00:00:01,235 --> 00:00:02,968
[tia] coming up

00:00:03,004 --> 00:00:06,005
[elise speaking]
3
00:00:08,442 --> 00:00:10,409
[mariah] going into a rescue
that, you know,
4
00:00:10,444 --> 00:00:13,245
the dog is injured,
means the dog
5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,347
would probably react to me.
You've already seen it?
6
00:00:15,383 --> 00:00:18,050
-[elise] oh...
-[mariah] oh, my...
7
00:00:18,085 --> 00:00:21,220
[toney] you ready to rock
and roll?
8
00:00:21,255 --> 00:00:24,156
[tia] working at the rescue,
you learn to care
9
00:00:24,191 --> 00:00:25,824
and you learn compassion.
10
00:00:25,860 --> 00:00:27,726
[spencer] there are all type
of doggies up in here.
11
00:00:27,762 --> 00:00:29,395
One day you might work here.
12
00:00:29,430 --> 00:00:32,164
[tia] that is the elements
that you need
13
00:00:32,199 --> 00:00:33,532
-to be a good parent.
-[toney] you wanna do
14
00:00:33,567 --> 00:00:34,967
the best you can for the dog
15
00:00:35,002 --> 00:00:37,669
so he can have
a comfortable spot to live.
16
00:00:37,705 --> 00:00:39,805
[mariah] a family
from florida...
17
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,373
-Hi, guys!

00:00:45,513 --> 00:00:47,579
-a new best friend.
-[lauren] oh.
21
00:00:47,615 --> 00:00:49,214
[mariah] I'm just not
comfortable yet.
22
00:00:49,250 --> 00:00:51,183
[lauren] don't worry.
I'm right here.
23
00:00:51,218 --> 00:00:54,453
[upbeat music playing]
24
00:00:54,488 --> 00:00:56,255
[tia] my name
is tia maria torres.
25
00:00:56,290 --> 00:00:58,290
For more than 20 years,
I've run a sanctuary
26
00:00:58,325 --> 00:01:00,392
dedicated to second chances.
27
00:01:03,464 --> 00:01:05,364
It's for over 300 pit bulls.
28
00:01:05,399 --> 00:01:07,599
The world's most
misunderstood breed of dog.
29
00:01:08,769 --> 00:01:10,169
And for parolees,
30
00:01:10,204 --> 00:01:13,038
the guys I hire
because no one else will.
31
00:01:13,074 --> 00:01:15,374
My family and I
have devoted our lives
32
00:01:15,409 --> 00:01:17,309
to saving these dogs
we love so much.
33
00:01:17,344 --> 00:01:19,578
From louisiana swamps
to the streets
34
00:01:19,613 --> 00:01:22,648
of new orleans,
the city of second chances,
35
00:01:22,683 --> 00:01:24,216
our mission is to rescue
36
00:01:24,251 --> 00:01:27,686
but my hope is one day,
we won't have to.
37
00:01:29,290 --> 00:01:32,291
[rock music playing]
38
00:01:43,204 --> 00:01:45,003
[indistinct chatter]
39
00:01:45,039 --> 00:01:46,705
[earl] give us
some of that cake.
40
00:01:46,740 --> 00:01:49,141
[tia] watching our employees,
41
00:01:49,176 --> 00:01:52,010
the kids, all having kids
of their own,
42
00:01:52,046 --> 00:01:54,246
still working at the rescue,
43
00:01:54,281 --> 00:01:56,181
just as dedicated
to the dogs.
44
00:01:56,217 --> 00:01:57,950
-[woman] for you.
-[mariah] luke, you say,
"hi, dakota."
45
00:01:57,985 --> 00:02:00,385
-[luke] hi, dakota.
-Say, "hi, baby girl."
46
00:02:00,421 --> 00:02:02,488
[tia] I have to admire that.
47
00:02:02,523 --> 00:02:04,456
Come on, jethro.
48
00:02:05,793 --> 00:02:08,627
[tia] the love of dogs
doesn't go away.
49
00:02:08,662 --> 00:02:09,995
That's all it is, man.
50
00:02:10,030 --> 00:02:11,430
Someone taking the initiative
to just step up
51
00:02:11,465 --> 00:02:13,599
-and to do it.
-[tia] we are a dog family,
52
00:02:13,634 --> 00:02:15,901
meaning the dogs and the kids
53
00:02:15,936 --> 00:02:18,871
are all a part
of that together.
54
00:02:21,142 --> 00:02:23,575
-How old is he now?
-He's six now.
55
00:02:23,611 --> 00:02:25,310
-[tia] god.
-Six, bro.
56
00:02:25,346 --> 00:02:27,479
-Wow.
-[toney] since I've been here,
57
00:02:27,515 --> 00:02:29,882
you know, I've had my kids,
so our son
58
00:02:29,917 --> 00:02:31,984
came since I've been here.
59
00:02:32,019 --> 00:02:34,987
And I've been with him since
he was born and everything.
60
00:02:35,022 --> 00:02:36,788
Well, you know, like,
our son always been, kinda,
61
00:02:36,824 --> 00:02:38,957
tagging along when I, kinda,
make my little stops
62
00:02:38,993 --> 00:02:40,559
and everything.
So he started to be
63
00:02:40,594 --> 00:02:42,761
a lot more wanting
to know what I...
64
00:02:42,796 --> 00:02:44,129
What dad is doing.
65
00:02:44,165 --> 00:02:45,597
But I've been, kinda,
like, trying to get him
66
00:02:45,633 --> 00:02:47,699
more active and he'd been
hanging with me a little more.
67
00:02:47,735 --> 00:02:49,334
You know,
he rides around with me
68
00:02:49,370 --> 00:02:51,637
to some of the locations,
checks the properties.
69
00:02:51,672 --> 00:02:53,505
He kinda know them
by name already,
70
00:02:53,541 --> 00:02:55,007
catching on to a few things,
71
00:02:55,042 --> 00:02:56,341
so he really think he's my,
72
00:02:56,377 --> 00:02:58,076
you know, assistant
and everything.
73
00:02:58,112 --> 00:02:59,545
He'd been helping
with the dog tests
74
00:02:59,580 --> 00:03:01,613
-and stuff like the kids...
-Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
he's quite...
75
00:03:01,649 --> 00:03:03,415
[toney] ...So he thinks
he's a... He thinks he's a dog
76
00:03:03,450 --> 00:03:04,917
-tester now, you know.
-[tia] yeah, yeah, yeah.
77
00:03:04,952 --> 00:03:06,051
[toney] so now
he's talking about, um,
78
00:03:06,086 --> 00:03:07,686
he's ready to clean kennels.
79
00:03:07,721 --> 00:03:09,488
But, um, he be wanting to
like, try to work a little
80
00:03:09,523 --> 00:03:10,889
-or something there.
-[laughs] he's six.
81
00:03:10,925 --> 00:03:12,691
[toney] yeah, he keeps saying,
"I wanna give it in the...
82
00:03:12,726 --> 00:03:14,193
I wanna come clean
the kennel." this and that.
83
00:03:14,228 --> 00:03:15,594
He talk like he work with us,
84
00:03:15,629 --> 00:03:17,462
but I was just trying to see
if it would be okay.
85
00:03:17,498 --> 00:03:19,398
I was thinking,
like, if we pull like
86
00:03:19,433 --> 00:03:20,966
the five dogs
from out the back,
87
00:03:21,001 --> 00:03:22,568
grab one,
have the kennels empty.
88
00:03:22,603 --> 00:03:24,136
Oh, you want him to head
over to the kennel.
89
00:03:24,171 --> 00:03:26,004
[toney] yeah, like, if I,
like, pull a dog or what...
90
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,673
You know, I can take like
the first five out
91
00:03:27,708 --> 00:03:29,174
and let him, kinda,
run in there.
92
00:03:29,210 --> 00:03:31,009
Show him the little ins
and outs, and what's expected.
93
00:03:31,045 --> 00:03:32,377
Oh, my god, so cute.
94
00:03:32,413 --> 00:03:35,247
You know, toney
is very much the family man
95
00:03:35,282 --> 00:03:38,050
and he's a spectacular father.
96
00:03:38,085 --> 00:03:39,818
My kids grew up in it.
97
00:03:39,853 --> 00:03:41,853
-[toney] yeah, yeah,
they got...
-They totally grew up in it.
98
00:03:41,889 --> 00:03:44,022
-Yes, ma'am.
-Yeah. Tania was small
99
00:03:44,058 --> 00:03:46,024
and then mariah
was born into it.
100
00:03:46,060 --> 00:03:47,426
-Yes, ma'am.
-And then the twins were...
101
00:03:47,461 --> 00:03:49,127
When they were, like,
younger teens, they got...
102
00:03:49,163 --> 00:03:51,363
You know, they were
brought in, so, um...
103
00:03:51,398 --> 00:03:52,764
Oh, a part of their life
for so long.
104
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,299
-Yeah, that's they all know.
-Yes, ma'am.
105
00:03:54,335 --> 00:03:56,201
[tia] raising kids
around animals,
106
00:03:56,237 --> 00:03:57,769
to me, there's no other life.
107
00:03:57,805 --> 00:03:59,137
Like, it's just the ultimate.
108
00:03:59,173 --> 00:04:01,139
You can learn so much
from them.
109
00:04:01,175 --> 00:04:03,008
And this is all they know,
you know,
110
00:04:03,043 --> 00:04:04,610
which is, kinda, scary
'cause I don't know what else
111
00:04:04,645 --> 00:04:06,612
-they would do for work but...
-Yes, ma'am.
112
00:04:06,647 --> 00:04:08,480
[tia] and I think
it's wonderful that toney
113
00:04:08,515 --> 00:04:11,250
wants to include his son,
you know,
114
00:04:11,285 --> 00:04:13,518
at such an early age.
It'd be fun for him.
115
00:04:13,554 --> 00:04:15,087
-[toney] yeah. All right.
-Holy, holy, toney.
116
00:04:15,122 --> 00:04:16,054
I think it'd be cute.
117
00:04:18,459 --> 00:04:21,460
[upbeat music playing]
118
00:04:23,130 --> 00:04:24,296
[dog barking]
119
00:04:29,770 --> 00:04:31,370
[mariah] thanks for helping me
with this, babe.
120
00:04:31,405 --> 00:04:33,338
-[kanani] yeah, absolutely.
-[mariah] today, kanani and I
121
00:04:33,374 --> 00:04:35,707
are meeting with a family
from florida...
122
00:04:35,743 --> 00:04:37,342
-Hi, guys!
-[all] hi!
123
00:04:37,378 --> 00:04:39,911
[mariah] ...That is bringing
their dog, princess,
124
00:04:39,947 --> 00:04:42,014
to meet some new friends
and hopefully find
125
00:04:42,049 --> 00:04:43,382
a new best friend.
126
00:04:43,417 --> 00:04:45,250
Okay. Are you guys excited
to meet some dogs today?
127
00:04:45,286 --> 00:04:46,318
-[all] yes.
-[mariah] yeah?
128
00:04:46,353 --> 00:04:47,419
All right.
We're gonna go sit
129
00:04:47,454 --> 00:04:49,087
right under here and then
I'll just talk to you guys
130
00:04:49,123 --> 00:04:50,689
a little bit and then
we'll probably have you
131
00:04:50,724 --> 00:04:53,025
bring your dog out
just so we can meet her
132
00:04:53,060 --> 00:04:54,226
before we bring
the others out.
133
00:04:54,261 --> 00:04:55,560
-[david] yeah.
-[lauren] sounds good.
134
00:04:55,596 --> 00:04:57,963
[david] my name is david.
Today, I brought my wife,
135
00:04:57,998 --> 00:05:00,032
my daughter,
lauren and trysta,
136
00:05:00,067 --> 00:05:02,768
and our furry daughter,
princess.
137
00:05:02,803 --> 00:05:04,603
[mariah] it's a hot day.
138
00:05:04,638 --> 00:05:06,204
So hopefully it'll feel
a bit better under here
139
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:07,773
in the shade.
140
00:05:07,808 --> 00:05:10,008
[david] princess is about
a seven-year-old black lab.
141
00:05:10,044 --> 00:05:13,478
She is probably the
biggest contributing factor
142
00:05:13,514 --> 00:05:15,247
of why we chose to come here
143
00:05:15,282 --> 00:05:18,083
knowing the care
that villalobos puts
144
00:05:18,118 --> 00:05:20,485
into finding the right dog
for the right family.
145
00:05:20,521 --> 00:05:23,588
It's not just
about getting a dog.
146
00:05:23,624 --> 00:05:25,390
It's the perfect dog mixes
147
00:05:25,426 --> 00:05:27,793
with our family dynamics.
148
00:05:27,828 --> 00:05:29,328
[mariah] before we start,
why don't you guys
149
00:05:29,363 --> 00:05:31,797
tell us, like,
what types of stuff you guys
150
00:05:31,832 --> 00:05:33,365
like to do with your dog
or you like to do
151
00:05:33,434 --> 00:05:35,767
-just at home or...
-Definitely we hang out
152
00:05:35,803 --> 00:05:38,804
with the dog, we go
into the pool a lot with her.
153
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,239
You know, we try and do
some small trips with her.
154
00:05:41,275 --> 00:05:42,808
[mariah] so your dog...
She's pretty much with you
155
00:05:42,843 --> 00:05:44,142
-guys all the time.
Just...
-[lauren] yes.
156
00:05:44,178 --> 00:05:45,610
[mariah] ...Kinda, hangs out
with the family?
157
00:05:45,646 --> 00:05:46,778
-Yeah. Mmm-hmm.
-Right.
158
00:05:46,814 --> 00:05:48,580
Okay. So we're looking for
a dog to do the same thing?
159
00:05:48,615 --> 00:05:50,482
-[all] yeah.
-[mariah] yeah? Okay.
160
00:05:50,517 --> 00:05:52,684
[lauren] princess
is a very active dog.
161
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,353
She has lots of energy.
162
00:05:54,388 --> 00:05:55,721
So we just need another dog
163
00:05:55,756 --> 00:05:57,889
that will meet
that match for her.
164
00:05:57,925 --> 00:05:59,991
[mariah] your dog,
currently, princess,
165
00:06:00,027 --> 00:06:01,393
has she been around
a lot of dogs?
166
00:06:01,428 --> 00:06:02,694
Has she lived
with dogs before?
167
00:06:02,730 --> 00:06:04,629
[david] we had a second dog
up till a year ago.
168
00:06:04,665 --> 00:06:06,832
-[mariah] okay.
-We had a rottweiler
boxer mix...
169
00:06:06,867 --> 00:06:08,667
-[mariah] oh.
-...For 15 years.
170
00:06:08,702 --> 00:06:11,536
[david] moses and princess
were like that little sister
171
00:06:11,572 --> 00:06:14,306
to the big brother, like,
they were bonded
172
00:06:14,341 --> 00:06:17,342
the moment we brought
her home for christmas.
173
00:06:17,378 --> 00:06:18,710
They would sit there,
and lay down,
174
00:06:18,746 --> 00:06:21,046
and cuddle together,
and it was that way
175
00:06:21,081 --> 00:06:22,414
all the way up
to the very end.
176
00:06:22,449 --> 00:06:24,316
-Oh, okay.
-So there was a dog,
177
00:06:24,351 --> 00:06:26,218
-so she was the new one,
so now...
-[trysta] yeah.
178
00:06:26,253 --> 00:06:28,186
-...She's gonna be the og.
-Yeah.
179
00:06:28,222 --> 00:06:30,322
-Yeah, you know it.
-[mariah] yes. Absolutely.
180
00:06:30,357 --> 00:06:32,758
Has she ever been around
any other dogs or...
181
00:06:32,793 --> 00:06:34,025
-We've taken them to...
-We brought her...
182
00:06:34,061 --> 00:06:35,594
-...Dog parks...
-Okay.
183
00:06:35,629 --> 00:06:37,162
...And stuff like that.
184
00:06:37,197 --> 00:06:39,197
A friend of ours
have dogs, have...
185
00:06:39,233 --> 00:06:40,832
She's been around some
other dogs here and there.
186
00:06:40,868 --> 00:06:43,568
[mariah] okay. So she's pretty
good with any dog she meets?
187
00:06:43,604 --> 00:06:44,803
-Yes.
-Yes, she's very friendly.
188
00:06:44,838 --> 00:06:46,405
[mariah] okay.
I think what this family
189
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,674
is looking for is just a good
best friend for princess
190
00:06:49,710 --> 00:06:51,843
and a dog that they can
hang out with
191
00:06:51,879 --> 00:06:54,746
that loves to go swimming and
loves to do the family events
192
00:06:54,782 --> 00:06:57,215
and activities with them
and just someone
193
00:06:57,251 --> 00:06:59,484
that can fit in with them
as well as their dog.
194
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,153
Explain, like,
what her play style is,
195
00:07:01,188 --> 00:07:02,521
does she like to just coexist
196
00:07:02,556 --> 00:07:04,689
or does she really
wanna rumble and tumble?
197
00:07:04,725 --> 00:07:06,158
[trysta] it depends,
there's times
198
00:07:06,193 --> 00:07:08,460
where she'll like run around
and, like, kind of,
199
00:07:08,495 --> 00:07:09,961
antagonize a little bit,
like, jump on them...
200
00:07:09,997 --> 00:07:11,830
-Okay. Yeah.
-[trysta] ...And, like,
goof around with them.
201
00:07:11,865 --> 00:07:13,532
But then there's also times
where she'll just, like,
202
00:07:13,567 --> 00:07:14,866
-not care.
-[mariah] just wanna be,
203
00:07:14,902 --> 00:07:16,168
-kinda, independent?
-Yeah.
204
00:07:16,203 --> 00:07:17,903
[mariah] okay. So she can
do both, she can coexist
205
00:07:17,938 --> 00:07:20,172
but she can also play
and, you know,
206
00:07:20,207 --> 00:07:21,840
when she's tired,
go do her own thing.
207
00:07:21,875 --> 00:07:23,475
Okay. Perfect.
208
00:07:23,510 --> 00:07:25,177
[trysta] princess wants
another play buddy,
209
00:07:25,212 --> 00:07:27,279
someone she can just
have fun with,
210
00:07:27,314 --> 00:07:29,314
like, run around the house
and goof off with.
211
00:07:29,349 --> 00:07:31,783
Is there anything specific
you're looking for in a dog?
212
00:07:31,819 --> 00:07:33,452
[lauren] we all want
something different.
213
00:07:33,487 --> 00:07:34,786
-[laughter]
-[mariah] oh, okay.
214
00:07:34,822 --> 00:07:38,457
Well, I got a big selection,
so that's good.
215
00:07:38,492 --> 00:07:40,992
Me, personally,
I've always been partial
216
00:07:41,028 --> 00:07:43,395
to getting something small,
you know, like,
217
00:07:43,430 --> 00:07:46,131
-a bullmastiff, or...
-Oh, got you. Okay.
218
00:07:46,166 --> 00:07:48,200
-[laughter]
-so, you're really off
219
00:07:48,235 --> 00:07:50,802
-in left field.
-Right.
220
00:07:50,838 --> 00:07:53,538
[mariah] we don't have any of
those in our selection today,
221
00:07:53,574 --> 00:07:55,240
but we got
a couple bigger boys.
222
00:07:55,275 --> 00:07:57,375
When there's a current dog
in the home,
223
00:07:57,411 --> 00:07:59,478
it's not really, like,
you're shopping for yourself
224
00:07:59,513 --> 00:08:01,580
because you're shopping
for a new best friend
225
00:08:01,615 --> 00:08:03,748
for your dog. So, that's
gonna be the challenge
226
00:08:03,784 --> 00:08:06,151
is winning
over princess today.
227
00:08:06,186 --> 00:08:08,887
Hi, are you nervous?
228
00:08:08,922 --> 00:08:10,922
Are you ready
to meet a friend?
229
00:08:10,958 --> 00:08:12,424
She goes swimming
with you guys, right?
230
00:08:12,459 --> 00:08:13,692
-Yes. She jumps in.
-She actually jumps
231
00:08:13,727 --> 00:08:15,393
-in the pool before us.
-[mariah] so I have a feeling
232
00:08:15,429 --> 00:08:16,761
she might end up
in the pond.
233
00:08:16,797 --> 00:08:18,029
-[lauren] yeah.
-[laughs]
234
00:08:18,065 --> 00:08:20,031
why don't you go grab gogarty
235
00:08:20,067 --> 00:08:22,300
and we'll do him first.
236
00:08:22,336 --> 00:08:26,538
Gogarty is just
your typical lab.
237
00:08:26,573 --> 00:08:28,874
He's really fun-loving,
very outgoing,
238
00:08:28,909 --> 00:08:30,809
very confident,
loves the water,
239
00:08:30,844 --> 00:08:32,944
loves dogs, loves people.
240
00:08:32,980 --> 00:08:34,579
He's just got a really
good spirit
241
00:08:34,615 --> 00:08:37,782
and I think that he could
possibly win over princess.
242
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,119
All right.
243
00:08:41,154 --> 00:08:42,521
You guys are welcome
to come meet him,
244
00:08:42,556 --> 00:08:43,989
if you guys wanna
meet him first.
245
00:08:44,024 --> 00:08:45,357
-[trysta] hi.
-[mariah] hold on, bud.
246
00:08:45,392 --> 00:08:47,158
-[trysta] hi, buddy.
-[mariah] say hi.
247
00:08:47,194 --> 00:08:48,827
-[trysta] oh, look at you.
-[mariah] hi, mr. Man.
248
00:08:48,862 --> 00:08:50,362
-He's so sweet.
-[lauren] you're gorgeous.
249
00:08:50,397 --> 00:08:52,531
[trysta] gogarty
when I first saw him,
250
00:08:52,566 --> 00:08:54,199
I really like him,
he's really cute,
251
00:08:54,234 --> 00:08:55,433
labs are adorable to me.
252
00:08:55,469 --> 00:08:56,835
[mariah] I know
you're ready to play.
253
00:08:56,870 --> 00:08:59,170
They're all so excited
when they meet new people.
254
00:08:59,206 --> 00:09:00,705
[trysta] he seemed energetic
and, like, happy
255
00:09:00,741 --> 00:09:02,340
and I really like that
'cause it seemed like
256
00:09:02,376 --> 00:09:03,808
it would be a lot of fun.
257
00:09:03,844 --> 00:09:05,944
So, I feel like it was gonna
be a really good match.
258
00:09:05,979 --> 00:09:07,379
[mariah] you ready
to meet someone?
259
00:09:07,414 --> 00:09:09,147
Come on.
And we'll just take it...
260
00:09:09,182 --> 00:09:11,850
We'll just let them,
kinda, sniff noses.
261
00:09:11,885 --> 00:09:14,986
Good girl, good boy.
You're so...
262
00:09:15,022 --> 00:09:16,788
You're such a happy boy.
263
00:09:16,823 --> 00:09:18,323
You're such a happy boy.
264
00:09:18,358 --> 00:09:20,325
Good boy.
You kissed her?
265
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,861
No. It'd just take...
It may take her a little...
266
00:09:22,896 --> 00:09:24,563
-[lauren] I know.
-[mariah] it's a...
It's a new place,
267
00:09:24,598 --> 00:09:26,665
-there's so many smells, too.
-[lauren] yeah, look.
268
00:09:26,700 --> 00:09:28,967
Look at the water,
you wanna look?
269
00:09:29,002 --> 00:09:30,702
[mariah] gogarty is like,
"I'll go in with you."
270
00:09:30,737 --> 00:09:32,203
as you can see
he likes water, too,
271
00:09:32,239 --> 00:09:34,139
maybe that will get
her interest up.
272
00:09:34,174 --> 00:09:35,907
[david] when gogarty
went into the water,
273
00:09:35,943 --> 00:09:37,776
it was very encouraging
and it showed me
274
00:09:37,811 --> 00:09:39,544
that he had no fear
of the water.
275
00:09:39,580 --> 00:09:41,646
[mariah] do you wanna
swim in, buddy?
276
00:09:41,648 --> 00:09:42,747
[lauren] come on.
Come here.
