She looks like the sweetest German Shepherd ever I have one personally and she is so sweet I think that she deserves the best owner and someone who would love and care for her and the name is very fitting she looks like a princess!
Thank you to everyone for bringing Princess Zoe attention. If it wasn’t for Rocky and his amazing team i would have never known about this amazingly sweet girl. She is recovering from her spay currently but is doing well. Princess Zoe has already found a special place in my heart and I truly love her deeply. I am beyond blessed and proud to say she is my pup she is truly one of a kind. Once again thank you everyone and to Rocky and his team.
Sophia's story got me in the heart. My current dog ended up in the shelter because he had terrible separation anxiety and couldn't adapt to his owner having to return to the office. They did try for months but he kept panicking, howling, destroying things, broke out a few times. It turned out I was the perfect adopter because I work from home--and then unexpectedly, my cat immediately became a momma cat to him. She grooms him all the time and cuddles with him. Because I had the freedom of my schedule, I was able to work on the separation anxiety gradually. It's been 18 months. I think he'll always be on the more velcro-dog side, but he can stay home alone, can stay with family/friends, and has become a great office buddy. Sometimes certain dogs do need certain environments.
And that does suggest that any shelter would do well to have an animal behavior consultant who could give volunteer phone advice about what such a dog might need so that people know what their pet is going through, how they can help and that it will be a good match. If not they won't feel pressured to adopt because they will have an animal behaviorist saying yes this may work out but it also may not be the easiest environment for the pet and maybe it would be better to let someone else adopt who is an easy environment. Does an animal behaviorist could make a comment online about the type of home that would be most likely to help I think that for all the people who would hesitate because they were not that kind of home they would be others that would be more confident in reaching out because they would realize oh that's me that's the environment that this dog needs to become a wonderful pet and we can provide it. I think it would be a plus period of course Rocky is becoming more and more knowledgeable about rescued pets needs and behavior all the time and people love to ask him questions for that very reason❤
I have given away a dog before thinking she would be better in another home, something I regretted the moment I drove away. I cried my heart out for months. I begged the couple to return her, and they refused. To this day, my heart is sick, longing for her back. 😢 I don't know how anyone can not be heart sick over the loss of a dog.
@Adaughtersheart-Isa53 I think it very understandable that your initial hope was that Princess would be reunited with her family. I would have been heartbroken 💔 to have been separated from such a beautiful dog. I think the ultimate happy ending is to be happily united with their original family. The next best thing in the case of some disaster having prevented a reunion is to get a new loving forever home. 💜💛🤗💛💜
I lost one of my sons (30 year old) and my dog of 14 years, all within 6 months. I went into a deep dark hole for about a year. Then I adopted Boomer last month!! Shepard mix. 1.5 years old. He's changed me!!! Love him so much! And he's so smart!! Bless you people!!
I lived that same experience, but it was my only son. Had I not had my fluffy children, don't think I would have gotten through it. Domestic animals are a gift and the abandoned ones need love + food +water + LOVE!
Me too. It reminds me so much of children or women that are abused. The amount of fear, and mistrust are the same. It takes time for them to go through the process to be able to love again. Being betrayed is the worst thing to happen. Having the patience to let the process take its course is heaven sent. 😇❤️
i am crying, i want them all, i have 5 rescues and they are my life, but the fact is they rescued me, they rescued me from a lost broken heart, PLEASE ADOPT
I wish for everyone in need of a loving pet-friend to please adopt. Saving an animal from the shelter feels immensely better than paying a breeder for one.
I started crying instantly hearing Princess got adopted I was REALLY rooting for that girl!! I'm sad her family never came to get her but hopefully this new family will love her for the rest of her life!! YAY PRINCESS!!!
@@dianeratti5644 It absolutely puzzles me that a family would bother to Microchip Princess but NOT love her enough to come get her!! Makes me CRY how SAD and confused she must be wondering what she did WRONG! 😩💕
I love this channel and yes, I cried, too! What a day-brightener😊 "Honey" is the perfect name for her (from her beautiful coat to her sweet temperament)
I tried to adopt a Husky about two years ago. Poor baby ended up biting my husband and tried to bite two more guys. I live close to a park with a ton of young people who walk by. I didn't want anyone to get hurt. I felt like an absolute failure of a human for having to take him back. I sobbed as I filled out the paperwork. I stayed in touch with the shelter and found out he was adopted to a single female home and is flourishing now. You're right, sometimes it's just not the right fit, and I can't beat myself up for it not working out. I still think of him often. Thank you for saying it. I ended up adopting a 10 week old GSD a couple weeks later. She was part of a court surrender with her brother and Mom. She is now best friends with my older rescue GSD.
It always depends on why a dog is returned. If it bites men, it likely has bad experiences and would have to go through lots of added stress for it to work out. It's much better just to ease the dog into getting to know men, without having one around 24/7.
THE SAME FOR ME! I always cry and mostly always tears of joy & happiness!!Any animal lover should be a part of this channel!! Rocky Kanaka is like a canine Evangelist...he truly speaks to each and every animal in a unique and personalized way. Support Flip Farms Rocky Kanaka's new tandem dog shelter/coffee bean farm!!
There are so many elderly that would benefit from having access to animals. I'm beyond shocked that more retirement homes and elder care facilities don't partner with shelters to give both the humans and the animals the social contact they both desperately need.
The nursing home near my house had a Shepard mix. My mom was there for a year. The dog made all the residents so happy! The dog free-roamed the floor, visiting with all the folks. They all looked forward to the visits!
I have a friend who brings her therapy dog to nursing homes. He makes everyone's day brighter! She belongs to an organization that trains dogs to do this. So, take heart as I'm sure there are many more around the country doing this too!
UOUR VIDEOS MAKE ME WANT TO GET ON A PLANE AND MEET THIS AMAZING MAN ROCKY, THAT HAS DEVOTED HIS LIFE TO SAVING THESE SWEET AND BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS. MIKE, HOUSTON TEXAS
We had a Chow/Shepard rescue that looked a lot like Princess. It was a divorce situation, and she was lost when we got her. She was my truck dog. She would sit in the front passenger seat and check everything out. She didn't know she was a beast; she was just an old soul. She was also my lap dog. Thank you for the love and care you show in every video.
That lady lost her husband, son, and brother, all within a year? Oh my! Dear sweet lady. I hope you’re surrounded with love, and great company, I’m so glad the little dog can make you happy, and fills your heart with joy. May Got bless you.
