Man Devotes His Life To Adopting Old Dogs Who Can’t Find Forever Homes

Months kept passing after Steve Greig’s beloved dog died, but he still felt crushed. That’s when he decided he should give another dog a good life. But not just any dog. He went to his local shelter in Denver, Colorado to adopt the “least adoptable” senior dog, as these are the ones too often overlooked. Now, Greig is a super busy human dad to his 10 elder shelter dogs and his Instagram is overloaded with cuteness approved by 478k followers. More info: Instagram (h/t: thedodo) | boredpanda

Months kept passing after Steve Greig’s beloved dog died, but he still felt crushed

“A month or two went by and I still felt so horrible about it”

“I decided that the only way I would feel better was if something good happened that probably wouldn’t have happened if he had not died”

“So [I adopted] a 12-year-old Chihuahua with a heart murmur and four bad knees”

“…And that was just the beginning of all the animals”

Now, Greig is a super busy human dad to his 10 elder shelter dogs

“A normal day for me is getting up at 5 a.m. in the morning and making breakfast for all of them”

“Which, you know, there’s 10 [dogs] and most of them have different diets”

He also takes them to grooming appointments and the vet

And administers medication to the ones with health problems

Greig even comes back from work during lunch time to let them outside and give treats

While he’s away, the lovely crowd has time to express themselves…

“I grew up with a lot of pets”

“Both my parents were animal lovers”

“They pretty much always let me have whatever I wanted as long as I could take care of it”

“[Senior dogs] are just wiser animals”

“They just make it feel like home”

“It’s just fulfilling knowing that these guys are happy and loved and well-taken care of”

“It makes my days worthwhile”