277
00:09:42,783 --> 00:09:43,782
[mariah] she's like,
"I want to,
278
00:09:43,817 --> 00:09:46,451
I'm just not comfortable yet."
279
00:09:46,486 --> 00:09:48,053
[lauren] yeah.
She's just being shy.
280
00:09:48,088 --> 00:09:51,156
[mariah] when gogarty came
out, he was really excited
281
00:09:51,191 --> 00:09:53,959
to meet everyone.
So I think that princess
282
00:09:53,994 --> 00:09:55,226
might have been
a little put off
283
00:09:55,262 --> 00:09:57,228
that he was so active,
284
00:09:57,264 --> 00:09:58,964
but she didn't do
anything negative
285
00:09:58,999 --> 00:10:01,800
and he did really good
about giving her her space.
286
00:10:01,835 --> 00:10:04,436
So I think that overall,
it went really well.
287
00:10:04,471 --> 00:10:06,371
She's definitely
not uncomfortable with him,
288
00:10:06,406 --> 00:10:08,239
she's just a little nervous
in general.
289
00:10:08,275 --> 00:10:10,976
So let's bring out
the next dog.
290
00:10:11,011 --> 00:10:12,611
[trysta] okay.
291
00:10:12,646 --> 00:10:15,246
[mariah] so attila came in
through our assumption jail.
292
00:10:15,282 --> 00:10:17,816
He is about two and a half
and he's been here
293
00:10:17,851 --> 00:10:20,118
at villalobos
for about five months.
294
00:10:20,153 --> 00:10:21,820
He definitely had
to have been loved
295
00:10:21,855 --> 00:10:24,756
at some point because he's
just got really good manners.
296
00:10:24,791 --> 00:10:27,359
He's just overall
a really happy dog
297
00:10:27,394 --> 00:10:29,661
and a dog that's just ready
to go and do whatever.
298
00:10:29,696 --> 00:10:32,831
So I think he'll be
a good fit for this family.
299
00:10:32,866 --> 00:10:34,466
Do you wanna meet a girl?
Here.
300
00:10:34,501 --> 00:10:36,368
Come on, mr. Man,
let's say hi.
301
00:10:36,403 --> 00:10:38,269
-You wanna say hi first?
-[lauren] hi.
302
00:10:38,305 --> 00:10:40,472
[mariah] he's like, "hi. Hi."
[chuckles]
303
00:10:40,507 --> 00:10:42,574
oh. Okay, don't...
304
00:10:42,609 --> 00:10:44,309
-[lauren] oh, there we go.
-[mariah] oh, look at her.
305
00:10:44,344 --> 00:10:45,910
[trysta] yeah,
she's really interested.
306
00:10:45,946 --> 00:10:48,380
[mariah] he's just like
a fun, cute boy.
307
00:10:48,415 --> 00:10:50,849
Probably a husky akita
something's mixed in there.
308
00:10:50,884 --> 00:10:52,283
[lauren] yeah. Exactly.
309
00:10:52,319 --> 00:10:53,752
[mariah] he's got
really pretty eyes.
310
00:10:53,787 --> 00:10:55,787
[david] my immediate reaction
with attila
311
00:10:55,822 --> 00:10:58,890
was it was a beautiful dog.
312
00:10:58,925 --> 00:11:02,827
I love that mix
of those breeds,
313
00:11:02,863 --> 00:11:05,363
especially with how
their tail curls like that.
314
00:11:05,399 --> 00:11:06,765
[mariah] okay.
Let's go for a walk.
315
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,467
Come on.
Come on, pretty.
316
00:11:09,503 --> 00:11:11,769
[lauren] don't worry.
317
00:11:11,772 --> 00:11:12,971
I'm right here.
318
00:11:13,006 --> 00:11:15,040
[mariah] here,
let's go walk, go walk.
319
00:11:15,075 --> 00:11:18,109
You could see princess was
a little interested in him,
320
00:11:18,145 --> 00:11:20,945
but attila was really
interested in smelling
321
00:11:20,981 --> 00:11:22,313
and, kind of,
doing his own thing.
322
00:11:22,349 --> 00:11:24,382
So I don't think
that he was
323
00:11:24,418 --> 00:11:26,718
really paying attention
to the adopters.
324
00:11:26,753 --> 00:11:28,720
Okay. Well, let's put him up
325
00:11:28,755 --> 00:11:30,221
and let's try another one.
326
00:11:32,392 --> 00:11:34,726
When pleagle came in
at our rescue,
327
00:11:34,761 --> 00:11:38,430
he looked like a little
beagle plott hound mix to me.
328
00:11:38,465 --> 00:11:40,432
So I, kind of,
put those names together
329
00:11:40,467 --> 00:11:42,133
and it came out pleagle.
330
00:11:42,169 --> 00:11:45,170
Pleagle was my curve ball
in this adoption.
331
00:11:45,205 --> 00:11:46,971
He's definitely smaller.
332
00:11:47,007 --> 00:11:50,041
He is just
a really happy dog.
333
00:11:50,077 --> 00:11:51,843
He loves other dogs.
334
00:11:51,878 --> 00:11:53,244
He loves people.
335
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,080
He is one of the dogs
that I just think
336
00:11:55,115 --> 00:11:57,348
could fit really well
with their dog,
337
00:11:57,384 --> 00:11:59,384
and their family,
and their lifestyle.
338
00:11:59,419 --> 00:12:02,353
And he's got this sweet
little puppy face
339
00:12:02,389 --> 00:12:04,222
that really wins
people over.
340
00:12:04,257 --> 00:12:05,657
-Come, just say...
-[lauren] oh, my gosh.
341
00:12:05,692 --> 00:12:08,159
I know. What do you think
about... Oh.
342
00:12:08,195 --> 00:12:10,295
Oh, we are already
interested, huh?
343
00:12:10,330 --> 00:12:12,430
[mariah] I know,
look at her.
344
00:12:12,466 --> 00:12:13,732
-Oh, my goodness.
-[trysta] yes. Hi.
345
00:12:13,767 --> 00:12:15,233
[mariah] yeah. That was like
the most interest
346
00:12:15,268 --> 00:12:16,968
-I've seen her in.
-[trysta] yeah.
347
00:12:17,003 --> 00:12:18,703
She was like actually went
up to him first.
348
00:12:18,739 --> 00:12:20,238
[mariah] yeah,
you wanna walk with him?
349
00:12:20,273 --> 00:12:22,941
When pleagle came out,
he really got
350
00:12:22,976 --> 00:12:24,309
the interest of princess.
351
00:12:24,344 --> 00:12:25,643
He was one of the only dogs
352
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,146
that she really seemed
to wanna sniff.
353
00:12:28,181 --> 00:12:31,015
And I think it was
really nice to see her
354
00:12:31,051 --> 00:12:33,752
have a little bit
of a connection with him.
355
00:12:33,787 --> 00:12:35,553
So, yeah. We got...
356
00:12:35,589 --> 00:12:38,123
Who knows what he really is,
357
00:12:38,158 --> 00:12:39,858
-but he's just one of the...
-[trysta] what a mixture.
358
00:12:39,893 --> 00:12:42,193
...Sweetest boys ever. Hi.
359
00:12:42,229 --> 00:12:43,862
Well, I definitely think
she had a lot...
360
00:12:43,897 --> 00:12:45,530
She has a lot of interest
in him.
361
00:12:45,565 --> 00:12:48,032
-[lauren] uh-hmm.
-[mariah] she definitely seems
362
00:12:48,068 --> 00:12:49,968
very comfortable with him.
What do you think?
363
00:12:50,036 --> 00:12:51,770
-[lauren] you like him,
princess?
-[trysta] how are you?
364
00:12:51,805 --> 00:12:53,071
[mariah] he's like,
"just hold me."
365
00:12:53,106 --> 00:12:55,006
he is, like,
just one of those dogs
366
00:12:55,041 --> 00:12:56,674
that will sit
in your lap all day.
367
00:12:56,710 --> 00:12:58,576
[trysta] pleagle
was really small, like,
368
00:12:58,612 --> 00:13:00,512
so cute and just like came
and jump on me
369
00:13:00,547 --> 00:13:03,014
and, like, just show
a lot of attention.
370
00:13:03,049 --> 00:13:04,582
[mariah] she's just
so comfortable.
371
00:13:04,618 --> 00:13:05,650
[trysta] yeah.
372
00:13:05,685 --> 00:13:07,118
[mariah] what do you think
about him?
373
00:13:07,154 --> 00:13:08,787
[trysta] and princess
definitely showed a lot
374
00:13:08,822 --> 00:13:09,821
of interest in him.
375
00:13:09,856 --> 00:13:12,724
So it was, like,
it just seemed perfect.
376
00:13:12,759 --> 00:13:15,093
So does his size not...
377
00:13:15,128 --> 00:13:16,928
Are you not a fan
of his size?
378
00:13:16,963 --> 00:13:18,930
That size is fine, it's...
379
00:13:18,965 --> 00:13:21,032
When they go smaller like
the shi tzu size and stuff...
380
00:13:21,067 --> 00:13:22,167
When you said that,
I was worried,
381
00:13:22,202 --> 00:13:23,668
I was like, "pleagle
is the smallest one.
382
00:13:23,703 --> 00:13:24,836
I don't know."
383
00:13:24,871 --> 00:13:27,172
but his personality
makes up for it.
384
00:13:27,207 --> 00:13:29,307
[lauren] pleagle did meet
our expectations
385
00:13:29,342 --> 00:13:31,943
but still on the small side.
386
00:13:31,978 --> 00:13:34,479
I was looking more
for something
387
00:13:34,514 --> 00:13:35,980
maybe to match princess.
388
00:13:36,016 --> 00:13:37,849
[david] you're gonna say bye
to your buddy?
389
00:13:37,884 --> 00:13:39,184
[mariah] yeah,
she really did seem like
390
00:13:39,219 --> 00:13:40,819
she was more interested...
Oh, look, she's like,
391
00:13:40,854 --> 00:13:43,388
"where is he going?"
392
00:13:43,423 --> 00:13:44,956
[lauren] yeah.
Like I can...
393
00:13:44,991 --> 00:13:46,658
[david] oh,
she just gave a whine.
394
00:13:46,693 --> 00:13:48,927
With pleagle, honestly
there's nothing I can say
395
00:13:48,962 --> 00:13:51,229
I didn't like about him
and the thing
396
00:13:51,264 --> 00:13:54,199
that really got me
is when they left with him,
397
00:13:54,234 --> 00:13:55,466
she sat there and whined.
398
00:13:57,838 --> 00:13:59,971
That was part
of the immediate connection
399
00:14:00,006 --> 00:14:01,840
that we were looking for.
400
00:14:01,875 --> 00:14:04,442
[mariah] we can bring him
back if you want.
401
00:14:04,477 --> 00:14:06,377
Let's meet one more.
402
00:14:07,347 --> 00:14:10,215
Kila is a black lab
who came in through
403
00:14:10,250 --> 00:14:11,816
our assumption parish jail.
404
00:14:11,852 --> 00:14:14,018
She is about a year old,
405
00:14:14,054 --> 00:14:16,354
but she acts very mature.
406
00:14:16,389 --> 00:14:18,022
She's got really good manners
407
00:14:18,058 --> 00:14:21,559
and just really good in a lot
of different situations.
408
00:14:21,595 --> 00:14:23,728
Come say hi.
409
00:14:23,763 --> 00:14:26,097
Look, there's a little girl
just like you.
410
00:14:26,132 --> 00:14:29,234
Say hi. Good girl.
411
00:14:29,269 --> 00:14:30,935
-Oh.
-[lauren] oh.
412
00:14:30,971 --> 00:14:32,637
[mariah] do you like
girls better?
413
00:14:32,672 --> 00:14:34,472
She is pretty much full grown,
I don't think
414
00:14:34,507 --> 00:14:36,040
-she's gonna grow much more.
-[lauren] hi.
415
00:14:36,076 --> 00:14:37,909
Oh. Oh, you are so cute.
416
00:14:37,944 --> 00:14:40,278
-[mariah] say hi baby.
-[trysta] adorable.
417
00:14:40,313 --> 00:14:42,580
-[mariah] let's walk 'em
around a little bit.
-[lauren] come on. Come on.
418
00:14:42,616 --> 00:14:43,982
-Come on over here.
-[mariah] come on.
419
00:14:44,017 --> 00:14:45,817
[lauren] I really liked kila
420
00:14:45,852 --> 00:14:48,853
and she seemed to adapt
to princess right away.
421
00:14:48,889 --> 00:14:51,656
-Kila is my number one.
-[david] it's a mini princess.
422
00:14:51,691 --> 00:14:53,157
-[lauren] I know.
-[mariah] it is.
I mean, right.
423
00:14:53,193 --> 00:14:56,694
They totally look like they
could be related for sure.
424
00:14:56,730 --> 00:14:58,529
She does seem
very comfortable, though.
425
00:14:58,565 --> 00:15:00,632
-[lauren] definitely.
-[trysta] yeah, she's
definitely comfortable...
426
00:15:00,667 --> 00:15:02,567
Because she's touching her
with her back legs.
427
00:15:02,602 --> 00:15:05,069
[mariah] honestly,
it's usually up to the dog
428
00:15:05,105 --> 00:15:06,337
to make the decision.
429
00:15:06,373 --> 00:15:08,640
I think the meet
and greet went really well.
430
00:15:08,675 --> 00:15:11,876
Overall, it was a little hard
to get a good reading
431
00:15:11,912 --> 00:15:13,311
from their dog, princess.
432
00:15:13,380 --> 00:15:14,979
She was very calm
and laid back,
433
00:15:15,015 --> 00:15:17,048
but she definitely didn't
give us a lot of input
434
00:15:17,083 --> 00:15:19,617
on which dog she preferred.
435
00:15:19,653 --> 00:15:22,020
So, I'm really excited
to see what dog
436
00:15:22,055 --> 00:15:23,688
they end up choosing.
437
00:15:23,723 --> 00:15:26,724
Is there any of them that,
kinda, stood out to you guys?
438
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,761
I know you mentioned kila
stood out a little bit?
439
00:15:29,796 --> 00:15:31,329
-Yes.
-[mariah] yeah? Okay. Any...
440
00:15:31,364 --> 00:15:32,830
What about you guys,
any dogs stand out?
441
00:15:32,866 --> 00:15:35,066
[trysta] uh, I like, um,
the one who starts with p.
442
00:15:35,101 --> 00:15:36,601
[mariah] pleagle?
The little cute one.
443
00:15:36,636 --> 00:15:38,836
-[trysta] I like him.
-[david] surprisingly,
444
00:15:38,872 --> 00:15:40,505
I like pleagle,
the smallest one.
445
00:15:40,540 --> 00:15:42,407
[mariah] really?
See, you never know
446
00:15:42,442 --> 00:15:44,242
-until you meet them.
-[trysta] right. Yeah.
447
00:15:44,277 --> 00:15:46,511
-Yeah, that's true.
-I was like,
"he was my curve ball."
448
00:15:46,546 --> 00:15:48,579
-yeah. Curve ball?
-[mariah] just 'cause
he's so sweet.
449
00:15:48,615 --> 00:15:50,014
-Yeah.
-[david] with pleagle,
450
00:15:50,050 --> 00:15:51,649
I liked his personality.
451
00:15:51,685 --> 00:15:55,520
I like how he was very close
with everybody right away.
452
00:15:55,555 --> 00:15:58,189
The way princess
hit it off with him.
453
00:15:58,224 --> 00:16:00,591
To me, that overlooked
my whole thing
454
00:16:00,627 --> 00:16:01,893
with the smaller size dog.
455
00:16:01,928 --> 00:16:04,963
I think both of those choices
are for sure
456
00:16:04,998 --> 00:16:06,698
would be totally fine
with her.
457
00:16:06,733 --> 00:16:08,566
-Yeah.
-Those were the ones
she was most comfortable with.
458
00:16:08,601 --> 00:16:10,068
[mariah] yeah.
Absolutely.
459
00:16:10,103 --> 00:16:12,337
[lauren] pleagle
is really a great dog
460
00:16:12,372 --> 00:16:14,205
and then princess
seem to have
461
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,240
had more of a connection
with pleagle.
462
00:16:16,276 --> 00:16:18,576
I think you guys just gotta
make a decision now.
463
00:16:18,611 --> 00:16:19,978
[kanani] yeah.
That's the hard part.
464
00:16:20,013 --> 00:16:21,479
That's the hard part, right?
465
00:16:21,514 --> 00:16:23,047
[mariah] I told them
to definitely go home
466
00:16:23,083 --> 00:16:25,450
and think on it,
it's a really big decision
467
00:16:25,485 --> 00:16:27,452
and you wanna make sure
that everyone in the family
468
00:16:27,487 --> 00:16:30,388
is on the same page before
making a decision like that.
469
00:16:30,423 --> 00:16:32,156
-Thank you, guys.
-Nice to meet you all.
470
00:16:32,192 --> 00:16:33,524
[mariah] be careful
on your drive home.
471
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,727
-[lauren] okay.
-Thanks, babe.
472
00:16:41,267 --> 00:16:44,268
[dramatic music playing]
473
00:16:50,410 --> 00:16:53,411
[dog barking]
474
00:16:59,019 --> 00:17:00,151
you're fine.
475
00:17:00,186 --> 00:17:02,286
I was at the rescue
and got a call
476
00:17:02,322 --> 00:17:04,021
from one
of our employees elise,
477
00:17:04,024 --> 00:17:06,391
saying that there was a dog
478
00:17:06,426 --> 00:17:08,393
sitting underneath
the carport.
479
00:17:08,428 --> 00:17:10,028
So, I got the address
you sent me,
480
00:17:10,063 --> 00:17:11,262
but what's going on?
481
00:17:11,297 --> 00:17:14,265
[elise speaking]
482
00:17:22,042 --> 00:17:24,409
[mariah] she's been
sitting there all day?
483
00:17:24,477 --> 00:17:27,678
-[elise speaking]
-[mariah] I got crate already.
484
00:17:27,714 --> 00:17:29,447
-[elise] okay. Cool.
-I'm literally gonna be there
485
00:17:29,482 --> 00:17:31,482
-in, like, two seconds.
So I will see you in a minute.
-[elise] okay.
486
00:17:32,685 --> 00:17:36,054
Going into a rescue that
you know the dog is injured,
487
00:17:36,089 --> 00:17:37,688
I don't know how bad,
all I know
488
00:17:37,724 --> 00:17:39,323
is the dog hadn't moved.
489
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,960
So in my head,
the dog is not okay
490
00:17:42,996 --> 00:17:46,130
which means the dog
could probably react to me.
491
00:17:46,166 --> 00:17:49,767
So, it's dog biting me
out of not feeling well
492
00:17:49,803 --> 00:17:52,570
and the dog
possibly not making it.
493
00:17:52,605 --> 00:17:55,540
[tense music playing]
494
00:17:55,575 --> 00:17:56,741
[mariah] all right.
I got some treats,
495
00:17:56,776 --> 00:17:58,810
I have a crate and blanket.
496
00:17:58,845 --> 00:18:00,178
You've already seen it?
497
00:18:05,919 --> 00:18:08,920
[tense music playing]
498
00:18:13,827 --> 00:18:14,992
all right.
I got some treats,
499
00:18:15,028 --> 00:18:16,928
I have a crate and blanket.
500
00:18:16,963 --> 00:18:19,530
You've already seen it?
501
00:18:19,566 --> 00:18:21,232
Oh, I see her,
she's standing up.
502
00:18:21,267 --> 00:18:22,867
-[elise] oh.
-[mariah] go on that side.
503
00:18:22,902 --> 00:18:24,368
Hi.
504
00:18:24,404 --> 00:18:26,204
Oh, my god.
505
00:18:26,239 --> 00:18:27,672
[elise] she's so cute.
506
00:18:27,707 --> 00:18:31,008
[mariah] the dog was already
up and wagging her tail.
507
00:18:31,044 --> 00:18:33,177
Immediately it was relief.
508
00:18:33,213 --> 00:18:36,013
[elise] she's so cute.
509
00:18:36,049 --> 00:18:37,415
I know. I don't...
510
00:18:37,450 --> 00:18:41,185
When I walked over there,
I thought I was gonna die.
511
00:18:41,221 --> 00:18:45,223
[mariah] oh, my god.
512
00:18:46,392 --> 00:18:48,226
-Your leg is bad.
-[elise]
look at her leg though.
513
00:18:48,261 --> 00:18:49,460
[mariah] hang on,
I gotta put blankets
514
00:18:49,496 --> 00:18:51,162
in first, hang on. Okay.
515
00:18:51,197 --> 00:18:52,563
Oh, my god.
Her leg is swollen.
516
00:18:52,599 --> 00:18:53,898
-Let me put the blankets in...
-It's so bad.
517
00:18:53,933 --> 00:18:55,133
[mariah]
...And then we'll get her in.
518
00:18:55,168 --> 00:18:56,834
-Yes, hi sweetie
-[mariah] that is... Oh.
519
00:18:56,870 --> 00:18:58,703
It looked like the dog's
actual shoulder
520
00:18:58,738 --> 00:19:00,872
was extremely swollen
and she wouldn't even put
521
00:19:00,907 --> 00:19:03,708
-it down on the ground.
-[elise] her leg is so bad.
522
00:19:03,743 --> 00:19:04,976
[mariah] she's really,
really young
523
00:19:05,011 --> 00:19:07,678
and her demeanor
was extremely friendly.
524
00:19:07,714 --> 00:19:09,747
She wanted to have us
be around her
525
00:19:09,782 --> 00:19:11,048
and get attention,
526
00:19:11,084 --> 00:19:13,451
but the dog
wasn't feeling well.
527
00:19:13,486 --> 00:19:15,386
This crate's
gonna be too hard.
528
00:19:15,421 --> 00:19:17,522
-[elise] do we even need this?
-I'm just gonna put
her on my backseat.
529
00:19:17,557 --> 00:19:19,590
Okay.
I got you, okay?
530
00:19:19,626 --> 00:19:21,993
Can you let me do this?
531
00:19:22,028 --> 00:19:23,628
All right. Okay.
532
00:19:23,663 --> 00:19:25,229
[mariah] come here,
my little muffin.
533
00:19:26,866 --> 00:19:28,566
-I'm obsessed with this thing.
-[elise] oh my god,
she's cute.
534
00:19:28,601 --> 00:19:29,901
[mariah] oh, her poor leg.
535
00:19:29,936 --> 00:19:31,636
[elise] okay, okay.
Oh, your poor leg.
536
00:19:31,671 --> 00:19:33,137
Oh, you're wagging
your tail.
537
00:19:33,173 --> 00:19:35,306
-[mariah] oh.
-[elise] did you get bit?
538
00:19:35,341 --> 00:19:36,774
Is that what...
I wonder if she got...
539
00:19:36,809 --> 00:19:38,409
-[mariah] she may have.
-[elise] that's a dog bite.
540
00:19:38,444 --> 00:19:39,777
[mariah] there was
a little bit of a wound
541
00:19:39,812 --> 00:19:41,879
that looked old.
That could've been a dog bite,
542
00:19:41,915 --> 00:19:43,748
but at this point,
we have no idea.
543
00:19:43,783 --> 00:19:45,249
-[elise] you're perfect.
-[mariah] hi.
544
00:19:45,285 --> 00:19:46,951
[elise] somebody's
missing this, though.
545
00:19:46,986 --> 00:19:48,252
I mean, look at her.
546
00:19:48,288 --> 00:19:49,520
[mariah] the rest
of her body seemed
547
00:19:49,556 --> 00:19:51,522
really, really healthy.
Her skin looked great,
548
00:19:51,558 --> 00:19:52,990
her weight was great.
549
00:19:53,026 --> 00:19:56,460
It looks like she just
got loose from an owner.
550
00:19:56,496 --> 00:19:58,429
Okay, let's go to the vet,
her leg is bad.
551
00:19:58,464 --> 00:19:59,564
[elise]
let me know what they say.
552
00:19:59,599 --> 00:20:00,765
Okay.
553
00:20:03,536 --> 00:20:06,170
We tried to see
if anyone recognized the dog
554
00:20:06,206 --> 00:20:09,040
and no one
around the neighborhood did.
