One man has opened his Denver home to critters in need, like elderly animals or fur/feather babies with special needs, and his life (and the animals) couldn’t be better.
Steve Greig (55) has a home — and yard — full of love, which includes nine senior dogs, four chickens, two ducks, one rabbit, an one-hundred-ten pound pig, and a super sociable turkey named Tofu.
“Tofu loves people. Everyone knows who he is. He’s so social and curious. For Halloween, he was just in heaven because we get a lot of trick-or-treaters. [Tofu] could not have been happier,” Steve told TODAY.
Steve started adopting senior and special needs animals in 2013 after grieving the death of his cherished fur baby, a dog named Wolfgang.
Steve shares, “It was just devastating. After a few months, I finally decided I needed something good to come out of [Wolfgang’s] death.”
That’s when Steve hit up his local animal shelter and saw a Chihuahua with four bad knees and a heart murmur. Naming the little dude Eeyore, Steve brought him home.
“It was so immediately healing that I knew this is just what I was supposed to do. From then on, I only adopted senior dogs. I heard about another one that needed a home then another one, and I just kept expanding,” Steve shares.
Steve spreads awareness for animals in need on the Wolfgang Instagram Page, which now has almost 900,000 followers, by sharing updates and antics from his animal family.
“These animals get overlooked in shelters and they have so much light and love left in them.”
