Husband turns his property into an unofficial sanctuary one animal at a time, from a senior goat rescued mid-errand to ducks, chickens, and cats he swore he'd never adopt, his wife says: 'Obsessed may be an understatement.'

This man is low-key living every animal lover's dream.

Every person who loves animals thinks at least once a week a thought that goes along these lines: "Oh, man. I wish I had so many animals to just hang out with all day." Or, "I honestly wish I could save as many animals as I possibly can." And we get it - we wish it, too. We love animals so much, and that's why we try to spread awarness here on out humble corner of the internet. But some people are taking matters into their own hands. And by "matters", we mean "animals". This man is Jose. He adopts every animal he comes across, more or less, and the process is endearingly documented by his wife - who accepts him, and his bajillion animals, with nothing but love.

Let's bu honest, Jose is living every animal lover's dream. We'd all like to have the place, energy, time, and means to rescue any animal in need, to care for them and give them a good life - and all that while having a loving partner who encourages this passion. But instead of being jealous (which we are, we have to admit), we're here to spread the word - because this is truly inspiring. We honestly hope that even if you read this and think, "Bur I don't have a farm for so many animals" - that it'll at least inspire you to consider adopting another animal in need. Just see this as a sign to go to your nearest shelter and see if you come home with an extra friend.

If anything would ever convince us to adopt a goat, it's this man. Just look at how lovingly he embraces his goat - you can't tell us a person hugs like this an animal who doesn't love him back the same way. Sure, animals express themselves differently than humans, but they still definitely express love.

Oh, look at this adorable duck, but also - look at how lovingly this man gazes at the duck! Pure love, pure adoration, pure care. Every animal in need deserves no less than a person looking at them like that, and caring for them in that same way.