555
00:20:09,075 --> 00:20:11,609
Hi. How are you feeling?
556
00:20:11,644 --> 00:20:13,978
Oh, your tail is wagging.
557
00:20:14,013 --> 00:20:16,080
Us getting her
and getting her to the vet
558
00:20:16,115 --> 00:20:17,448
was extremely important.
559
00:20:17,483 --> 00:20:19,784
I'm hoping it's nothing
extremely bad
560
00:20:19,819 --> 00:20:22,587
and there was nothing
internal going on with her.
561
00:20:22,655 --> 00:20:24,222
You wanna snooze, don't you?
562
00:20:24,257 --> 00:20:25,489
Okay. Go back to bed.
563
00:20:25,525 --> 00:20:27,592
Because of covid,
we can't go in the vet
564
00:20:27,627 --> 00:20:29,026
so we just have
to drop her off
565
00:20:29,062 --> 00:20:30,294
and wait for the vet
to call us
566
00:20:30,330 --> 00:20:32,930
and tell us what's going on.
567
00:20:32,966 --> 00:20:35,333
It's her front left paw
or her front left shoulder.
568
00:20:35,368 --> 00:20:36,400
-[woman] okay.
-Hey, mama.
569
00:20:36,436 --> 00:20:37,835
[mariah]
she won't put it down at all.
570
00:20:37,870 --> 00:20:39,337
-[woman] baby.
-[mariah] come here, my love.
571
00:20:39,372 --> 00:20:41,072
Come on.
You got her?
572
00:20:41,107 --> 00:20:42,340
-[woman] okay.
-[mariah] thank you,
573
00:20:42,375 --> 00:20:43,741
just call heidi
and let her know
574
00:20:43,776 --> 00:20:44,775
what happens with it, I guess.
575
00:20:44,811 --> 00:20:45,710
[woman] okay, we will.
576
00:20:45,745 --> 00:20:46,777
[mariah]
thank you. I love you.
577
00:20:46,813 --> 00:20:48,079
-[woman] thank you.
-Oh.
578
00:20:48,114 --> 00:20:50,014
[mariah] no matter what,
when we bring a dog in
579
00:20:50,049 --> 00:20:51,616
that we have rescued,
they immediately scan them
580
00:20:51,651 --> 00:20:53,651
for microchip
and if she does have one
581
00:20:53,686 --> 00:20:56,721
then we will hopefully try
and find the owner.
582
00:21:01,828 --> 00:21:04,829
[upbeat music playing]
583
00:21:14,707 --> 00:21:17,408
-[lauren speaking]
-hey, how are you?
584
00:21:17,443 --> 00:21:18,643
[lauren speaking]
585
00:21:18,678 --> 00:21:20,745
kanani and I recently did
a meet and greet
586
00:21:20,780 --> 00:21:21,979
with a family from florida.
587
00:21:22,015 --> 00:21:24,015
-Hi, guys.
-[family] hi.
588
00:21:24,083 --> 00:21:25,483
[mariah] and their black lab,
princess.
589
00:21:25,518 --> 00:21:26,617
Are you nervous?
590
00:21:26,653 --> 00:21:28,252
Are you ready to meet
a friend?
591
00:21:28,288 --> 00:21:31,722
The mother, lauren,
really bonded with kila.
592
00:21:31,758 --> 00:21:33,958
There's a little girl
just like you.
593
00:21:33,993 --> 00:21:36,527
Say, hi. Good girl.
594
00:21:36,562 --> 00:21:38,763
But the husband and daughter
595
00:21:38,798 --> 00:21:40,964
really were interested
in pleagle.
596
00:21:40,967 --> 00:21:43,100
She really seems like
she's interested in him.
597
00:21:43,136 --> 00:21:44,135
[trysta] yeah.
598
00:21:44,170 --> 00:21:47,071
You guys
made your mind up yet?
599
00:21:47,106 --> 00:21:49,040
[lauren speaking]
600
00:21:49,075 --> 00:21:52,076
[gasps] yay, I'm so excited.
601
00:21:52,111 --> 00:21:54,679
I was hoping you guys
were gonna pick him.
602
00:21:54,714 --> 00:21:57,882
[lauren speaking]
603
00:21:57,917 --> 00:21:59,984
so I'm... I guess
the daughter and husband
604
00:22:00,019 --> 00:22:02,219
convinced you, huh?
605
00:22:02,255 --> 00:22:03,854
[lauren speaking]
606
00:22:03,890 --> 00:22:06,290
[mariah] I think pleagle
is perfect for this family
607
00:22:06,326 --> 00:22:08,459
because him and princess
got along really well.
608
00:22:08,494 --> 00:22:10,494
Well, I hope
you're just as excited.
609
00:22:10,530 --> 00:22:12,596
I'm very excited.
610
00:22:12,632 --> 00:22:14,031
[lauren speaking]
611
00:22:14,067 --> 00:22:16,300
[mariah] and princess
is a very confident dog.
612
00:22:16,336 --> 00:22:18,602
With pleagle being shy
sometimes,
613
00:22:18,638 --> 00:22:21,238
I think he's really gonna do
really well with her.
614
00:22:21,274 --> 00:22:23,007
I'm gonna work with him
a little bit
615
00:22:23,042 --> 00:22:26,243
and just get him pretty used
to the water
616
00:22:26,279 --> 00:22:28,579
and, kinda, make sure that
he'll be good to go
617
00:22:28,614 --> 00:22:30,181
in the pool with you guys.
618
00:22:30,216 --> 00:22:33,317
So, now that the family
has chosen pleagle,
619
00:22:33,353 --> 00:22:35,186
we're gonna go ahead
and test pleagle around a pool
620
00:22:35,221 --> 00:22:36,721
and just see how he does
621
00:22:36,756 --> 00:22:38,489
because eventually the family
would love for him
622
00:22:38,524 --> 00:22:40,191
to hang out by the pool
with them as well.
623
00:22:40,226 --> 00:22:41,692
All righty. Bye-bye.
624
00:22:41,728 --> 00:22:43,794
-[lauren speaking]
-bye.
625
00:22:49,035 --> 00:22:52,036
[upbeat music playing]
626
00:23:00,046 --> 00:23:01,379
it's good?
627
00:23:01,414 --> 00:23:02,747
You like it?
628
00:23:07,620 --> 00:23:11,922
[tia] watching lizzy juggle
the work at the rescue
629
00:23:11,958 --> 00:23:13,290
and then having
the two kids...
630
00:23:13,326 --> 00:23:15,826
I mean, I think she defines
the word supermom.
631
00:23:15,862 --> 00:23:18,229
[phone rings]
632
00:23:18,264 --> 00:23:20,464
[tia] lizzy,
are you at work right now?
633
00:23:20,500 --> 00:23:21,966
No, I'm at my house.
634
00:23:22,001 --> 00:23:24,235
I'm just updating Monday
right now.
635
00:23:24,270 --> 00:23:25,836
[tia] lizzy wears
several hats,
636
00:23:25,872 --> 00:23:27,204
but the two main ones
637
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,440
is she has now learned
on the job.
638
00:23:29,475 --> 00:23:30,841
She's like a vet tech.
639
00:23:30,877 --> 00:23:33,310
And then we're still gonna do
the meeting at 3:00 today.
640
00:23:33,346 --> 00:23:35,813
I have to be able
to give adopters dates.
641
00:23:35,848 --> 00:23:38,349
[tia] but to add to that,
she now handles
642
00:23:38,384 --> 00:23:40,317
all of our adoption
applications.
643
00:23:40,353 --> 00:23:42,820
Is now a good time to talk
more about your application
644
00:23:42,855 --> 00:23:44,321
or do you wanna schedule
a time?
645
00:23:44,357 --> 00:23:47,591
[tia] so, she's the one that
screens the applications
646
00:23:47,627 --> 00:23:51,295
and helps match dogs up
with the right families.
647
00:23:51,330 --> 00:23:53,230
-You said, mama?
-[tia] yeah.
648
00:23:53,266 --> 00:23:54,932
All right. Well, I'm waiting
for an adopter
649
00:23:54,967 --> 00:23:56,901
to call me back.
I don't wanna miss her calls.
650
00:23:56,936 --> 00:23:58,669
Okay, hang on a second.
651
00:23:58,704 --> 00:24:01,439
[tia] so just to see lizzy
juggling all this stuff,
652
00:24:01,474 --> 00:24:03,574
juggling all the dogs...
653
00:24:06,212 --> 00:24:07,812
Major kudos.
654
00:24:07,847 --> 00:24:09,146
Hello, strangers.
655
00:24:09,182 --> 00:24:10,881
It can be really difficult
for me
656
00:24:10,917 --> 00:24:14,652
to physically be at work
with the two kids.
657
00:24:16,155 --> 00:24:18,856
I'm usually pretty busy
when I come into the rescue.
658
00:24:18,891 --> 00:24:20,191
There's like dogs
that need mud baths,
659
00:24:20,226 --> 00:24:21,625
they have to have them
regularly.
660
00:24:21,661 --> 00:24:23,427
A lot of times
I work from home
661
00:24:23,463 --> 00:24:24,829
and so when I can
physically be there,
662
00:24:24,864 --> 00:24:27,231
I have like a list of things
that I have to get done.
663
00:24:27,266 --> 00:24:28,666
And I just have
to get through them
664
00:24:28,701 --> 00:24:29,867
as quickly as possible.
665
00:24:29,902 --> 00:24:31,302
-Um...
-[tia] okay.
666
00:24:31,337 --> 00:24:32,937
[lizzy] I was like a mess
for an hour.
667
00:24:32,972 --> 00:24:34,138
But this is an off day,
668
00:24:34,173 --> 00:24:35,573
[lizzy] where, like,
I have a lot of anxiety
669
00:24:35,608 --> 00:24:36,907
-before the home check.
-[tia] mmm-hmm.
670
00:24:36,943 --> 00:24:38,909
-Like...
-[tia] yeah.
671
00:24:38,945 --> 00:24:40,778
[lizzy]
there are certain dogs that
672
00:24:40,813 --> 00:24:43,080
are really important
for me to discuss with tia
673
00:24:43,115 --> 00:24:45,216
when I'm working
on an adoption for them.
674
00:24:45,251 --> 00:24:49,053
If you want to, like,
run each adoption by me, um...
675
00:24:49,088 --> 00:24:52,389
Well, good, because I actually
have an application for roan.
676
00:24:52,425 --> 00:24:53,958
Oh, my gosh.
677
00:24:53,993 --> 00:24:56,627
[lizzy] so, recently a lovely
couple put an application
678
00:24:56,662 --> 00:24:58,629
for a dog named roan.
679
00:24:58,664 --> 00:25:00,331
Okay.
Well, this I gotta hear
680
00:25:00,366 --> 00:25:02,266
because I can tell you exactly
681
00:25:02,301 --> 00:25:05,269
what he needs
and does not need.
682
00:25:05,304 --> 00:25:07,137
What do you think, old man?
683
00:25:07,173 --> 00:25:09,773
Roan is a redtick coonhound
684
00:25:09,809 --> 00:25:13,911
that I rescued
out of the state of alabama.
685
00:25:13,946 --> 00:25:15,746
So, besides him
being emaciated,
686
00:25:15,781 --> 00:25:18,449
he was itching
like non-stop but, uh...
687
00:25:18,484 --> 00:25:20,150
[earl]
yeah, I'll go see his skin.
688
00:25:20,186 --> 00:25:21,752
So, what,
he need to go to the vet?
689
00:25:21,787 --> 00:25:22,820
[tia]
yeah. They need to just do
690
00:25:22,855 --> 00:25:24,455
a full workup on him.
691
00:25:24,490 --> 00:25:26,023
Somebody posted his picture
692
00:25:26,058 --> 00:25:28,359
on our facebook page
and said,
693
00:25:28,394 --> 00:25:30,127
"you know, basically,
do you think tia
694
00:25:30,162 --> 00:25:31,495
would take this dog?"
695
00:25:31,531 --> 00:25:34,365
he wandered up to our house,
out of the woods,
696
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,601
and he's old,
and emaciated,
697
00:25:37,637 --> 00:25:40,337
like he was in sad shape.
698
00:25:40,373 --> 00:25:44,441
[woman] oh, he's got
a little growth back here.
699
00:25:44,477 --> 00:25:45,843
-[groans]
-[dog whining]
700
00:25:45,878 --> 00:25:47,578
oh, buddy. It's okay.
I know. I'm sorry.
701
00:25:47,613 --> 00:25:48,913
[earl]
you're all right, buddy.
702
00:25:48,948 --> 00:25:50,414
-You're doing good.
-[man] mmm-hmm.
703
00:25:50,449 --> 00:25:51,882
I'm gonna send these
to the lab
704
00:25:51,918 --> 00:25:53,150
and they're gonna tell me
what this...
705
00:25:53,185 --> 00:25:55,219
Hopefully,
tell me what this is.
706
00:25:55,254 --> 00:25:56,287
[woman]
hi, how are you doing?
707
00:25:56,322 --> 00:25:57,354
[tia] hi.
708
00:25:57,390 --> 00:25:59,123
[woman]
so, last time he was in,
709
00:25:59,158 --> 00:26:01,358
um, we did take a sample
of the mass.
710
00:26:01,394 --> 00:26:04,295
-[tia] right.
-It is suggestive of cancer.
711
00:26:04,330 --> 00:26:07,064
And I think his load
of heartworms is high.
712
00:26:07,099 --> 00:26:09,934
[tia] we were told
he was extremely sick.
713
00:26:09,969 --> 00:26:12,570
And he was very heavy
heartworm positive.
714
00:26:12,605 --> 00:26:14,538
His heart was enlarged.
715
00:26:14,574 --> 00:26:16,373
His heart was weak.
716
00:26:16,409 --> 00:26:18,809
It was more
of a hospice situation.
717
00:26:18,844 --> 00:26:20,377
[woman speaking]
718
00:26:20,413 --> 00:26:21,745
okay.
719
00:26:21,781 --> 00:26:24,782
[woman speaking]
720
00:26:31,457 --> 00:26:32,423
right.
721
00:26:32,458 --> 00:26:35,359
[woman speaking]
722
00:26:35,394 --> 00:26:36,894
oh. Oh, my gosh.
723
00:26:36,929 --> 00:26:38,295
[laughs] okay.
724
00:26:38,331 --> 00:26:41,332
[woman speaking]
725
00:26:44,203 --> 00:26:46,437
[tia] yay!
726
00:26:46,472 --> 00:26:47,771
I just talked to them
yesterday.
727
00:26:47,807 --> 00:26:49,673
I really, really like them.
728
00:26:49,709 --> 00:26:50,975
What's the... What...
Where do they live?
729
00:26:51,010 --> 00:26:53,143
[lizzy] they live in illinois
730
00:26:53,179 --> 00:26:54,845
which we have to do a trip
to illinois.
731
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,481
So, they are hound people.
732
00:26:57,516 --> 00:26:58,649
Okay.
Do they have any dogs now?
733
00:26:58,684 --> 00:27:00,150
-They don't... No dogs.
-Okay. That's a start
734
00:27:00,186 --> 00:27:01,418
because he doesn't like
other dogs.
735
00:27:01,454 --> 00:27:02,720
Okay. Good to know
because they were...
736
00:27:02,755 --> 00:27:03,721
That was one of the questions
737
00:27:03,756 --> 00:27:04,955
and I said
I don't know that dog...
738
00:27:04,991 --> 00:27:06,557
-[tia] yeah, he doesn't.
-...Well enough to answer.
739
00:27:06,592 --> 00:27:07,791
[tia] he tolerates
lucky and jethro.
740
00:27:07,827 --> 00:27:09,627
Okay.
741
00:27:09,662 --> 00:27:11,829
[tia] roan is just
a good old boy.
742
00:27:11,864 --> 00:27:16,600
He's just like this
old unassuming hound dog who,
743
00:27:16,636 --> 00:27:19,436
you know, fought to stay
alive all these years,
744
00:27:19,472 --> 00:27:21,572
so sweet
745
00:27:21,607 --> 00:27:24,942
and just so grateful.
746
00:27:24,977 --> 00:27:26,310
This is probably the last...
747
00:27:26,345 --> 00:27:27,711
The only chance
he's ever gonna get
748
00:27:27,747 --> 00:27:29,446
because no one's
ever applied for him
749
00:27:29,482 --> 00:27:30,814
for all these reasons.
750
00:27:30,850 --> 00:27:33,217
So, this is probably it.
751
00:27:33,252 --> 00:27:35,185
It's either this or never.
752
00:27:35,221 --> 00:27:39,023
Oh, my god. Let's get roan
out of here, like, asap.
753
00:27:39,058 --> 00:27:40,157
Well, I'll follow up with them
754
00:27:40,192 --> 00:27:41,625
and let them know
everything you told me
755
00:27:41,661 --> 00:27:43,994
about him but them...
It's their top choice.
756
00:27:44,030 --> 00:27:47,431
So, I will give
tony and connie a call
757
00:27:47,466 --> 00:27:49,967
and hopefully
they wanna move forward.
758
00:27:50,002 --> 00:27:51,702
Why did I become
the hound person?
759
00:27:51,737 --> 00:27:53,437
I don't...
760
00:27:53,472 --> 00:27:54,838
Would you like
some bloodhounds?
761
00:27:54,874 --> 00:27:56,240
[lizzy] no.
762
00:27:56,275 --> 00:27:58,375
I mean, yes but no.
763
00:27:58,411 --> 00:28:01,478
[dramatic music playing]
764
00:28:08,721 --> 00:28:11,055
[mariah] recently,
elise and I rescued a dog
765
00:28:11,090 --> 00:28:12,656
that we named peeve.
766
00:28:12,692 --> 00:28:14,391
[elise] her leg is so bad.
767
00:28:14,427 --> 00:28:16,493
[mariah] when elise and I
were loading her up
768
00:28:16,529 --> 00:28:17,661
in the back of my car,
769
00:28:17,697 --> 00:28:19,630
elise said my pet peeve,
770
00:28:19,665 --> 00:28:21,965
just, kinda, stuck
and I thought it was cute.
771
00:28:22,034 --> 00:28:22,966
I'm obsessed with this thing.
772
00:28:23,002 --> 00:28:24,101
[elise]
oh, my god. She's so cute.
773
00:28:24,136 --> 00:28:26,570
[mariah] oh, her poor leg.
774
00:28:26,605 --> 00:28:28,472
We realized that peeve
had a microchip
775
00:28:28,507 --> 00:28:32,242
and I got the phone number
that was attached to it.
776
00:28:32,278 --> 00:28:35,279
[phone ringing]
777
00:28:40,753 --> 00:28:42,052
[tia]
have you been around dogs?
778
00:28:42,088 --> 00:28:43,821
-[spencer] mmm-hmm. Yeah.
-[tia] oh, have you? Okay.
779
00:28:43,856 --> 00:28:45,322
-[spencer] my whole life.
-[tia] spencer...
780
00:28:45,357 --> 00:28:46,390
He's a good kid.
781
00:28:46,459 --> 00:28:47,925
You're having a baby.
782
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,326
Yeah, I'm having a baby.
783
00:28:49,361 --> 00:28:51,195
It's very important for me
to show my son,
784
00:28:51,230 --> 00:28:52,296
you know, the right way
785
00:28:52,331 --> 00:28:55,733
'cause I chose the wrong way.
786
00:28:55,768 --> 00:28:58,335
So I'm just calling you
with an update on roan.
787
00:28:58,370 --> 00:29:01,505
He just had a follow up
vet appointment.
788
00:29:01,540 --> 00:29:02,773
I'm a little bit nervous
789
00:29:02,842 --> 00:29:04,808
that connie may not
wanna move forward
790
00:29:04,844 --> 00:29:06,076
with adopting roan.
791
00:29:06,112 --> 00:29:07,911
Do you want some time
to think about it,
792
00:29:07,947 --> 00:29:09,780
how are you feeling?
793
00:29:09,815 --> 00:29:11,014
[woman] um...
794
00:29:12,651 --> 00:29:14,818
[dramatic music playing]
795
00:29:18,324 --> 00:29:20,624
[phone ringing]
796
00:29:20,659 --> 00:29:21,959
[mariah]
peeve was microchipped.
797
00:29:21,994 --> 00:29:25,662
I tried calling the number
on the microchip.
798
00:29:25,698 --> 00:29:29,933
[woman speaking]
799
00:29:29,969 --> 00:29:31,535
and it was disconnected.
800
00:29:31,570 --> 00:29:32,903
Oh, that number didn't work.
801
00:29:32,938 --> 00:29:34,438
[phone ringing]
802
00:29:34,473 --> 00:29:35,773
[mariah]
and so I called heidi
803
00:29:35,808 --> 00:29:37,374
and told her
just to go through
804
00:29:37,409 --> 00:29:38,675
with the medical
805
00:29:38,711 --> 00:29:41,478
and start getting peeve
on the healing path.
806
00:29:41,514 --> 00:29:44,481
-[heidi speaking]
-the number's disconnected.
807
00:29:44,517 --> 00:29:45,749
Um...
808
00:29:45,785 --> 00:29:46,984
[heidi speaking]
809
00:29:47,019 --> 00:29:48,485
so, you're gonna have them
go ahead and look at
810
00:29:48,521 --> 00:29:49,319
or do the x-ray.
811
00:29:49,355 --> 00:29:52,356
[heidi speaking]
812
00:29:58,297 --> 00:29:59,396
oh, they do? Okay.
813
00:29:59,431 --> 00:30:02,399
[heidi speaking]
814
00:30:05,237 --> 00:30:07,237
okay. Well, at least
do the x-ray
815
00:30:07,273 --> 00:30:08,906
and I'll see if I can come up
with anything else.
816
00:30:08,941 --> 00:30:09,940
If I find her on, like,
817
00:30:09,975 --> 00:30:11,108
lost and found pets
or something.
818
00:30:11,143 --> 00:30:13,143
Okay.
Yeah, I'll look right now.
819
00:30:18,217 --> 00:30:21,218
[country music playing]
820
00:30:23,956 --> 00:30:25,389
[tia] buddy.
821
00:30:25,424 --> 00:30:27,558
Bud, it's been so long.
822
00:30:27,593 --> 00:30:29,359
[laughs] he's so goofy.
823
00:30:29,395 --> 00:30:30,761
[tia] let me come over here.
824
00:30:30,796 --> 00:30:32,229
Look at you.
825
00:30:32,264 --> 00:30:33,263
You're so great now.
826
00:30:33,332 --> 00:30:35,666
I haven't seen you
in so long.
827
00:30:35,701 --> 00:30:39,736
Cherokee is one
of our california dogs.
828
00:30:39,772 --> 00:30:43,340
He's been with us forever,
829
00:30:43,375 --> 00:30:46,944
probably 13, 14 years old.
830
00:30:46,979 --> 00:30:49,346
He was pretty spicy
in his younger years,
831
00:30:49,381 --> 00:30:51,982
you know, when it came
to other dogs,
832
00:30:52,017 --> 00:30:53,917
you know, he was just
a lot of dog.
833
00:30:53,953 --> 00:30:56,453
And being like a pit mix,
834
00:30:56,488 --> 00:30:58,822
you know,
he just got passed up.
835
00:30:58,858 --> 00:31:00,958
[lizzy] well, um...
836
00:31:00,993 --> 00:31:04,394
I've like fallen in love
with senior cherokee
837
00:31:04,430 --> 00:31:06,463
and he, kinda, reminds me
of jack a little bit.
838
00:31:06,498 --> 00:31:08,131
Yeah, he does.
839
00:31:08,167 --> 00:31:11,935
[lizzy] in a lot of ways,
he reminded me of our dog,
840
00:31:11,971 --> 00:31:14,738
jack who passed away
a few years ago,
841
00:31:14,773 --> 00:31:17,140
just something
about his spirit.
842
00:31:17,176 --> 00:31:19,710
Not even just the brindle,
but like his tough attitude
843
00:31:19,745 --> 00:31:22,412
like he's, like,
not wanting to slow down.
844
00:31:22,481 --> 00:31:23,680
Knowing he didn't get
the memo.