Isn’t the saddest thing ever? There’s nothing you can say to make that pain any better. Animals can be so great for healing. I’m so happy her adoptive fur baby can give her some comfort !❤️❤️
I've got a dogo that's nearly 1:1 to princess, also a scaredy GSD who even looks similar and I would take her in in seconds if I wasn't on other side of the globe. Sad to see her there.
Mel is an angel, and SO good with all of the dogs. I love how the dogs warm up to her when she gets the sudsy soap going, and the scratchy rubs and face rubs. She's a lovely person.
Please, give your Pyrenees space to roam and run. I grew with those shepherd dogs. They are majestic, courageous, lords of the Pyrenees. Traditionally they were raised amidst their sheep family. Mothers would live and give birth in the barn, with their Flock. Once, shepherds would put a wooden collar pierced with looong nails around their neck, so that if wild animals do attack the dog, they’ll be wounded by the nails and run away.
LOVE your channel and energy brother! I just bought $50 worth of dog treats from you, that I don't really need, but just because I'd like to support you and your amazing work, channel, and love for these awesome critters. My hat is off to you!!
We adopted a larger poodle from the shelter. I think he had a mix in him. Going home Dusty sat between our seats looking all around. We kept his name. He came in our house looked around downstairs, went upstairs, came back downstairs and sat down. He was like I'm home. He was such a good dog. We had little kids in the home and we all got along great.
I love poodles and poodle mixes. I have a Yorkiepoo named Lulu and a Morkie named Rastus Bear. Raz has a wonky leg. And Lulu has "issues" But they are perfect in my eyes. And a great thing about "Littles" is they can, with loving care, live for many years.
Dusty was the name of my childhood dog. This is the first time I've heard it on a video. If their adopted dog is half as good as my Dusty they will have a wonderful life together. ❤❤❤❤
Just came here to encourage people to take the shy ones home. When we adopted our dog she wouldn't move for weeks. We had to carry her outside, carry her around and even go out of the room so she were confident enough to eat and drink. It took months for her to crack the shell of trauma she experienced and what can I say, she's the most beautiful thing that ever came to our families life and the first two complicated years were absolutely worth the patience and work we put in to develop her confidence and feeling of safety. She's absolutely gorgeous and befriended lots of dogs around here which we never thought could ever happen. Sometimes I feel like all it needs is love and patience when it comes to the shy and frightened ones.
Thank you. Those who have been through trauma, and cannot even speak the same language, your patience, if more people even tried to be half as patient with animals and people who have suffered trauma, this world could be so much more beautiful.
My cat Princess was sleeping on my lap when you said Princess. She woke up and turned towards the sound. Just shows how important a name is for our pets😊
15:10 - Can we just take a minute to consider this poor lady who lost her husband, brother, AND son in the past year 😥😥- Hopefully Bucky will bring some light into her life that, I can only imagine, must be feeling so dark after her losses.
Yes, so sad! But what a perfect little guy for her. He seemed to be such an affectionate little pup, which should help her emotionally. Also, older people can't always deal with the big dogs, so it's good to see the little ones sometimes!
That's an unimaginable amount of pain and loss. For Nancy to have space in her heart and make space in her life, in the midst of all of that grief, to open her home to a pup... truly speaks to what a wonderful person she is too. I wish her healing and contentment with her new pup. She deserves all the love
Back in the day, my dad was a K9 instructor for the police department in Germany.We’re talking the late 40’s here. German shepherds were his choice for dog training because of their intelligence and the loyalty to “ there person”. He would have taken Princess in a heartbeat. He had the same quiet demeanor, as you do, Rocky. Again, like you he had the patience of a saint. Keep doing what you do best. The dogs and the world need more people like you. Much love from northern Ontario Canada.🇨🇦 ❤
People's lives sometimes collapse. Buddy and Bucky are both sweet little affectionate dogs who look like they have not been mistreated. So GLAD they got adopted. How about the other 3?
We have 2 Shepherds here in Yorkshire, UK They are an amazing breed, Our male has even played Parent to Kittens and other Animals He is So Calm around all other dogs too
I just saw the video where Princess, the German Shepherd, has been adopted. Apparently, the man's Grandmother saw Princess's video and told her Grandson to go get that dog. I am praying for Princess to have a wonderful and long life. I had my German Shepherd, Lizz, for over 14 years, and I will love her forever.
As a child, I had a half malamute, half German Sheppard mix, and he slept outside during the winter in Colorado. I remember him sleeping curled up on the snow with a local wild (but very friendly) orange tomcat who visited us every couple of weeks. The wind was blowing flakes of snow over them and ruffling their fur as they both slept with their tails near their noses, and my dog curled around the cat. A treasured memory of my childhood.
I grew up on a farm back in the 1940-50's and I remember many dogs that we had and they weren't in the house overnight so they found refuge in the barn with all the cows. This was in Pennsylvania and the winters were usually very cold with lots of snow. I always felt sorry for them and I wish they could have stayed in the house with us.😪😔
@@Jeannete-hc2gv Malamutes are bred for very cold weather, and my dog never wanted to sleep inside, and preferred to sleep outside in the snow. Us kids tried to get the tomcat to come inside, but he also preferred the outside.
@@GoCoyote exactly, some breeds can never love the indoors. I love Malamutes but would never have one because I live in a hot climate. Humans need to understand THEIR needs.
I have a doberman, and she loves playing in the snow. and of course, she has no fur because...doberman. she literally refuses to come inside when it's snowing. she's out there having too much fun 😂 I have to be the killjoy and warm her up with towels fresh from the dryer.
I really love princess she seems so sweet. I adopted a german shepard a year ago that was very sick and only weighed 48lbs it took a long time to get her healthy. Now she is the most loveable goofball. I am now in love with german shepards. I will adopt more of them. Thanks Rocky for the stories and especially the updates.
Thanks... so much for what you all do. This small amount is perhaps for anything the shelter might need- soft blankets, toys, or treats. Good girl, Princess!! All my love for your future, I bet it's going to be super bright. Rocky- you're the best! And go Kobe aka Bucky and Buddy!!!
Thank you! Currently we are passing funds on for things just like that. I bought some dog bowls this weekend for the shelter so we could serve thanksgiving meals to the dogs and we are covering a lot of adoption fees. Your support is helping with these efforts. Thank you so much 🤙
I am trying to do what you do to help dogs … to humans trying to fix abs optimize their brain health as they age. You are truly an inspiration to me to try to help people either their brain health. You are awesome! Thanks so much!
I found this on the internet. While teeth chattering can be a sign of pain, seizures, or a neurological disorder, these are not the only causes. Sometimes, dogs will also chatter their teeth simply because they are feeling cold, nervous, or excited. Smelling strong scents can sometimes bring on this response in dogs as well. He might have been excited, my nephews dog does that everytime I go over and visit because he is so happy to see me.
