Man Adopts Old Dogs From Shelters No One Else Wants
August 3, 2019
A man in Colorado felt at a loss after one of his dogs died so he began adopting dogs no one else wanted.
Steve Greig said he grieved for two months after his dog died before approaching a local animal shelter and asking if they had any dogs that no one wanted.
"So (I adopted) a 12-year-old Chihuahua named Eeyore with a heart murmur and four bad knees, and I brought him home, and that was just the beginning of all the animals," he said.
Greig now has 10 dogs. He adopted eight senior dogs with health issues and special diets, as well as his sister's dog, and a roommate's dog.
He also rescued a pig named Bikini, a rabbit and a chicken.
Greig says it is a fair bit of work to tend to so many animals, but he enjoys it.
"A normal day for me is getting up at 5 am in the morning and making breakfast for all of them, which, you know, there are 10 (dogs), and most of them have different diets."
On the weekends, he takes them to grooming appointments and the vet.
"I grew up with a lot of pets," Greig said. "Both my parents were animal lovers and they pretty much always let me have whatever I wanted as long as I could take care of it."
