Man Devotes His Life To Adopting Old Dogs Who Can’t Find Forever Homes
Months kept passing after Steve Greig’s beloved dog died, but he still felt crushed. That’s when he decided he should give another rescue dog a good life. But not just any dog from an animal shelter. He went to his local dog adoption center in Denver, Colorado to take home the “least adoptable” senior dog, as these are the ones too often overlooked. Now, Greig is a super busy human dad to his ten elder dog shelter rescues, and his Instagram is overloaded with cuteness approved by 478k followers.
Each day Greig wakes up at 5.a.m in the morning to make breakfast for his big family of ten cute dogs. Most of the dogs have different diets. His schedule is filled with walks in the park, vet appointments…and lots of love and cuddles. “Whenever I sit or lie down at a dog-friendly level, there are always at least three or four of [dogs] attached,” Greig writes on Instagram.
“They’re just wiser animals,” Greig told The Dodo. “You kind of know what you want out of life once you become a certain age. These older dogs know who they are, and it’s easy to develop a relationship with a person or pet who knows who they are. It’s just fulfilling knowing that these adorable animals are happy and loved and well-taken care of. It makes my days worthwhile.”
Greig also has a pig named Bikini, as well as two ducks, pigeons, cats, and a few chickens. He has no more room for pets at the moment, but he intends to adopt more senior dogs in the future. Because after all, love sees no age.

Months kept passing after Steve Greig’s beloved dog died, but he still felt crushed
“A month or two went by and I still felt so horrible about it”
“I decided that the only way I would feel better was if something good happened that probably wouldn’t have happened if he had not died”
“So [I adopted] a 12-year-old Chihuahua with a heart murmur and four bad knees”
“…And that was just the beginning of all the animals”
Now, Greig is a super busy human dad to his 10 elder shelter dogs
“A normal day for me is getting up at 5 a.m. in the morning and making breakfast for all of them”
“Which, you know, there’s 10 [dogs] and most of them have different diets”
He also takes them to grooming appointments and the vet
And administers medication to the ones with health problems
Greig even comes back from work during lunch time to let them outside and give treats
While he’s away, the lovely crowd has time to express themselves…
“I grew up with a lot of pets”
“Both my parents were animal lovers”
“They pretty much always let me have whatever I wanted as long as I could take care of it”
“[Senior dogs] are just wiser animals”
“They just make it feel like home”
“It’s just fulfilling knowing that these guys are happy and loved and well-taken care of”
“It makes my days worthwhile”

For sure...Greig is living hope for all that has been forgotten...
Load More Replies...I am beyond amazed at your generosity. You are a truly an amazing human being!
I also have 10 rescue dogs ranging from 2 yrs to 14. people think I'm mad... they dont understand obviously. WIsh more people would adopt rescue dogs instead of wanting "a cute little puppy" Adult dogs are a lot less trouble ... Goldie Oldies (dogs) are the Tops eh? HPIM1630.jpg
They are adorable. You are an angel. I have 12 rescue cats.
Load More Replies...Just like to say what a amazing person to offer 10 dogs a forever loving home & shows there are still humans out there. I have 3 wonderful dogs who where from an animal centre & wouldn't be without them. They give so much back. They are so cute.
I bow to you, Steve! You are my hero! It is good to know that angels still walk on Earth...!!
lovely deerhound...and yes you are amazing, I would love to do the same. Dogs are better than most humans..:)
We built a camp for old dogs called Shady Pines at a shelter in Cape Town South Africa.I love old dogs so much as they rarely are the ones that get adopted .I have adopted 3 out of Shady Pines and we totally adore them .Well done Grieg i wish more people were like you and would adopt the seniors .
I'm jealous, it's my dream to have that many animals and help so many too. You're a great guy.
It is so unusual to find a man like that. Its amazing whatever it is, I am happy for the animals, even piggy 😄. Its all so sweet. Hard work too and expensive. Good luck, best wishes to all of you, love you all. Xxxx 😄😄
Wonderful! Keep it up, you are an amazing person. Would love to know more about the pig :)
You are one special disciple of God for all you do for these beautiful Dogs. Your heart is blessed and nothing but Good Karma to you good Sir!
What a beautiful story 1 man has for animals if all cared this way no more wars
God bless you. You've got a big heart and I know your fur babies never take it for granted. It's the purest love you receive from a pet. They're not just animals, but family.
Miracles happens, we just do not realize but here is one, besides, what a good photographer you are
No miracle here, just goodwill,daily dedication,responsibility, empathy,kindness and generosity.Let's give the credits to whom deserves them
Load More Replies...The world needs more people who love and care for animals and people- you are a great inspiration for love and sharing
What a wonderful thing to do! I wish I could take every dog ever abandoned and give them the home they deserve! You are amazing. God Bless!!
Amazing, although tbh I was waiting for the pig to be mentioned.
Beautiful man beautiful story beautiful creatures, makes me happy to be human
What a guy you are. They appreciate you. Just the fact they are so good about posing shows that. I'm a pet/housesitter and take care of many older dogs, some on medications. Two or three is a lot. Helping these sweet dogs, pig and rabbit spend their later days in comfort- priceless!
You are an incredible human being! Those dogs as well as the others got very, very lucky. It makes me so happy for them and you!!
Greig you are truly an angel on earth! 😇💖🐶Saving all these sweet precious puppies! 🥰
God Bless you !!! Your beautiful story commands respect. You are a wonderful human being. You brightened up my life with your selfless charity. I love you and all you do !!!
I just love u devotion and live for these animals I wish more people would feel like u do and give that much devotion love and care to animals the world would be a better place
You are an Earth Angel !! God bless your BIG Compassionate heart!! 💖💖💖💖💖
Thank you for thinking of the older dogs! They are the ones that won’t get picked, and it shreds my heart into pieces to think that they will die alone and unloved in a dog pound. They are my soft spot. Thank you, thank you!!!
I think ypu are one Amazing Man..I know God is Blessing you....prayers for all your little ones......and big ones....I wish there were more like you
We need more true angels like you in the world, You & your furry kids are a truly blessed! Most of my friends have fur or feathers. Bet you'd be an excellent father. Keep up the awesome person that you are.
You are beyond incredible!! I LOVE YOU😘😘😘😘 How can people donate money or item to you???? Thank you Thank you Thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💕💕💕💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💓💓💓❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💖💖💖💖💖
My Hero, thank God for people like you. Bless you and all your babies. Amazing.
Hi Steve Greig I am all the time looking for a better world, but I just believe when I can see people like you like me, In Brazil I use to JUST adopt normally pregnat abandoned cats. For sure they bring me happiness!!!
I have been following you for a long time. Those animals in your care are Soooo Lucky to have you❤️
You have a wonderful soul .The dogs look so content and happy.Bless you.
Dear Grieg, If you would like a person to help you with them ( I am a married woman) interested in animals and friendship, please let me know.
I greatly admire your generous spirit and your compassion. Great work.
What a wonderful heart you have for these special babies, thank you.
4 of my 5 dogs adopted me! I bought my 15 1/2 old Rat Terrier. I admire you SO much! I wish the world had more tender-hearted people like you. God bless you!
man after my own heart, that's so wonderful thank you or your kindness
This man is a saint. I hope to do the same when I retire. Such inspiration!!! ❤️
He stole my heart & he doesn't even know it. A man with that much compassion & patience is worth wanting to know!
Bravo. I admire you so much for giving these precious animals a wonderful carefree life - how awesome to have so many friends.
Wow! You really ROCK! God bless you and I hope you have a wonderful life!!
How can I find this amazing fella to inquire and donate ? No face book page?
thank you for your kinda heart,and such a perfect way to remember your belove dog.
Greig, you are AWESOME!! Obviously you have a talent for photography as well, the pictures are wonderful! I would love to meet you sometime.
Greig, are you married?? Would love to meet you, you are a REAL MAN!!
Great article. Love to see someone turn heartache into a happy ending for another. www.bullydevotion.com
Love to see someone turn heartache into a happy ending for another. www.bullydevotion.com
I'm a softy for four legged friends in need also. You are an angel to them. Your dog that passed sent you on a wonderful journey of healing. I wish I could also be able to follow the journey of helping animals. God Bless!
You've earned many jewels for your heavenly crown. God bless you.
What a wonderful man. & what lucky dogs. Thats a whole lot of love. xxx
You are a hero to all dogs. Hopefully your story will inspire others to adopt senior dogs. They look so loved!