I foster for Loved Again Pets here in Springfield Oregon. I recently fostered a dog who had a similar 'chomping' habit. Was told he had been doing that for years. When I felt the temporal-mandibular joint when he was 'chomping', I could feel it 'snap' like there was a misalignment or ligament issue. It also looked like his back molars were large and farther back than normal. He was a 15# poodle mix, so misalignment of jaws a possibility.
The medical reasons are the most likely causes, but another possibility to consider is some dogs do this if they were kept in cages for very extended periods of time, and got in the habit of chewing the bars (even more so if they were doing so desperately). Even after they are no longer caged, it can be something like a conditioned response after that. Again, the medical options are still the most likely, and would be the things to check first, but I did see the cage chewing in a few rescues, so it's something to keep in mind if other things have been ruled out.
We adopted a dog and the meet and greet with our smaller gog went great. She was a medium size dog on the smaller size. After about 2 days of no problems between the two pups, she started playing extremely ruff with our sm dog. Going as far trying to pick up our pup by the head, not easily letting go and trying to toss her up in the air. This was the 5th dog we’ve adopted so I’m not new to this. We kept her for 1 1/2 weeks, but the situation was just getting more aggressive each day. We finally decided we had no choice but to return her. It was so hard and sad to return her, but for her sake I knew she needed a different home. I feel stupid but I actually cried. It took about a month but she found her forever home where she was the only pet and gets all the attention. So try not to be to hard on those of us that find ourselves in this horrible situation. When adopting a dog with no history it may take a few days to weeks to the dog’s personality to completely come out. Also, Zthe feeling you have of failing that dog are pretty strong, it’s never easy returning a shelter dog.
I did the proper meet and greet, the decompression days in one room, as much as I could. Then my new cat girl Rina fought brutally with my established female Angel but didn't mind the boys. I balled my eyes out returning her.
I had a similar situation. The dog kept getting more aggressive as time went on. We would take all three of our dogs out to play all time as we had a very large fenced in yard. She started going after my 55 lb Dalmatian. I should have known right then but I just kept thinking she would chill out. A few weeks after adopting her she killed one of our beloved cats. Part of me has never forgiven myself. She went back the next day 😞
Absolutely not your fault and you did the right thing! You *tried* to make it work but when it became clear it wouldn't you made the hard decision to admit it wasn't the right match even if it hurt. These things happen all the time and it's horribly sad for everyone, but it's the responsible thing to do. You can't keep dogs in a situation where they're fighting and miserable.
That is absolutely reasonable and responsible. From experience, most homes don't try nearly that hard before giving up. They won't do the basics such as time to decompress, crate train, exercise, and patience. It also means you took care of your existing pets. Sorry you had to go through that; not easy and we worry about the babies we couldn't add to our homes. 😔💚
I love how enthusiastic you are about comforting the scared ones. It breaks my heart when we hear "owner known" and then they don't get fetched. If my lab gets out and some calls me, I'll drive across Africa to go fetch her. 😢
Ach menno so unglaublich viele verängstigte Herzchen 😭 Was haben kaltherzig Leute nur mit denen gemacht😡😝👊 Tausend Dank für die Hilfe von lieben Menschen ❤💋
Your channel is addictive … I love dogs and cats … had 2 different chow chows in my life and they were great … now I have a white persian cat with blue eyes named Sir Munchkin… keep up the good work … every time I see your channel you get 1 million more subscribers … I predict you will hit 100 millions subscribers in the next 12 months … great for you and all the dogs you are literally saving ❤
I took in a 10 month old Italian greyhound afraid of his own shadow.. it’s been 2 months and he is doing great! He would run from me and he would shake and it was heartbreaking .. but with patience, love, and encouragement dogs will progress.. never give up on a dog!! That dog feels your emotions so if you can be calm, loving, and patient and let them have a safe space they will eventually trust and learn to be a pet!! ❤🎉 Princess!! You are important! You are loved!! And you deserve a home as regal as your name!!❤😊
Princess is a beautiful shepherd. She's smart and loyal. She will protect and love her forever family. Your baby steps with her are making all the difference.
Aww. I adopted a senior great Dane (4yrs) and she was so shutdown and skittish. It took her a year to show us what sort of mischief she could get into. She's 9 now and living her best life, as she should be
@@deliriouscheeto Great Danes average life span is 6-8 years so once they get around 4/5 they are considered senior as they are reaching the final years of their life.
@@kikidevine694Great Danes average life span is 6-8 years so once they get to around 4/5 they are considered a senior dog as they are in their final years of life.
So happy for Princess. Our neighbor dog is a big German shepherd. He is beautiful! I love watching all that you do. I am a fairly new member and I would give more if I could. God Bless you Rocky and all who work with you behind the scenes❤️
My best friend of 15 years, Buster, passed away in Sept and when I saw bucky and buddy jump in your lap I just started bawling. So happy to hear they both found homes!
I know there can be extenuating circumstances involved (e.g. financial, ailing health, etc.), but beyond that, how someone and/or some family can be so heartless and just abandon a dogs like Princess, then Buddy/Bucky is beyond me??? They all seem like the sweetest dogs. Glad they found homes.
Why shouldn't you trend on TH-cam? Your work is beautiful, heart warming, and changes so many lives. I can't think of anything better to trend and TH-cam staff should be trending MORE of this kind of content-uplifting, inspiring, hope.
Every dog deserves a home, but not every home deserves a dog! It's so sad, dogs are better then some humans, more loyal then some humans. I just found your channel, keep doing what you doing! Greetings from the Netherlands 👋🏻
I AGREE 100% ANIMALS ARE TO BE LOVED AND SHOULD BE PART OF OUR FAMILY. OPEN THE DOOR OF YOUR HOME( ONLY IF YOU ARE GOING TO COMMIT TO LOVE AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF GOD'S BEAUTIFUL CREATURS.)
I have known about your channel for a while now and I think 🤔 maybe people should start thinking about something other than themselves.Animals dogs 🐕 includid are all part of the ecosystem /part of this world 🌍.Look after them and Human and the world 🌍 will 😓 carryon,by the way Princess is a nice looking 👀 ing animal I would have her if I could…
I love this channel but my heart aches everytime I watch. I recently lost my 19 year old cat Leo. I've had both cats and dogs over the years... loved them all...but Leo was different. Being a Maine Coon he was affectionate, beautiful and VERY smart. I could (and did) walk him regularly and he always stayed by my side...like a trained dog. He was my bed mate, constant companion and best friend. The grief I've experienced in losing him has been overwhelming. I am 68 years old and fear that another pet could outlive me (my health is good). I have thought that I may want to adopt another cat...perhaps an older one that needs a home. My life is so lonely now...