845
00:31:23,716 --> 00:31:25,515
[lizzy] no. And just like
the way he acts,
846
00:31:25,551 --> 00:31:26,917
he reminds me of jack.
847
00:31:26,952 --> 00:31:28,185
I was like, "oh, my god.
848
00:31:28,220 --> 00:31:29,987
I feel like
he's supposed to be my dog."
849
00:31:30,022 --> 00:31:31,622
so I wanna take him home.
850
00:31:31,657 --> 00:31:33,523
Oh!
851
00:31:33,559 --> 00:31:36,326
You wanna go live
at the house?
852
00:31:36,362 --> 00:31:37,194
Oh.
853
00:31:37,229 --> 00:31:39,029
The california dogs,
854
00:31:39,064 --> 00:31:43,667
you know, they'd been with us
for such a long time
855
00:31:43,702 --> 00:31:46,470
and it's just
a long time coming
856
00:31:46,505 --> 00:31:49,873
for these dogs to have
a happily ever after ending.
857
00:31:49,909 --> 00:31:52,109
When he sees other dogs
and stuff, he's...
858
00:31:52,144 --> 00:31:53,277
-He doesn't care.
-Oh.
859
00:31:53,312 --> 00:31:55,045
He was great with them,
which is so funny
860
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:56,179
because I know
when he was younger,
861
00:31:56,215 --> 00:31:57,180
he was not good
with anything.
862
00:31:57,216 --> 00:31:58,382
Oh, he was a... Yeah.
863
00:31:58,417 --> 00:31:59,449
[lizzy]
and if you look at his...
864
00:31:59,485 --> 00:32:00,918
If you look him
on the website,
865
00:32:00,953 --> 00:32:02,853
it's like,
no dogs, no kids,
866
00:32:02,888 --> 00:32:04,655
and like just basically like
a bad boy.
867
00:32:04,690 --> 00:32:06,456
-I know.
-He's so good.
868
00:32:06,492 --> 00:32:07,958
[tia] unfortunately,
it takes them
869
00:32:07,993 --> 00:32:09,092
getting into their
golden years
870
00:32:09,128 --> 00:32:12,529
for them to slow down
and be manageable.
871
00:32:12,564 --> 00:32:16,934
And lizzy is definitely
one of several people
872
00:32:16,969 --> 00:32:19,303
with villalobos that loves
the senior dogs
873
00:32:19,338 --> 00:32:20,737
and she wants
to take care of them
874
00:32:20,773 --> 00:32:24,775
until their time comes
and I applaud her for that.
875
00:32:24,810 --> 00:32:26,310
Oh, buddy.
876
00:32:26,345 --> 00:32:28,178
[lizzy] he just, like,
lives in a state of bliss.
877
00:32:28,213 --> 00:32:30,280
Oh, cher, cher.
878
00:32:30,316 --> 00:32:31,748
[lizzy]
I'm going to talk to moe
879
00:32:31,784 --> 00:32:34,918
about the possibility
of bringing cherokee
880
00:32:34,954 --> 00:32:36,353
to our house
and into our family.
881
00:32:36,388 --> 00:32:38,722
You know, we make decisions
together as a family
882
00:32:38,757 --> 00:32:41,692
and he needs to be
100% onboard
883
00:32:41,727 --> 00:32:43,493
with bringing cherokee home.
884
00:32:43,529 --> 00:32:45,629
-His tail hasn't stopped.
-It hasn't stopped.
885
00:32:45,664 --> 00:32:46,730
Moe has to say yes.
886
00:32:46,765 --> 00:32:48,265
[tia] yeah. Cute.
887
00:32:48,300 --> 00:32:49,866
Cute, cute, cute.
888
00:32:51,070 --> 00:32:54,071
[upbeat music playing]
889
00:32:56,308 --> 00:32:58,308
[dog barking]
890
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,513
[tia]
spencer, he's a good kid.
891
00:33:03,549 --> 00:33:04,948
He's got a good heart.
892
00:33:04,984 --> 00:33:06,083
You feel it.
893
00:33:06,118 --> 00:33:07,851
I felt it when I met earl.
894
00:33:07,886 --> 00:33:10,487
I felt it when I met toney.
895
00:33:10,522 --> 00:33:12,689
And I definitely felt it
when I met spencer.
896
00:33:12,725 --> 00:33:14,491
-Have you been around dogs?
-[spencer] mmm-hmm. Yeah.
897
00:33:14,526 --> 00:33:15,926
-[tia] oh, have you? Okay.
-My whole life.
898
00:33:15,961 --> 00:33:16,994
[tia] oh, have you? Good.
899
00:33:17,029 --> 00:33:18,295
I have pets my whole life.
900
00:33:18,330 --> 00:33:19,429
[tia] okay.
901
00:33:19,465 --> 00:33:22,299
Spencer went into prison
a child.
902
00:33:22,334 --> 00:33:24,301
He did some time.
903
00:33:24,336 --> 00:33:26,903
[spencer] I found out
I'm about to be a dad.
904
00:33:26,939 --> 00:33:27,904
What?
905
00:33:27,940 --> 00:33:29,539
You're having a baby.
906
00:33:29,575 --> 00:33:30,941
Yeah, I'm having a baby.
907
00:33:30,976 --> 00:33:33,777
[tia] so, when I heard
spencer was having a baby,
908
00:33:33,812 --> 00:33:37,114
you know, my first question
to him was,
909
00:33:37,149 --> 00:33:38,548
"are you okay with this?"
910
00:33:38,584 --> 00:33:40,784
[spencer] oh.
911
00:33:40,819 --> 00:33:42,486
-[earl] come on.
-[spencer] come on, big bro.
912
00:33:42,521 --> 00:33:44,454
[tia] so I'm like,
"are you gonna be able
913
00:33:44,490 --> 00:33:46,056
to handle this?"
and he was like,
914
00:33:46,091 --> 00:33:51,762
"I'm so happy."
I'm like, "oh. Okay."
915
00:33:51,797 --> 00:33:53,430
[spencer] oh.
916
00:33:53,465 --> 00:33:56,166
Yeah. Let me get you.
Let me pick you up.
917
00:33:56,201 --> 00:33:59,202
Yeah. Yeah. All right.
All right. All right.
918
00:33:59,238 --> 00:34:00,971
It's been smooth sailing
ever since.
919
00:34:01,006 --> 00:34:04,841
He's just so happy
and proud to be a dad.
920
00:34:04,877 --> 00:34:06,810
Yeah.
921
00:34:06,845 --> 00:34:10,447
It's been a rollercoaster
having a newborn, I mean,
922
00:34:10,449 --> 00:34:12,983
I didn't know what I was,
you know, up against
923
00:34:13,018 --> 00:34:15,685
and then, you know,
them sleepless nights.
924
00:34:15,721 --> 00:34:19,456
[baby crying]
925
00:34:19,491 --> 00:34:21,358
sir, I got you.
926
00:34:21,393 --> 00:34:23,160
I mean,
this is my first experience
927
00:34:23,195 --> 00:34:26,463
but I love every inch of her.
928
00:34:26,498 --> 00:34:28,031
[sari] is you happy?
929
00:34:28,067 --> 00:34:30,000
Yeah. I know.
930
00:34:30,035 --> 00:34:32,502
I know.
931
00:34:32,538 --> 00:34:33,770
[spencer] me and sari,
932
00:34:33,806 --> 00:34:35,372
we met through
mutual friends,
933
00:34:35,407 --> 00:34:37,474
like I've been knowing her
since she was 14
934
00:34:37,509 --> 00:34:40,877
and she's 25 now,
so we have history.
935
00:34:40,913 --> 00:34:43,480
It's just
we never took that step.
936
00:34:43,515 --> 00:34:45,015
That's funny.
937
00:34:45,050 --> 00:34:47,150
I know that's funny.
938
00:34:47,186 --> 00:34:48,785
[spencer] me and sari,
we was talking
939
00:34:48,821 --> 00:34:50,253
before I had went back
to prison.
940
00:34:50,289 --> 00:34:53,857
It was like, we had just got
back in touch with each other
941
00:34:53,892 --> 00:34:56,393
and we was conversating
and it was like, sadly,
942
00:34:56,428 --> 00:34:57,928
I just... I [indistinct]
and went back to jail
943
00:34:57,963 --> 00:34:59,162
and she didn't know
what was going on.
944
00:34:59,198 --> 00:35:00,997
She contacted my mom.
945
00:35:01,033 --> 00:35:02,699
She was trying to see
where I've been at.
946
00:35:02,734 --> 00:35:05,235
And then, she told my mom
to tell me to call her.
947
00:35:05,270 --> 00:35:07,404
And that's when I called her
and she sent me pictures
948
00:35:07,439 --> 00:35:08,905
and we wrote each other.
949
00:35:08,941 --> 00:35:10,841
Then I did told her,
like, when I get out,
950
00:35:10,876 --> 00:35:12,342
I wanna be with you
and, you know,
951
00:35:12,377 --> 00:35:14,244
like have a family.
952
00:35:14,279 --> 00:35:17,314
And when I got out of jail,
she came visit me,
953
00:35:17,349 --> 00:35:21,218
and it was love at first sight
all over again.
954
00:35:21,253 --> 00:35:23,520
Michaela, who is this?
955
00:35:23,555 --> 00:35:24,688
[michaela] baby.
956
00:35:24,723 --> 00:35:25,922
[sari] who is this?
957
00:35:25,958 --> 00:35:27,757
-[michaela] daddy...
-Who is this?
958
00:35:27,793 --> 00:35:29,626
-[michaela mumbles]
-no. Who is that?
959
00:35:29,661 --> 00:35:30,961
-[michaela mumbles]
-no.
960
00:35:30,996 --> 00:35:32,596
-Who is this?
-No. Who is he?
961
00:35:32,631 --> 00:35:34,764
He.
962
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:35,866
What's his name?
963
00:35:35,901 --> 00:35:38,368
[mumble]
964
00:35:38,403 --> 00:35:39,803
what's your name?
965
00:35:39,838 --> 00:35:42,139
-Me?
-Yeah, you.
966
00:35:42,174 --> 00:35:43,940
[spencer] it's a blast
being a parent with her
967
00:35:43,976 --> 00:35:45,775
'cause, you know,
she has two other kids.
968
00:35:45,811 --> 00:35:47,377
At first, I was just like,
969
00:35:47,412 --> 00:35:49,312
"well, I gotta,
you know, man up more
970
00:35:49,348 --> 00:35:51,615
'cause this is more
responsibilities on me."
971
00:35:51,650 --> 00:35:53,717
and like, you know,
after a while,
972
00:35:53,752 --> 00:35:55,919
I was just like, "well,
these are my kids too."
973
00:35:55,954 --> 00:35:58,388
they add another little spark
in my life, too.
974
00:35:58,423 --> 00:35:59,656
They even feel when I'm down,
975
00:35:59,691 --> 00:36:01,124
they always ask me
am I all right
976
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,360
and they come give me a hug
and tell me they love me.
977
00:36:03,395 --> 00:36:05,929
Your job is helping you a lot.
978
00:36:05,964 --> 00:36:07,631
Yeah. I ain't gonna lie,
my job,
979
00:36:07,666 --> 00:36:09,232
they had my back
since day one.
980
00:36:09,234 --> 00:36:10,467
I told you
that's a good family,
981
00:36:10,502 --> 00:36:12,068
-you don't have too many...
-[spencer] oh, yeah.
982
00:36:12,104 --> 00:36:13,737
...People who care about you
like that
983
00:36:13,772 --> 00:36:15,305
or will give you a opportunity
984
00:36:15,340 --> 00:36:17,107
to, you know,
just being yourself
985
00:36:17,142 --> 00:36:18,441
-and do better 'cause...
-Yeah.
986
00:36:18,477 --> 00:36:19,943
...You was tripping.
987
00:36:19,978 --> 00:36:22,546
Oh, yeah. I know. I was...
988
00:36:22,581 --> 00:36:24,381
Mmm-hmm.
You're doing good.
989
00:36:24,416 --> 00:36:26,616
I'm happy that you changed.
990
00:36:26,652 --> 00:36:28,985
And you changed me too, buddy.
991
00:36:31,023 --> 00:36:33,256
You and your mama,
992
00:36:33,292 --> 00:36:35,192
y'all came in my life
and changed me.
993
00:36:35,227 --> 00:36:37,360
We're supposed to.
994
00:36:37,396 --> 00:36:39,162
I told you,
you're a good guy.
995
00:36:39,198 --> 00:36:41,398
-Yeah.
-You just made bad decisions.
996
00:36:41,433 --> 00:36:43,400
It's very important to me
to show my son,
997
00:36:43,435 --> 00:36:44,734
you know, the right way
998
00:36:44,770 --> 00:36:47,337
'cause I chose the wrong way
999
00:36:47,372 --> 00:36:49,506
and it just brought me down
the wrong path.
1000
00:36:49,541 --> 00:36:51,675
So I was like, I'm gonna
always be on his tails
1001
00:36:51,710 --> 00:36:54,244
about being on the right way.
1002
00:36:54,279 --> 00:36:55,278
You ready to be bad?
1003
00:36:55,314 --> 00:36:58,148
You gonna be bad
or you gonna be good?
1004
00:36:58,183 --> 00:36:59,583
Or a little bit of both?
1005
00:36:59,618 --> 00:37:01,284
I hope for my son's future,
1006
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,420
like, he be real successful
1007
00:37:03,455 --> 00:37:05,255
and, like, you know,
he don't even gotta be
1008
00:37:05,290 --> 00:37:06,489
like no millionaire
or nothing.
1009
00:37:06,558 --> 00:37:09,025
I just want him
to be like a positive,
1010
00:37:09,061 --> 00:37:10,894
great guy, great man.
1011
00:37:10,929 --> 00:37:13,029
That's all I really want.
1012
00:37:17,069 --> 00:37:20,070
[upbeat music playing]
1013
00:37:23,542 --> 00:37:26,009
-[baby groans]
-what's wrong?
1014
00:37:27,179 --> 00:37:28,578
She wants a bottle?
1015
00:37:28,614 --> 00:37:30,780
Okay. I'm gonna make
her a bottle, okay?
1016
00:37:30,816 --> 00:37:32,115
And then we're gonna make
a phone call.
1017
00:37:32,150 --> 00:37:34,217
One of the great things
about my job
1018
00:37:34,253 --> 00:37:36,453
is that I'm able to do
a lot of it from home
1019
00:37:36,488 --> 00:37:38,622
and spend a lot of time
with my kids.
1020
00:37:38,657 --> 00:37:40,590
Are you excited?
1021
00:37:40,626 --> 00:37:41,925
When I'm working from home,
1022
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:43,660
I always tell the adopters
1023
00:37:43,695 --> 00:37:44,995
at the beginning
of the phone call,
1024
00:37:45,030 --> 00:37:47,163
I'm working from home,
I have two small children.
1025
00:37:47,199 --> 00:37:48,398
All right.
Nakoa, mommy's gonna make
1026
00:37:48,433 --> 00:37:49,633
a phone call, okay?
1027
00:37:49,668 --> 00:37:52,102
So, I need you to try to be,
kinda, quiet, okay?
1028
00:37:52,137 --> 00:37:55,972
Connie is the potential
adopter for roan.
1029
00:37:56,008 --> 00:37:58,275
Since getting all of that
information from tia,
1030
00:37:58,310 --> 00:37:59,409
I do have to let them know
1031
00:37:59,444 --> 00:38:02,379
everything I learned
about roan.
1032
00:38:02,414 --> 00:38:03,480
-[connie speaking]
-hi.
1033
00:38:03,515 --> 00:38:05,115
Hi, connie.
This is lizzy calling
1034
00:38:05,150 --> 00:38:07,017
from villalobos.
1035
00:38:07,052 --> 00:38:08,285
[connie speaking]
1036
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,487
[lizzy] I'm doing well,
how are you?
1037
00:38:10,522 --> 00:38:11,855
[connie speaking]
1038
00:38:11,890 --> 00:38:13,390
[lizzy]
I'm a little bit nervous.
1039
00:38:13,425 --> 00:38:15,925
I don't know if this is gonna
change anything for them,
1040
00:38:15,961 --> 00:38:17,160
but it could.
1041
00:38:17,195 --> 00:38:19,396
So I was just calling you
with an update on roan.
1042
00:38:19,431 --> 00:38:23,266
He just had, um,
a follow-up vet appointment.
1043
00:38:23,302 --> 00:38:25,935
I know that you know
he was really sick
1044
00:38:25,971 --> 00:38:28,705
when we got him
with heartworm disease.
1045
00:38:28,740 --> 00:38:30,106
-[connie] yeah.
-The good news is
1046
00:38:30,142 --> 00:38:32,709
that he
is heartworm-negative now.
1047
00:38:32,744 --> 00:38:36,413
Unfortunately, because his
heartworms were so severe,
1048
00:38:36,448 --> 00:38:38,648
it left so much heart damage.
1049
00:38:38,684 --> 00:38:40,216
The vet is actually
considering him
1050
00:38:40,252 --> 00:38:42,185
hospice at this point.
1051
00:38:42,220 --> 00:38:45,655
Um, she's unable to really
put a timeline on it.
1052
00:38:45,691 --> 00:38:47,457
I was very concerned
that connie
1053
00:38:47,492 --> 00:38:50,360
may not wanna move forward
with adopting roan
1054
00:38:50,395 --> 00:38:52,395
knowing that
she could lose him
1055
00:38:52,431 --> 00:38:54,264
soon after adopting him.
1056
00:38:54,299 --> 00:38:55,665
He just... His heart,
1057
00:38:55,734 --> 00:38:58,101
it just could...
I mean, it could fail him
1058
00:38:58,136 --> 00:38:59,536
really at any time.
1059
00:38:59,571 --> 00:39:02,772
It's a very difficult thing
to expect of somebody
1060
00:39:02,808 --> 00:39:04,507
and we would understand
1061
00:39:04,543 --> 00:39:06,076
if she didn't want
to move forward.
1062
00:39:06,111 --> 00:39:08,011
Do you want some time
to think about it?
1063
00:39:08,046 --> 00:39:09,746
Do you want to talk about
other dogs?
1064
00:39:09,781 --> 00:39:10,947
Do you wanna move forward?
1065
00:39:10,982 --> 00:39:13,416
How are you feeling?
1066
00:39:13,452 --> 00:39:15,985
[baby crying]
1067
00:39:16,021 --> 00:39:18,321
[mariah]
peeve. [laughs]
1068
00:39:18,357 --> 00:39:20,390
okay. Slow down,
you're freaking injured.
1069
00:39:20,425 --> 00:39:23,526
Peeve ended up having
a fractured wrist.
1070
00:39:23,562 --> 00:39:24,627
She's so young, too.
1071
00:39:24,663 --> 00:39:27,297
The vet told us
that doing surgery
1072
00:39:27,332 --> 00:39:29,599
was not gonna help her
at all.
1073
00:39:33,038 --> 00:39:36,039
[dramatic music playing]
1074
00:39:37,476 --> 00:39:39,175
[lizzy] do you want some time
to think about it?
1075
00:39:39,211 --> 00:39:41,010
Do you want to talk
about other dogs?
1076
00:39:41,046 --> 00:39:42,245
Do you wanna move forward?
1077
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:43,480
How are you feeling?
1078
00:39:43,515 --> 00:39:45,148
I was very concerned
that connie
1079
00:39:45,183 --> 00:39:47,951
may not wanna move forward
with adopting roan
1080
00:39:47,986 --> 00:39:50,053
knowing that
she could lose him
1081
00:39:50,088 --> 00:39:52,822
soon after adopting him.
1082
00:39:52,858 --> 00:39:55,859
[connie speaking]
1083
00:40:00,565 --> 00:40:03,133
[lizzy] it was actually
very comforting to hear
1084
00:40:03,168 --> 00:40:04,434
the emotion in her voice...
1085
00:40:04,469 --> 00:40:08,238
He is in foster, um,
but he does,
1086
00:40:08,273 --> 00:40:09,606
you know, share
that foster home
1087
00:40:09,641 --> 00:40:11,107
with other dogs.
1088
00:40:11,143 --> 00:40:13,576
Because it let me know
that she loves him
1089
00:40:13,612 --> 00:40:14,944
so much already.
1090
00:40:14,980 --> 00:40:17,647
[connie speaking]
1091
00:40:17,682 --> 00:40:19,015
-okay. Yeah.
-[connie] you know.
1092
00:40:19,050 --> 00:40:21,050
[connie speaking]
1093
00:40:35,567 --> 00:40:37,367
okay. So as long as he is...
1094
00:40:37,402 --> 00:40:39,836
As long as he is,
you know, cleared
1095
00:40:39,871 --> 00:40:42,505
to travel in the next
couple of weeks
1096
00:40:42,541 --> 00:40:44,274
and you think you'd want
to still move forward
1097
00:40:44,309 --> 00:40:45,575
with adopting him?
1098
00:40:45,610 --> 00:40:47,177
[connie speaking]
1099
00:40:47,212 --> 00:40:48,745
okay. Okay.
1100
00:40:48,780 --> 00:40:51,414
I thought connie's response
was very sweet.
1101
00:40:51,450 --> 00:40:52,782
You know,
she was more concerned
1102
00:40:52,818 --> 00:40:54,584
with whether or not
he could travel
1103
00:40:54,619 --> 00:40:56,953
to her than she was about
their feelings.
1104
00:40:56,988 --> 00:40:59,289
Okay. I'm gonna get
that list of medications
1105
00:40:59,324 --> 00:41:01,090
emailed to you.
1106
00:41:01,126 --> 00:41:03,059
These are the moments
that people
1107
00:41:03,094 --> 00:41:04,627
don't always get to see.
1108
00:41:04,663 --> 00:41:06,196
-[connie speaking]
-and then,
1109
00:41:06,231 --> 00:41:07,764
kinda, see
what the next steps are
1110
00:41:07,799 --> 00:41:09,065
and when he should get
rechecked.
1111
00:41:09,134 --> 00:41:10,567
There is so much that goes
1112
00:41:10,602 --> 00:41:13,069
into every single adoption.
1113
00:41:13,104 --> 00:41:15,572
Well, thank you so much,
I appreciate it
1114
00:41:15,607 --> 00:41:18,241
and I'll talk
to you very soon.
1115
00:41:18,276 --> 00:41:21,277
People don't see
how tedious this process is.
1116
00:41:21,313 --> 00:41:22,879
[connie speaking]
1117
00:41:22,914 --> 00:41:24,681
all right.
Thank you so much, connie.
1118
00:41:24,716 --> 00:41:26,416
-[connie] okay. Sounds great.
-Bye-bye.
1119
00:41:26,451 --> 00:41:27,750
[connie] you're welcome.
Bye-bye.
1120
00:41:27,786 --> 00:41:29,319
[lizzy] but it's for
a good reason
1121
00:41:29,354 --> 00:41:32,322
and it's to be able to set up
our dogs for success.
1122
00:41:32,357 --> 00:41:33,590
Nakoa, is mommy gonna get
1123
00:41:33,625 --> 00:41:35,525
any more work done today?
1124
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,795
No way.
1125
00:41:38,830 --> 00:41:41,831
[upbeat music playing]
1126
00:41:50,375 --> 00:41:51,975
[dog barking]
1127
00:41:52,010 --> 00:41:53,676
[toney] you ready to rock
and roll?
1128
00:41:53,712 --> 00:41:55,178
It's a little rain,
but you ain't...
1129
00:41:55,213 --> 00:41:57,347
You ain't gonna melt, sugar.
Come on.
1130
00:41:57,382 --> 00:42:00,250
[tia] when I met toney,
I knew from the second
1131
00:42:00,285 --> 00:42:03,486
we talked that he
was something special.
1132
00:42:03,522 --> 00:42:06,389
One, two, three.
1133
00:42:06,424 --> 00:42:08,925
[tia] having toney
bring hassan to the rescue,
1134
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:10,593
it's beautiful to see.
1135
00:42:10,629 --> 00:42:12,829
And I think it'll be a great
experience for him.
1136
00:42:12,864 --> 00:42:14,163
[toney] they got
some dogs that's scared
1137
00:42:14,199 --> 00:42:15,532
of the lightning and thunder.