You are a beautiful soul. God Bless you and all you do for those fur babies. 🙏🏼
GREG, great job, what goes around comes around. I have 5 , keeps me busy.
I know how you feel Greig and think you're fantastic. I did almost the same thing, only with kitties. I had one (only one) for 17 years and he was my buddy, my kid. We went through so much together. Now I have 8. One with diabetes, one with cardio-myopathy, 2 with asthma, one that's allergic to everything, one with bad knees that slip in and out of joint, one has stomach problems and 2 that were concidered unadoptable and brought back 3 times and were on the way to be put down due to attitude problems. There are tough days but everyday is full of laughter and mischief and they are all so appreciative and full of love. Luckily I have a good vet that works with me. I have learned to adapt by doing things like using baby pools instead of standard litter boxes. And no, my house doesn't smell, I clean a couple times a day. It starts with medications and ends with brushing and treats (kitty crack). It's a great feeling to have so much inspiration and unconditional love.
I love this man and his adorable senior dogs. He inspired me to do more. I have pets and now, I ask myself, can I do more? Can I afford more pets? Thank you💖😻🐶
Brought tears to my eyes and a smile to my face. What a wonderful human bean you are Grieg. What a beautiful array of creatures you have. I envy you. Although I have 8 cats myself.
You're a beautiful human, Steve! Truly making a good impact on the world. Thank you, it would be amazing if even one person saw this & decided not only to adopt but adopt a senior pet.
You are an Saving Angel for these sweethearts! I would so love to be able to do what you have done, Thank You for what you are doing for these cuties, they need you just as much as you need them!
I think this is beautiful..I can't have a pet where I live but you are a special person to take care of these elderly animals the way you do..GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR ANIMALS.
I have a special love for Greig because this is what he was assigned to do during his earthly journey. If you ever have need for a few dollars to help you with your mission, please contact me at sameera41@comcast.net. I shall be glad to lend a hand. I, too, am an animal lover.
Wow I wish I could do that. I'm only allowed 3 dogs at my house or Animal control will write me a ticket and make me get rid of the extra dogs. But my neighbor next door has 3 bedrooms and 4 families living there. Does that sound fair???
A big "THANK YOU' to you for what you are doing. May God bless you and your little friends always. They are so very blessed to have you.
I so get this. My old dog was blind and mostly deaf. He was an adorable goofball. once he left my yard to explore the block. I still smile about that. Special place in my heart for senile old dogs.
Beautiful home, beautiful pictures, beautiful life, beautiful soul. They look so loved, comforted and happy. You are inspiring!
There is a special place in Heaven for you. God Bless You and your furbabies.
Greig, are you married? I can't do as much as you can afford to do, but I am doing my best with 8 rescued pets. It is a wonderful way to live. Very rewarding!
What a beautiful human. We should all aspire to be "kind and compassionate". With respect. :-) X
Never mind singers, sportsmen, "celebrities", you are the sort of person I would knight and make a "Sir", if I had the ability to do so. People like you Greig are very special, and should be acknowledged as such.
Many blessings be upon you! (You DO know that one of your dogs is a pig, right?)
Pig: "Day 109, the Chihuahua is beginning to suspect me, but I seem to have earned everyone else's trust."
What an amazing beautiful spirit you are,God has defiantly blessed you with a compassionate,loving heart & soul...there is a no better feeling then giving a helpless ,voiceless angel a chance at truly knowing love,life,family,security...I have 10 furbabies too,they brighten my every day and I tend to enjoy their company over some humans...they defiantly give us way more to our lives then we know...I sure wished the world could learn to open their hearts & homes to these unfortunate loyal,loving angels...this story warmed my heart and made me smile 🤓❤️🐾❤️🐾💜🐾💜🐾 what your doing for these beautiful angels is the most unselfish ,kind thing,they have someone to care and love them in life....that's everything to them.God bless you Greg and your precious loves...I admire you for your beautiful soul....❤️🐾💛🐾💙🐾💜🐾💚🐾☮☦✝❤️🤓
Your story warmed My heart so much! I just wish that there were a Lot more people like You In this World. I run a web site and there are always so many pets that people have abandoned, and just left totally helpless. I only allow post for pets In My group for Pet's that have been Lost, or abandoned and need fur ever homes. I always Help keep the post pined at the Top of my web site, to be sure that they all find a good and loving home. To me,. People that just abandon their poor helpless pets, are beyond low and just don't have a heart,. that's my opinion anyway. May GOD continue to pour out a Blessing on You that You can Not contain, because You sure do deserve It! I have -4- fur babies, and they keep Me busy 24/7/365,. so I can only Imagine how busy You must stay taking care of ll of these precious gifts from GOD! Thank for all that You do. GOD Bless You always, from one pet lover to another! ;-) "Minister Debbie Montgomery Farmer". ;-)
What an awesome thing to do. I have a little rat-chihuahua and can not bare to think of those little sensitive guys in shelters...I am debating picking up 2 tomorrow. You will get back the love you are giving them all. Xo
What a kind and loving man not many would do a wonderful thing
How wonderful of you to make good lives for these animals. God Bless you Grieg.
I have always been the one to pick up strays and bring them home. It would be my dream to have a home full senior dogs. It breaks my heart that they will be put down just for being old. Im 62. Do I have to worry about being put down?
Thank you for helping all these senior dogs. You are a very special person.
You are one special person! I have 7 cats, all are rescues but 1. I love the pig, rabbit and bird too!
Where are you Greig, I would marry you, just to have 20 four legged kids together. :) seriously, you are an amazing human being. God bless you!.
Thank you for the love and dignity you are giving these animals. We also adopt senior dogs and know how expensive they can be. Do you have a gofundme page?
I could so go for a man like you!!! All the wonderful friends!!!❤️❤️🐾🐾👍👍🐸✨
Greg, You are an amazing man - my life is dedicate animal rescue, I know the part of your heart these little ones touch. God Bless You
these previously unwanted dogs are lucky to have a second chance in life because of kind people like yourself. good on u.
What a wonderful man you are... I love animals also in March my dog Lailalou passed at the hands of a veterinarian... god bless you Greig...
Yes, God Bless you and I will be praying for blessing and God to help you and your fyrry babies
I would like to thank you from my heart as I love all animals and for taking these lovely dogs in your care. You will be blessed for your good deeds. I love the pictures taken of the dogs.
You are blessed by God with a generous loving and beautiful heart!!!! God bless you always and forever!! xo🌹❤️
You are a very special man to take all these animals into ur life,Senior dogs r awesome,mellow,know what they want,and love to just chill.Someday I would like to start a small rescue and foster geriatric dogs ,as well as medical dogs in need.God Bless u for helping them! J.:-)
that kind of people are rare breed , thank you for having you on earth and for what you are
How do I reach you? I want to personally thank you for what you are doing! Simply amazing. You give me hope that there are people out there that care for animals in such a way that no other does. THANK YOU!!!
I don't know you but I love you and your generous heart. People like you are a poignant reminder that all is not lost in the world.
You are such an amazing generous human being Greig. You have inspired me!! Thankyou 😍
What an amazing life he leads💜I also saw a pig? Cat? Chicken? Just a good man!! Bless him.🐽
Marry me, Greig! I believe we are soul mates. Excellent work, man. :)
May God Bless & Keep You. You will be kept in my thoughts & prayers. You are truly an Angel In Disguise <3 <3
You are one special person what love you have inside you God Bless you
I wish I could find a man that loved animals as much as I do!!! Greig, you are the greatest!!!
You are an angel. thank you for giving those little furry babies a new life.
You are a wonderful, wonderful human being Steve, without you your dogs may have been pts! Instead you have given them many more happy happy years. Mind you one of your *dogs* doesn't look quite right, I can't put my finger on it but there's something a bit odd😜😜😜
We do the same in Spain, we have seven at the moment. Giving a home to older dogs that have been dumped in the pound because their owners don't want them anymore is so rewarding, love them all so much!
Thank you Steve for doing what you are doing. Senior dogs are the very best dogs and I know because I only adopt the oldsters. It is a pleasure and honor to care for these souls because they are so wise and thankful. Bless you.
You indeed are a beautiful person with a HUGE heart, this made my night @ wrk❤ I would love to have mre fur babies.. We need more amazing ppl like you in this world.
You are a man after my own heart. I have yet to find anyone who shares my love of animals as you do. You're a breath of fresh air. Thank you for being who you are.