Have you considered fostering? Shelters are so full, and you could help them make more space for other cats. I’m so sorry for your loss. My cat Toby was 22 1/2 years old when he passed in 2021. He lived with my mom, but I was definitely his human.
When my Puggy Girl died from a Vet's mistake with meds I couldn't leave our home for 5 days. Just couldn't open the door. She went with me everywhere - or I didn't go. A neighbor said to me when I finally had to go out alone, without my sweet girl, to get the mail, "Our KD is gone. I knew when you were alone she was gone." It's true. The community loved my sweet and joyful Pug. My beloved husband, Mother, Stepsister and Son in law [my daughter might have divorced but he was like my son] and my best friend and our 3 senior Dogs died within two years. Rescuing little KD Pug after my Husband , Mom and 3 senior Dogs died within 9 months of each other gave me a reason to get up in the morning. And she was there by my side when my best friend, stepsister and son in law passed too soon. KD Pug was so human in her behavior and a joy to take traveling. After KD died, I took care of other people's Dogs when needed but I couldn't, for the first time in my life, commit to adopting another dog. But three years later I met an abused small Chi with cancer, abandoned, and so scared of everything. My heart just woke up. Please adopt right away. First thing I did was get great Godparents for Bailey in case I died first. Also an insurance policy so they could give him everything he needed without their other Dogs sacrificing anything. I can't even remember anything from the 3 years between KD Pug dying and my adopting Bailey my little Chi. I understand how you are suffering. The love of a Dog and Cat is so comforting and loyal and unselfish and so naturally fun - a joy to be with. Please go find your Joy❤
I have a rescue dog and I am nearly 69. I have made arrangements with my daughter, who is exceptional with animals to take him if anything happens to me …. Is there anyway you could do this? My dog Chad is the love of my life and I wouldn’t want to live without him
Sadly sometimes the owners pass away, especially with Covid lately. Lots of sad stories about that. Even more of a reason to go to shelters and help doggies (or other pets) who lost their family! 🥰🥰🥰
God Bless Nicole for adopting Carly/Honey. I wish we had adopters like you for all of these worthy animals. Seeing her Pupdate made me cry! I love you & her!
I’m in the U.K., I have a 9 year old very spoilt cavalier King Charles spaniel, I admit I’m nervous of ‘big dogs’, but watching Rocky with these dogs makes me cry every time, well done in all the brilliant work you do x😊
My new rescue chewed the end off my rocker foot the bottom of my china cabinet and 20 antique books. He had diarrhea for FIVE months and we have beige carpet but we didn’t give up. NATE has our whole heart. Been 2 years now.
I'm so relieved when I read that people don't give up on the way to healing, which I many cases must be achieved & in the process may have lost many valuable things, but onward & upward they go & all I have to say is, Thank you for persevering & your entertaining description made me laugh out loud..! May God bless you richly for your love & sense of humour... 😂❤
I am so happy to hear about Pruncess being adopted. I truly hope that everything goes well for her and her new family. She's going to be a much-loved member of the family. ❤
Thank you to all that have worked together to get Princess a better life. Filled with Love and Happiness ❤❤❤ what a great dog she will be for he and his grandmother , and how smart is the grandmother!!!😀❤❤❤❤
My girl Shepherd passed in May and I still cry for her everyday. I was 44 yrs old and she was my first dig as an adult that I was responsible for lol. She was 11 months old when she chose me for her person. She would have never survived in a shelter. She would either have been labeled aggressive and put down or would have been mentally damaged forever. Please never judge a GSD in a shelter, who acts out. This video is breaking my heart. My Zoe was the bestest, smartest good girl. Everyone who met her absolutely fell in love with her. She changed so many people who thought GSD were mean police dogs 🤦🏼♀️.She loved me so much and I her. I can't imagine what it would have done to her heart if she was taken from me and put in a shelter. My heart literally broke the night she passed. I haven't been the same since. Princess looks just like my Zoe 💜 I'm so glad she was adopted ❤
Your influence is reaching as far as Australia! Just heard a friend adopted a rescue because of watching your videos. Thank you for all you do, and so happy to hear Princess got herself a lovely home. :)

Good girl Princess! Good girl!
I’m the first
You got this princess!!!
Princess you are loved
She looks like the sweetest German Shepherd ever I have one personally and she is so sweet I think that she deserves the best owner and someone who would love and care for her and the name is very fitting she looks like a princess!
Thank you to everyone for bringing Princess Zoe attention. If it wasn’t for Rocky and his amazing team i would have never known about this amazingly sweet girl. She is recovering from her spay currently but is doing well. Princess Zoe has already found a special place in my heart and I truly love her deeply. I am beyond blessed and proud to say she is my pup she is truly one of a kind. Once again thank you everyone and to Rocky and his team.
Congrats & thank you for giving Princess Zoe a loving home, Zach!
She looks like such a sweetheart 😍
Congratulations and thank you for rescuing her❤
Pawsitively WONDERFUL, Zach!! A LONG and joyful life to you and SWEET Princess Zoe, home and SAFE together!!!🐾🐾😇💖✨
beautiful message to read on thanksgiving ❤you are kind and bless you both and everyone
You are a hero.
Sophia's story got me in the heart. My current dog ended up in the shelter because he had terrible separation anxiety and couldn't adapt to his owner having to return to the office. They did try for months but he kept panicking, howling, destroying things, broke out a few times. It turned out I was the perfect adopter because I work from home--and then unexpectedly, my cat immediately became a momma cat to him. She grooms him all the time and cuddles with him. Because I had the freedom of my schedule, I was able to work on the separation anxiety gradually. It's been 18 months. I think he'll always be on the more velcro-dog side, but he can stay home alone, can stay with family/friends, and has become a great office buddy. Sometimes certain dogs do need certain environments.
And it just takes time, patience, and love.
I wonder if that is the answer sometimes a pet needs a pet.
Hi
And that does suggest that any shelter would do well to have an animal behavior consultant who could give volunteer phone advice about what such a dog might need so that people know what their pet is going through, how they can help and that it will be a good match. If not they won't feel pressured to adopt because they will have an animal behaviorist saying yes this may work out but it also may not be the easiest environment for the pet and maybe it would be better to let someone else adopt who is an easy environment. Does an animal behaviorist could make a comment online about the type of home that would be most likely to help I think that for all the people who would hesitate because they were not that kind of home they would be others that would be more confident in reaching out because they would realize oh that's me that's the environment that this dog needs to become a wonderful pet and we can provide it. I think it would be a plus period of course Rocky is becoming more and more knowledgeable about rescued pets needs and behavior all the time and people love to ask him questions for that very reason❤
I have given away a dog before thinking she would be better in another home, something I regretted the moment I drove away.
