After the loss of his beloved dog, Steve Greig found solace in the idea of making a positive impact. Fueled by his grief, he embarked on a mission to provide a loving home for senior dogs who often struggle to find adopters.
“I still felt so horrible about it,” Greig recalls his grief. “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.”
Choosing to focus on dogs deemed “least adoptable,” Greig welcomed a 12-year-old Chihuahua with health issues as his first rescue.
This began a heartwarming journey that saw him opening his doors to senior dogs often overlooked in shelters.
Today, Greig is a devoted father figure to ten elder rescue dogs and a pig, chicken, and turkey.
His days start at 5 am, preparing individualized meals for his diverse animal family, each with unique dietary needs.
From vet appointments to leisurely walks in the park, Greig’s schedule revolves around caring for his furry companions.
“Whenever I sit or lie down at a dog-friendly level, there are always at least three or four of [dogs] attached,” he shares on his Instagram.
Reflecting on the joys of caring for senior dogs, Greig emphasizes their wisdom and the ease of forming meaningful connections.
“These older dogs know who they are,” he explains. “It’s just fulfilling knowing that these adorable animals are happy, loved, and well-taken care of.”
Despite the challenges of managing a household filled with furry friends, Greig finds fulfillment in providing a haven for those in need.
“A normal day for me is getting up at 5 am. and making breakfast for all of them,” he says, highlighting the dedication and love that define his daily routine.