What a rewarding gift you have given these animals. The photos are priceless.
What a beautiful man you are Greig. One lucky house full of pets. And your home is clean. Special human being, may you stay healthy and well. Thank you for sharing.
Last Saturday (Shabbos) we read the Parsha of Noach (Noah) and then this story of a real-life protector of the animal kingdom. Noah walked with G-d and was a perfectly righteous soul, and helping animals is a good path to follow to walk with G-d.
Steve, this is a beautiful idea and one I've thought about (although I'm not sure I could handle the pig, chicken etc too)...I lost my 15 year old Wheaton in July and the house feels so empty without her...after some traveling, I'm heading straight to the shelter! Who knows, I may bring more than one dog home with me and start a dog hostel:)
What a beautiful and enlightening story of one incredible human being. Thank you for your unconditional love for these fortunate animals! God is smiling❤️🐾🐾
You are awesome Greig...these animals are very lucky to have you as their Dad... BTW ...what about the pig? Is the Pig a rescue also?
You are an angel 😇! Are you single? Lol! Look me up on Facebook! I adore animals sooo much. I would love to have a home on a ton of property for the animals. 💖😍💕
You are a SAINT!! Thank you sooo much for taking care of the unwanted.
You are an amazing saint. Thank you so much for taking in the unwanted!!
You surely have a special crown waiting for you in heaven. Only if everyone could give of themselves like you do the world would be a better place.
Awesome......it is a way of giving back to the well deserved loyal friends that love unconditionally!!! A respectful thanks for stepping up!!
Thats good, but wouldnt it be more impressive if he were taking care of people who need shelter or food instead?
I love your kind spirit! Thank you for saving otherwise likely doomed dogs. I myself have 8. So worth it. I want to know how you walk them all at the same time like that, without their getting tangled up. I never could.
I love you for what you are able to do. Your very special indeed. I adopt when I can...I donate to the humane society but I always wish I could do more. Bless your heart!
Your my hero! I would love to open up a non profit boutique or donation store where people donate their items and we sell them and the profit would go to a shelter or place where people that can't afford surgeries or shots that we could help do that. Please pray God will give me a sign and I would know how to do it.
Seriously adorable pics! Don't know how you get them all to pose but it's awesome! So kind of you! God bless! 😊
It takes a special person to do what you do for senior animals and to be given a second chance
Greig, I am in awe of you! What a precious man you are! And your photos are spectacular!!
I think you are just wonderful, they are so lucky to be in your care, And I am sure that they love you very much!
You are the man of my dreams! This is what I would do if I won the lottery. This and set up a fund for people who cannot afford vet care. Thank you for living my dream!
What a wonderful story! You are an amazing person Steve Greig! God bless you.
You are amazing and inspirational!!! Thank you for having such a big heart!!
My old dog needs a home: http://www.cockerspanielrescue.com/dogs/3499/bartles

I think you're amazing! I'd love to meet you! You obviously have a heart of gold! To open your home and your heart to all these animals is so wonderful! I wish there were more people like you! Hugs!!
Wow you are so amazing. I love your style as well your house is great! Please tell me you live in Los Angeles and you're single... you are just the man I've been looking for!
I absolutely love stories like this! It shows me that humanity still has a chance.
Thank you for adoptions old sick senior dogs and loving them!! And respecting them and making life fun for them!
my belladonna, an american black mouth cur, i got her from the humane society shortly after my beloved husband died of cancer...she protected and brought great joy to my daughter and i ub=n till oldage took her in 2011...blessed be to thee... 2-bella-58...612077.jpg
Animals with a great owner. Should be human ambition across the entire world.
I, too, rescue for Potter's Angels and love it! I am so glad there are people like Steve. My little elderly foster passed away a couple weeks ago. I miss the little guy! DSC07219-5...bbbfef.jpg
Thank you Greg for showing such kindness to these seniors! I wish there were more people like you!👏🙏❤️🐶
I love it, because I am like that! I love ALL animals no matter their, age, disability, look or whatever. I work with rescues, I rescue and I have my own rescues. It is wonderful to know that there are others out there that feel like I do! I wish there were more. Keep up the good work👍
Your awesome. I just moved to COLORADO Springs leaving my elderly heartworm POS.Papillon BC of health concerns with flying and Altitude??? HIW do I ask????
It has been about a month that my baby was taken to heaven. You are a special angel to these creatures. How can you not feel at home with these unconditional loving pets. Lots of luck and keep us posted.
What an absolutely wonderful human being!!! St. Francis approves, I'm sure.
WOW! I think you are one of the most kind, compassionate, generous thoughtful human beings on the planet to do this all by YOURSELF!! I would love to do exactly what you are doing for the senior pups in my area. My drawback are financial and health at the moment. I have 1 pup left - a Hurricane Katrina rescue who is 12 and three senior lady kitties who were thrown away. I do my share but ALWAYS wish I could do much more. Your young age is such a Blessing for you and your family of pets. May the Good Lord Bless you and all your "kids".
Wonderful pictures! And I love your big terrier--is he a wolfhound?
You are a god send for these kids. I just have to ask, what's up with the pig? Was he at the shelter too?
Oh wow! You are amazing! At one time i rescued 20 some cats. You just cant walk away! God bless you.
Greig I'm in love. This is my life long dream. I'd be there in five minutes ( ok) more than five just give a shout out and I'm there to help. You are so blessed to be able to spend your life with these baby dolls. What an amazing privilege.
That is amazing I love hearing things that are positive and knowing im not the only one who loves my animals like this😊
You are a unique and very caring man. These wonderful fur babies are blessed to have your love. Thank you for your kindness
What a wonderful and ORGANIZED person you are, Greig. You make the world a much better place. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! <3
So...gonna read this whole article and not once mention the pig?! I wanna know that guys story.
God bless you Greg and thank you for taking care of these seniors. You are a true Angel.
This is so heartwarming.....I have 6 of my own and the most recent rescue is a 13 year old Maltese....god bless you for opening your home and your heart, I wish there were more people like you!❤️️
We need more humans likes you.....with love and patience. God bless you.
You are an awesome individual! Is there somewhere to donate to help with the expenses?
You are absolutely amazing to take care of these older babies. But what really amazes me is your creative eye taking these photos. I love them.
You're like the sun, only brighter. And I'm here dithering about a fourth dog rescue, saying three dogs and one cat is enough. Perhaps I shall dither no more.
Greig what an awesome thing for you to do. YOU are their ANGEL!
AND ... not one word about the elephant ... er, pig ... in the room!
I think this man is a great,,,,, gentle man ! I wish I could do the same,,,,,, because I also love animals. But I am not in the financial way,,,, to do something like this. BUT I think it's wonderful what he is doing for these animals ! THANK you kind sir !
How does one donate to Greig to help him with the medicines and various diets for the seniors? FYI... I have a cousin (female) in Missouri that has a rescue dog organization that would love to meet you.
Greg should meet Marci Tocker from Oley.. she does the same thing with the OLD animals!
What an absolutely wonderful caring man you are Greig, senior dogs are not always a person's first pick. To give 10 of them a home and love, is very special indeed. Love this kind of story.
A very sweet article, but presumably it's some sort of inside joke to have failed to mention at any stage that one of these 'dogs' is obviously a pig?!
Love what you do I also have taken seniors and handicapped pups
Love this story! If there were more people like him in the world it wouldn't suck as much.
What a blessed man.I wish I could do this..my hubby is not on board.Maybe in the future God will bless me to carry on this the right path
Does anyone know how to contact his special person? I would love to share my story with him and send him my little guy's clothes.
I am speechless....Thats awesome, Man. Even got a pig and a rabbit. May the great Creator and Mother Earth bless you and your furbabies. If we had more people like you in this world, it would be such a peaceful and.loving Earth.
This is amazing! How do you afford it? We have 3 elderly dogs and the vet bills can be astronomical. Do you have assistance for funding? If not, set up something, create a FB page and let us all know about it. Love what you are doing.
Love someone who thinks like me! I have 9 cats and 1 dog all are rescues. And I feed feral cats too. If I can get them friendly enough to get them in a carrier they also get spayed and neutered. I'm working on a black tom outside right now who is starting to get really trusting and just had a young queen walk inside and make herself at home about 2 weeks ago. Her Dr. appt. will be made today.