1138
00:42:15,567 --> 00:42:17,700
When the thunder starts
to making noise,
1139
00:42:17,736 --> 00:42:19,669
we have to go grab
those dogs immediately
1140
00:42:19,704 --> 00:42:21,437
so they don't get too scared.
1141
00:42:21,473 --> 00:42:23,306
My son, hassan,
he'd be six now,
1142
00:42:23,341 --> 00:42:25,041
you know, he's getting
a coming of age now,
1143
00:42:25,076 --> 00:42:27,010
he's in kindergartener
and stuff.
1144
00:42:27,045 --> 00:42:29,612
You see, how they made up?
That's the same job
we got to do.
1145
00:42:29,648 --> 00:42:32,215
They should not poop in there
1146
00:42:32,250 --> 00:42:34,551
and then we change
their waters.
1147
00:42:34,586 --> 00:42:36,052
You know, he, like,
loves all dogs
1148
00:42:36,087 --> 00:42:38,054
and we have three dogs
at the house
1149
00:42:38,089 --> 00:42:39,355
and he puts them in crates,
1150
00:42:39,391 --> 00:42:41,224
takes him out of crates,
tell them to sit
1151
00:42:41,259 --> 00:42:42,292
and do all
the different things,
1152
00:42:42,327 --> 00:42:43,626
he caught on to that.
1153
00:42:43,662 --> 00:42:45,929
But, oh, he loves dogs
like as far as the rescue.
1154
00:42:45,964 --> 00:42:47,830
He, um, he wants to come
and take part,
1155
00:42:47,866 --> 00:42:49,265
he always wants
to walk the dog,
1156
00:42:49,334 --> 00:42:50,833
he wants to do this,
but of course
1157
00:42:50,869 --> 00:42:53,703
he's too small right now
for it, so I'm not...
1158
00:42:53,738 --> 00:42:55,171
Like you do with our dogs?
1159
00:42:55,206 --> 00:42:57,373
Yup. Just like we do
with our dogs.
1160
00:42:57,409 --> 00:42:59,475
Tia is really accepting
and trying to, you know,
1161
00:42:59,511 --> 00:43:01,544
get the family involved.
1162
00:43:01,580 --> 00:43:03,913
We got way more rubber mat
at the rescue.
1163
00:43:03,949 --> 00:43:06,282
Tia will make ways for us
to, kinda, like,
1164
00:43:06,318 --> 00:43:08,585
show our kids what we're doing
and the life we are living.
1165
00:43:08,620 --> 00:43:11,354
So you got
your pooper scooper.
1166
00:43:11,389 --> 00:43:14,190
You need some spray
and you need a towel.
1167
00:43:14,225 --> 00:43:16,559
I can show him the abcs
about things
1168
00:43:16,595 --> 00:43:17,860
and how to, you know,
you're supposed
1169
00:43:17,896 --> 00:43:19,862
to take care
of the dog's environment,
1170
00:43:19,898 --> 00:43:20,930
clean up after him.
1171
00:43:20,966 --> 00:43:22,532
That's good enough.
1172
00:43:22,567 --> 00:43:23,833
Now start wiping.
1173
00:43:23,868 --> 00:43:25,868
Having my son around,
that's around the people
1174
00:43:25,904 --> 00:43:27,737
that are here and stuff
of that nature,
1175
00:43:27,772 --> 00:43:29,973
it'd be a blessing
to have him take part in it
1176
00:43:30,008 --> 00:43:32,108
to whatever
degree he could.
1177
00:43:32,143 --> 00:43:33,409
And this house,
see how this house
1178
00:43:33,445 --> 00:43:35,211
-got all these rocks in it?
-[hassan] uh-huh.
1179
00:43:35,246 --> 00:43:37,747
[toney] would you wanna sleep
on all those rocks?
1180
00:43:37,749 --> 00:43:39,048
You know, when you have
all of them crumbs
1181
00:43:39,084 --> 00:43:42,418
in your bed,
how that be feeling?
1182
00:43:42,454 --> 00:43:43,820
-Yeah.
-[toney] so we're gonna
1183
00:43:43,855 --> 00:43:45,355
get that out of there, huh.
1184
00:43:45,390 --> 00:43:46,723
Whoa!
1185
00:43:46,758 --> 00:43:48,224
[toney] yup. But it's easy.
1186
00:43:48,259 --> 00:43:49,993
Look, I'm gonna take
these blankets.
1187
00:43:50,028 --> 00:43:51,094
I toss, I don't slap you
with 'em,
1188
00:43:51,129 --> 00:43:52,929
what am I used to having
a working partner.
1189
00:43:52,964 --> 00:43:54,664
-I take this.
-I said... I said,
1190
00:43:54,699 --> 00:43:57,367
"whoa" 'cause I didn't know
that could happen, though.
1191
00:43:57,402 --> 00:43:59,435
[toney] you see, how you flip
the rocks out that thing?
1192
00:43:59,471 --> 00:44:03,106
-[hassan] uh-huh.
-[toney] put it on the inside.
1193
00:44:03,141 --> 00:44:04,741
-[hassan] those...
-[toney] you wanna try to make
1194
00:44:04,776 --> 00:44:06,109
his bed nice, you know,
how you're making
1195
00:44:06,144 --> 00:44:07,377
your bed nice at home?
1196
00:44:07,412 --> 00:44:08,711
-[hassan] uh-huh.
-[toney] you wanna do
1197
00:44:08,747 --> 00:44:10,813
the best you can
for the dog before you go
1198
00:44:10,849 --> 00:44:14,183
so he could have
a comfortable spot to lay in.
1199
00:44:14,219 --> 00:44:16,586
I wipe all that off
and it should be clean.
1200
00:44:16,621 --> 00:44:18,321
That's helped sterilizing
it and it makes sure
1201
00:44:18,356 --> 00:44:20,323
it smells good for the baby.
1202
00:44:20,358 --> 00:44:22,859
Reach over there,
pull it straight,
make it look good.
1203
00:44:22,894 --> 00:44:25,228
See that baby kevlar?
1204
00:44:25,263 --> 00:44:26,429
-[hassan] hey.
-[toney] all right.
1205
00:44:26,464 --> 00:44:27,764
Now, this one
a little dirtier
1206
00:44:27,799 --> 00:44:29,966
than the last one,
but we're looking for poop
1207
00:44:30,001 --> 00:44:31,000
so glance around,
if you...
1208
00:44:31,002 --> 00:44:32,101
[hassan] oh, I see
some over there.
1209
00:44:32,137 --> 00:44:33,536
[toney] go get it.
1210
00:44:33,571 --> 00:44:35,238
That's the main thing.
1211
00:44:35,273 --> 00:44:36,873
You gotta get that poop up.
1212
00:44:36,908 --> 00:44:39,242
Cleaning dogs and taking
care of the upkeeping,
1213
00:44:39,277 --> 00:44:41,577
uh, it could be pretty grimy
and nasty.
1214
00:44:41,613 --> 00:44:43,146
So, what's you got to do next?
1215
00:44:43,181 --> 00:44:45,214
[hassan] I'm just gonna spray
now.
1216
00:44:45,250 --> 00:44:47,350
[toney] spray your beds now.
1217
00:44:47,385 --> 00:44:50,119
But hassan pretty much knows
what everything consist of
1218
00:44:50,155 --> 00:44:51,487
and he still wants to get
in there
1219
00:44:51,523 --> 00:44:53,389
and try to learn it
and figure it out,
1220
00:44:53,425 --> 00:44:55,058
so I'm, kind of, excited
about that,
1221
00:44:55,093 --> 00:44:56,926
my boy not scared
to get dirty.
1222
00:44:56,961 --> 00:44:59,696
Two dogs in this kennel
normally,
1223
00:44:59,731 --> 00:45:01,164
their names are zippy
and posey
1224
00:45:01,199 --> 00:45:02,298
and they're the ones
I told you are
1225
00:45:02,333 --> 00:45:03,599
scared of lightning.
1226
00:45:03,635 --> 00:45:05,401
Sometimes it's comforting
to have a friend
1227
00:45:05,437 --> 00:45:07,336
with you and sometimes
that's why we leave
1228
00:45:07,372 --> 00:45:09,172
the dogs together,
that's why these dogs
1229
00:45:09,207 --> 00:45:12,108
never been separated because
they comfort each other.
1230
00:45:12,143 --> 00:45:15,078
They're like brother
and sister almost.
1231
00:45:15,113 --> 00:45:16,813
Yeah. Like how I have
a sister?
1232
00:45:16,848 --> 00:45:17,914
[toney] yeah.
1233
00:45:17,949 --> 00:45:19,749
What we're doing
is just a regular job.
1234
00:45:19,784 --> 00:45:21,751
So, it's the same thing,
you know how sometimes
1235
00:45:21,786 --> 00:45:23,619
mona run to you
when she's scared?
1236
00:45:23,655 --> 00:45:24,987
-[hassan] uh-huh.
-[toney] I feel like
1237
00:45:25,023 --> 00:45:26,556
we make a change,
we save things
1238
00:45:26,591 --> 00:45:29,525
from horror situations
and a rough spot.
1239
00:45:29,561 --> 00:45:31,127
[hassan] so if they heard
a thunder boom, boom,
1240
00:45:31,162 --> 00:45:32,295
they're just gonna zoom?
1241
00:45:32,330 --> 00:45:34,297
[toney] zoom to their house
or something.
1242
00:45:34,332 --> 00:45:36,432
That's crucial, you know,
to be part of anything
1243
00:45:36,501 --> 00:45:38,201
like that, we know
as adults
1244
00:45:38,236 --> 00:45:41,104
that that's important 'cause
like it makes a difference.
1245
00:45:41,139 --> 00:45:43,940
[hassan] now we need
to fix the next bed up.
1246
00:45:43,975 --> 00:45:45,808
[toney] so getting the kids
involved or getting my son
1247
00:45:45,844 --> 00:45:47,944
involved in this early,
you know,
1248
00:45:47,979 --> 00:45:49,612
it means a lot to me
for those reasons.
1249
00:45:49,647 --> 00:45:52,248
He's doing something
meaningful at six.
1250
00:45:52,283 --> 00:45:54,584
You taking
all the easier jobs,
1251
00:45:54,619 --> 00:45:57,086
daddy's sweating bullets.
1252
00:45:57,122 --> 00:45:58,354
Being a parent,
I'm very proud
1253
00:45:58,389 --> 00:45:59,822
of my position.
1254
00:45:59,858 --> 00:46:02,058
I see it now, I seen it
like when I held him
1255
00:46:02,093 --> 00:46:04,127
in my hands and looked at him.
1256
00:46:04,162 --> 00:46:06,662
And I was trying to figure out
all the things I have to do
1257
00:46:06,698 --> 00:46:08,164
in this world and trying
to accomplish.
1258
00:46:08,199 --> 00:46:10,066
I feel like I need to make
a difference
1259
00:46:10,101 --> 00:46:12,168
and I'm not where I wanna be.
1260
00:46:12,203 --> 00:46:13,903
You know, and I'll just stop
and say, well,
1261
00:46:13,938 --> 00:46:16,773
I feel like he's gonna be
that same good soul I was.
1262
00:46:16,808 --> 00:46:19,075
I just need to get up
in the right things
1263
00:46:19,110 --> 00:46:21,077
to make sure he do
what I couldn't,
1264
00:46:21,112 --> 00:46:23,179
but I just wanna make sure
he don't feel like
1265
00:46:23,214 --> 00:46:25,348
there's no limits, you know.
1266
00:46:25,383 --> 00:46:26,716
Well, what'd you learn
from cleaning,
1267
00:46:26,751 --> 00:46:28,885
-you need your pooper scooper?
-Uh-huh.
1268
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:30,520
And then what you do
to the beds?
1269
00:46:30,555 --> 00:46:31,821
-The dog...
-You spray it.
1270
00:46:31,856 --> 00:46:33,689
-[toney] all right.
-And you wipe it.
1271
00:46:33,725 --> 00:46:35,191
[toney] wipe 'em down.
And what's the most...
1272
00:46:35,226 --> 00:46:36,993
What's one of the most
important things?
1273
00:46:37,028 --> 00:46:39,128
-The water.
-[toney] the water bucket,
1274
00:46:39,164 --> 00:46:40,263
especially in the summer time,
1275
00:46:40,298 --> 00:46:41,397
you know how hot it is.
1276
00:46:41,432 --> 00:46:44,000
Yes. You gonna be burning up.
1277
00:46:44,035 --> 00:46:47,503
[toney] I'm gonna let mama tia
know that you did real good.
1278
00:46:51,109 --> 00:46:54,110
[upbeat music playing]
1279
00:46:59,417 --> 00:47:04,053
[car horn honks]
1280
00:47:04,088 --> 00:47:05,488
[mariah] yeah.
They just put up this whole
1281
00:47:05,523 --> 00:47:07,957
privacy part.
Peeve ended up having
1282
00:47:07,992 --> 00:47:10,526
a fractured wrist
and is staying
1283
00:47:10,562 --> 00:47:12,829
at one of our upper
warehouses.
1284
00:47:12,864 --> 00:47:15,431
So, elise and I want
to go check up on her.
1285
00:47:15,466 --> 00:47:17,733
-Peeve.
-[elise] oh.
1286
00:47:17,769 --> 00:47:20,203
Okay, slow down,
you're freaking injured.
1287
00:47:20,238 --> 00:47:22,004
She doesn't even know it.
1288
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:24,740
Good lord, who made
this dog? Hi.
1289
00:47:24,776 --> 00:47:26,342
[mariah] she's a perfect
specimen.
1290
00:47:26,377 --> 00:47:28,044
Hi. Hi.
1291
00:47:28,079 --> 00:47:29,345
-[laughter]
-is she not the most
1292
00:47:29,380 --> 00:47:30,780
perfect thing you've ever seen
in your life?
1293
00:47:30,815 --> 00:47:32,048
Oh, my god, I love her.
1294
00:47:32,083 --> 00:47:34,083
Okay. Hold her and I'm gonna
pull her sleeve up.
1295
00:47:34,118 --> 00:47:35,818
She gets too frigging pumped
and runs around
1296
00:47:35,854 --> 00:47:38,087
with this thing like...
1297
00:47:38,122 --> 00:47:40,189
-What happened?
-She fractured it.
1298
00:47:40,225 --> 00:47:42,458
The vet told us
that doing surgery
1299
00:47:42,493 --> 00:47:44,894
was not gonna help her
at all.
1300
00:47:44,929 --> 00:47:46,329
The only thing
that we could do
1301
00:47:46,364 --> 00:47:49,765
was put the splint
and the giant cast on her.
1302
00:47:49,834 --> 00:47:51,067
It was a fracture on her wrist
1303
00:47:51,102 --> 00:47:53,035
or in between like above
her wrist or something.
1304
00:47:53,071 --> 00:47:54,370
Oh, I've known
that your feet...
1305
00:47:54,405 --> 00:47:56,772
[coughs] [laughs]
1306
00:47:56,808 --> 00:48:00,543
[dog barking]
1307
00:48:00,578 --> 00:48:02,111
-[mariah] oh, do you wanna...
-[elise] help.
1308
00:48:02,146 --> 00:48:03,346
[mariah] I know, I know.
1309
00:48:03,381 --> 00:48:05,014
When we found her
and rescued her,
1310
00:48:05,049 --> 00:48:07,183
her demeanor was obviously
a lot more calm,
1311
00:48:07,218 --> 00:48:09,452
but she's a really young dog
1312
00:48:09,487 --> 00:48:11,153
and has this giant cast on.
1313
00:48:11,189 --> 00:48:13,222
It's flailing
around everywhere.
1314
00:48:13,258 --> 00:48:16,292
So, I can imagine
when she has that cast off,
1315
00:48:16,327 --> 00:48:18,561
she's gonna be a bundle
of energy.
1316
00:48:18,596 --> 00:48:19,862
Yeah, she had a microchip.
1317
00:48:19,898 --> 00:48:22,265
-Did I tell you that?
-No. What happened?
1318
00:48:22,300 --> 00:48:24,767
-The number was disconnected.
-Of course, it was.
1319
00:48:24,802 --> 00:48:26,202
[mariah] we've gone
through all the things
1320
00:48:26,237 --> 00:48:28,704
that we can with microchip
and scanning
1321
00:48:28,740 --> 00:48:30,172
all the lost and found stuff,
1322
00:48:30,208 --> 00:48:32,174
and we did not see
any sign of an owner.
1323
00:48:32,210 --> 00:48:34,777
So she's legally
a villalobos dog.
1324
00:48:34,812 --> 00:48:36,746
[elise] look at her.
1325
00:48:36,781 --> 00:48:39,015
[mariah] I know she is in
next week for her checkup.
1326
00:48:39,050 --> 00:48:40,316
So, we'll see.
1327
00:48:40,351 --> 00:48:41,751
[elise] was she heartworm-
positive or...
1328
00:48:41,786 --> 00:48:43,419
-She is?
-Damn it.
1329
00:48:43,454 --> 00:48:44,787
[mariah] she's so young, too.
1330
00:48:44,822 --> 00:48:47,089
It's really uncommon
for dogs that young
1331
00:48:47,125 --> 00:48:49,458
to have heartworm,
but she does.
1332
00:48:49,494 --> 00:48:51,861
So after that cast is off,
she's gonna go through
1333
00:48:51,896 --> 00:48:53,896
heartworm treatment
and then we can test her
1334
00:48:53,932 --> 00:48:55,498
with dogs, kids,
1335
00:48:55,533 --> 00:48:57,400
and hopefully get her a home.
1336
00:48:57,435 --> 00:48:59,035
[elise] your eyes
are beautiful.
1337
00:48:59,070 --> 00:49:01,404
[mariah] look at her face.
1338
00:49:01,439 --> 00:49:03,406
Are you smiling?
1339
00:49:03,441 --> 00:49:05,441
[elise] and her dumb tail.
Look at her tail.
1340
00:49:05,476 --> 00:49:06,776
[mariah] peeve, to me,
is what a pit bull
1341
00:49:06,811 --> 00:49:07,777
is supposed to be.
1342
00:49:07,812 --> 00:49:10,646
She's happy, she's outgoing,
1343
00:49:10,682 --> 00:49:11,914
really active.
1344
00:49:11,950 --> 00:49:13,115
And I think that's why
elise and I
1345
00:49:13,151 --> 00:49:15,284
fell in love with her so much.
1346
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,620
[dog barking]
1347
00:49:17,689 --> 00:49:18,955
-did you get it?
-[mariah] I don't know.
1348
00:49:18,990 --> 00:49:20,389
At this point,
it's way too soon
1349
00:49:20,425 --> 00:49:22,658
to tell what's gonna happen
with her leg.
1350
00:49:22,694 --> 00:49:24,260
We're just hoping
everything's gonna heal well.
1351
00:49:24,295 --> 00:49:26,729
But we just have to wait
until that cast comes off
1352
00:49:26,764 --> 00:49:28,064
and then we'll go from there.
1353
00:49:28,099 --> 00:49:29,598
[elise] you're gonna find
the best home, buddy.
1354
00:49:29,634 --> 00:49:31,467
[mariah] I love you.
Oh, hello.
1355
00:49:31,502 --> 00:49:34,203
Okay. Let's go...
Let's go down here.
1356
00:49:34,238 --> 00:49:35,271
[elise] are you ready?
1357
00:49:35,306 --> 00:49:36,739
[mariah]
I don't really wanna leave.
1358
00:49:36,774 --> 00:49:38,574
-[elise] I can't. I'm done.
-[mariah] look at this face.
1359
00:49:38,609 --> 00:49:40,343
[elise] pose, toast.
1360
00:49:44,482 --> 00:49:47,483
[country music playing]
1361
00:49:55,727 --> 00:49:58,527
[moe] little baby.
1362
00:49:58,563 --> 00:49:59,962
[laughs]
1363
00:49:59,998 --> 00:50:01,430
[lizzy] so I wanted
to talk to you
1364
00:50:01,466 --> 00:50:03,366
about a hospice dog.
1365
00:50:03,401 --> 00:50:06,702
I think it's really important
to foster senior dogs
1366
00:50:06,738 --> 00:50:09,338
or hospice dogs because
those are the hardest dogs
1367
00:50:09,374 --> 00:50:10,673
to find homes for.
1368
00:50:10,708 --> 00:50:14,010
There's actually a couple
dogs that are hospice.
1369
00:50:14,045 --> 00:50:15,945
The one that, kinda, just...
1370
00:50:15,980 --> 00:50:18,381
I don't know, I just felt
more of a connection
1371
00:50:18,416 --> 00:50:20,649
with was cherokee.
1372
00:50:20,685 --> 00:50:23,119
I've, like, fallen in love
with senior cherokee.
1373
00:50:23,154 --> 00:50:24,520
Oh.
1374
00:50:24,555 --> 00:50:25,788
You wanna go live
at the house?
1375
00:50:25,823 --> 00:50:27,890
But he is like
an old man now
1376
00:50:27,925 --> 00:50:31,394
and he has a really bad,
like, back issue,
1377
00:50:31,429 --> 00:50:34,130
kinda, like, making
his back legs go out.
1378
00:50:34,165 --> 00:50:36,232
I had gone over
to the senior house
1379
00:50:36,267 --> 00:50:38,634
and was around cherokee
1380
00:50:38,669 --> 00:50:40,770
and I'm like, "oh my god,
you've gotten so old."
1381
00:50:40,805 --> 00:50:42,505
and he's just really sweet.
1382
00:50:42,540 --> 00:50:44,240
He's got, like, that
really sweet personality
1383
00:50:44,275 --> 00:50:46,242
and he is really
well-behaved.
1384
00:50:46,277 --> 00:50:48,110
But he's still, kinda,
like had that spunk
1385
00:50:48,146 --> 00:50:50,346
but at the same time
was like an old man.
1386
00:50:50,381 --> 00:50:52,948
You know, he probably
only has a couple of months.
1387
00:50:52,984 --> 00:50:55,151
I was thinking, you know,
even though
1388
00:50:55,186 --> 00:50:57,319
it's, kinda,
small in here
1389
00:50:57,355 --> 00:51:00,122
and we have four dogs,
I was thinking
1390
00:51:00,124 --> 00:51:01,590
we could just take him home
1391
00:51:01,626 --> 00:51:03,626
for the end of his life.
1392
00:51:03,661 --> 00:51:06,128
-Yeah, absolutely.
-[lizzy] moe does know
1393
00:51:06,164 --> 00:51:08,531
how much it means
to me to be able
1394
00:51:08,566 --> 00:51:11,767
to give dogs a home
in their final months.
1395
00:51:11,803 --> 00:51:13,235
Fun. Fun, fun, fun.
1396
00:51:13,271 --> 00:51:15,004
[lizzy] I'm just grateful
that he is supportive
1397
00:51:15,039 --> 00:51:17,740
and open to bringing
cherokee home.
1398
00:51:17,775 --> 00:51:19,175
What do you think?
1399
00:51:19,210 --> 00:51:20,443
We should do it?
1400
00:51:24,582 --> 00:51:25,681
[spencer] go get it.
1401
00:51:25,716 --> 00:51:27,850
This is hattie.
She's three years old.
1402
00:51:27,885 --> 00:51:29,785
Lizzy had rescued her.
She was a stray
1403
00:51:29,821 --> 00:51:32,388
under an abandoned car,
I believe.
1404
00:51:32,423 --> 00:51:33,689
Hattie, go get it.
1405
00:51:33,724 --> 00:51:35,491
She is kid-friendly
and she should be
1406
00:51:35,526 --> 00:51:37,359
the only dog
in the household.
1407
00:51:37,395 --> 00:51:39,395
And if you're interested
in adopting hattie
1408
00:51:39,430 --> 00:51:41,330
or any other villalobos dog
1409
00:51:41,365 --> 00:51:43,499
or donating
to villalobos,

/pitbulls.
1411
00:51:46,504 --> 00:51:49,772
Hattie, oh, go get it.
1412
00:51:49,807 --> 00:51:50,840
[chuckles]
1413
00:51:52,343 --> 00:51:54,710
[upbeat music playing]
1414
00:51:58,683 --> 00:52:00,483
-[mariah] flip.