I cried my heart out for months. I begged the couple to return her, and they refused. To this day, my heart is sick, longing for her back. 😢 I don't know how anyone can not be heart sick over the loss of a dog.
It's so sad that Princess's family did not look for her...glad she got adopted. But I was hoping she would be reunited

Way to go Princess. Have a great life.
Mel is indeed an absolute amazing human being! Thank you for your loving dedication to all those dogs! Thank you!

I lost one of my sons (30 year old) and my dog of 14 years, all within 6 months. I went into a deep dark hole for about a year. Then I adopted Boomer last month!! Shepard mix. 1.5 years old. He's changed me!!! Love him so much! And he's so smart!! Bless you people!!
I am So Sorry for your Losses, but am So Happy to hear that you added Boomer to your Family! All the Best Wishes for You and your new Pup!!!
I am so very sorry for your loss. God bless and keep you and Boomer. Dogs are made of fairy dust and ❤️ pure love❤
I am so sorry. Im glad youre doing better.
I lived that same experience, but it was my only son. Had I not had my fluffy children, don't think I would have gotten through it.
Domestic animals are a gift and the abandoned ones need love + food +water + LOVE!
I'm so sorry and can't imagine your pain. I know Boomer will help you because my Kobe saved me!!
She is happier then she ever was and i knew she was gonna climb on your lap before she did
The hard part of watching your videos is that I tear up with every story ❤️
Me too. It reminds me so much of children or women that are abused. The amount of fear, and mistrust are the same. It takes time for them to go through the process to be able to love again. Being betrayed is the worst thing to happen. Having the patience to let the process take its course is heaven sent. 😇❤️
My friend’s dog does that “chomping “ all the time….her vet says it is a sign of contentment 🐶
The 2 cutest lil doggies I Love Bucky his Daddy Buddy
i am crying, i want them all, i have 5 rescues and they are my life, but the fact is they rescued me, they rescued me from a lost broken heart, PLEASE ADOPT
Thnk you. I am working on it. Want to get myself set up with some space. I hear you.
I wish for everyone in need of a loving pet-friend to please adopt. Saving an animal from the shelter feels immensely better than paying a breeder for one.
DITTO 💜🐶
Bless you. 🎉
Nancy I am so sorry about all your losses..
I started crying instantly hearing Princess got adopted I was REALLY rooting for that girl!! I'm sad her family never came to get her but hopefully this new family will love her for the rest of her life!! YAY PRINCESS!!!
Me to
Me to sad her family didn't come for her ! But she deserves a better family that would not get rid of her ❤
@@dianeratti5644 It absolutely puzzles me that a family would bother to Microchip Princess but NOT love her enough to come get her!! Makes me CRY how SAD and confused she must be wondering what she did WRONG! 😩💕
I hope she’s happy with her new family and has many years eith them for the rest of her life. She’s such a beautiful girl. Great temperament.
I love this channel and yes, I cried, too! What a day-brightener😊 "Honey" is the perfect name for her (from her beautiful coat to her sweet temperament)
Cynthia is the best home because she had a Malmute before and understands the breed.
Yea I was very happy to hear that 🙂
I tried to adopt a Husky about two years ago. Poor baby ended up biting my husband and tried to bite two more guys. I live close to a park with a ton of young people who walk by. I didn't want anyone to get hurt. I felt like an absolute failure of a human for having to take him back. I sobbed as I filled out the paperwork.
I stayed in touch with the shelter and found out he was adopted to a single female home and is flourishing now.
You're right, sometimes it's just not the right fit, and I can't beat myself up for it not working out. I still think of him often. Thank you for saying it.
I ended up adopting a 10 week old GSD a couple weeks later. She was part of a court surrender with her brother and Mom. She is now best friends with my older rescue GSD.
It always depends on why a dog is returned. If it bites men, it likely has bad experiences and would have to go through lots of added stress for it to work out. It's much better just to ease the dog into getting to know men, without having one around 24/7.
❤ you are so right ✅️ just like humans relationship

wonderful news Princess is getting adopted, that Grandma is v wise , shew is soooo special, bless Zachary too, lovely peoplexxx awesome
There are so many elderly that would benefit from having access to animals. I'm beyond shocked that more retirement homes and elder care facilities don't partner with shelters to give both the humans and the animals the social contact they both desperately need.
The nursing home near my house had a Shepard mix. My mom was there for a year. The dog made all the residents so happy! The dog free-roamed the floor, visiting with all the folks. They all looked forward to the visits!
I so much agree
Why did I have a vision of this kind of thing happening recently? Glad to see I’m not the only one thinking about this!
I have a friend who brings her therapy dog to nursing homes. He makes everyone's day brighter!
She belongs to an organization that trains dogs to do this. So, take heart as I'm sure there are many more around the country doing this too!
I definitely agree with you on that. This would have an amazingly impactful, positive impact

Im almost in tears that Princess got adopted. I am so happy thay she has a home. Thank u to all that helped her
Rocky Greta saw you cry she wanted to comfort you.
He looks like a pure shepherd
We had a Chow/Shepard rescue that looked a lot like Princess. It was a divorce situation, and she was lost when we got her. She was my truck dog. She would sit in the front passenger seat and check everything out. She didn't know she was a beast; she was just an old soul. She was also my lap dog. Thank you for the love and care you show in every video.

Heartbreaking. God bless you to man.
maybe it was covid? who knows. that's too much pain to go through.
Isn’t the saddest thing ever? There’s nothing you can say to make that pain any better. Animals can be so great for healing. I’m so happy her adoptive fur baby can give her some comfort !❤️❤️

Your name may be Princess,but you are a QUEEN!! Such a sweet girl❤❤❤
YES 🙌
She’s a sweet, scared girl……sending love to Princess and to all the staff who love and care for these precious souls.
You all do a fabulous job, so caring.
For whatever reason Princess is in the shelter, I hope she is in her furever home with no return, because the adopter has had experience with GSD.
@@hazelco8622She is Precious. I love GS. They are amazing.
I've got a dogo that's nearly 1:1 to princess, also a scaredy GSD who even looks similar and I would take her in in seconds if I wasn't on other side of the globe. Sad to see her there.
Mel is an angel, and SO good with all of the dogs. I love how the dogs warm up to her when she gets the sudsy soap going, and the scratchy rubs and face rubs. She's a lovely person.