I know the feeling of losing an older rescued dog...it leaves such an empty spot. I admire you and think you are amazing
I am proud and envious of you Greig. So glad there are people like you around.
We have ten dogs also! Most are rescues, some with medical issues. I don't know how he gets them to all sit still for pictures at the same time. You are a truly special person. With all the terrible cruelty out there, this is refreshing.
And, who doesn't love this guy? My facebook page is filled with the love ;-)
I know how you feel the love is over whelming from my babies! Even my turtles!
You are a man I could love! I have the same dream of saving elderly and unwanted dogs. I have been evicted and I have 7 dogs three are rescues. I cannot bear to part with them but everywhere I go they say it is illegal to have this many. Any suggestions are appreciated and greatly welcomed at this point.
You have a heart of gold, you are a doggie angel.they all look happy and loved.
You are a real inspiration. How these dogs must love you, in their final years you are giving them so much love. x
Greg, My husband and I have 28 rescue dogs. Most are seniors...blind, deaf, one in a doggy wheelie (Cassie is paralyzed). Bless your heart....I often look at all our "kids" and wonder where would they be but for people like you and us...
Keep up the good work. You are indeed a special person. We have two shelter dogs that nobody wanted, they are the sunshine in our lives.
Keep up the great work. You are indeed a special person. We have two shelter dogs that nobody wanted. Theyare the sunshine in our lives.
I think Steve Grieg is a saint and I wish I could do something to help out!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this story!! I am so proud of you. We have a special needs dog sanctuary and know how very hard this all is. http://hopeformany.org If we can ever share, help, etc. please let us know. You made us smile and certainly are saving up blessings in heaven.
What a beautiful man! Thank you for your kindness and selflessness Steve... you are quite an inspiration indeed!
I LOVE YOU! I do the same thing!! I have 3 in carts, 1 deaf and blind, 1 with a teeeeny eye, and 1 whose penis was rotted off in a BAD house (240 dogs, 100+ cats all inside. Piles dead ones in closets. Poo 2 FEET deep.) And I LOVE the pig, too!!!
Not a Man but an Angel ... I have more respect and love for this Angel than many supposed star
Greg, you are the Man! I too have just inherited a 15 yr dog. after the owner died.
I love this man. What a happy house to live in with all of those wonderful animals. You are my soulmate. :-)
I sincerely would like to know how he can afford this. My husband and I said goodbye to our pug months ago. Would love to do something like this but aging pets became pricey fast.

Load More Replies...You are a wonderful person and friend. I so admire you. I only have 3 rescued dogs and 8 abandoned cats, that is nothing compared to you. I hope you have enough finances or do you need help?
How wonderful that you adopted those wonderful Dogs.God Bless you Carolyn
You are really a great man and if you don't mind me asking but where do you live? You look really familiar I live in Mi.
Hiya Greig!!! You are wonderful and so are your lovely pets. Hats off to you and many oinks, woofs, clucks and quacks to your family members!!!
Wow you are an amazing person. Great job and thank you for having such a big heart.
Bless you Steve for loving these wonderful babies. I wish there more like you
Do you need an assistant ?? (Jk) I lost my white poodle 2 months ago and the poodle in the pictures looks like my buddy RADAR....you are an amazing person...
You're awesome Greig! This is exactly what I want to do when I retire!!
You are a good person with a good heart! I know you are being blessed every single day! Way to go!!!!!
Fantastic! I love you and don't even know you. But we all know if someone has loved a dog they know true, unconditional love. You must be a kind and gentle man. May God bless you always!
This story made me cry tears of happiness and restores faith in humanity :)
I wish some humans would take lessons from you to just open their black hearts. So many dump elder dogs that they had for years at kill shelters. I just don't understand people. The older the better. Love is love young, sick, or old. God love you and bless you and your troop.
What an incredible human being. A true loving soul!! I will always believe in adopting the "undesirable" pet. I have 2 cats with health issues since they were kittens. They would probably have been put down had I not adopted them. They give me so much love, more then I could ever hope for. They cost me a small fortune but to me, its money well spent.
What a kind soul you are Steve. Old dogs are wise and need love and affection. Thank you for adopting the least adoptable. You really know how to take the cutest pictures of these buddies. I feel good all over just reading about and viewing your pictures of these precious dogs! Keep up the great work.
What a special person!! I wish I had the space and the money to do this too.
I dont comment on stories often, but this is worthy of comment. What a wonderful way to pay tribute to your old friend, by making new friends with old dogs. I volunteer at a shelter and the old dogs are my favorite because they are so full of love. You are a good man Greig.
Every time I feel really down I come here to read the story again and look at Steve's beautiful babies.
Yes, there was. Last paragraph -- He has a pig named Bikini.
Load More Replies...I'm wondering where you live. I'd like to help. I do much the same...our days are never boring, eh?
Thank you so much for the wonderful life you are giving these deserving animal's.
Wonderful compassionate human being. More like Gregg needed. I love him.
How do you do this? We have a 3 pet limit here. 3 TOTAL, of any animals.
My heart is warmed and humanity encouraged when I read such stories. You are a special man, kind, compassionate. I too am happy that these dogs are loved. I also hope many more people look to rescues for their pets. I have always adopted older dogs, and have never had to house break anyone, wait for the annoying puppy behaviors to stop, and enjoy the calmness of an older dog. I see your home is fairly minimalist so that must help with keeping down the dog hair! ;)
You are a very special person to do this! I think this is amazing and I am so proud of what you are doing. God Bless you and your family!
I wish there more humans like you , God bless you and your seniors ,you are truly amazing !!
Giving love to unloved is the ultimate charity. Bravo to all the big hearted people! Love you.
I want to be like you when I grow up. That's great what you're doing for those babies. Keep up the good fight brother!
I want to be like you when I grow up. That's great what you're doing for those babies and keep up the good fight brother :-)
I would love to have found and married a guy like you, I've always loved adopting older dogs and always stop to help an animal in distress, it's like second nature to me , thank you for caring and helping your little guys have such a good life, you are a very special person xx
You are one of the angels among us who is here to protect the animals. Thank you for what you do.
That's a real man! Long, healthy and happy life to Greig and his family!
a very special man and these dogs are so very lucky and yet owners dump their senior pets due to pet health, too old. they could learn from this man.
God bless you richly for your kindness and the love you are giving to all these animals
What a guy! You Sir have my highest admiration and your pets have the best Dad ever. Cheers!
if all human beings were like Steve ;this would truly be a "wonderful world"
I could so be like you if I owned my home again. The more the merrier!
Great job Greig, my best friend Belinda does the same thing in Brandon Florida!
BEYOND AWESOME !! Great pictures !! Thank you for sharing your story. You made my heart smile.
Greig you are extremely generous and loving towards all animals you are an inspiration to all of us
GOD BLESS YOUR BEAUTIFUL HEART MAY YOU GET ALL THE SUPPORT YOU NEED IN ALL YOUR GOOD WORKS
God Bless you Greig! Over the years, I taken in many stray dogs and giving them best years of their lives. I also take care of many feral cats, have them fixed and give them shelter in the winter months. I wish I could adopt more older dogs but finances are tough, with three kids going to college. I hope some day more money comes my way so I too can do what you do. Keep up the good work!
I have "only" three dogs, one is 17 years old and was diagnosed with a a**l melanoma a couple of days ago. There's nothing to do but let him live for as long as he will be able to with a good quality of life. You, adopting all these aging pets - I have not enough adjectives to praise what you do!
Thats just great, bet they love u too...thanks for the unselfish service to them !
I love the pictures! Thanks for being who you are! I have a dog and three cats and love them dearly!
Just a pig...named Bikini, according to the article.
Load More Replies...You have made all their lives so much happier. I also love that you have a rabbit and a pig. You and they are surrounded in love. Who could ask for anything more?
What a beautiful soul. I sure wish I could find a man like him. I love these doggies especially the two little Chihuahuas. I rescued a Chihuahua myself and she gives me more joy that my children do. Kudos to this generous loving man. May God bless you all for years to come.
You are incredible. Love your generosity and understanding that these animals need and deserve to be pampered. Is the house next door to you vacant??;)
Good thing about taking photos with old dogs is they are much less inclined to move.
I hope he's got a lot of stock in Swiffer Mops! Seriously though, from what shelter is he finding all the adorable little fuzzies? I visit my shelters on a fairly regular basis, and they're filled with nothing but labs and pit bulls.
