A dedicated accountant from Colorado, Steve Greig, lives a life that defies the ordinary—his home is a sanctuary for an eclectic mix of animals, including 10 senior dogs, two cats, a pig named Bikini, two ducks, pigeons, chickens, and even a rabbit.
But it’s not just the diversity of his pets that stands out; it’s his unwavering commitment to caring for elderly dogs, who often face the harsh reality of being overlooked due to their age.
“My parents shared my passion for animals and always encouraged me to care for them,” Steve recalls, reflecting on a childhood spent surrounded by pets.
This early exposure to animals laid the foundation for the deep compassion that drives his mission today.
Originally, Steve’s household consisted of three or four dogs, but his commitment to animal welfare deepened after the loss of one of his beloved companions.
The grief of losing his dog spurred him to open his heart to more animals in need, leading him to adopt from local shelters.
One such act of kindness brought Eeyore, a 12-year-old Chihuahua with health challenges, into his life.
Despite the odds, Steve gave Eeyore a loving home, proving that age and ailments are no barriers to love.
Today, Steve cares for ten dogs, eight of whom are his own, while the other two belong to his sister and a roommate.
His dedication is apparent in his daily routine—rising at 5 a.m. each morning to prepare individualized meals that cater to the specific dietary needs of each dog, ensuring they all receive the best possible care.
