  • Mike Dicks

  • I want it

  • After I graduate from university I want to adopt a disabled dog. I'd like to be able to help them out and care for them, you know?

  • so cute i want him

  • just imagine if this was a child you would take it

  • Bless him, Update Please :) x

  • 10 dog abusers.

  • is there any update on this? where is the dog now?

  • You can HELP these dogs by simply "clicking" - at this special site:

    wwwbarkingmadonline (dot kom) or search through: wwwnonprofits (dot kom)

    IF you do this daily... it would be appreciated. Every time you SHARE this - another dog/animal can be SAVED/HELPED in some way. BLESS you!

  • It doesn't matter that he is disabled!!! he might be a loving dog with a wonderful personality!!! They will still live a happy life!!!

  • Its in Southern Utah... yeah aborable dog!

  • "His like a druken sailor" the doctors mean :( lol, he looks cute. Poor dog, i feel sorry for him for having this disablility. I hope he makes it and finds a good home :)

  • ha richardaiken1

    did i piss you of than good that is what i do

    put it to sleep night night . and you can all go fuck off

  • Wiggles is awesome. When animal control saw him, they probably thought he might have had rabies.

  • put it to sleep night night

  • @pingpongbubu

    put you to sleep Mr. "toughguy."

  • :O POOR DOG! >:( I HATE CARELESS OWNERS! >:(

  • Interesting: Yes 4 out of my six children are in the disability category and me too (mostly we're autistic but one has DS) but we just carry on. The ordinary folk who cannot tolerate any difference seem to create the problems for themselves not us. Must be harder for dogs.

  • So did anyone adopt Wiggles? Is there any update on him?

  • i love wiggles

  • its not right.......find a fucking family...........its not right

  • @jurgenmanfred - ...they did find a family; he's been adopted. And when they can't, they keep them at DogTown for life. Perhaps, if you are so concerned, you could try "finding a fucking family" or, perhaps, become the "fucking adoptive family" yourself.

  • All dogs deserve love,home and a family of their own.

    Wiggles is not ugly he is sweet and needs to find the right family.

    Go wiggles never give up your family is out there.

  • hmm....

  • "it" refers to hmm....?

  • Oh he is soo cute!

    I've always wanted a "special" dog. Lol.

    Aweeee! I bet he got a good home

  • i would adopt him and i would make sure i got his pooh bear.

    Hopes for wiggles

    wanna kiss wiggles

  • I would adopt him.

  • Does anyone know who may be able to help pay for my dog's amputation?

  • The people at dog town r awsome. I love that show. Who's this IMMax77 guy, he's a real jerk.

  • those eyes are so cute how could you say no

  • i want wiggles hes sooo cute

  • wiggle has a huge weiner.

  • i would TOTALLY adopt wiggles. i love bulldogs, and he just looks like such a sweety.

  • I wonder if wiggles got adopted out he was gorgeous

  • i love dogs. they deserve a better world than this.

  • I love wiggles

  • All these bleeding hearts over a dog, no wonder they are so over bred, these immature comments show how easily people are manipulated when it comes to dogs.

    So blinded by their projections that most fail to see or do something about helping our fellow humans.

    Truly sad.

  • i would take him, he's awesome

  • What a cute and sweet dog! =)

  • my Aunt has MANY special needs pets

  • where is dogtown?

  • i hope they found a home for him. his so cute

  • if they didnt ill tke him :3

  • So why don't we as humans deal with the problem of over breeding. There are more dogs than homes. Stop over breeding. That would solve a lot of problems.

    There are a lot of well intended posts but I seriously DOUBT anyone would take in a special needs pet.

    If this were the case there wouldn't be so many healthy dogs destroyed because they can't find homes.

    STOP THE OVER BREEDING.

  • you highly doubt anyone would adopt a special needs dog?????!!!!! well i can tell u thats pure bullshit. I have a friend who adopted a special needs dog. and also her mother who came across a dog that was totally blind, and took him in. and he does just fine. so dont assume there isnt ANYONE out there who would adopt one. Just cause YOU wouldnt, doesnt mean others wouldnt

  • Not many people are out there tripping over themselves to adopt a special needs pet.

    In these tough economic times they are giving healthy pets over to shelters where after 72 hours, they are put down.

    Sometimes it's better for the animal to be put down.

    No matter what your opinion, disabled pets aren;t adopted as frequently.

    It is a sad thing where people are more concerned over disabled dogs than their fellow humans.

    Carry on.

  • It is human greed and bigotry that puts most animals in shelters. Most animal "problems" are caused by our "fellow" humans. There is absolutely no problem with having compassion to fixing a problem humans started. If you understood what most these shelters do, they strive to improve animal/human relations, not ignore other humans all together.