They are blessed. I love senior animals. Thank you so many times over.
I am so happy for you; you are brave as you know you wont have them for very long. I have always told people that the older pets become, the more precious they become. I know this from my own experiences, and it is what I used to tell my old mother. I get so sick of seeing what horrible humans there are in the world, so when I read about somebody like you, it restores some faith in some human natures.
oh wow you are helping save a lot of dogs. I really glad this world has people like you.
You are the best Steve Greig!! Your photos make me giggle with happiness.
Thank you, Greig, is prob. what all your dogs think every single day! :-)
Through pain and loss something very beautiful has taken seed and grown.
OH MY GOD!!! THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. THESE ANIMALS ARE SO SPECIAL. AND I LOVE THUS GUY. This would be my dream man--someone so incredibly loving, creative, and purposeful. LOVE this post.
What a beautiful family. I adore senior dogs and would like to have a few at home. Hubby says no! Ali x
Name is Bikini. Re-read the article...last paragraph.
Load More Replies...This is amazing, for all these dogs!! <3 But I would be emotionally wrecked knowing we don't have a lot of time to share...
Amazing and I am full of respect for him, but sometimes I think the counterpart of a crazy cat lady is a crazy dog guy
She was mentioned - "Greig also has a pig named Bikini, as well as two ducks, pigeons, cats and a few chickens."
Load More Replies...You are a special breed of human Greig, thanks for being an inspiration!!!
For sure...Greig is living hope for all that has been forgotten...
Load More Replies...I am beyond amazed at your generosity. You are a truly an amazing human being!
I also have 10 rescue dogs ranging from 2 yrs to 14. people think I'm mad... they dont understand obviously. WIsh more people would adopt rescue dogs instead of wanting "a cute little puppy" Adult dogs are a lot less trouble ... Goldie Oldies (dogs) are the Tops eh? HPIM1630.jpg
They are adorable. You are an angel. I have 12 rescue cats.
Load More Replies...Just like to say what a amazing person to offer 10 dogs a forever loving home & shows there are still humans out there. I have 3 wonderful dogs who where from an animal centre & wouldn't be without them. They give so much back. They are so cute.
I bow to you, Steve! You are my hero! It is good to know that angels still walk on Earth...!!
lovely deerhound...and yes you are amazing, I would love to do the same. Dogs are better than most humans..:)
We built a camp for old dogs called Shady Pines at a shelter in Cape Town South Africa.I love old dogs so much as they rarely are the ones that get adopted .I have adopted 3 out of Shady Pines and we totally adore them .Well done Grieg i wish more people were like you and would adopt the seniors .
I'm jealous, it's my dream to have that many animals and help so many too. You're a great guy.
It is so unusual to find a man like that. Its amazing whatever it is, I am happy for the animals, even piggy 😄. Its all so sweet. Hard work too and expensive. Good luck, best wishes to all of you, love you all. Xxxx 😄😄
Wonderful! Keep it up, you are an amazing person. Would love to know more about the pig :)
You are one special disciple of God for all you do for these beautiful Dogs. Your heart is blessed and nothing but Good Karma to you good Sir!
What a beautiful story 1 man has for animals if all cared this way no more wars
God bless you. You've got a big heart and I know your fur babies never take it for granted. It's the purest love you receive from a pet. They're not just animals, but family.
Miracles happens, we just do not realize but here is one, besides, what a good photographer you are
No miracle here, just goodwill,daily dedication,responsibility, empathy,kindness and generosity.Let's give the credits to whom deserves them
Load More Replies...The world needs more people who love and care for animals and people- you are a great inspiration for love and sharing
What a wonderful thing to do! I wish I could take every dog ever abandoned and give them the home they deserve! You are amazing. God Bless!!
Amazing, although tbh I was waiting for the pig to be mentioned.
Beautiful man beautiful story beautiful creatures, makes me happy to be human
What a guy you are. They appreciate you. Just the fact they are so good about posing shows that. I'm a pet/housesitter and take care of many older dogs, some on medications. Two or three is a lot. Helping these sweet dogs, pig and rabbit spend their later days in comfort- priceless!
You are an incredible human being! Those dogs as well as the others got very, very lucky. It makes me so happy for them and you!!
Greig you are truly an angel on earth! 😇💖🐶Saving all these sweet precious puppies! 🥰
God Bless you !!! Your beautiful story commands respect. You are a wonderful human being. You brightened up my life with your selfless charity. I love you and all you do !!!
I just love u devotion and live for these animals I wish more people would feel like u do and give that much devotion love and care to animals the world would be a better place
You are an Earth Angel !! God bless your BIG Compassionate heart!! 💖💖💖💖💖
Thank you for thinking of the older dogs! They are the ones that won’t get picked, and it shreds my heart into pieces to think that they will die alone and unloved in a dog pound. They are my soft spot. Thank you, thank you!!!
I think ypu are one Amazing Man..I know God is Blessing you....prayers for all your little ones......and big ones....I wish there were more like you
We need more true angels like you in the world, You & your furry kids are a truly blessed! Most of my friends have fur or feathers. Bet you'd be an excellent father. Keep up the awesome person that you are.
You are beyond incredible!! I LOVE YOU😘😘😘😘 How can people donate money or item to you???? Thank you Thank you Thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💕💕💕💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💓💓💓❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💖💖💖💖💖
My Hero, thank God for people like you. Bless you and all your babies. Amazing.
Hi Steve Greig I am all the time looking for a better world, but I just believe when I can see people like you like me, In Brazil I use to JUST adopt normally pregnat abandoned cats. For sure they bring me happiness!!!
I have been following you for a long time. Those animals in your care are Soooo Lucky to have you❤️
You have a wonderful soul .The dogs look so content and happy.Bless you.
Dear Grieg, If you would like a person to help you with them ( I am a married woman) interested in animals and friendship, please let me know.
I greatly admire your generous spirit and your compassion. Great work.
What a wonderful heart you have for these special babies, thank you.
4 of my 5 dogs adopted me! I bought my 15 1/2 old Rat Terrier. I admire you SO much! I wish the world had more tender-hearted people like you. God bless you!
man after my own heart, that's so wonderful thank you or your kindness
This man is a saint. I hope to do the same when I retire. Such inspiration!!! ❤️
He stole my heart & he doesn't even know it. A man with that much compassion & patience is worth wanting to know!
Bravo. I admire you so much for giving these precious animals a wonderful carefree life - how awesome to have so many friends.
Wow! You really ROCK! God bless you and I hope you have a wonderful life!!
How can I find this amazing fella to inquire and donate ? No face book page?
thank you for your kinda heart,and such a perfect way to remember your belove dog.
Greig, you are AWESOME!! Obviously you have a talent for photography as well, the pictures are wonderful! I would love to meet you sometime.
Greig, are you married?? Would love to meet you, you are a REAL MAN!!
Great article. Love to see someone turn heartache into a happy ending for another. www.bullydevotion.com
Love to see someone turn heartache into a happy ending for another. www.bullydevotion.com
I'm a softy for four legged friends in need also. You are an angel to them. Your dog that passed sent you on a wonderful journey of healing. I wish I could also be able to follow the journey of helping animals. God Bless!
You've earned many jewels for your heavenly crown. God bless you.
What a wonderful man. & what lucky dogs. Thats a whole lot of love. xxx
You are a hero to all dogs. Hopefully your story will inspire others to adopt senior dogs. They look so loved!
You are a beautiful soul. God Bless you and all you do for those fur babies. 🙏🏼
GREG, great job, what goes around comes around. I have 5 , keeps me busy.
I know how you feel Greig and think you're fantastic. I did almost the same thing, only with kitties. I had one (only one) for 17 years and he was my buddy, my kid. We went through so much together. Now I have 8. One with diabetes, one with cardio-myopathy, 2 with asthma, one that's allergic to everything, one with bad knees that slip in and out of joint, one has stomach problems and 2 that were concidered unadoptable and brought back 3 times and were on the way to be put down due to attitude problems. There are tough days but everyday is full of laughter and mischief and they are all so appreciative and full of love. Luckily I have a good vet that works with me. I have learned to adapt by doing things like using baby pools instead of standard litter boxes. And no, my house doesn't smell, I clean a couple times a day. It starts with medications and ends with brushing and treats (kitty crack). It's a great feeling to have so much inspiration and unconditional love.