We adopted a black cocker spaniel/Irish setter fifteen years ago. Molly is an ancient blind-deaf crone now but I still love her after all this time.
Please, give your Pyrenees space to roam and run. I grew with those shepherd dogs. They are majestic, courageous, lords of the Pyrenees. Traditionally they were raised amidst their sheep family. Mothers would live and give birth in the barn, with their Flock. Once, shepherds would put a wooden collar pierced with looong nails around their neck, so that if wild animals do attack the dog, they’ll be wounded by the nails and run away.
I grew up with German shepards and Princess is a beautiful fog. So glad she was adopted!
My baby is jet black and I adopted her years ago and it’s been the greatest coming together of all time😮
Im so happy for Princess. Thank you for what you are doing. You are an Angel for them.
LOVE your channel and energy brother! I just bought $50 worth of dog treats from you, that I don't really need, but just because I'd like to support you and your amazing work, channel, and love for these awesome critters. My hat is off to you!!
The two small dog father,& son are so cute...
I just saw that Princess was adopted !❤ so happy for her and it’s awesome !
We adopted a larger poodle from the shelter. I think he had a mix in him. Going home Dusty sat between our seats looking all around. We kept his name. He came in our house looked around downstairs, went upstairs, came back downstairs and sat down. He was like I'm home. He was such a good dog. We had little kids in the home and we all got along great.
I love poodles and poodle mixes. I have a Yorkiepoo named Lulu and a Morkie named Rastus Bear. Raz has a wonky leg. And Lulu has "issues" But they are perfect in my eyes. And a great thing about "Littles" is they can, with loving care, live for many years.
Dusty was the name of my childhood dog. This is the first time I've heard it on a video. If their adopted dog is half as good as my Dusty they will have a wonderful life together. ❤❤❤❤
Did you lose him? Wondering since you are speaking in past tense.
Just came here to encourage people to take the shy ones home. When we adopted our dog she wouldn't move for weeks. We had to carry her outside, carry her around and even go out of the room so she were confident enough to eat and drink. It took months for her to crack the shell of trauma she experienced and what can I say, she's the most beautiful thing that ever came to our families life and the first two complicated years were absolutely worth the patience and work we put in to develop her confidence and feeling of safety. She's absolutely gorgeous and befriended lots of dogs around here which we never thought could ever happen. Sometimes I feel like all it needs is love and patience when it comes to the shy and frightened ones.
A dog like that is not for everyone, needs a special patient pack leader, so glad they found you.
That's such a wonderful story. Thank you for giving your dog such a caring home 💗
You are a hero. 🙏🙏❤️❤️
So happy 😁 you took her 🏡,that’s overwhelming and what ovisly needed to happen,GOOD ON YOU. You helped a life
Thank you. Those who have been through trauma, and cannot even speak the same language, your patience, if more people even tried to be half as patient with animals and people who have suffered trauma, this world could be so much more beautiful.
I know why you have over 4 million subscribers. Because you make dogs and people very happy.
I am so happy for princess and her new owners ❤ thank you all
My cat Princess was sleeping on my lap when you said Princess. She woke up and turned towards the sound. Just shows how important a name is for our pets😊
And cats understand english just as well as dogs, they just pretend that they dont😉
My vet was so impressed with my old cat Birdie knowing her name. ❤
My cat is also called Princess. ❤🐱🐈🐶🐕
15:10 - Can we just take a minute to consider this poor lady who lost her husband, brother, AND son in the past year 😥😥- Hopefully Bucky will bring some light into her life that, I can only imagine, must be feeling so dark after her losses.
Yes, so sad! But what a perfect little guy for her. He seemed to be such an affectionate little pup, which should help her emotionally. Also, older people can't always deal with the big dogs, so it's good to see the little ones sometimes!
That's an unimaginable amount of pain and loss. For Nancy to have space in her heart and make space in her life, in the midst of all of that grief, to open her home to a pup... truly speaks to what a wonderful person she is too. I wish her healing and contentment with her new pup. She deserves all the love
What an wonderful guy the world need more like him keep up the good job.
@ c4sper8 bucky has a new family
The joy on your face when you hand over or pass one of your dogs to their new furever home, makes my heart smile, thank you Rocky ❤
Back in the day, my dad was a K9 instructor for the police department in Germany.We’re talking the late 40’s here. German shepherds were his choice for dog training because of their intelligence and the loyalty to “ there person”. He would have taken Princess in a heartbeat. He had the same quiet demeanor, as you do, Rocky. Again, like you he had the patience of a saint. Keep doing what you do best. The dogs and the world need more people like you. Much love from northern Ontario Canada.🇨🇦 ❤
I'm not even a big dog person, but never ever stop doing what you do. All animals deserve love.
Uh oh, are you a ..... "cat person"? (making the sign of the cross) 😂
Cat people >... A lot of dog people are psychos@@vaginettamcsnapper
@Shaweaeon dogs are AWESOME
💕 🐕 ❤ I sure hope that someone talked to the people who took Marty about getting their female spayed.
People's lives sometimes collapse. Buddy and Bucky are both sweet little affectionate dogs who look like they have not been mistreated. So GLAD they got adopted. How about the other 3?
We have 2 Shepherds here in Yorkshire, UK They are an amazing breed, Our male has even played Parent to Kittens and other Animals He is So Calm around all other dogs too
That Chiquita girl broke my heart, she’s been through a lot😢
Princess is an absolute darling, hope she is happy getting all the love she deserves.
Princess has the SADDEST EYES I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!! SOOOOOOO HAPPY SHE HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!!!
I would never change her name she is a true Princesscongratulations Sweet Girl you deserve the world ! There are still Good People in this World!
I just saw the video where Princess, the German Shepherd, has been adopted. Apparently, the man's Grandmother saw Princess's video and told her Grandson to go get that dog. I am praying for Princess to have a wonderful and long life. I had my German Shepherd, Lizz, for over 14 years, and I will love her forever.
As a child, I had a half malamute, half German Sheppard mix, and he slept outside during the winter in Colorado. I remember him sleeping curled up on the snow with a local wild (but very friendly) orange tomcat who visited us every couple of weeks. The wind was blowing flakes of snow over them and ruffling their fur as they both slept with their tails near their noses, and my dog curled around the cat. A treasured memory of my childhood.
Sad that he stayed outside in the cold and hot weather. My mother wouldn't ever do it.😔
I grew up on a farm back in the 1940-50's and I remember many dogs that we had and they weren't in the house overnight so they found refuge in the barn with all the cows. This was in Pennsylvania and the winters were usually very cold with lots of snow. I always felt sorry for them and I wish they could have stayed in the house with us.😪😔
@@Jeannete-hc2gv Malamutes are bred for very cold weather, and my dog never wanted to sleep inside, and preferred to sleep outside in the snow. Us kids tried to get the tomcat to come inside, but he also preferred the outside.
