I've always loved Tom Selleck and this just goes to say why.
Thank You, Mr. Selleck.

American actor Tom Selleck bought a dog shelter on the verge of closing — but what he did next surprised everyone. There were 72 hours left.
The water bill hadn't been paid in weeks. And the owner had given a final warning: “Get out. Or the dogs will be removed.” But no one expected him to come in. A tall man, wearing a cowboy hat, with a calm gait. No assistants. No cameras. He walked straight to the last kennel and knelt beside the oldest dog:
Rusty, a 14-year-old golden retriever with one eye and arthritis. He stayed with him for ten minutes. In silence. Stroking him.
Then she looked at the shelter director and asked, "How many dogs are here?"
“Forty-seven,” she replied. Tom nodded and said in his deep voice:
“Then forty-seven deserve to live like champions.” He didn’t just write a check. He bought the entire property. But that wasn’t what broke the internet. The next day, trucks arrived.
One. Two. Three. New beds. Heated floors. Veterinary care.
Fresh food. Toys. Blankets embroidered with each dog's name. Above each kennel they placed a plaque: “Forever Home — Donated by Tom Selleck.”
The most touching thing?
Tom adopted Rusty. “He’s waited too long,” he said with a calm smile.
“Now it’s my turn to wait for him.” Tom

I found tons on this story 'on line' and tons of links sharing more information and I also found this :-
The story of Tom Selleck buying a dog shelter and adopting a dog is a widely debunked and false rumor that circulates online, likely designed to generate clicks. There are no credible news reports to support the claim that he rescued a specific shelter or a dog named Rusty. The narrative appears on fake news and clickbait sites and includes details that are also associated with similar false stories about other celebrities, such as Peyton Manning
So this just goes to prove that you cannot always trust or believe everything you read online. Maybe this is true, maybe it is just CLICK BAIT - but it makes for a pleasant story and I hope it is true.

But as soon as I arrived, they told me he had already found a new home. I smiled—happy for him—but a little emptiness settled in my heart. I was just about to leave when something quietly pulled me back.In the corner sat a tiny husky puppy 🐾—soft fluffy fur, icy blue eyes, but looking so tired.
His ears were a bit frost-bitten, and his small body was weak, as if he’d been waiting far too long for someone to notice him. Most people would’ve walked right past him.
But when our eyes met—I felt it. He wasn’t just a puppy… he was a quiet plea saying,
“See me. I just need a chance.”
And I knew, if I didn’t take him home… maybe no one would. The car ride home was silent, except for his soft little breaths. When we arrived, he hesitated at first, unsure if this safety was real. Then he rested his head on my jacket and let out a long sigh—as if he was finally letting go of all the fear and cold.
Since that day, he has completely transformed. He’s still a bit weak, but he scoots around joyfully in his own silly ways. Every morning begins with tail wags and gentle nose boops. He knows—he is loved. He didn’t have to be perfect. He just needed someone willing to see his worth.Now he’s not just surviving… he’s blooming. My little northern angel, my husky puppy, has given me more love than I ever imagined.

Judge Martin had faced every kind of crime during his thirty-year career
—fraud, assault, violent offenses—but nothing had shaken him like this. Today was different. He had just handed down the verdict in a case of extreme animal cruelty.
The defendant would serve the maximum sentence for abandoning his dog, left chained in an empty apartment, starving, thirsty, and alone for weeks.
The images of the suffering animal haunted Judge Martin even as he struck the gavel. Legally, justice had been served, but the judge felt no victory—only the heavy burden of the dog’s pain pressing on his heart.
He didn’t return to his office or even remove his robe. Instead, he went straight to the animal shelter. Kneeling on the cold concrete floor, he opened the dog’s cage.
“Hey, buddy,” he whispered, his voice shaking, “I’m Martin… I heard your story.” The dog climbed into his lap and licked away the tears streaming down the judge’s face.
“You’re safe now… it’s over.” From that moment, Judge Martin signed the adoption papers, and for the first time in weeks—perhaps ever—he felt the pure comfort of safety and unconditional love.