    Get some compassion and help take responsibility for what we've done to these animals.

  • Comment removed

  • I do have compassion as I have said many times the problem is over breeding, Each and every time people coo over dogs someone wants to sell you one.

    Go preach to the backyard breeders.

    It is simply not possible to find all pets homes as sad as it is and yes, the responsible thing to do is put them down AND STOP BREEDING.

    Stop creating the demand from irresponsible breeders.

    Do any of the creatures that left me a negative comment think about the animal that ends up on their plate?

    Doubt it.

  • Good point.

    I see what you are saying. We need to treat each other the way we would treat an injured dog.

  • No one here has defended breeding. We've all just said that just because they are not normal, or just because there are too many of them, is not a reason for them to be put down. Yes, there are too many to probably be adopted out. But the compassionate choice is to do as Best Friends does; Give them a home for life. If a dog still has a happy life, then they go up for a adoption. No one adopts? Doesn't matter, Best Friends will care for them for life. THAT'S the answer, not just killing of them.

  • If "THAT'S the answer" then why are there so many disabled pets without homes?

    There are many healthy animals without homes.

    In an ideal world,all dogs and cats, even disabled ones should have homes, it is immature to think that it will happen.

    I wish that they all had homes too, but the REALITY that you choose to ignore is they don't.

    So, what do you do with them?

    The answer is obvious and you and the other tweens don't like it. Neither do I but it is what it is.

    Stop OVER breeding.

  • Okay, for one, I'm 21 so kinda out of the "tween" stage. I've also been working with animals for years, and currently work at a animal shelter, who does euthanize animals. I understand some of the need for euthanasia, but as a means to control the population is just disgusting. I KNOW there are not enough regular homes, that's why their home is BEST FRIENDS. You don't seen to understand that this organization offers forever homes to them. We need more places like Best Friends.

  • thats mean..."/

  • Thanks for making it easy to contact you. You may not agree with my comments and you are entitled to your opinion. I don't understand why you are unable to control your emotions and post this. All I am saying dogs end up uncared for because humans over breed them.

    BTW if you insist on posting immature over emtional crap like this, you may make new friends.

    Thanks for the link to your website you generously give all of your contact information.

  • Yeah its true that I comment was bad, sorry if I make someone feel upset

  • Lol IMMax your such a faggot

  • Every animal is adoptable..there is a perfect home for every dog or cat..unfortunately its hard to find all of them when a lot of people do not like animals and when they is so much over population. I wish every dog and cat and child would always be loved and safe and in a home where its the right fit. Best Friends does a lot to make this happen. Kudos and thanks for posting this video!!!

  • I want him so badly! He's desperate!

  • This is one of the main problems of overbreeding.

    The care for a handicapped pet is time consuming and expensive. There are many well intended people but they don't realize how much it takes to care for these pets.

    Sometimes it's better for them to put them to sleep. As heartbreaking as it is.

  • It is not better for them to be put to sleep...just because something isn't perfect does not mean it is not as deserving of a life..Same thing goes for people as well. Why I LOVE disabled animals, they seem to give more love and have a better time than normal animals. Nothing wrong with helping a disabled animals..many animals are disabled in many different forms because of that reason..which is why we need to get puppy mills not disabled animals.

  • Severly injured yea, but this dog was disabled, there's a HUGE difference. Any dog can have a great life, & putting them down is wrong. If the dog is not completely suffering then what that dog needs is for someone to make their short life the best it can be. Dogs don't know they're different when they are disabled, we as humans pity them & make them feel as if something is wrong with them. Treating them the same as any other dog is what they need; it's QUALITY of life with dogs, not QUANTITY.

  • In theory, yes, but practical reality most of the time, it's best to put the dog down if it has severe issues.

    The reality is many disabled pets are abandoned or left at shelters because the owners don't have the resources to care for the animal.

  • This dog doesn't have severe issues as such. Just, as they said, most likely a genetic defect, something that cannot be helped. He's still able to be a dog and do doggie things so a family willing to take that bit of extra care will suit him fine.

  • Again, there aren't hordes of people clamoring to adopt a special needs pets.

    As much as all the teen twits want to save all the doggies out there, it isn't possible and sometimes it is better for the animal to be put down.

    It would be a wonderful thing if the bleeding hearts could focus on human needs first.