-[luke] yeah?
1415
00:52:00,518 --> 00:52:01,951
[mariah] go sit on the couch.
1416
00:52:01,986 --> 00:52:03,886
Yes.
1417
00:52:03,921 --> 00:52:07,289
[mariah] here. Good boy.
1418
00:52:07,325 --> 00:52:08,824
What are you... Oh.
1419
00:52:08,860 --> 00:52:10,793
[lauren] ooh,
we're already interested.
1420
00:52:10,828 --> 00:52:13,696
I know. Look at her.
Oh my goodness.
1421
00:52:13,731 --> 00:52:15,598
Kanani and I recently did
a meet and greet
1422
00:52:15,633 --> 00:52:17,099
with a family from florida
1423
00:52:17,135 --> 00:52:18,968
and their black lab,
princess.
1424
00:52:19,003 --> 00:52:21,504
And the family
has chosen pleagle.
1425
00:52:21,539 --> 00:52:23,405
Good boy.
1426
00:52:23,441 --> 00:52:24,940
Are you ready?
You gotta help me.
1427
00:52:24,976 --> 00:52:27,776
We're gonna do some stuff
with pleagle today.
1428
00:52:27,812 --> 00:52:29,645
-Okay. Yeah.
-[mariah] you gonna help me?
1429
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,181
Any dog that gets adopted
through villalobos
1430
00:52:32,216 --> 00:52:34,984
goes into one of our homes
because you don't want them
1431
00:52:35,019 --> 00:52:37,052
to be, kind of, like,
in a culture shock
1432
00:52:37,088 --> 00:52:38,187
when they go into a new home.
1433
00:52:38,222 --> 00:52:40,256
Come in. Oh, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.
1434
00:52:40,291 --> 00:52:42,491
Nope, nope, nope, nope.
1435
00:52:42,527 --> 00:52:44,360
Okay, okay. Okay.
1436
00:52:44,395 --> 00:52:47,129
Hey, relax.
I know, you're very excited.
1437
00:52:47,165 --> 00:52:49,098
They have no clue
what a couch is
1438
00:52:49,133 --> 00:52:51,567
or what a refrigerator,
or a vacuum,
1439
00:52:51,602 --> 00:52:53,936
or just normal things
that happen
1440
00:52:53,971 --> 00:52:55,337
in your home,
they don't know what that is.
1441
00:52:55,373 --> 00:52:57,773
So, they come in
to one of our homes.
1442
00:52:57,808 --> 00:52:58,774
You can jump up here.
1443
00:52:58,809 --> 00:53:00,809
You wanna jump up
on the couch?
1444
00:53:00,845 --> 00:53:03,412
It's our way of ensuring
that when they do go home
1445
00:53:03,447 --> 00:53:06,048
that it's gonna be
a successful transition.
1446
00:53:06,083 --> 00:53:08,450
You gotta relax a little bit.
1447
00:53:08,486 --> 00:53:10,886
[kanani] good boy.
1448
00:53:10,922 --> 00:53:12,888
[mariah] he's like still
a little nervous of things.
1449
00:53:12,924 --> 00:53:14,823
[kanani] yeah. Come here.
1450
00:53:14,859 --> 00:53:16,425
-[mariah] isn't he cute?
-Good boy.
1451
00:53:16,460 --> 00:53:18,327
[mariah] when pleagle
came to our rescue,
1452
00:53:18,362 --> 00:53:20,029
he was shy
for the first few days.
1453
00:53:20,064 --> 00:53:22,464
And after about three
or four days,
1454
00:53:22,500 --> 00:53:25,935
this crazy, wild,
goofy, puppy
1455
00:53:25,970 --> 00:53:27,670
personality came out.
And it just showed us
1456
00:53:27,705 --> 00:53:30,139
that, even though
he does have a shy side,
1457
00:53:30,174 --> 00:53:31,440
it doesn't last very long.
1458
00:53:31,475 --> 00:53:33,475
And as long as he has time
to acclimate
1459
00:53:33,511 --> 00:53:35,444
and get comfortable,
that he'll be just fine
1460
00:53:35,479 --> 00:53:37,880
in most situations
he's put in.
1461
00:53:37,915 --> 00:53:39,381
[luke] it's a dog bed.
Go look at the dog bed.
1462
00:53:39,417 --> 00:53:41,250
[mariah] can we go see?
Go see.
1463
00:53:41,285 --> 00:53:43,452
-[kanani] come on.
-[mariah] good boy.
1464
00:53:43,487 --> 00:53:45,154
-[luke] it's a dog bed.
-[kanani] come on.
1465
00:53:45,189 --> 00:53:46,722
[luke] boohoo.
1466
00:53:46,757 --> 00:53:48,257
-He's like, "nah."
-[kanani] uh,
1467
00:53:48,292 --> 00:53:49,658
it's not as comfortable
as the couch.
1468
00:53:49,694 --> 00:53:51,160
We're gonna have
to tell them he's a...
1469
00:53:51,195 --> 00:53:52,728
He's a couch potato.
1470
00:53:52,763 --> 00:53:54,597
He prefers to be on the couch
1471
00:53:54,632 --> 00:53:56,532
next to someone, huh?
1472
00:53:56,567 --> 00:53:59,501
A couple things that I always
try to do in the beginning
1473
00:53:59,537 --> 00:54:01,837
is see how they do
just being out loose.
1474
00:54:01,872 --> 00:54:04,907
Learning what he prefers
gives me a really good idea
1475
00:54:04,942 --> 00:54:06,809
to tell the adoptors.
1476
00:54:06,844 --> 00:54:08,477
Here, why don't you go sit
in your chair,
1477
00:54:08,512 --> 00:54:10,145
I'm gonna grab you
something to eat,
1478
00:54:10,181 --> 00:54:11,847
and I'm gonna see
how he does.
1479
00:54:11,882 --> 00:54:14,817
I decided to have luke
try to sit down
1480
00:54:14,885 --> 00:54:15,951
and eat some food.
1481
00:54:15,987 --> 00:54:18,187
Sometimes dogs
don't have manners
1482
00:54:18,222 --> 00:54:20,256
when first coming
in to a home.
1483
00:54:20,291 --> 00:54:23,158
What is this? This is a...
Uh-uh, uh-uh. No.
1484
00:54:23,194 --> 00:54:24,793
He went to sniff a little bit
and I just gave him
1485
00:54:24,829 --> 00:54:25,894
a small correction
1486
00:54:25,930 --> 00:54:27,730
and he walked away
immediately.
1487
00:54:27,765 --> 00:54:28,931
Took it really well.
1488
00:54:28,966 --> 00:54:30,266
And he wasn't scared
of the fridge
1489
00:54:30,301 --> 00:54:32,001
which was a really good sign.
1490
00:54:36,274 --> 00:54:38,407
He's definitely more focused
on me than anything else.
1491
00:54:38,442 --> 00:54:39,875
[kanani] oh, yeah, absolutely.
1492
00:54:39,910 --> 00:54:41,710
He's all about
what you're doing.
1493
00:54:41,746 --> 00:54:42,978
[mariah] maybe I should
eat something
1494
00:54:43,014 --> 00:54:44,079
since he's focused on...
1495
00:54:44,115 --> 00:54:48,417
[kanani laughs]
1496
00:54:48,452 --> 00:54:49,485
[mariah] uh-uh. Uh-uh.
1497
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:50,953
Uh-uh. Uh-uh.
1498
00:54:50,988 --> 00:54:52,021
Uh-uh.
1499
00:54:52,056 --> 00:54:54,657
Sit. Sit.
1500
00:54:54,692 --> 00:54:56,525
No. Uh-uh.
1501
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:57,726
I know you don't know
what a table is,
1502
00:54:57,762 --> 00:54:58,694
but you gotta have manners.
1503
00:54:58,729 --> 00:55:01,163
Sit. Sit.
1504
00:55:01,198 --> 00:55:02,097
Uh-uh.
1505
00:55:02,133 --> 00:55:03,065
Go put that on the counter.
1506
00:55:03,134 --> 00:55:06,302
I wanna see if he tries
to jump.
1507
00:55:06,337 --> 00:55:09,204
It's so hard because
he's so focused on me.
1508
00:55:09,240 --> 00:55:11,674
Maybe I'll do the vacuum.
That way, he's...
1509
00:55:11,709 --> 00:55:14,343
To see if he's gonna find
comfort in one of you guys.
1510
00:55:14,378 --> 00:55:16,512
Pleagle seems to be
a little attached to me,
1511
00:55:16,547 --> 00:55:19,281
so I wanted me to be
the one turning on
1512
00:55:19,317 --> 00:55:20,849
the vacuum so he didn't
really have a comfort
1513
00:55:20,885 --> 00:55:23,052
to go to because
you can kinda see
1514
00:55:23,087 --> 00:55:24,653
their true colors
and how they're gonna act
1515
00:55:24,689 --> 00:55:26,155
'cause they don't have
that person
1516
00:55:26,190 --> 00:55:27,923
to lean on that they're used
to leaning on.
1517
00:55:27,958 --> 00:55:30,025
Stay right there.
Stay right there 'cause this
1518
00:55:30,061 --> 00:55:31,960
-is probably gonna spook him.
-[kanani] you gonna spooky.
1519
00:55:31,996 --> 00:55:33,762
[mariah] because
the vacuum's loud.
1520
00:55:33,798 --> 00:55:35,597
-[kanani] spooky, spooky.
-[mariah] all right, ready?
1521
00:55:35,633 --> 00:55:38,100
-Spooky, spooky, spooky.
-[vacuum whirring]
1522
00:55:38,135 --> 00:55:41,270
-[kanani] what's that spooky?
-[mariah] what do you think?
1523
00:55:41,305 --> 00:55:43,839
Hi, what do you think
about it? Good boy.
1524
00:55:43,874 --> 00:55:48,210
Good boy. What you think?
1525
00:55:48,245 --> 00:55:51,013
I mean, he's not...
He's not doing anything.
1526
00:55:51,048 --> 00:55:54,183
-Good job, bud.
-What a good boy.
1527
00:55:54,218 --> 00:55:55,584
-Good boy.
-[mariah] well, that's better
1528
00:55:55,619 --> 00:55:58,420
than what I thought
he was gonna do.
1529
00:55:58,456 --> 00:56:00,289
-Good job.
-Good boy.
1530
00:56:00,324 --> 00:56:01,724
[mariah] I did notice,
you know, he wanted
1531
00:56:01,759 --> 00:56:03,759
to be attached to kanani
at that time
1532
00:56:03,794 --> 00:56:05,194
which made me feel
really good.
1533
00:56:05,229 --> 00:56:06,895
So it's not that
he's necessarily
1534
00:56:06,931 --> 00:56:08,163
attached to me.
1535
00:56:08,199 --> 00:56:10,099
He just wants
to be with someone.
1536
00:56:10,134 --> 00:56:11,700
He's just
a people person dog.
1537
00:56:11,736 --> 00:56:13,802
He just wants to be snuggled.
1538
00:56:13,838 --> 00:56:15,871
So, I think if there's
plenty of different people
1539
00:56:15,906 --> 00:56:17,639
at that house,
then he'll have
1540
00:56:17,675 --> 00:56:19,675
attachments with all of them.
1541
00:56:19,710 --> 00:56:21,577
Well, that was all good
to start with
1542
00:56:21,612 --> 00:56:22,911
and then we'll just have
to keep working
1543
00:56:22,947 --> 00:56:24,880
-with some of those things.
-[kanani] good boy.
1544
00:56:24,915 --> 00:56:26,815
[mariah] and hopefully some
of his shyness will go away.
1545
00:56:26,851 --> 00:56:28,350
-[kanani] right.
-[mariah] all right, buddy.
1546
00:56:28,386 --> 00:56:30,119
-You did a good job.
-Good job, buddy.
1547
00:56:30,154 --> 00:56:31,754
-[mariah] here, come here.
-What a good boy.
1548
00:56:31,789 --> 00:56:34,223
Come here. Go in the crate.
Good job.
1549
00:56:34,258 --> 00:56:36,492
You crate up way better
than some of my dogs.
1550
00:56:36,527 --> 00:56:38,160
Pleagle did really well today
1551
00:56:38,195 --> 00:56:39,728
with the home testing,
1552
00:56:39,764 --> 00:56:42,297
but I want him to have
his personality
1553
00:56:42,366 --> 00:56:44,566
come out
and really be himself.
1554
00:56:44,602 --> 00:56:45,901
So I'm gonna give him
a few days
1555
00:56:45,936 --> 00:56:47,069
and then once I feel
1556
00:56:47,104 --> 00:56:48,637
that he is completely
comfortable
1557
00:56:48,672 --> 00:56:49,905
with the noises,
1558
00:56:49,940 --> 00:56:52,307
we wanna see
how he does with a pool
1559
00:56:52,343 --> 00:56:53,642
and because the adoptors
do have a pool
1560
00:56:53,677 --> 00:56:55,277
in their backyard
and we wanna make sure
1561
00:56:55,312 --> 00:56:57,980
that he's gonna be confident
to go around it
1562
00:56:58,015 --> 00:56:59,681
before he goes
to his new home.
1563
00:56:59,717 --> 00:57:01,583
Thanks, guys, for helping me.
1564
00:57:01,619 --> 00:57:03,552
-[kanani] you're welcome.
-[luke] welcome.
1565
00:57:03,587 --> 00:57:06,588
[mid-tempo music playing]
1566
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:24,873
carter, you wanna go
see some dog?
1567
00:57:24,909 --> 00:57:27,743
Yeah, this is my job
right here.
1568
00:57:27,778 --> 00:57:30,612
I was excited to bring
carter here to his first visit
1569
00:57:30,648 --> 00:57:32,080
to villalobos to show him
1570
00:57:32,116 --> 00:57:33,682
to, you know, people
that I love
1571
00:57:33,717 --> 00:57:35,083
and, you know, that love me.
1572
00:57:35,119 --> 00:57:37,719
That been around for me,
like, when I ain't got
1573
00:57:37,755 --> 00:57:39,788
nothing and when I was down.
1574
00:57:39,824 --> 00:57:42,257
God bless 'em.
Look at that.
1575
00:57:42,293 --> 00:57:45,327
-Dude, you a dad.
-A dad.
1576
00:57:45,362 --> 00:57:47,463
[man] sent chills up my spine.
1577
00:57:47,498 --> 00:57:48,831
[spencer] I would love
that villalobos
1578
00:57:48,866 --> 00:57:50,065
play a role his life, too,
1579
00:57:50,134 --> 00:57:52,201
because villalobos
was a prime part
1580
00:57:52,236 --> 00:57:55,404
of me becoming a better man
within myself.
1581
00:57:55,439 --> 00:57:57,439
-Everybody that boy walking up
-[spencer] oh, you gotta meet
1582
00:57:57,475 --> 00:57:58,974
your uncle earl.
1583
00:57:59,009 --> 00:58:02,044
[earl] look at that boy
walking up, daddy.
1584
00:58:02,079 --> 00:58:03,412
What's up uncle earl.
1585
00:58:03,447 --> 00:58:05,080
[spencer] that's uncle earl,
carter.
1586
00:58:05,115 --> 00:58:06,949
My little carter grew so fast.
1587
00:58:06,984 --> 00:58:08,050
Fast, fast.
1588
00:58:08,085 --> 00:58:09,818
That's what's happening
1589
00:58:09,854 --> 00:58:12,187
getting bigger, man.
1590
00:58:12,223 --> 00:58:13,922
What's up, my nephew?
1591
00:58:13,958 --> 00:58:15,257
Say, "what's up, uncle?"
1592
00:58:15,292 --> 00:58:17,426
it was very special
that carter meet earl
1593
00:58:17,461 --> 00:58:19,294
'cause, you know,
that's his family.
1594
00:58:19,330 --> 00:58:20,696
I look at earl as a brother
1595
00:58:20,731 --> 00:58:22,264
even though he is older
than me.
1596
00:58:22,299 --> 00:58:24,032
Like, me and earl,
like, have a deep connection,
1597
00:58:24,068 --> 00:58:26,068
like, if I need earl
for anything, like,
1598
00:58:26,103 --> 00:58:28,470
I could call earl anytime,
you know.
1599
00:58:28,506 --> 00:58:29,671
So it was like...
It was like
1600
00:58:29,707 --> 00:58:31,206
a very special moment.
1601
00:58:31,242 --> 00:58:33,242
[earl] how did it feel
like, bro?
1602
00:58:33,277 --> 00:58:34,977
It was like every time I get
off of work, it was like...
1603
00:58:35,012 --> 00:58:37,312
When he see me,
he just like... Yeah.
1604
00:58:37,348 --> 00:58:38,547
[earl] I didn't been
with spencer now
1605
00:58:38,582 --> 00:58:40,549
at least four years or more,
1606
00:58:40,584 --> 00:58:42,451
and I didn't saw him grow.
1607
00:58:42,486 --> 00:58:45,454
And I didn't saw some
of his downfalls.
1608
00:58:45,489 --> 00:58:48,190
-Ooh. Ooh.
-Yeah you big eating.
1609
00:58:48,225 --> 00:58:49,791
Oh. Strong.
1610
00:58:49,827 --> 00:58:51,927
He's squeezing my finger.
1611
00:58:51,962 --> 00:58:53,662
Just knowing
where he come from,
1612
00:58:53,697 --> 00:58:56,231
seeing some of his struggles,
1613
00:58:56,267 --> 00:58:59,167
it was extra special for me
to meet his firstborn.
1614
00:58:59,203 --> 00:59:01,603
-[earl] you work for him.
-[spencer] you a really
strong man yeah.
1615
00:59:01,638 --> 00:59:02,571
-Every day.
-[earl] you know,
1616
00:59:02,606 --> 00:59:03,672
that's what you come to work
1617
00:59:03,707 --> 00:59:05,607
for this right here.
1618
00:59:05,643 --> 00:59:08,610
What I think about seeing
some of the parolees,
1619
00:59:08,646 --> 00:59:11,847
just seeing these guys
growing inside this program,
1620
00:59:11,882 --> 00:59:14,149
this is a place
that's gonna always
1621
00:59:14,184 --> 00:59:15,884
have your back.
1622
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:16,885
I'mma holler, bro.
1623
00:59:16,921 --> 00:59:17,886
All right.
1624
00:59:17,922 --> 00:59:19,688
[earl] bye, carter.
1625
00:59:19,723 --> 00:59:24,293
[spencer] goodbye, uncle.
1626
00:59:24,328 --> 00:59:26,662
[mariah] luke, do you like
some kicks and some swims?
1627
00:59:26,697 --> 00:59:28,497
The potential adoptors
for pleagle
1628
00:59:28,532 --> 00:59:30,399
have a pool
in their backyard.
1629
00:59:30,434 --> 00:59:32,000
So they really wanna know
how pleagle
1630
00:59:32,036 --> 00:59:33,201
is gonna react to it.
1631
00:59:33,237 --> 00:59:34,803
[kanani] pleagle,
come here, buddy.
1632
00:59:34,838 --> 00:59:36,471
[tania]
he was a little bit shy.
1633
00:59:38,709 --> 00:59:41,209
[mid-tempo music playing]
1634
00:59:43,147 --> 00:59:44,246
[mariah]
pleagle is heading out
1635
00:59:44,281 --> 00:59:46,615
to his new home soon
with tania.
1636
00:59:46,650 --> 00:59:48,083
All right, pleagle fans.
1637
00:59:48,118 --> 00:59:50,686
And I wanted to really see
how he's gonna do
1638
00:59:50,721 --> 00:59:52,654
in a pool, so we borrowed
a friend's pool
1639
00:59:52,690 --> 00:59:54,022
to test him in.
1640
00:59:54,058 --> 00:59:55,624
-Oh, this is nice.
-Oh, this is nice.
1641
00:59:55,659 --> 00:59:56,758
[luke] look at that pool.
1642
00:59:56,794 --> 00:59:58,493
[mariah] that is a nice pool.
1643
00:59:58,562 --> 01:00:00,896
Pleags, what do you think?
Man, I want this
1644
01:00:00,931 --> 01:00:03,031
-to be my backyard.
-[tania] I'm saying.
1645
01:00:03,067 --> 01:00:05,300
[mariah] the potential
adoptors for pleagle
1646
01:00:05,336 --> 01:00:07,002
have a pool
in their backyard
1647
01:00:07,037 --> 01:00:09,171
and they also have a dog
named princess.
1648
01:00:09,206 --> 01:00:12,074
And princess loves to go
and swim in the pool.
1649
01:00:12,109 --> 01:00:13,809
So they really wanna know
how pleagle
1650
01:00:13,844 --> 01:00:16,378
is gonna react to it.
1651
01:00:16,413 --> 01:00:18,947
Luke, do like some kicks
and some swims.
1652
01:00:18,983 --> 01:00:20,616
-[luke] yeah.
-[mariah] good job, you.
1653
01:00:20,651 --> 01:00:23,919
-[tania] hey, look.
-[mariah] pleags, pleags.
1654
01:00:23,954 --> 01:00:25,220
Come on. What's that?
1655
01:00:25,255 --> 01:00:27,288
What's that? Look.
1656
01:00:27,291 --> 01:00:28,690
He's a little scared, yeah.
1657
01:00:28,726 --> 01:00:30,125
[tania] yeah,
but it's not super bad.
1658
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:32,060
[mariah] pleagle, you don't
know what you're missing, bud.
1659
01:00:32,096 --> 01:00:33,395
[luke]
you're missing out much.
1660
01:00:33,430 --> 01:00:34,930
[mariah] he's like,
"I'll just sunbathe."
1661
01:00:34,965 --> 01:00:36,565
all dogs
are really different.
1662
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:38,200
Some dogs are very confident.
1663
01:00:38,235 --> 01:00:40,068
They just go for things.
1664
01:00:40,104 --> 01:00:42,404
Babe, maybe sit with, like,
your legs in right there
1665
01:00:42,439 --> 01:00:45,073
and see if he comes close
to the edge.
1666
01:00:45,109 --> 01:00:46,875
Pleagle is
definitely a little shier
1667
01:00:46,910 --> 01:00:48,410
when it comes
to new situations
1668
01:00:48,445 --> 01:00:49,811
and new things.
1669
01:00:49,847 --> 01:00:51,813
So, it will probably take
a little bit of time
1670
01:00:51,849 --> 01:00:55,150
for him to just get adjusted
and get used to the pool.
1671
01:00:55,185 --> 01:00:56,518
[tania] give him treats.
1672
01:00:56,553 --> 01:00:59,354
[mariah] like associate it
with something positive.
1673
01:00:59,390 --> 01:01:00,689
[kanani] hey, go, look,
I got a treat.
1674
01:01:00,724 --> 01:01:03,058
-[tania] good boy.
-[mariah] good job.
1675
01:01:03,093 --> 01:01:05,827
Oh, he's a taker
and then eater.
1676
01:01:05,863 --> 01:01:07,295
-Maybe call him.
-[tania] come on.
1677
01:01:07,331 --> 01:01:08,830
[kanani]
pleagle, come here, buddy.
1678
01:01:08,866 --> 01:01:10,065
[whistles]
1679
01:01:10,134 --> 01:01:12,534
-[mariah] oh, good boy.
-[tania] there you go. Good.
1680
01:01:12,569 --> 01:01:13,835
[mariah] good job, buddy.
1681
01:01:13,871 --> 01:01:15,704
That feels good, bud?
1682
01:01:15,739 --> 01:01:16,705
[tania] this is good.
1683
01:01:16,740 --> 01:01:17,906
-This is very good.
-[mariah] yeah.
1684
01:01:17,941 --> 01:01:19,574
For it being the first time
1685
01:01:19,610 --> 01:01:22,544
pleagle seeing a pool,
I think he did pretty well.
1686
01:01:22,579 --> 01:01:25,247
He was a little bit shy,
but he did walk
1687
01:01:25,282 --> 01:01:28,116
right up to my brother
who was in the pool,
1688
01:01:28,152 --> 01:01:29,284
so that's good.
1689
01:01:29,319 --> 01:01:32,020
[mariah] hi.
You're doing so good, bud.
