Man Dedicates His Life to Adopting Senior Dogs Nobody Wanted

One Man is showing the rest of us what it truly means to open up your heart and home to those in need. After the death of a pet, Steve Gregg was pretty broken hearted. He had so much love to give others and nowhere to give it. That was when he decided to adopt some of the most unadoptable pets. You'll fall in love with the kindness and generosity that One Man has displayed to so many animals. Steve Gregg's an accountant and pet owner that lives in Colorado. But unlike many other pet owners, Steve happens to have an entire entourage of pets. So how many animals does he currently have? Steve's currently a father to 10 senior dogs, a pig named Bikini, two chickens, two ducks, two pigeons, a few cats, a rabbit, and a pond filled with koi fish. So how did One Man become a father to so many animals? Well, his story's an interesting one. Steve happens to have a lot of love to give and he especially loves giving it to dogs that are having trouble finding forever homes. All of his dogs are seniors and they're often overlooked at the shelter because of their age and health problems. But Steve has no qualms about adopting these dogs. I grew up with a lot of pets, Steve Gregg told the Dogo. Both my parents were animal lovers and they pretty much always let me have whatever I wanted as long as I could take care of it. This love for animals stayed with Gregg to adulthood. Once he got his own place as an adult, Steve adopted a few dogs. But the death of one dog in particular really broke his heart. It was a very tough time for him and adjusting to the change wasn't easy. I was just so distraught about that death, Gregg said. A month or two went by and I still felt so horrible about it. I decided the only way I would feel better was if something good happened that probably wouldn't have happened if he hadn't died. It was after this heartbreaking ordeal that Steve decided to do something bold. He marched over to the local animal shelter and asked for the least adoptable dog. That was when Steve was introduced to a 12-year-old chihuahua with a heart murmur and four bad knees. So I adopted a 12-year-old chihuahua named Eeyore with a heart murmur and four bad knees and I brought him home and that was just the beginning of all the animals, Gregg said. This was the starting point of Gregg's big animal-filled home. Steve now currently has 10 dogs living with him and only two of them aren't his. One of the dogs is his roommates and the other is his sister's. All the others, however, are his and he's turned them all into social media stars. Steve has an Instagram account called On the account, Steve shares tons of adorable and amazing images of all his pets. The account went viral and now currently has 765,000 followers who stick around for a new update each day. So what's a day like in the life of Steve and his many pets? A normal day for me is getting up at 5am 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 said. Each morning, Steve wakes up and makes 10 plus breakfast meals for all his pets. Then he makes sure to give all his senior dogs their medications. Once he's done all this, Steve heads off to work but his care doesn't end there. Every day during his lunch break, Steve heads back over to the house. During this time, he lets the dogs out so they can exercise. Then he gives them a tasty treat. Weekends are an entirely different story with Steve constantly booked up with vet trips, grooming appointments, and fun-filled walks. Taking the dogs out on a walk is always an adventure, especially with so many. But it's always Bikini the Pig who happens to steal the show. Bikini the Pig loves going out during walks as well. However, she prefers riding along in her wagon. Steve took on Bikini and his chicken Oprah from a farm he'd visited. He was told Bikini was already house-trained and his thought process was, I'm not going to have a much better chance of getting a pet pig. Steve also has a pet rabbit that someone had just abandoned on his front porch. That rabbit, someone just left him in my front yard is how I came to get him, Gray said. I assume someone knew I had lots of animals and thought, yeah, he'll give him a good home. So I found him in my front yard one morning and I put him in the chicken coop because I wasn't sure what to do with him. Steve says that all his animals get along great. Everyone's happy to be around each other and they love to nap a whole bunch. When asked how he feels about adopting senior dogs, Steve had a lot to say. They're just wiser animals, he said. You kind of know what you want out of life once you become a certain age. These 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 guys are happy and loved and well taken care of makes my days worthwhile, Steve shared. Since most of the dogs are seniors, he stated that they aren't too hyperactive and most of the time he doesn't notice he has so many dogs. Steve has stated that having so many animals in the house is a truly loving and rewarding experience. Like right now, I'm outside on my patio and it's a beautiful day, Steve told the Dodo. Bikinis laying in the yard and the dogs are all laying around it. They just make it feel like home.