  • ill take him i dont care if he has a disability he is awesome

  • I would adopt this little guy in a heartbeat! He's precious! Where do I sign up? :)

  • that dog is cute

  • No reputable show breeder I know of would have produced this dog, this is a PUPPY MILL/PET SHOP produced dog, the "breeder" more properly termed DOG FARMER who has 500 dogs crammed in dirty cages and breeding the females every heat till they drop dead, breeding poodles to cockers to make cockapoos, pekeapoos etc, no health tests, no pedigree research, just in it for the CASH CROP.

  • Where's the guarantee this came from a breeder intentionally? A breeder I know of Petits Bassets Griffons Vendeens had one of their dogs escape, it was nobody's fault, but the dog got out and managed to mate with someone's Basenji, once the pups were born they were all malformed because of the genes which cause the tight corkscrew tail in the Basenji, and the dwarf legs in the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen. Just because he was found near a breeder does not mean he was not an escaped accident.

  • Your post is a mystery as to what point you are making.

    Everyone knows someone, who knows someone, whose friend knows someone whose dog escaped and got bred by accident, it HAPPENS, but it's RARE. Reputable breeders have experience and facilities to prevent such accidents.

  • i hope he finds a home he is really cute

  • I hope someone adopts him. He would probably have aproblem being an inside dog due to his bowel issues, but if you keep him outside (or special area) there is probably little else you need to compensate for. I have brain and spinal issues and walking like that is more embarassing then problamatic so unless the dog si embarassed :)

  • That's the only thing that would keep me from adopting him - the bowels . Other than that, I'd take'em. BUT then again, I can always control his bowels by regulating his eating and drinking strictly.

  • wat r bowels?

  • your intestines, dude.

  • i'm a gal, n how'mi meant to kno tt anyway, i aint a science geek

    (not sayin u r)

  • No, it's just common knowledge. Didn't mean to come down on ya, young'n.

  • nva mynd, how old r u thn, if u say 'come down on ya' and 'young'n'

  • I just meant I didn't want to come off as insulting. The young'n thing is just a joke. Relax.

  • i kno, i'm not mad, i didnt ask tht in a mean way, just wondered

  • Cool, then.

  • i would totally adopt him.

    hes friendly and cute

  • what a cutie he is adorable

  • OMG I WANT HIM!!! He is the cutest little drunkard i've ever seen, and i love his awkward overbite. xxx

  • i wish i could have given him the home! he's just adorable and i jus wanna hug him. wonder where he is now.

  • This dog's so cute...

  • I have two disabled dogs, one in a cart because of a spinal injury & one with a deformed leg & I have to say that they are the most rewarding animals I have ever had. Dogs don't know they're disabled - too busy enjoying life.

    If you're thinking about adopting one, I say go for it. The joy is waitng for you.

  • : (

  • Poor Wiggles, I think he's adorable, I'd take him in a second!

  • I love his teeth! he's not mean, but he look tough. and I guess he is if he can learn to cope with his disabilites.

  • i would adopt him cuz hes sooo clumsy and cute@

  • D'aww...he's cute in a silly sort of way. I would rename him Master Stumblebottoms.

  • i would adopt wiggles even if he's disabled

  • good for you!

  • coooooooooooooooooool you got 100

  • That's why people should adopt mutts from pounds and the ASPCA instead of buying purebreds from puppy mills - it just encourages the factories to push out more poor inbred pups. This is so sad.

    Mutts are sweeter-tempered anyway. Pedigrees are snobs and usually stupid.

  • Pedigrees are also plagued with problems. Mutts are much healthier. We had a foxy x and she went to the vet 3 times in 19 years, twice for her nails to be trimmed and the 3rd to be put to sleep as her body began to shut down.

  • smart -.-

  • This dog was at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary.

    We adopted a dog with the same symptoms. We have donated for years to Best Friends. I called they said that Dr. DIX was Their vet and busy with their dogs. They totally blew me off.I thought they would want the information we have and maybe we could help both dogs. They only want donations. It is really a sad disgrace. I wanted people to know what they are really like. We will be sending our money to rescue groups instead!

  • he seems to be a decent guy, maybe he was covered with letters from concerned ple like u and me, i think u shouldnt judge his personality but think of what he dose.

  • Oh I am not Judging his personality and I am sure he is a decent guy.Best Friends and their Attitude that if a dog is from a breeder it does not deserve any help. They feel Buying from a breeder keeps people from adopting shelter dogs. I know so many in breed rescues work daily and post daily about getting dogs out of shelters and saving their lives. The Email I got from Alix said he is our vet he has no time for you even though we have donated there for years. We are Sickened by that no more $

  • So are you saying you no longer support what they do? or are you just pissed off because you thought since you donate you deserve extra special treatment?

  • LENNY!!! Are you joking??? It's INCREDIBLY cruel to adopt a dog and "drop it off the next town over" because you were unable to train it. You're an awful human being.