1690
01:01:32,056 --> 01:01:34,823
He's not scared of luke's
jumping and splashing.
1691
01:01:34,858 --> 01:01:36,091
He is walking to the edge
1692
01:01:36,126 --> 01:01:38,026
-to greet a person, so...
-Yeah, totally.
1693
01:01:38,062 --> 01:01:39,261
At least, the other dog
1694
01:01:39,296 --> 01:01:40,595
will help
with his confidence.
1695
01:01:40,631 --> 01:01:42,064
Yeah, and princess is
super confident.
1696
01:01:42,099 --> 01:01:43,532
He probably wanna follow her.
1697
01:01:43,567 --> 01:01:44,800
[tania] yeah, totally.
1698
01:01:44,835 --> 01:01:46,435
There's definitely not
anything else
1699
01:01:46,470 --> 01:01:47,769
that I'm really concerned
1700
01:01:47,805 --> 01:01:50,372
about in the home for pleagle
before he goes.
1701
01:01:50,407 --> 01:01:52,474
Yeah, buddy, come on.
1702
01:01:52,509 --> 01:01:53,875
[mariah]
once he is in the home
1703
01:01:53,911 --> 01:01:56,311
and around princess
who's a very confident dog,
1704
01:01:56,346 --> 01:01:59,081
that's where he gets a lot
of his confidence as well.
1705
01:01:59,116 --> 01:02:01,149
And he will most likely react
1706
01:02:01,185 --> 01:02:02,784
a little bolder
around the pool.
1707
01:02:02,820 --> 01:02:04,519
You did good.
1708
01:02:04,555 --> 01:02:06,855
Are you so excited to go
to your new home?
1709
01:02:06,890 --> 01:02:08,523
Yes.
1710
01:02:08,559 --> 01:02:09,958
Now, all the testing's out
of the way,
1711
01:02:09,993 --> 01:02:12,794
I get to take pleagle
to his new home in florida.
1712
01:02:12,830 --> 01:02:14,629
[mariah] thanks, lukey,
for your help.
1713
01:02:14,665 --> 01:02:16,531
[tania] thanks, luke.
1714
01:02:16,567 --> 01:02:18,934
[upbeat music playing]
1715
01:02:18,969 --> 01:02:20,969
[dog barking]
1716
01:02:27,578 --> 01:02:29,511
[mariah] come on, angel face.
1717
01:02:29,546 --> 01:02:31,046
Peeve is a dog
1718
01:02:31,081 --> 01:02:33,849
that elise and I rescued
pretty recently.
1719
01:02:33,884 --> 01:02:34,983
Oh, my god.
1720
01:02:35,018 --> 01:02:36,017
[elise] she's so cute.
1721
01:02:36,053 --> 01:02:38,120
[mariah]
peeve had a radial fracture
1722
01:02:38,155 --> 01:02:39,654
and ended up
having to be in a cast
1723
01:02:39,690 --> 01:02:41,423
for about four weeks.
1724
01:02:41,458 --> 01:02:42,524
-Oh.
-[laughs]
1725
01:02:42,559 --> 01:02:44,059
you wanna come up?
Come on.
1726
01:02:44,094 --> 01:02:45,994
She seems to be doing
a lot better now,
1727
01:02:46,029 --> 01:02:47,529
but is still in the process
of healing
1728
01:02:47,564 --> 01:02:49,698
even without the cast on.
1729
01:02:49,733 --> 01:02:52,834
-Oh, there we go.
-Go.
1730
01:02:52,870 --> 01:02:55,604
-She's perfect.
-She really is.
1731
01:02:55,639 --> 01:02:58,273
-Huh, look at this thing.
-It's nice to see
1732
01:02:58,308 --> 01:02:59,975
her attitude
has not changed.
1733
01:03:00,010 --> 01:03:01,376
No.
1734
01:03:01,411 --> 01:03:03,478
So even though peeve isn't
limping anymore
1735
01:03:03,514 --> 01:03:05,614
because she already
went through
1736
01:03:05,649 --> 01:03:07,048
all the medical treatment,
1737
01:03:07,084 --> 01:03:08,683
she's still healing
1738
01:03:08,719 --> 01:03:10,719
and we can't allow her
to run on it yet,
1739
01:03:10,754 --> 01:03:12,788
so we still
gotta be patient.
1740
01:03:12,823 --> 01:03:15,390
[elise] calm down.
You're maturing.
1741
01:03:15,425 --> 01:03:18,026
Now that she's not trying
to over compensate it...
1742
01:03:18,061 --> 01:03:19,361
-Mmm-hmm.
-...I think, for the cast,
1743
01:03:19,396 --> 01:03:20,962
she's calming down.
1744
01:03:20,998 --> 01:03:22,364
[mariah] since the day
that we got her
1745
01:03:22,399 --> 01:03:23,464
up until now,
1746
01:03:23,467 --> 01:03:26,101
her personality has just
always been bubbly
1747
01:03:26,136 --> 01:03:28,003
and really friendly
and sweet.
1748
01:03:28,038 --> 01:03:30,205
And it's something
that I do cherish about her.
1749
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:32,607
[laughs] you do the arms.
1750
01:03:32,643 --> 01:03:34,109
The arms. Arms up.
1751
01:03:34,144 --> 01:03:35,710
[laughs]
1752
01:03:35,746 --> 01:03:38,747
this dog, I...
1753
01:03:40,017 --> 01:03:41,349
Look at this thing.
1754
01:03:41,385 --> 01:03:42,951
She's like,
"I gotta get it all in."
1755
01:03:42,986 --> 01:03:44,286
she's pretty perfect, elise.
1756
01:03:44,321 --> 01:03:46,855
[elise] I don't...
Like, I have no words.
1757
01:03:46,890 --> 01:03:48,757
-She's perfect.
-[elise] she really is.
1758
01:03:48,792 --> 01:03:52,460
Perfect size, perfect shape,
perfect attitude.
1759
01:03:52,496 --> 01:03:53,829
[mariah]
once she's healed more,
1760
01:03:53,864 --> 01:03:55,463
-we'll, like, officially
dog test.
-[elise] yeah.
1761
01:03:55,499 --> 01:03:57,899
[mariah] we don't want to try
and dog test peeve right now
1762
01:03:57,935 --> 01:03:59,501
because
if she is dog-friendly,
1763
01:03:59,536 --> 01:04:00,836
she's gonna wanna play.
1764
01:04:00,871 --> 01:04:02,470
She's a very playful dog
1765
01:04:02,506 --> 01:04:05,340
and it's not gonna help her
healing at all,
1766
01:04:05,375 --> 01:04:06,241
so we do need to wait
1767
01:04:06,276 --> 01:04:07,676
until she's
completely healed
1768
01:04:07,711 --> 01:04:09,344
and then
we can dog test her,
1769
01:04:09,379 --> 01:04:10,879
kid test her.
1770
01:04:10,914 --> 01:04:12,414
And after that, we can
take some pictures of her
1771
01:04:12,449 --> 01:04:13,782
and get her up on the website
1772
01:04:13,817 --> 01:04:16,551
and hopefully find her
forever home very quickly.
1773
01:04:16,620 --> 01:04:18,220
Are we gonna put my pet peeve
1774
01:04:18,255 --> 01:04:20,021
-or peeve on the website?
-My pet peeve.
1775
01:04:20,057 --> 01:04:21,056
[both laughs]
1776
01:04:21,091 --> 01:04:23,091
[mariah] come on, angel face.
1777
01:04:26,597 --> 01:04:27,963
[tia] come here, shank.
1778
01:04:27,998 --> 01:04:29,531
Okay. Okay.
1779
01:04:29,566 --> 01:04:31,900
This is shank who is very...
1780
01:04:31,935 --> 01:04:34,035
-[toy squeaks]
-...Very toy-driven.
1781
01:04:34,071 --> 01:04:35,136
Oh, my god. Oh, my god.
1782
01:04:35,172 --> 01:04:36,471
Ready, go.
1783
01:04:38,208 --> 01:04:39,708
[laughs]
1784
01:04:39,743 --> 01:04:42,544
come on. [laughs]
1785
01:04:42,579 --> 01:04:45,513
she is a pit bull,
rottweiler, golden retriever,
1786
01:04:45,549 --> 01:04:46,815
and herding breed mix.
1787
01:04:48,485 --> 01:04:50,752
[laughs] he's about four
and a half years old,
1788
01:04:50,787 --> 01:04:52,988
super friendly,
good with kids
1789
01:04:53,023 --> 01:04:54,789
but probably the best
as an only dog
1790
01:04:54,825 --> 01:04:56,191
just because
of her energy level.
1791
01:04:56,226 --> 01:04:57,859
Come here.
1792
01:04:57,895 --> 01:04:59,027
[laughs]
1793
01:04:59,062 --> 01:05:01,529
it's snapping turtle,
loves the water.
1794
01:05:03,166 --> 01:05:04,432
If you're interested
in adopting
1795
01:05:04,468 --> 01:05:06,334
this really fun dog, shank,
1796
01:05:06,370 --> 01:05:08,203
or any other villalobos dog,
1797
01:05:08,238 --> 01:05:09,804
or to donate to villalobos,
1798
01:05:09,873 --> 01:05:13,174
go to
animalplanet.Com/pit bulls.
1799
01:05:13,210 --> 01:05:14,876
Have another toy
behind the camera.
1800
01:05:14,912 --> 01:05:17,312
You don't normally sit
this still for very long.
1801
01:05:17,347 --> 01:05:18,346
[laughs]
1802
01:05:20,951 --> 01:05:23,985
[country music playing]
1803
01:05:27,491 --> 01:05:28,723
[lizzy] all right, moe,
I'm coming in.
1804
01:05:28,759 --> 01:05:30,625
[moe] all right. Watch out,
here comes the dog.
1805
01:05:30,661 --> 01:05:32,160
[lizzy] here comes cherokee.
1806
01:05:32,195 --> 01:05:33,528
[moe] here comes cherokee.
1807
01:05:33,563 --> 01:05:34,963
[lizzy] I'm in
a really unique position
1808
01:05:34,998 --> 01:05:38,099
to be able to give
a senior dog like cherokee
1809
01:05:38,135 --> 01:05:39,801
a lot being that I am
home more.
1810
01:05:39,836 --> 01:05:41,803
[moe] this is a dog
we're gonna have.
1811
01:05:41,838 --> 01:05:44,472
[lizzy] I'm able to just spend
so much more time with them
1812
01:05:44,508 --> 01:05:46,141
and give them all the love
and attention
1813
01:05:46,176 --> 01:05:47,475
in whatever time
they have left.
1814
01:05:47,511 --> 01:05:48,877
He was like kid tested
1815
01:05:48,912 --> 01:05:50,078
-and he did well.
-[moe] yeah.
1816
01:05:50,113 --> 01:05:51,146
So that's why
1817
01:05:51,181 --> 01:05:52,314
I'm letting him,
like, go up to them
1818
01:05:52,349 --> 01:05:53,448
because he has been
kid tested.
1819
01:05:53,483 --> 01:05:55,116
But obviously meeting them
is a little bit different,
1820
01:05:55,152 --> 01:05:56,685
-they're a little younger.
-Right.
1821
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:58,119
[lizzy]
I did not have any concerns
1822
01:05:58,155 --> 01:06:01,189
bringing cherokee
into my home with my kids.
1823
01:06:01,224 --> 01:06:02,791
Dakota wants to say hi.
1824
01:06:02,826 --> 01:06:03,725
Come here, dakota.
1825
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:05,093
Dakota's still very young.
1826
01:06:05,128 --> 01:06:07,228
But nakoa has learned
from a very young age
1827
01:06:07,264 --> 01:06:09,030
to be gentle with dogs
1828
01:06:09,066 --> 01:06:10,665
that makes things
a lot easier
1829
01:06:10,734 --> 01:06:11,900
knowing that he knows
1830
01:06:11,935 --> 01:06:13,501
how to behave
around an older dog
1831
01:06:13,537 --> 01:06:14,836
and how to be gentle
with them.
1832
01:06:14,871 --> 01:06:16,571
-Cherk.
-[moe] go get the dogs.
1833
01:06:16,606 --> 01:06:19,407
This is baby girl.
1834
01:06:19,443 --> 01:06:21,843
Oh, careful, mama.
You love him?
1835
01:06:21,878 --> 01:06:23,745
He wants you to come. See?
He's excited.
1836
01:06:23,780 --> 01:06:25,447
-He's just excited.
-Hey, buddy.
1837
01:06:25,515 --> 01:06:27,816
[lizzy] cherokee hasn't met
my kids yet.
1838
01:06:27,851 --> 01:06:30,852
And before I can add him
to our family,
1839
01:06:30,887 --> 01:06:33,121
he needs to be able
to do well
1840
01:06:33,156 --> 01:06:34,789
with both of my kids.
1841
01:06:34,825 --> 01:06:36,291
Nakoa, you wanna help me
walk cherokee?
1842
01:06:36,326 --> 01:06:37,692
-[nakoa] yeah.
-[lizzy] okay.
1843
01:06:37,728 --> 01:06:40,362
I'm really hoping
that everything works out
1844
01:06:40,397 --> 01:06:42,464
so cherokee can have a home
with us.
1845
01:06:42,499 --> 01:06:43,932
[moe] wait.
We gotta look both ways.
1846
01:06:43,967 --> 01:06:45,133
[lizzy] yup. We're good.
1847
01:06:45,168 --> 01:06:46,868
Okay, hang on, hang on,
hang on.
1848
01:06:46,903 --> 01:06:48,903
[moe] yeah.
You like that?
1849
01:06:50,941 --> 01:06:52,374
[nakoa babbling]
1850
01:06:52,409 --> 01:06:55,010
[moe] whoo!
1851
01:06:55,045 --> 01:06:58,546
My kids get really excited
about a new dog in the house.
1852
01:06:58,582 --> 01:07:00,048
Who is that?
1853
01:07:02,152 --> 01:07:02,851
[lizzy] it's cherokee?
1854
01:07:02,886 --> 01:07:04,052
More importantly,
1855
01:07:04,087 --> 01:07:05,720
it's really great
for the dog
1856
01:07:05,756 --> 01:07:08,289
to be able to have a family
at the end.
1857
01:07:08,325 --> 01:07:09,824
-Okay.
-[nakoa speaking]
1858
01:07:09,860 --> 01:07:11,259
-oh, he wants to go home?
-[nakoa speaking]
1859
01:07:11,294 --> 01:07:12,227
should we take him
home with us?
1860
01:07:12,262 --> 01:07:13,528
-[nakoa speaking]
-okay, let's go.
1861
01:07:13,563 --> 01:07:15,130
-Say, "come on cherokee."
-[nakoa speaking]
1862
01:07:15,165 --> 01:07:17,332
[lizzy] I asked nakoa
if he want a cherokee
1863
01:07:17,367 --> 01:07:18,600
to stay with us
and come home?
1864
01:07:18,635 --> 01:07:20,068
And he said,
"yeah, come on cherokee.
1865
01:07:20,103 --> 01:07:22,070
And obviously
that makes my heart burst.
1866
01:07:22,105 --> 01:07:24,606
Weee.
1867
01:07:24,641 --> 01:07:25,840
It meant a lot to me
1868
01:07:25,876 --> 01:07:27,609
that he was also on board
with it,
1869
01:07:27,644 --> 01:07:30,278
and excited, and happy
to bring cherokee home.
1870
01:07:30,313 --> 01:07:32,647
I think he wants to be
part of our family.
1871
01:07:32,682 --> 01:07:35,950
So now,
we just spoil cherokee.
1872
01:07:35,986 --> 01:07:38,453
I think he likes
to walk next to you, nakoa.
1873
01:07:38,488 --> 01:07:40,355
And just make sure that
1874
01:07:40,390 --> 01:07:42,724
he's getting all the love
and attention
1875
01:07:42,759 --> 01:07:45,660
just the same
as if he went to a home
1876
01:07:45,695 --> 01:07:47,495
and was adopted out
from the rescue.
1877
01:07:47,531 --> 01:07:48,830
Come on, cherokee.
1878
01:07:55,772 --> 01:07:58,773
[country music playing]
1879
01:08:03,713 --> 01:08:06,314
[tania] pleags, come on.
1880
01:08:06,349 --> 01:08:08,550
Today I am
loading up pleagle
1881
01:08:08,585 --> 01:08:12,153
to take him to his potential
forever home in florida.
1882
01:08:12,189 --> 01:08:14,189
Ready?
1883
01:08:14,224 --> 01:08:16,291
Are you ready?
1884
01:08:16,326 --> 01:08:17,525
Yay.
1885
01:08:17,561 --> 01:08:18,793
Getting dogs homes
1886
01:08:18,829 --> 01:08:20,261
is like the best part
of our job.
1887
01:08:20,297 --> 01:08:21,930
So I'm actually
really excited
1888
01:08:21,965 --> 01:08:24,833
for him to have a new life
in florida.
1889
01:08:28,438 --> 01:08:30,438
Pleagle is a really
good dog
1890
01:08:30,474 --> 01:08:33,274
and did really well
with home testing.
1891
01:08:33,310 --> 01:08:35,376
So, I'm really hopeful
that everything works out
1892
01:08:35,412 --> 01:08:36,644
perfectly for him.
1893
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:38,580
We're going to florida.
1894
01:08:38,615 --> 01:08:39,614
Yay.
1895
01:08:40,717 --> 01:08:41,883
[lauren] good boy.
1896
01:08:41,918 --> 01:08:44,052
[tania] pleagle and princess
have not seen each other
1897
01:08:44,087 --> 01:08:45,320
since they're meet and greet.
1898
01:08:45,355 --> 01:08:46,421
So, it will be
a lot of pressure
1899
01:08:46,456 --> 01:08:47,455
to reintroduce them
1900
01:08:47,491 --> 01:08:50,358
especially
in princess's house.
1901
01:08:50,393 --> 01:08:51,826
[david] back. Nope. Nope.
1902
01:08:55,198 --> 01:08:57,465
[country music playing]
1903
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:07,208
you scored on a really
nice neighborhood, pleagle.
1904
01:09:07,244 --> 01:09:09,077
Holy moly.
1905
01:09:09,112 --> 01:09:11,513
Today I'm in florida
to do pleagle's home check.
1906
01:09:11,548 --> 01:09:13,181
It's a very, very long drive
1907
01:09:13,216 --> 01:09:14,883
to florida
from where I'm at
1908
01:09:14,918 --> 01:09:17,552
and I'm hoping that
everything goes well today
1909
01:09:17,587 --> 01:09:20,755
'cause pleagle really
deserves his new home.
1910
01:09:20,790 --> 01:09:22,790
[knocks on door]
1911
01:09:24,361 --> 01:09:25,894
-hi.
-Hello.
1912
01:09:25,929 --> 01:09:27,295
-I'm tania.
-David.
1913
01:09:27,330 --> 01:09:28,696
-Trysta.
-Hi. Nice to meet you.
1914
01:09:28,732 --> 01:09:29,797
Princess.
1915
01:09:29,833 --> 01:09:31,533
Princess, I've heard
a lot about you.
1916
01:09:31,568 --> 01:09:33,535
[david] since our trip
out to louisiana,
1917
01:09:33,570 --> 01:09:36,104
we have been waiting
with anticipation
1918
01:09:36,139 --> 01:09:37,939
and excitement
for pleagle to get here.
1919
01:09:37,974 --> 01:09:39,073
Okay. You wanna show me
around?
1920
01:09:39,109 --> 01:09:41,009
Sure. Okay,
so this is the living room.
1921
01:09:41,044 --> 01:09:42,744
This is where we hang out
most of the time.
1922
01:09:42,779 --> 01:09:43,912
[tania] cool.
1923
01:09:43,947 --> 01:09:45,813
This is supposed to be
pleagle's bed,
1924
01:09:45,849 --> 01:09:47,849
but this is where princess
likes to lay down.
1925
01:09:47,884 --> 01:09:49,117
[tania]
that's really funny.
1926
01:09:49,152 --> 01:09:51,452
We bought a whole bunch
of new stuff for pleagle,
1927
01:09:51,488 --> 01:09:53,288
new toys, a new bed
1928
01:09:53,323 --> 01:09:55,390
just so pleagle can feel
comfortable
1929
01:09:55,425 --> 01:09:56,558
in our house.
1930
01:09:56,593 --> 01:09:58,393
So we have both food bowls
separated.
1931
01:09:58,428 --> 01:10:00,195
So her side is here,
his side is here.
1932
01:10:00,230 --> 01:10:01,896
Cool. I don't have to go over
that with you then.
1933
01:10:01,932 --> 01:10:03,097
Because I was thinking
about that...
1934
01:10:03,133 --> 01:10:04,966
[trysta] just in case like
one of them's too aggressive.
1935
01:10:05,001 --> 01:10:06,634
-[tania] yeah.
-[trysta] so not to worry
about that.
1936
01:10:06,670 --> 01:10:08,503
Cool. That's the perfect size.
1937
01:10:08,538 --> 01:10:10,071
[trysta] yeah,
we have his crate.
1938
01:10:10,106 --> 01:10:11,706
So that way we can crate
train him
1939
01:10:11,741 --> 01:10:13,007
and then we got plenty
of toys
1940
01:10:13,043 --> 01:10:14,742
and treats for him
to start with.
1941
01:10:14,778 --> 01:10:16,477
They're gonna both have
their own treats.
1942
01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:17,345
[tania] awesome.
1943
01:10:17,380 --> 01:10:19,747
The family prepared
their house
1944
01:10:19,783 --> 01:10:21,149
perfectly for pleagle.
1945
01:10:21,184 --> 01:10:24,152
I think that
they were definitely excited
1946
01:10:24,187 --> 01:10:25,653
and prepared for
the whole thing.
1947
01:10:25,689 --> 01:10:28,756
-So this is the pool.
-Oh, my gosh.
1948
01:10:28,792 --> 01:10:30,658
I am so jealous.
1949
01:10:30,694 --> 01:10:33,661
Oh, my god,
this is amazing.
1950
01:10:33,697 --> 01:10:35,230
I wasn't at the meet
and greet.
1951
01:10:35,265 --> 01:10:37,565
So I'm actually very excited
to meet pleagle.
1952
01:10:37,634 --> 01:10:39,067
I'm just waiting
to see the dog
1953
01:10:39,102 --> 01:10:41,236
come in the door
like actually meet the dog.
1954
01:10:41,271 --> 01:10:42,737
On this trip,
it's like the most
1955
01:10:42,772 --> 01:10:43,871
I've ever spent with pleagle.
1956
01:10:43,907 --> 01:10:46,074
He's such a funny, cute,
cool dog.
1957
01:10:46,109 --> 01:10:47,942
I had a mirror
in my hotel room
1958
01:10:47,978 --> 01:10:50,311
and he saw his reflection.
1959
01:10:50,347 --> 01:10:52,480
And it was like the cutest
thing I've ever seen.
1960
01:10:52,515 --> 01:10:53,881
He was like pawing it
1961
01:10:53,917 --> 01:10:55,617
and like shaking his butt
in front of it
1962
01:10:55,652 --> 01:10:56,918
and like jumping on it.
1963
01:10:56,953 --> 01:11:00,521
Seeing pleagle play
with his own reflection
1964
01:11:00,557 --> 01:11:02,457
is definitely
a really good sign
1965
01:11:02,492 --> 01:11:04,259
that he will thrive off
1966
01:11:04,294 --> 01:11:06,261
of having another dog
in the home with him.
1967
01:11:06,296 --> 01:11:09,264
My sister-in-law
fostered him at her house
1968
01:11:09,299 --> 01:11:11,499
with their son
to get him ready
1969
01:11:11,534 --> 01:11:12,667
-for me to bring here.
-Okay.
1970
01:11:12,702 --> 01:11:14,335
[tania] and she said
that he did great.
1971
01:11:14,371 --> 01:11:17,438
We took him to a pool.
He didn't go in the pool.
1972
01:11:17,474 --> 01:11:21,009
He did go up to it though
and he was fine.
1973
01:11:21,044 --> 01:11:23,444
Like my nephew was splashing
around the pool,
1974
01:11:23,480 --> 01:11:25,113
jumping around,
and he was not fazed
1975
01:11:25,148 --> 01:11:26,180
-whatsoever.