I love this man and his adorable senior dogs. He inspired me to do more. I have pets and now, I ask myself, can I do more? Can I afford more pets? Thank you💖😻🐶
Brought tears to my eyes and a smile to my face. What a wonderful human bean you are Grieg. What a beautiful array of creatures you have. I envy you. Although I have 8 cats myself.
You're a beautiful human, Steve! Truly making a good impact on the world. Thank you, it would be amazing if even one person saw this & decided not only to adopt but adopt a senior pet.
You are an Saving Angel for these sweethearts! I would so love to be able to do what you have done, Thank You for what you are doing for these cuties, they need you just as much as you need them!
I think this is beautiful..I can't have a pet where I live but you are a special person to take care of these elderly animals the way you do..GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR ANIMALS.
I have a special love for Greig because this is what he was assigned to do during his earthly journey. If you ever have need for a few dollars to help you with your mission, please contact me at sameera41@comcast.net. I shall be glad to lend a hand. I, too, am an animal lover.
Wow I wish I could do that. I'm only allowed 3 dogs at my house or Animal control will write me a ticket and make me get rid of the extra dogs. But my neighbor next door has 3 bedrooms and 4 families living there. Does that sound fair???
A big "THANK YOU' to you for what you are doing. May God bless you and your little friends always. They are so very blessed to have you.
I so get this. My old dog was blind and mostly deaf. He was an adorable goofball. once he left my yard to explore the block. I still smile about that. Special place in my heart for senile old dogs.
Beautiful home, beautiful pictures, beautiful life, beautiful soul. They look so loved, comforted and happy. You are inspiring!
There is a special place in Heaven for you. God Bless You and your furbabies.
Greig, are you married? I can't do as much as you can afford to do, but I am doing my best with 8 rescued pets. It is a wonderful way to live. Very rewarding!
What a beautiful human. We should all aspire to be "kind and compassionate". With respect. :-) X
Never mind singers, sportsmen, "celebrities", you are the sort of person I would knight and make a "Sir", if I had the ability to do so. People like you Greig are very special, and should be acknowledged as such.
Many blessings be upon you! (You DO know that one of your dogs is a pig, right?)
Pig: "Day 109, the Chihuahua is beginning to suspect me, but I seem to have earned everyone else's trust."
What an amazing beautiful spirit you are,God has defiantly blessed you with a compassionate,loving heart & soul...there is a no better feeling then giving a helpless ,voiceless angel a chance at truly knowing love,life,family,security...I have 10 furbabies too,they brighten my every day and I tend to enjoy their company over some humans...they defiantly give us way more to our lives then we know...I sure wished the world could learn to open their hearts & homes to these unfortunate loyal,loving angels...this story warmed my heart and made me smile 🤓❤️🐾❤️🐾💜🐾💜🐾 what your doing for these beautiful angels is the most unselfish ,kind thing,they have someone to care and love them in life....that's everything to them.God bless you Greg and your precious loves...I admire you for your beautiful soul....❤️🐾💛🐾💙🐾💜🐾💚🐾☮☦✝❤️🤓
Your story warmed My heart so much! I just wish that there were a Lot more people like You In this World. I run a web site and there are always so many pets that people have abandoned, and just left totally helpless. I only allow post for pets In My group for Pet's that have been Lost, or abandoned and need fur ever homes. I always Help keep the post pined at the Top of my web site, to be sure that they all find a good and loving home. To me,. People that just abandon their poor helpless pets, are beyond low and just don't have a heart,. that's my opinion anyway. May GOD continue to pour out a Blessing on You that You can Not contain, because You sure do deserve It! I have -4- fur babies, and they keep Me busy 24/7/365,. so I can only Imagine how busy You must stay taking care of ll of these precious gifts from GOD! Thank for all that You do. GOD Bless You always, from one pet lover to another! ;-) "Minister Debbie Montgomery Farmer". ;-)
What an awesome thing to do. I have a little rat-chihuahua and can not bare to think of those little sensitive guys in shelters...I am debating picking up 2 tomorrow. You will get back the love you are giving them all. Xo
What a kind and loving man not many would do a wonderful thing
How wonderful of you to make good lives for these animals. God Bless you Grieg.
I have always been the one to pick up strays and bring them home. It would be my dream to have a home full senior dogs. It breaks my heart that they will be put down just for being old. Im 62. Do I have to worry about being put down?
Thank you for helping all these senior dogs. You are a very special person.
You are one special person! I have 7 cats, all are rescues but 1. I love the pig, rabbit and bird too!
Where are you Greig, I would marry you, just to have 20 four legged kids together. :) seriously, you are an amazing human being. God bless you!.
Thank you for the love and dignity you are giving these animals. We also adopt senior dogs and know how expensive they can be. Do you have a gofundme page?
I could so go for a man like you!!! All the wonderful friends!!!❤️❤️🐾🐾👍👍🐸✨
Greg, You are an amazing man - my life is dedicate animal rescue, I know the part of your heart these little ones touch. God Bless You
these previously unwanted dogs are lucky to have a second chance in life because of kind people like yourself. good on u.
What a wonderful man you are... I love animals also in March my dog Lailalou passed at the hands of a veterinarian... god bless you Greig...
Yes, God Bless you and I will be praying for blessing and God to help you and your fyrry babies
I would like to thank you from my heart as I love all animals and for taking these lovely dogs in your care. You will be blessed for your good deeds. I love the pictures taken of the dogs.
You are blessed by God with a generous loving and beautiful heart!!!! God bless you always and forever!! xo🌹❤️
You are a very special man to take all these animals into ur life,Senior dogs r awesome,mellow,know what they want,and love to just chill.Someday I would like to start a small rescue and foster geriatric dogs ,as well as medical dogs in need.God Bless u for helping them! J.:-)
that kind of people are rare breed , thank you for having you on earth and for what you are
How do I reach you? I want to personally thank you for what you are doing! Simply amazing. You give me hope that there are people out there that care for animals in such a way that no other does. THANK YOU!!!
I don't know you but I love you and your generous heart. People like you are a poignant reminder that all is not lost in the world.
You are such an amazing generous human being Greig. You have inspired me!! Thankyou 😍
What an amazing life he leads💜I also saw a pig? Cat? Chicken? Just a good man!! Bless him.🐽
Marry me, Greig! I believe we are soul mates. Excellent work, man. :)
May God Bless & Keep You. You will be kept in my thoughts & prayers. You are truly an Angel In Disguise <3 <3
You are one special person what love you have inside you God Bless you
I wish I could find a man that loved animals as much as I do!!! Greig, you are the greatest!!!
You are an angel. thank you for giving those little furry babies a new life.
You are a wonderful, wonderful human being Steve, without you your dogs may have been pts! Instead you have given them many more happy happy years. Mind you one of your *dogs* doesn't look quite right, I can't put my finger on it but there's something a bit odd😜😜😜
We do the same in Spain, we have seven at the moment. Giving a home to older dogs that have been dumped in the pound because their owners don't want them anymore is so rewarding, love them all so much!
Thank you Steve for doing what you are doing. Senior dogs are the very best dogs and I know because I only adopt the oldsters. It is a pleasure and honor to care for these souls because they are so wise and thankful. Bless you.
You indeed are a beautiful person with a HUGE heart, this made my night @ wrk❤ I would love to have mre fur babies.. We need more amazing ppl like you in this world.
You are a man after my own heart. I have yet to find anyone who shares my love of animals as you do. You're a breath of fresh air. Thank you for being who you are.
What a rewarding gift you have given these animals. The photos are priceless.
What a beautiful man you are Greig. One lucky house full of pets. And your home is clean. Special human being, may you stay healthy and well. Thank you for sharing.
Last Saturday (Shabbos) we read the Parsha of Noach (Noah) and then this story of a real-life protector of the animal kingdom. Noah walked with G-d and was a perfectly righteous soul, and helping animals is a good path to follow to walk with G-d.
Steve, this is a beautiful idea and one I've thought about (although I'm not sure I could handle the pig, chicken etc too)...I lost my 15 year old Wheaton in July and the house feels so empty without her...after some traveling, I'm heading straight to the shelter! Who knows, I may bring more than one dog home with me and start a dog hostel:)
What a beautiful and enlightening story of one incredible human being. Thank you for your unconditional love for these fortunate animals! God is smiling❤️🐾🐾
You are awesome Greig...these animals are very lucky to have you as their Dad... BTW ...what about the pig? Is the Pig a rescue also?