@@GoCoyote exactly, some breeds can never love the indoors. I love Malamutes but would never have one because I live in a hot climate. Humans need to understand THEIR needs.
I have a doberman, and she loves playing in the snow. and of course, she has no fur because...doberman. she literally refuses to come inside when it's snowing. she's out there having too much fun 😂 I have to be the killjoy and warm her up with towels fresh from the dryer.
Oh my, i thought maybe it was you taking Champ!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
People driving hours to see these amazing dogs is testimony of the wonderful work you all do. Dogs may be the best thing God ever created!!!
Spell dog backwards god
Dog god same thing
I really love princess she seems so sweet. I adopted a german shepard a year ago that was very sick and only weighed 48lbs it took a long time to get her healthy. Now she is the most loveable goofball. I am now in love with german shepards. I will adopt more of them. Thanks Rocky for the stories and especially the updates.
I got a great name for a dog, Bosco. ❤️🙏🌹
Thanks... so much for what you all do. This small amount is perhaps for anything the shelter might need- soft blankets, toys, or treats. Good girl, Princess!! All my love for your future, I bet it's going to be super bright. Rocky- you're the best! And go Kobe aka Bucky and Buddy!!!
Thank you
❤️
Thank you so much!!! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you! Currently we are passing funds on for things just like that. I bought some dog bowls this weekend for the shelter so we could serve thanksgiving meals to the dogs and we are covering a lot of adoption fees. Your support is helping with these efforts. Thank you so much 🤙
Thank you! ❤❤❤❤
I am trying to do what you do to help dogs … to humans trying to fix abs optimize their brain health as they age. You are truly an inspiration to me to try to help people either their brain health. You are awesome! Thanks so much!
As a owner of 3 mastiffs and ashes of a bulldog they r very happy to see that they have people that care for them❤
I found this on the internet. While teeth chattering can be a sign of pain, seizures, or a neurological disorder, these are not the only causes. Sometimes, dogs will also chatter their teeth simply because they are feeling cold, nervous, or excited. Smelling strong scents can sometimes bring on this response in dogs as well. He might have been excited, my nephews dog does that everytime I go over and visit because he is so happy to see me.
I foster for Loved Again Pets here in Springfield Oregon. I recently fostered a dog who had a similar 'chomping' habit. Was told he had been doing that for years. When I felt the temporal-mandibular joint when he was 'chomping', I could feel it 'snap' like there was a misalignment or ligament issue. It also looked like his back molars were large and farther back than normal. He was a 15# poodle mix, so misalignment of jaws a possibility.
The medical reasons are the most likely causes, but another possibility to consider is some dogs do this if they were kept in cages for very extended periods of time, and got in the habit of chewing the bars (even more so if they were doing so desperately). Even after they are no longer caged, it can be something like a conditioned response after that. Again, the medical options are still the most likely, and would be the things to check first, but I did see the cage chewing in a few rescues, so it's something to keep in mind if other things have been ruled out.
We adopted a dog and the meet and greet with our smaller gog went great. She was a medium size dog on the smaller size. After about 2 days of no problems between the two pups, she started playing extremely ruff with our sm dog. Going as far trying to pick up our pup by the head, not easily letting go and trying to toss her up in the air. This was the 5th dog we’ve adopted so I’m not new to this. We kept her for 1 1/2 weeks, but the situation was just getting more aggressive each day. We finally decided we had no choice but to return her. It was so hard and sad to return her, but for her sake I knew she needed a different home. I feel stupid but I actually cried. It took about a month but she found her forever home where she was the only pet and gets all the attention. So try not to be to hard on those of us that find ourselves in this horrible situation. When adopting a dog with no history it may take a few days to weeks to the dog’s personality to completely come out. Also, Zthe feeling you have of failing that dog are pretty strong, it’s never easy returning a shelter dog.
I did the proper meet and greet, the decompression days in one room, as much as I could. Then my new cat girl Rina fought brutally with my established female Angel but didn't mind the boys. I balled my eyes out returning her.
Thanks for your sharing. You’re not a failure!!
I had a similar situation. The dog kept getting more aggressive as time went on. We would take all three of our dogs out to play all time as we had a very large fenced in yard. She started going after my 55 lb Dalmatian. I should have known right then but I just kept thinking she would chill out. A few weeks after adopting her she killed one of our beloved cats. Part of me has never forgiven myself. She went back the next day 😞
Absolutely not your fault and you did the right thing! You *tried* to make it work but when it became clear it wouldn't you made the hard decision to admit it wasn't the right match even if it hurt. These things happen all the time and it's horribly sad for everyone, but it's the responsible thing to do. You can't keep dogs in a situation where they're fighting and miserable.
That is absolutely reasonable and responsible. From experience, most homes don't try nearly that hard before giving up. They won't do the basics such as time to decompress, crate train, exercise, and patience. It also means you took care of your existing pets. Sorry you had to go through that; not easy and we worry about the babies we couldn't add to our homes. 😔💚
The little bowties from Buddy and Bucky. SO CUTE! they are so sweet
The pictures of Bucky and the adoptive family are perfect.
I love how enthusiastic you are about comforting the scared ones. It breaks my heart when we hear "owner known" and then they don't get fetched. If my lab gets out and some calls me, I'll drive across Africa to go fetch her. 😢
Absolutely! I would never stop looking for my baby. No matter how far I would do it in a heartbeat ❤
Ach menno so unglaublich viele verängstigte Herzchen 😭 Was haben kaltherzig Leute nur mit denen gemacht😡😝👊 Tausend Dank für die Hilfe von lieben Menschen ❤💋

I took in a 10 month old Italian greyhound afraid of his own shadow.. it’s been 2 months and he is doing great! He would run from me and he would shake and it was heartbreaking .. but with patience, love, and encouragement dogs will progress.. never give up on a dog!! That dog feels your emotions so if you can be calm, loving, and patient and let them have a safe space they will eventually trust and learn to be a pet!! ❤🎉
Princess!! You are important! You are loved!! And you deserve a home as regal as your name!!❤😊
Champ is just like every boxer I’ve ever met. Absolutely love to visit them, no way I could have one a a pet 😂
Princess is a beautiful shepherd. She's smart and loyal. She will protect and love her forever family. Your baby steps with her are making all the difference.
Thanks! Please use for whichever pup needs it. Thank you for all the love you give these precious pups!