  • You're a moron and obviously know nothing about house training if you'd rub your dog's nose in its mess.

    God. Why do people think they can raise dogs without doing any research? Did you even try different kinds of dog food before assuming everything would give it bad breath?

    Irresponsible. Do the world a favor and never have children.

  • The sad thing is that the average person with a dog is fueling this type of thing. If people wouldn't buy from backyard breeders this wouldn't be a problem, but people don't THINK. All they see is a cute puppy.

  • how can you blame them? It's exactly the same with many other issues, our clothing comes from child labour or unfair trade, our meat comes from animals living their whole lives in cramped cages pumped full of antibiotics. But all we see is the next new fashion and dinner.

  • poor boy... he deserves owners that can look after him, unlike those people who buy pets then give them away 1 week later.

  • omg hes so cute :(

  • lenn you give it to a shelter IF You must however any dog can be traind to stop craping besides most relesed dogs die. car wolf other dog. starvation, hypothermia,

  • OOHHHH NOOOOOSSSSSEEEEEEEE that poor dog i hope he okay

  • where is he i want him

  • i want that dog

  • i would adopt him :D

  • well technically its mean to even have a pet... either it is captured from the wild or it's only existance is to satisfy humans

  • kharma kharma for all those cruel ruthless breeders and animal abusers. The funny thing is animal abusers only do it to helpless animals and children but they are no match for a grown man or even me I will kick their asses. They are coward ignorant unevolved low lifes. I wish there was a law that would allow me to take care of them animal and child abusers.

  • i want to adopt em

    i dont get how ppl thro there pets out and abandon them wat did they do to deserve that

  • How can anybody be mean poor a dog like Wiggles He was adopted and got a wonderful home.

  • damn breeders! all of them who mutate dogs, and throw themn in the trash is inhumaine and should get shot!

  • cute dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • poor wiggles! i'd adopt him in a heartbeat if i didn't already have 4 kitties! let's hope he finds a home soon. he's so cutte too!

  • poor dog, i'd dopt him but he's in california, USA andd i'm in ontario, Canada

  • I just fall in love with that dog mmm i hate i live so far away is so cute

  • That9s the most ugly lovely dog I ever seen I want him his face is lovely wiggles!!!

  • That mad me sad for a minute. But I'm sure he's ok and he'll have a happy life. :-)

  • Poor wiggles

    The best thing for him if he is inbred is to be euthenased I reckon

  • i dont agree, he seems happy he only has balance problems. He can have a happy life, just not as active as most.

  • Hey there NaruChick101

    No worries...

  • Why in the world should he be euthanized?!  Idiotic people. He isn't unhappy, nor is he suffering. Stop trying to kill everything that isn't "normal".

  • What idiotic people?

  • Every animal deserves a chance at a happy life.

  • hm well just like people all living creatures may also have limitations but I'll bet you his heart is filled with so much love to share with that special caring soul!You just might be that lucky person!

  • are u sure they dont want him for dinner lol

  • what type of dog is that in the start the first dong that came out of da door

  • i wuv wiggles!!!!!!!! i hope he finds a good home...pets bring joy to the world... and in some cases pets are all people have.. some couples who cant have children turn to pets for fullfillment... im sure wiggles will bring great joy to someone

  • مسرحيت طارق العلي

  • I find that dog quite badass and cute looking at the same time. :D

    I'd adopt him anyday if I lived anywhere in the US. I just hope he finds a good owner...

  • I sure pray that you don't own any pets. You are a very cold person. I sure hope you never have a disabled child! And I can compare human life to an animal. Just go look in the mirrow and you will see a cruel human. Look at wiggles a human is responsible for his condition.

  • WIGGLES!!! wtf... thats a really big piss take of a name

  • well, if the dog is unabel to live a normal life u should put it down. like a dog without front legs...

  • Normal =/= happy. Just because he is not normal does not mean he is not happy.

  • Wiggles? Isnt that a bit cruel? Would you call a human with that condition Noodle Legs?

  • they are closing the organisation because many STUPID people were going there at night and they were hitting them to death or hanging them.. :(

  • Good luck Wiggles :^)

  • مسرحيت طارق العلي

  • I would love to adopt him or any disable animal. the thing is that im not from the us, im from Cyprus. :(

    How can i help from that far?

  • There are probably plenty of disabled dogs in Cyprus. Just look up dog rescue organizations in your community.

  • So if you had been born in the same condition should we just put you down? you know like what you say just kill the weak!

  • NARIN GUL

  • JFLIGYŞGO

  • Its really lovely for the animals! and what kind, generous people!!!!!