You are an angel 😇! Are you single? Lol! Look me up on Facebook! I adore animals sooo much. I would love to have a home on a ton of property for the animals. 💖😍💕
You are a SAINT!! Thank you sooo much for taking care of the unwanted.
You are an amazing saint. Thank you so much for taking in the unwanted!!
You surely have a special crown waiting for you in heaven. Only if everyone could give of themselves like you do the world would be a better place.
Awesome......it is a way of giving back to the well deserved loyal friends that love unconditionally!!! A respectful thanks for stepping up!!
Thats good, but wouldnt it be more impressive if he were taking care of people who need shelter or food instead?
I love your kind spirit! Thank you for saving otherwise likely doomed dogs. I myself have 8. So worth it. I want to know how you walk them all at the same time like that, without their getting tangled up. I never could.
I love you for what you are able to do. Your very special indeed. I adopt when I can...I donate to the humane society but I always wish I could do more. Bless your heart!
Your my hero! I would love to open up a non profit boutique or donation store where people donate their items and we sell them and the profit would go to a shelter or place where people that can't afford surgeries or shots that we could help do that. Please pray God will give me a sign and I would know how to do it.
Seriously adorable pics! Don't know how you get them all to pose but it's awesome! So kind of you! God bless! 😊
It takes a special person to do what you do for senior animals and to be given a second chance
Greig, I am in awe of you! What a precious man you are! And your photos are spectacular!!
I think you are just wonderful, they are so lucky to be in your care, And I am sure that they love you very much!
You are the man of my dreams! This is what I would do if I won the lottery. This and set up a fund for people who cannot afford vet care. Thank you for living my dream!
What a wonderful story! You are an amazing person Steve Greig! God bless you.
You are amazing and inspirational!!! Thank you for having such a big heart!!
My old dog needs a home: http://www.cockerspanielrescue.com/dogs/3499/bartles

I think you're amazing! I'd love to meet you! You obviously have a heart of gold! To open your home and your heart to all these animals is so wonderful! I wish there were more people like you! Hugs!!
Wow you are so amazing. I love your style as well your house is great! Please tell me you live in Los Angeles and you're single... you are just the man I've been looking for!
I absolutely love stories like this! It shows me that humanity still has a chance.
Thank you for adoptions old sick senior dogs and loving them!! And respecting them and making life fun for them!
my belladonna, an american black mouth cur, i got her from the humane society shortly after my beloved husband died of cancer...she protected and brought great joy to my daughter and i ub=n till oldage took her in 2011...blessed be to thee... 2-bella-58...612077.jpg
Animals with a great owner. Should be human ambition across the entire world.
I, too, rescue for Potter's Angels and love it! I am so glad there are people like Steve. My little elderly foster passed away a couple weeks ago. I miss the little guy! DSC07219-5...bbbfef.jpg
Thank you Greg for showing such kindness to these seniors! I wish there were more people like you!👏🙏❤️🐶
I love it, because I am like that! I love ALL animals no matter their, age, disability, look or whatever. I work with rescues, I rescue and I have my own rescues. It is wonderful to know that there are others out there that feel like I do! I wish there were more. Keep up the good work👍
Your awesome. I just moved to COLORADO Springs leaving my elderly heartworm POS.Papillon BC of health concerns with flying and Altitude??? HIW do I ask????
It has been about a month that my baby was taken to heaven. You are a special angel to these creatures. How can you not feel at home with these unconditional loving pets. Lots of luck and keep us posted.
What an absolutely wonderful human being!!! St. Francis approves, I'm sure.
WOW! I think you are one of the most kind, compassionate, generous thoughtful human beings on the planet to do this all by YOURSELF!! I would love to do exactly what you are doing for the senior pups in my area. My drawback are financial and health at the moment. I have 1 pup left - a Hurricane Katrina rescue who is 12 and three senior lady kitties who were thrown away. I do my share but ALWAYS wish I could do much more. Your young age is such a Blessing for you and your family of pets. May the Good Lord Bless you and all your "kids".
Wonderful pictures! And I love your big terrier--is he a wolfhound?
You are a god send for these kids. I just have to ask, what's up with the pig? Was he at the shelter too?
Oh wow! You are amazing! At one time i rescued 20 some cats. You just cant walk away! God bless you.
Greig I'm in love. This is my life long dream. I'd be there in five minutes ( ok) more than five just give a shout out and I'm there to help. You are so blessed to be able to spend your life with these baby dolls. What an amazing privilege.
That is amazing I love hearing things that are positive and knowing im not the only one who loves my animals like this😊
You are a unique and very caring man. These wonderful fur babies are blessed to have your love. Thank you for your kindness
What a wonderful and ORGANIZED person you are, Greig. You make the world a much better place. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! <3
So...gonna read this whole article and not once mention the pig?! I wanna know that guys story.
God bless you Greg and thank you for taking care of these seniors. You are a true Angel.
This is so heartwarming.....I have 6 of my own and the most recent rescue is a 13 year old Maltese....god bless you for opening your home and your heart, I wish there were more people like you!❤️️
We need more humans likes you.....with love and patience. God bless you.
You are an awesome individual! Is there somewhere to donate to help with the expenses?
You are absolutely amazing to take care of these older babies. But what really amazes me is your creative eye taking these photos. I love them.
You're like the sun, only brighter. And I'm here dithering about a fourth dog rescue, saying three dogs and one cat is enough. Perhaps I shall dither no more.
Greig what an awesome thing for you to do. YOU are their ANGEL!
AND ... not one word about the elephant ... er, pig ... in the room!
I think this man is a great,,,,, gentle man ! I wish I could do the same,,,,,, because I also love animals. But I am not in the financial way,,,, to do something like this. BUT I think it's wonderful what he is doing for these animals ! THANK you kind sir !
How does one donate to Greig to help him with the medicines and various diets for the seniors? FYI... I have a cousin (female) in Missouri that has a rescue dog organization that would love to meet you.
Greg should meet Marci Tocker from Oley.. she does the same thing with the OLD animals!
What an absolutely wonderful caring man you are Greig, senior dogs are not always a person's first pick. To give 10 of them a home and love, is very special indeed. Love this kind of story.
A very sweet article, but presumably it's some sort of inside joke to have failed to mention at any stage that one of these 'dogs' is obviously a pig?!
Love what you do I also have taken seniors and handicapped pups
Love this story! If there were more people like him in the world it wouldn't suck as much.
What a blessed man.I wish I could do this..my hubby is not on board.Maybe in the future God will bless me to carry on this the right path
Does anyone know how to contact his special person? I would love to share my story with him and send him my little guy's clothes.
I am speechless....Thats awesome, Man. Even got a pig and a rabbit. May the great Creator and Mother Earth bless you and your furbabies. If we had more people like you in this world, it would be such a peaceful and.loving Earth.
This is amazing! How do you afford it? We have 3 elderly dogs and the vet bills can be astronomical. Do you have assistance for funding? If not, set up something, create a FB page and let us all know about it. Love what you are doing.
Love someone who thinks like me! I have 9 cats and 1 dog all are rescues. And I feed feral cats too. If I can get them friendly enough to get them in a carrier they also get spayed and neutered. I'm working on a black tom outside right now who is starting to get really trusting and just had a young queen walk inside and make herself at home about 2 weeks ago. Her Dr. appt. will be made today.
I know the feeling of losing an older rescued dog...it leaves such an empty spot. I admire you and think you are amazing
I am proud and envious of you Greig. So glad there are people like you around.
We have ten dogs also! Most are rescues, some with medical issues. I don't know how he gets them to all sit still for pictures at the same time. You are a truly special person. With all the terrible cruelty out there, this is refreshing.
And, who doesn't love this guy? My facebook page is filled with the love ;-)
I know how you feel the love is over whelming from my babies! Even my turtles!
You are a man I could love! I have the same dream of saving elderly and unwanted dogs. I have been evicted and I have 7 dogs three are rescues. I cannot bear to part with them but everywhere I go they say it is illegal to have this many. Any suggestions are appreciated and greatly welcomed at this point.
You have a heart of gold, you are a doggie angel.they all look happy and loved.
You are a real inspiration. How these dogs must love you, in their final years you are giving them so much love. x
Greg, My husband and I have 28 rescue dogs. Most are seniors...blind, deaf, one in a doggy wheelie (Cassie is paralyzed). Bless your heart....I often look at all our "kids" and wonder where would they be but for people like you and us...