Hooorah, so happy for Princess. ❤
Aww. I adopted a senior great Dane (4yrs) and she was so shutdown and skittish. It took her a year to show us what sort of mischief she could get into. She's 9 now and living her best life, as she should be
4 years is hardly a senior?

Senior?

I know there can be extenuating circumstances involved (e.g. financial, ailing health, etc.), but beyond that, how someone and/or some family can be so heartless and just abandon a dogs like Princess, then Buddy/Bucky is beyond me??? They all seem like the sweetest dogs. Glad they found homes.
I'm so sorry for your loss...
Sorry. 🐾
I hope they went together.

Every dog deserves a home, but not every home deserves a dog! It's so sad, dogs are better then some humans, more loyal then some humans. I just found your channel, keep doing what you doing! Greetings from the Netherlands 👋🏻
Agree 100% dogs are better than most humans.
Very well said, it’s true.
I AGREE 100% ANIMALS ARE TO BE LOVED AND SHOULD BE PART OF OUR FAMILY. OPEN THE DOOR OF YOUR HOME( ONLY IF YOU ARE GOING TO COMMIT TO LOVE AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF GOD'S BEAUTIFUL CREATURS.)
I have known about your channel for a while now and I think 🤔 maybe people should start thinking about something other than themselves.Animals dogs 🐕 includid are all part of the ecosystem /part of this world 🌍.Look after them and Human and the world 🌍 will 😓 carryon,by the way Princess is a nice looking 👀 ing animal I would have her if I could…
I like this saying. I’ve never heard it before but it’s so true.
I love this channel but my heart aches everytime I watch. I recently lost my 19 year old cat Leo. I've had both cats and dogs over the years... loved them all...but Leo was different. Being a Maine Coon he was affectionate, beautiful and VERY smart. I could (and did) walk him regularly and he always stayed by my side...like a trained dog. He was my bed mate, constant companion and best friend. The grief I've experienced in losing him has been overwhelming. I am 68 years old and fear that another pet could outlive me (my health is good). I have thought that I may want to adopt another cat...perhaps an older one that needs a home. My life is so lonely now...
I love Maine Coons, they are truly special.
Have you considered fostering? Shelters are so full, and you could help them make more space for other cats.
I’m so sorry for your loss. My cat Toby was 22 1/2 years old when he passed in 2021. He lived with my mom, but I was definitely his human.
When my Puggy Girl died from a Vet's mistake with meds I couldn't leave our home for 5 days. Just couldn't open the door. She went with me everywhere - or I didn't go. A neighbor said to me when I finally had to go out alone, without my sweet girl, to get the mail, "Our KD is gone. I knew when you were alone she was gone." It's true. The community loved my sweet and joyful Pug. My beloved husband, Mother, Stepsister and Son in law [my daughter might have divorced but he was like my son] and my best friend and our 3 senior Dogs died within two years. Rescuing little KD Pug after my Husband , Mom and 3 senior Dogs died within 9 months of each other gave me a reason to get up in the morning. And she was there by my side when my best friend, stepsister and son in law passed too soon. KD Pug was so human in her behavior and a joy to take traveling. After KD died, I took care of other people's Dogs when needed but I couldn't, for the first time in my life, commit to adopting another dog. But three years later I met an abused small Chi with cancer, abandoned, and so scared of everything. My heart just woke up. Please adopt right away. First thing I did was get great Godparents for Bailey in case I died first. Also an insurance policy so they could give him everything he needed without their other Dogs sacrificing anything. I can't even remember anything from the 3 years between KD Pug dying and my adopting Bailey my little Chi. I understand how you are suffering. The love of a Dog and Cat is so comforting and loyal and unselfish and so naturally fun - a joy to be with.
Please go find your Joy❤
I have a rescue dog and I am nearly 69. I have made arrangements with my daughter, who is exceptional with animals to take him if anything happens to me …. Is there anyway you could do this? My dog Chad is the love of my life and I wouldn’t want to live without him
Oh dear you. I feel your pain 😥 I really hope you can get a companion somehow, to love again. 🦋 Sending love to you from Stockholm Sweden 💙😊💙
Sadly sometimes the owners pass away, especially with Covid lately. Lots of sad stories about that. Even more of a reason to go to shelters and help doggies (or other pets) who lost their family! 🥰🥰🥰
God Bless Nicole for adopting Carly/Honey. I wish we had adopters like you for all of these worthy animals. Seeing her Pupdate made me cry! I love you & her!
I’m in the U.K., I have a 9 year old very spoilt cavalier King Charles spaniel, I admit I’m nervous of ‘big dogs’, but watching Rocky with these dogs makes me cry every time, well done in all the brilliant work you do x😊
My new rescue chewed the end off my rocker foot the bottom of my china cabinet and 20 antique books. He had diarrhea for FIVE months and we have beige carpet but we didn’t give up. NATE has our whole heart. Been 2 years now.
I'm so relieved when I read that people don't give up on the way to healing, which I many cases must be achieved & in the process may have lost many valuable things, but onward & upward they go & all I have to say is, Thank you for persevering & your entertaining description made me laugh out loud..! May God bless you richly for your love & sense of humour... 😂❤
My pets are my kids! Nothing they do would make them disposable!
This hour long video made me cry. Rocky is amazing for doing this. ❤❤❤
I am so happy to hear about Pruncess being adopted. I truly hope that everything goes well for her and her new family. She's going to be a much-loved member of the family. ❤

He carried Carly down that aisle like a proud dad on his daughter's wedding day!
My girl Shepherd passed in May and I still cry for her everyday. I was 44 yrs old and she was my first dig as an adult that I was responsible for lol. She was 11 months old when she chose me for her person. She would have never survived in a shelter. She would either have been labeled aggressive and put down or would have been mentally damaged forever. Please never judge a GSD in a shelter, who acts out. This video is breaking my heart. My Zoe was the bestest, smartest good girl. Everyone who met her absolutely fell in love with her. She changed so many people who thought GSD were mean police dogs 🤦🏼♀️.She loved me so much and I her. I can't imagine what it would have done to her heart if she was taken from me and put in a shelter. My heart literally broke the night she passed. I haven't been the same since. Princess looks just like my Zoe 💜 I'm so glad she was adopted ❤
She is a magnificent dog !
Champ,,, you are terrific !!!
Omg, when u called Champ Bubba, i had to stop the video & walk away. My husband's already having a tough day, I don't need him to catch me sobbing.😅
Your influence is reaching as far as Australia! Just heard a friend adopted a rescue because of watching your videos. Thank you for all you do, and so happy to hear Princess got herself a lovely home. :)