-Okay.
1976
01:11:26,216 --> 01:11:27,248
[tania] so that's pretty
awesome.
1977
01:11:27,284 --> 01:11:28,850
Since she's a total
water dog.
1978
01:11:28,885 --> 01:11:30,318
-Yeah.
-If he sees her,
1979
01:11:30,353 --> 01:11:31,786
you know, splashing around
and jumping around,
1980
01:11:31,821 --> 01:11:34,555
that might encourage him
to want to join
1981
01:11:34,591 --> 01:11:36,124
-and play too.
-Sounds good.
1982
01:11:36,159 --> 01:11:37,525
Cool.
So that's pretty much it.
1983
01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:40,094
You guys are all,
like, set up and ready to go.
1984
01:11:40,130 --> 01:11:42,163
So that's really cool.
It makes my job a lot easier.
1985
01:11:42,198 --> 01:11:43,164
Yeah.
1986
01:11:43,199 --> 01:11:44,932
[tania] what I'm going to do
1987
01:11:44,968 --> 01:11:47,168
is I want to, uh, just take
a quick look at the yard
1988
01:11:47,203 --> 01:11:48,169
and then I'll go grab him.
1989
01:11:48,204 --> 01:11:49,904
-Okay.
-[tania] cool.
1990
01:11:49,939 --> 01:11:51,306
[david]
when they do come out here,
1991
01:11:51,341 --> 01:11:52,940
we watch them the whole time
they're out here.
1992
01:11:52,976 --> 01:11:55,543
[tania] okay, cool.
Is it all fenced off?
1993
01:11:55,578 --> 01:11:56,844
[david] it is
completely fenced off
1994
01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:58,346
and the fence
is actually buried
1995
01:11:58,381 --> 01:12:00,014
-into the ground.
-[tania] oh, cool.
1996
01:12:00,050 --> 01:12:01,949
It looks good.
And now that I know
that it's in the ground,
1997
01:12:01,985 --> 01:12:03,384
that's even better.
1998
01:12:03,420 --> 01:12:04,952
Just watch for landmines.
1999
01:12:04,988 --> 01:12:06,354
-Oh.
-[laughter]
2000
01:12:06,389 --> 01:12:08,189
-yeah, that.
-Story of my life.
2001
01:12:08,224 --> 01:12:09,757
Yeah, no.
It looks great.
2002
01:12:09,793 --> 01:12:11,326
I think it looks...
It's perfect.
2003
01:12:11,361 --> 01:12:13,294
-Yeah.
-I think they're gonna have
a lot of fun.
2004
01:12:13,330 --> 01:12:15,363
This is, like,
such a change for him.
2005
01:12:15,398 --> 01:12:17,765
He came from like a tiny,
tiny animal shelter
2006
01:12:17,834 --> 01:12:20,101
where no one ever like
even has heard of it.
2007
01:12:20,136 --> 01:12:21,803
So he never would have
gotten a home
2008
01:12:21,838 --> 01:12:23,237
like being from there.
2009
01:12:23,273 --> 01:12:25,006
So it's really awesome
that now he's gonna be, like,
2010
01:12:25,041 --> 01:12:27,408
playing in florida.
2011
01:12:27,444 --> 01:12:29,110
All right,
I'm gonna go grab him.
2012
01:12:29,145 --> 01:12:30,978
And then I'll meet you guys
out front.
2013
01:12:31,014 --> 01:12:32,213
-Okay.
-[trysta] I'm feeling, like,
2014
01:12:32,248 --> 01:12:34,949
so excited to, like,
finally pet pleagle again
2015
01:12:34,984 --> 01:12:36,384
and get to, like,
hug him and, like,
2016
01:12:36,419 --> 01:12:38,553
have him jump
on me again finally.
2017
01:12:38,588 --> 01:12:39,954
[tania] you have
some really excited people
2018
01:12:39,989 --> 01:12:41,489
waiting for you.
2019
01:12:41,524 --> 01:12:42,724
Okay, come on.
2020
01:12:45,328 --> 01:12:47,362
Hi. Hey.
2021
01:12:47,397 --> 01:12:49,130
Hey.
2022
01:12:49,165 --> 01:12:50,331
[tania] it takes him
a minute.
2023
01:12:50,367 --> 01:12:53,067
-[david] hey, buddy.
-[trysta] oh.
2024
01:12:53,103 --> 01:12:55,069
[david] it was
overwhelming excitement
2025
01:12:55,105 --> 01:12:56,404
that he was finally here.
2026
01:12:56,439 --> 01:12:58,740
And when he came right up
to me was even better.
2027
01:12:58,775 --> 01:13:02,043
-[trysta] pleagle.
-[tania] you say hi.
2028
01:13:02,078 --> 01:13:03,678
Hey, pleagle.
2029
01:13:03,713 --> 01:13:04,879
First day jitters.
2030
01:13:04,914 --> 01:13:07,181
[tania] it doesn't take long.
2031
01:13:07,217 --> 01:13:09,984
Good boy.
2032
01:13:10,019 --> 01:13:12,120
[ryon] he really got
comfortable with us.
2033
01:13:12,155 --> 01:13:14,288
And he seemed to really fit in
a lot with everybody.
2034
01:13:17,293 --> 01:13:19,660
[david] just taking my time
to walk down the line.
2035
01:13:19,696 --> 01:13:21,362
-Yeah.
-[lauren] pleagle just came
2036
01:13:21,398 --> 01:13:22,930
right up to us.
2037
01:13:22,966 --> 01:13:25,032
It's like he remembered
who we were.
2038
01:13:25,068 --> 01:13:27,268
Now if you want,
you can grab princess
2039
01:13:27,303 --> 01:13:29,971
on leash
and bring her out here.
2040
01:13:30,006 --> 01:13:31,372
Come on, pleags.
Come here.
2041
01:13:31,408 --> 01:13:33,641
Pleagle and princess
have not seen each other
2042
01:13:33,676 --> 01:13:34,742
since their meet
and greet.
2043
01:13:34,778 --> 01:13:36,210
So it actually
is a lot of pressure
2044
01:13:36,246 --> 01:13:37,779
to reintroduce them,
2045
01:13:37,814 --> 01:13:39,914
especially
in princess' house.
2046
01:13:39,949 --> 01:13:41,115
[david] back.
2047
01:13:41,151 --> 01:13:42,583
No. No.
2048
01:13:46,890 --> 01:13:49,290
[dramatic music playing]
2049
01:13:49,325 --> 01:13:50,958
[tania] come on, pleags.
Come here.
2050
01:13:50,994 --> 01:13:53,428
[david] back. No. No.
2051
01:13:53,463 --> 01:13:56,030
[tania] I'm always concerned
and worried
2052
01:13:56,065 --> 01:13:57,465
and a little bit
stressed out
2053
01:13:57,534 --> 01:13:59,667
when I'm bringing a dog
into a home
2054
01:13:59,702 --> 01:14:01,035
with another dog.
2055
01:14:01,070 --> 01:14:02,636
[trysta] both of them
are doing it.
2056
01:14:02,639 --> 01:14:04,572
-[tania] come on.
Let's go walk. Come on.
-[david] let's go.
2057
01:14:04,607 --> 01:14:07,008
[trysta] my main concern
is that princess
2058
01:14:07,043 --> 01:14:08,176
might get like kind of shy
2059
01:14:08,211 --> 01:14:10,077
and just not
really play as much.
2060
01:14:10,113 --> 01:14:11,846
But other than that,
I have no concerns.
2061
01:14:11,881 --> 01:14:13,014
[tania] pleagle.
2062
01:14:13,049 --> 01:14:14,215
[trysta] let me get
out of here. What...
2063
01:14:14,250 --> 01:14:15,783
[tania] no, no, come.
Come on.
2064
01:14:15,819 --> 01:14:17,218
-Pleagle.
-[david] come on.
2065
01:14:17,253 --> 01:14:18,719
-[trysta] pleagle.
-Pleags.
2066
01:14:18,755 --> 01:14:21,222
Hey.
2067
01:14:21,257 --> 01:14:22,723
Remember?
2068
01:14:22,759 --> 01:14:23,891
[david] you can see
an instant
2069
01:14:23,927 --> 01:14:25,359
they want to run up
to each other.
2070
01:14:25,395 --> 01:14:26,894
They wanted
to meet each other.
2071
01:14:26,930 --> 01:14:29,263
And then after a few minutes,
we're like, okay, yeah,
2072
01:14:29,299 --> 01:14:31,499
you're here.
We're good.
2073
01:14:31,534 --> 01:14:33,501
Here we go, tail wag.
2074
01:14:33,536 --> 01:14:34,802
[lauren] it's like
they were ready
2075
01:14:34,838 --> 01:14:37,438
to just come and play
with each other right away.
2076
01:14:38,608 --> 01:14:40,608
-[tania] look.
-Hi, pleagle.
2077
01:14:42,679 --> 01:14:44,178
Good job.
2078
01:14:44,214 --> 01:14:45,580
He's... Like, he's fine.
2079
01:14:45,615 --> 01:14:46,848
[trysta] yeah,
he's ready to go inside.
2080
01:14:46,883 --> 01:14:47,882
Yeah.
2081
01:14:47,917 --> 01:14:49,784
Princess and pleagle
fell in love
2082
01:14:49,819 --> 01:14:51,552
right off the bat again.
2083
01:14:51,588 --> 01:14:53,287
So it was basically
the perfect reunion.
2084
01:14:53,323 --> 01:14:54,789
It was like everything
I could ask for.
2085
01:14:54,824 --> 01:14:57,458
-There we go.
-[laughter]
2086
01:14:57,494 --> 01:14:58,960
I knew it wasn't gonna
take long.
2087
01:14:58,995 --> 01:15:00,428
Yeah.
2088
01:15:03,700 --> 01:15:05,299
-[tania] pleags.
-[lauren] oh, yes.
2089
01:15:05,335 --> 01:15:06,567
Aw.
2090
01:15:09,539 --> 01:15:11,672
Aw.
2091
01:15:11,708 --> 01:15:13,107
[ryon] I'm really hoping
that pleagle will like me
2092
01:15:13,142 --> 01:15:15,109
more than trysta. [chuckles]
2093
01:15:15,144 --> 01:15:16,878
that way I have
like a little buddy
2094
01:15:16,913 --> 01:15:18,913
to go on car rides with.
2095
01:15:18,948 --> 01:15:20,014
[tania] let's go
in the pool, guys.
2096
01:15:20,049 --> 01:15:22,216
All right.
Pleagle, here.
2097
01:15:23,419 --> 01:15:25,553
-Get it.
-[laughter]
2098
01:15:25,588 --> 01:15:27,355
[tania] did you like that?
You want to go in the pool
2099
01:15:27,390 --> 01:15:29,457
and be a pool dog?
2100
01:15:29,492 --> 01:15:31,692
-[lauren]
we'll get it later.
-[tania] yeah. It will...
2101
01:15:31,728 --> 01:15:34,362
It will take some time.
Maybe with some time
2102
01:15:34,397 --> 01:15:35,796
and, you know,
a lot of patience,
2103
01:15:35,832 --> 01:15:38,666
maybe princess
can teach pleagle to go
2104
01:15:38,701 --> 01:15:40,768
into the pool,
but even if he doesn't do it
2105
01:15:40,803 --> 01:15:43,471
I know he's just gonna be
happy to be there with her.
2106
01:15:46,709 --> 01:15:48,743
Honestly, I love taking dogs
to their new homes.
2107
01:15:48,778 --> 01:15:50,011
I was super happy
for pleagle
2108
01:15:50,046 --> 01:15:52,280
but the highlight to me
was to see princess
2109
01:15:52,315 --> 01:15:53,614
diving into the pool.
2110
01:15:53,650 --> 01:15:56,183
Ready?
2111
01:15:56,219 --> 01:15:59,186
-[tania] yeah. That's great.
-[trysta] oh, there you go.
2112
01:15:59,222 --> 01:16:01,556
-And she has her own towel.
-[tania] oh, my god.
2113
01:16:01,591 --> 01:16:04,125
That's cute.
She knows exactly.
2114
01:16:05,361 --> 01:16:07,461
This is officially yours.
You're happy right?
2115
01:16:07,497 --> 01:16:09,196
Thank you.
Yes, yes, definitely.
2116
01:16:09,232 --> 01:16:11,232
Awesome.
I'm happy.
2117
01:16:11,267 --> 01:16:13,000
[trysta] I'm so happy
that we finally have
2118
01:16:13,036 --> 01:16:14,402
like a new member
of our family
2119
01:16:14,437 --> 01:16:15,836
and he's finally home.
2120
01:16:15,872 --> 01:16:18,072
We get to like spend
all this time with him now.
2121
01:16:18,107 --> 01:16:19,974
[tania] he is your...
Officially yours now.
2122
01:16:20,009 --> 01:16:21,509
-Yeah, yeah.
-[ryon] most likely me
2123
01:16:21,544 --> 01:16:23,811
and pleagle
are going to be best buds.
2124
01:16:23,846 --> 01:16:24,979
Yes.
2125
01:16:25,014 --> 01:16:26,547
New brother, huh?
2126
01:16:28,351 --> 01:16:29,650
[david] pleagle's life
is going to be like
2127
01:16:29,686 --> 01:16:32,320
any one of our other dogs,
which aren't our dogs.
2128
01:16:32,355 --> 01:16:34,355
They're our family members.
So he's gonna be spoiled
2129
01:16:34,390 --> 01:16:35,890
just as much as the rest.
2130
01:16:38,861 --> 01:16:41,862
[rock music playing]
2131
01:16:47,503 --> 01:16:49,303
[lizzy] okay. Lay down.
Lay down.
2132
01:16:49,339 --> 01:16:51,606
Good. Good.
2133
01:16:51,641 --> 01:16:54,075
Cherokee, is a hospice dog
that moe and I
2134
01:16:54,110 --> 01:16:56,010
recently decided to take
into our home.
2135
01:16:56,045 --> 01:16:59,046
Oh, careful. You wanna
give him a french fry?
2136
01:16:59,082 --> 01:17:00,481
Okay. Hang on.
We got to take it...
2137
01:17:00,516 --> 01:17:01,582
Okay, come bring it to him.
2138
01:17:01,618 --> 01:17:02,717
You got to just give
it to him.
2139
01:17:02,752 --> 01:17:05,419
Drop it in front of him,
drop it in front of him.
2140
01:17:05,455 --> 01:17:07,989
[nakoa giggles]
2141
01:17:08,024 --> 01:17:09,824
[lizzy] when we find out
a dog is hospice,
2142
01:17:09,859 --> 01:17:11,325
it's like
all bets are off.
2143
01:17:11,361 --> 01:17:12,426
They can have
whatever they want.
2144
01:17:12,462 --> 01:17:15,129
-Hey, bubba.
-[nakoa] stegosaurus time
2145
01:17:15,164 --> 01:17:16,697
[lizzy] I try to manage
how much people food
2146
01:17:16,733 --> 01:17:18,666
I give him so he doesn't get
an upset stomach.
2147
01:17:18,701 --> 01:17:21,168
But I mean,
if he wants some french fries,
2148
01:17:21,204 --> 01:17:23,304
he can have some
of the nakoa's french fries.
2149
01:17:23,339 --> 01:17:24,839
Nakoa, what color is...
What color of hair
2150
01:17:24,874 --> 01:17:26,307
does cherokee have
on his face?
2151
01:17:27,877 --> 01:17:29,110
Purple?
2152
01:17:29,145 --> 01:17:31,178
I feel completely
relieved that
2153
01:17:31,214 --> 01:17:33,781
cherokee settled
in and loves my family
2154
01:17:33,816 --> 01:17:36,117
and we absolutely adore him.
2155
01:17:36,152 --> 01:17:38,019
I'm gonna put cherokee
back into rest.
2156
01:17:38,054 --> 01:17:39,920
And then, uh, me
and you got to make
2157
01:17:39,956 --> 01:17:41,989
-a phone call.
-[nakoa speaking]
2158
01:17:42,025 --> 01:17:43,724
[lizzy] we've to call
one of the adopters
2159
01:17:43,793 --> 01:17:45,526
and check in on a dog.
2160
01:17:46,629 --> 01:17:48,162
What do you think old man?
2161
01:17:48,197 --> 01:17:50,665
I named him roan
because that's the color
2162
01:17:50,700 --> 01:17:53,234
of a horse
when of this color.
2163
01:17:53,269 --> 01:17:55,336
[lizzy] a couple
of our employees brought roan
2164
01:17:55,371 --> 01:17:59,407
to his forever home
and did his home check.
2165
01:17:59,442 --> 01:18:02,043
Yeah, it's a dog.
2166
01:18:02,078 --> 01:18:03,577
His name is roan.
2167
01:18:03,613 --> 01:18:06,547
I just wanted
to call connie and tony
2168
01:18:06,582 --> 01:18:09,483
and follow up and see
how roan has been doing.
2169
01:18:09,519 --> 01:18:10,484
Connie.
2170
01:18:14,223 --> 01:18:17,558
-No, not kanani.
-[nakoa babbling]
2171
01:18:17,593 --> 01:18:20,194
[phone ringing]
2172
01:18:20,229 --> 01:18:22,129
-[connie speaking]
-hi connie,
2173
01:18:22,165 --> 01:18:24,231
this is lizzie calling
from villalobos.
2174
01:18:25,368 --> 01:18:27,401
-[connie speaking]
-[tony speaking]
2175
01:18:27,437 --> 01:18:28,502
hi tony.
2176
01:18:28,538 --> 01:18:31,105
So I was just calling
to check in
2177
01:18:31,140 --> 01:18:32,740
and see how roan is doing.
2178
01:18:33,943 --> 01:18:36,043
[connie] what
you're doing there, buddy?
2179
01:18:36,079 --> 01:18:39,213
Good boy.
Good boy, roan.
2180
01:18:39,248 --> 01:18:41,782
This is your new yard,
checking it out?
2181
01:18:44,487 --> 01:18:46,287
[lizzy]
connie and tony were
2182
01:18:46,322 --> 01:18:48,889
the perfect adopters
for roan.
2183
01:18:48,925 --> 01:18:51,926
[connie speaking]
2184
01:19:00,103 --> 01:19:02,503
[tony] I'm sure it's probably
a big change for him.
2185
01:19:02,538 --> 01:19:04,004
Now he's here,
he's like, "what's going on"?
2186
01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:05,039
[connie] yes.
2187
01:19:08,778 --> 01:19:10,745
Good boy.
2188
01:19:10,780 --> 01:19:12,580
How cute is he nakoa?
2189
01:19:12,615 --> 01:19:15,149
Oh, look at him,
is he lying on the couch?
2190
01:19:15,184 --> 01:19:17,151
Oh, my god,
he looks so cozy.
2191
01:19:17,186 --> 01:19:19,320
Look at his little leg
hanging off.
2192
01:19:19,355 --> 01:19:22,156
[connie] he's enjoying
the cold weather.
2193
01:19:22,191 --> 01:19:24,525
And we had
our first snow here
2194
01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:27,194
-two weeks ago.
-Oh, does he like the snow?
2195
01:19:27,230 --> 01:19:29,063
It was really sweet to see
2196
01:19:29,098 --> 01:19:31,432
how comfortable roan
is with them.
2197
01:19:31,467 --> 01:19:33,968
Yeah. There you go.
All the love.
2198
01:19:34,003 --> 01:19:36,737
[lizzy] he went
from being a hound
2199
01:19:36,773 --> 01:19:41,342
that was clearly living
in some very bad conditions.
2200
01:19:41,377 --> 01:19:43,410
Now he's sleeping
on a couch
2201
01:19:43,446 --> 01:19:46,480
and riding in a car
on a huge fluffy blanket,
2202
01:19:46,516 --> 01:19:48,916
playing in the snow,
going for walks
2203
01:19:48,951 --> 01:19:50,451
where everybody
in the neighborhood
2204
01:19:50,486 --> 01:19:52,286
is just in love with him.
2205
01:19:52,321 --> 01:19:53,754
That's what we want
for all of our dogs.
2206
01:19:53,790 --> 01:19:57,992
[tony speaking]
2207
01:19:58,027 --> 01:19:59,193
oh, I love that.
2208
01:19:59,228 --> 01:20:01,495
Well, it sounds like you guys
are really happy with him.
2209
01:20:01,531 --> 01:20:04,398
[tony speaking]
2210
01:20:04,433 --> 01:20:06,567
yeah, no, I agree
it was meant to be
2211
01:20:06,602 --> 01:20:08,869
because, uh, it would
have been very difficult
2212
01:20:08,905 --> 01:20:11,338
to find a home for him.
2213
01:20:11,374 --> 01:20:13,741
After talking
with connie and tony,
2214
01:20:13,776 --> 01:20:15,375
I know 100%
2215
01:20:15,378 --> 01:20:17,578
that they were
the right people for roan.
2216
01:20:17,613 --> 01:20:19,814
And I am not worried
about him at all.
2217
01:20:19,849 --> 01:20:21,849
[tony speaking]
2218

-[connie speaking]
-[tony speaking]
2219
01:20:28,524 --> 01:20:30,424
[lizzy] one of the things
that I've taken
2220
01:20:30,459 --> 01:20:32,993
from this adoption is that
2221
01:20:33,029 --> 01:20:35,095
there's hope
for our hospice dogs
2222
01:20:35,131 --> 01:20:36,764
and our senior dogs
to get homes.
2223
01:20:36,799 --> 01:20:39,967
Well, I'm glad that we were
able to catch up.
2224
01:20:39,969 --> 01:20:42,369
And thank you so much
for sending the pictures
2225
01:20:42,405 --> 01:20:44,839
and I'll definitely make sure
to pass them along.
2226
01:20:46,976 --> 01:20:49,977
[delightful music playing]
2227
01:20:55,518 --> 01:20:57,818
[tia]
working around these dogs,
2228
01:20:57,854 --> 01:21:00,688
you learn the responsibility,
2229
01:21:00,723 --> 01:21:03,390
you learn patience,
2230
01:21:03,426 --> 01:21:05,526
you learn to care,
2231
01:21:05,561 --> 01:21:06,894
and you learn compassion.
2232
01:21:06,929 --> 01:21:10,698
That absolutely
is the elements
2233
01:21:10,733 --> 01:21:12,600
that you need
to be a good parent.
2234
01:21:12,635 --> 01:21:15,402
So I think working
at the rescue
2235
01:21:15,438 --> 01:21:17,304
does prepare you for that.
2236
01:21:17,340 --> 01:21:19,540
You have all type of doggies
up here.
2237
01:21:19,575 --> 01:21:21,275
One day you might work here.
2238
01:21:21,310 --> 01:21:24,078
[tia] I think absolutely
that there's a good chance
2239
01:21:24,113 --> 01:21:27,147
that some of these third
generation youngsters
2240
01:21:27,183 --> 01:21:28,749
could be the future
for villalobos.
2241
01:21:28,784 --> 01:21:30,351
I'd like to think so.
2242
01:21:30,386 --> 01:21:31,819
Definitely,
they're gonna be dog lovers
2243
01:21:31,854 --> 01:21:33,220
for sure, you know.
2244
01:21:33,256 --> 01:21:35,256
Oh, man,
I was gonna help you.
2245
01:21:35,291 --> 01:21:36,457
You don't need my help.
2246
01:21:36,492 --> 01:21:38,726
This whole vrc family,
2247
01:21:38,761 --> 01:21:40,895
these are my kids,
all of them.
2248
01:21:40,930 --> 01:21:43,197
And I'm super proud of them
2249
01:21:43,232 --> 01:21:45,199
and I'm happy for them,
2250
01:21:45,234 --> 01:21:47,067
and just to see
everybody grow
2251
01:21:47,103 --> 01:21:49,436
and still be a part
of the rescue,
2252
01:21:49,472 --> 01:21:51,305
I'm very fortunate.
2253
01:21:51,340 --> 01:21:54,341
[dramatic music playing]
2254
01:21:56,946 --> 01:22:00,014
[david] efe, let's go. Go.
2255
01:22:02,551 --> 01:22:05,552