Keep up the good work. You are indeed a special person. We have two shelter dogs that nobody wanted, they are the sunshine in our lives.

I think Steve Grieg is a saint and I wish I could do something to help out!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this story!! I am so proud of you. We have a special needs dog sanctuary and know how very hard this all is. http://hopeformany.org If we can ever share, help, etc. please let us know. You made us smile and certainly are saving up blessings in heaven.
What a beautiful man! Thank you for your kindness and selflessness Steve... you are quite an inspiration indeed!
I LOVE YOU! I do the same thing!! I have 3 in carts, 1 deaf and blind, 1 with a teeeeny eye, and 1 whose penis was rotted off in a BAD house (240 dogs, 100+ cats all inside. Piles dead ones in closets. Poo 2 FEET deep.) And I LOVE the pig, too!!!
Not a Man but an Angel ... I have more respect and love for this Angel than many supposed star
Greg, you are the Man! I too have just inherited a 15 yr dog. after the owner died.
I love this man. What a happy house to live in with all of those wonderful animals. You are my soulmate. :-)
I sincerely would like to know how he can afford this. My husband and I said goodbye to our pug months ago. Would love to do something like this but aging pets became pricey fast.

Load More Replies...You are a wonderful person and friend. I so admire you. I only have 3 rescued dogs and 8 abandoned cats, that is nothing compared to you. I hope you have enough finances or do you need help?
How wonderful that you adopted those wonderful Dogs.God Bless you Carolyn
You are really a great man and if you don't mind me asking but where do you live? You look really familiar I live in Mi.
Hiya Greig!!! You are wonderful and so are your lovely pets. Hats off to you and many oinks, woofs, clucks and quacks to your family members!!!
Wow you are an amazing person. Great job and thank you for having such a big heart.
Bless you Steve for loving these wonderful babies. I wish there more like you
Do you need an assistant ?? (Jk) I lost my white poodle 2 months ago and the poodle in the pictures looks like my buddy RADAR....you are an amazing person...
You're awesome Greig! This is exactly what I want to do when I retire!!
You are a good person with a good heart! I know you are being blessed every single day! Way to go!!!!!
Fantastic! I love you and don't even know you. But we all know if someone has loved a dog they know true, unconditional love. You must be a kind and gentle man. May God bless you always!
This story made me cry tears of happiness and restores faith in humanity :)
I wish some humans would take lessons from you to just open their black hearts. So many dump elder dogs that they had for years at kill shelters. I just don't understand people. The older the better. Love is love young, sick, or old. God love you and bless you and your troop.
What an incredible human being. A true loving soul!! I will always believe in adopting the "undesirable" pet. I have 2 cats with health issues since they were kittens. They would probably have been put down had I not adopted them. They give me so much love, more then I could ever hope for. They cost me a small fortune but to me, its money well spent.
What a kind soul you are Steve. Old dogs are wise and need love and affection. Thank you for adopting the least adoptable. You really know how to take the cutest pictures of these buddies. I feel good all over just reading about and viewing your pictures of these precious dogs! Keep up the great work.
What a special person!! I wish I had the space and the money to do this too.
I dont comment on stories often, but this is worthy of comment. What a wonderful way to pay tribute to your old friend, by making new friends with old dogs. I volunteer at a shelter and the old dogs are my favorite because they are so full of love. You are a good man Greig.
Every time I feel really down I come here to read the story again and look at Steve's beautiful babies.
Yes, there was. Last paragraph -- He has a pig named Bikini.
Load More Replies...I'm wondering where you live. I'd like to help. I do much the same...our days are never boring, eh?
Thank you so much for the wonderful life you are giving these deserving animal's.
Wonderful compassionate human being. More like Gregg needed. I love him.
How do you do this? We have a 3 pet limit here. 3 TOTAL, of any animals.
My heart is warmed and humanity encouraged when I read such stories. You are a special man, kind, compassionate. I too am happy that these dogs are loved. I also hope many more people look to rescues for their pets. I have always adopted older dogs, and have never had to house break anyone, wait for the annoying puppy behaviors to stop, and enjoy the calmness of an older dog. I see your home is fairly minimalist so that must help with keeping down the dog hair! ;)
You are a very special person to do this! I think this is amazing and I am so proud of what you are doing. God Bless you and your family!
I wish there more humans like you , God bless you and your seniors ,you are truly amazing !!
Giving love to unloved is the ultimate charity. Bravo to all the big hearted people! Love you.
I want to be like you when I grow up. That's great what you're doing for those babies. Keep up the good fight brother!

I would love to have found and married a guy like you, I've always loved adopting older dogs and always stop to help an animal in distress, it's like second nature to me , thank you for caring and helping your little guys have such a good life, you are a very special person xx
You are one of the angels among us who is here to protect the animals. Thank you for what you do.
That's a real man! Long, healthy and happy life to Greig and his family!
a very special man and these dogs are so very lucky and yet owners dump their senior pets due to pet health, too old. they could learn from this man.
God bless you richly for your kindness and the love you are giving to all these animals
What a guy! You Sir have my highest admiration and your pets have the best Dad ever. Cheers!
if all human beings were like Steve ;this would truly be a "wonderful world"
I could so be like you if I owned my home again. The more the merrier!
Great job Greig, my best friend Belinda does the same thing in Brandon Florida!
BEYOND AWESOME !! Great pictures !! Thank you for sharing your story. You made my heart smile.
Greig you are extremely generous and loving towards all animals you are an inspiration to all of us
GOD BLESS YOUR BEAUTIFUL HEART MAY YOU GET ALL THE SUPPORT YOU NEED IN ALL YOUR GOOD WORKS
God Bless you Greig! Over the years, I taken in many stray dogs and giving them best years of their lives. I also take care of many feral cats, have them fixed and give them shelter in the winter months. I wish I could adopt more older dogs but finances are tough, with three kids going to college. I hope some day more money comes my way so I too can do what you do. Keep up the good work!
I have "only" three dogs, one is 17 years old and was diagnosed with a a**l melanoma a couple of days ago. There's nothing to do but let him live for as long as he will be able to with a good quality of life. You, adopting all these aging pets - I have not enough adjectives to praise what you do!
Thats just great, bet they love u too...thanks for the unselfish service to them !
I love the pictures! Thanks for being who you are! I have a dog and three cats and love them dearly!
Just a pig...named Bikini, according to the article.
Load More Replies...You have made all their lives so much happier. I also love that you have a rabbit and a pig. You and they are surrounded in love. Who could ask for anything more?
What a beautiful soul. I sure wish I could find a man like him. I love these doggies especially the two little Chihuahuas. I rescued a Chihuahua myself and she gives me more joy that my children do. Kudos to this generous loving man. May God bless you all for years to come.
You are incredible. Love your generosity and understanding that these animals need and deserve to be pampered. Is the house next door to you vacant??;)
Good thing about taking photos with old dogs is they are much less inclined to move.
I hope he's got a lot of stock in Swiffer Mops! Seriously though, from what shelter is he finding all the adorable little fuzzies? I visit my shelters on a fairly regular basis, and they're filled with nothing but labs and pit bulls.
They are blessed. I love senior animals. Thank you so many times over.
I am so happy for you; you are brave as you know you wont have them for very long. I have always told people that the older pets become, the more precious they become. I know this from my own experiences, and it is what I used to tell my old mother. I get so sick of seeing what horrible humans there are in the world, so when I read about somebody like you, it restores some faith in some human natures.
oh wow you are helping save a lot of dogs. I really glad this world has people like you.
You are the best Steve Greig!! Your photos make me giggle with happiness.
Thank you, Greig, is prob. what all your dogs think every single day! :-)
Through pain and loss something very beautiful has taken seed and grown.
OH MY GOD!!! THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. THESE ANIMALS ARE SO SPECIAL. AND I LOVE THUS GUY. This would be my dream man--someone so incredibly loving, creative, and purposeful. LOVE this post.
What a beautiful family. I adore senior dogs and would like to have a few at home. Hubby says no! Ali x
Name is Bikini. Re-read the article...last paragraph.
Load More Replies...This is amazing, for all these dogs!! <3 But I would be emotionally wrecked knowing we don't have a lot of time to share...
Amazing and I am full of respect for him, but sometimes I think the counterpart of a crazy cat lady is a crazy dog guy
She was mentioned - "Greig also has a pig named Bikini, as well as two ducks, pigeons, cats and a few chickens."
