I will take all three of the dogs that you just sat with right now the two little ones with the Husky I will take those three but I need them transferred to Pueblo Colorado is that can be done I am more than willing to take them in and adopt them. That black one even is beautiful I don't know why anybody would abandon these beautiful animals
I was in my blanket because I was so cold but after I watch this video like halfway, I was still cold. I took off my blanket. I was so warm just a few minutes later.
Together is rarely a good thing as it creates sibling aggression or littermate syndrome. It might not manifest right away but it's a real thing. The place to separate them was not in a kennel though.
I adopted a bonded pair of nine year old girls who were taken to the shelter after their human went into a nursing home. They're 13 now and I'm still in love.❤
Our naughty boy, Bear, disappeared from our yard in May one year. My mom called “Problems & Solutions,” a local radio show, to ask people to watch out for him. He was gone almost a month, and Mom had just about given up hope. Then one day, a young lady attending uni the next city over called to say she might have our dog. Her mom came to visit, and said he looked like a dog from a radio program. While my mom was eating her heart out, Bear was living it up in a sorority house.
My German Shepherd also likes young, pretty ladies. When he was between 1 and 2 years old, he had wanderlust. He’d break out of the house and yard in all kinds of ways, and invariably, he’d be brought back by college-age girls. He’d stop traffic on our country road, and even if there were multiple cars stopped, he walk by them until he spotted a gal he liked, and he’d jump right into her car. He must’ve done it about five times before that phase petered out. No amount of intensity on his invisible fence collar would keep him in for awhile there.
My girl,Bhakti, was a boxer-Rottweiler mix from the shelter and was quite territorial so she didn’t want to share me with any other dog. Then one morning I looked out my back window to see her playing with a catahoula leopard hound. (He was terribly skinny with his ribs showing.) He came courting her early every morning for four days, until we could take him to a shelter and see if he had a chip. We were able to adopt him and they were best friends for years!!
@@patriciamarsh349 sure but if they’re not chipped there’s no hope of finding the owners. In Australia the chips are very reliable and most pets are chipped because they largely work. I had a much loved dog go missing and the only reason he was found was because he was chipped.
I live in The Netherlands. I just checked our national animal rescue/shelter and currently there are 119 dogs available for adoption. On a population of about 18 million people 😮. Everyone, please spay/neuter your pets. As for cats, 540, including kittens. Btw, I adopted my two tomcats from a shelter in 2018. Now they are 13 years old and have the best life.
Wow that is wonderful! Do these shelters use euthanasia? Unfortunately, the shelters use euthanasia here in the U.S. I am of Greek descent and follow shelters in Greece, where they are not allowed to euthanize the animals(which is better in my opinion).
We transport homeless animals from areas of abundance to where there are homes but not a lot of homeless animals. Other countries need your help. Animal advocates have no borders. We can all help each other
they will euthanise many dogs in Turkey :/ Im currently in Greece and treatment of dogs are even worse… Romania heard pretty bad too. If anyone has the ability you can easily adopt from these countries.
@@Bonnie-o8p Many Dutch people adopt these dogs too. I have an Italian rescue. My neighbour has a Romanian dog. In the dogpark of my neigbourhoud I know of a Greek another Romanian and Bulgarian dog... It's common. Many people would consider a rescue or shelterdogs above something else.
138 adoptions as of this video! That's a massive success! Think about the joy and love you've pulled off getting these wonderful pets into forever loving homes where they will live out their life in pure joy! Rocky you truly are a guardian angel.
I have had bonded pairs. It's actually very healthy for them. Dogs look out for each other, comfort each other there are so many advantages to True bonded pairs. Dogs can share a home with other dogs, but you can tell true bonded pairs.
Oh my goodness. They've obviously been loved and cared for. They probably snuck out of a back-yard fence near that playground. My Shih Tzu , Brandy, got out once and was missing for six weeks! I called every shelter and veterinarian and put up signs and pics in every local shop window with my name and number. I visited shelters and left my information. It wasn't until I put an ad in the Orlando Sentinel (I lived in East Orlando) that a couple who had found her and brought her home called me. They'd named her Candy, which rhymes with Brandy, so she learned her name quickly. I'd left a small award and thanked the family profusely for taking such good care of her. So, never give up and post everywhere, including the newspaper, and online, in shelters, local shops, and veterinarian offices. I got her microchipped after that. Apparently, she'd just gone into heat for the first time and wandered off. Thankfully, she wasn't pregnant, but I did ger her spayed after that incident, too.
Went to the doctor yesterday wearing my ‘sitting with dogs’ shirt. The receptionist went crazy. We talked about the show, shared what you do with everybody in the office. So much fun. Told her I have all 3 dog shirts now. 😊😊😊
We went to our vet for a regular check-up yesterday (we have 2 dogs and 2 cats). She always looks to see which "Sitting with Dogs" shirt we have on. We each have two different ones, and we share stories that we've seen!! Keep up the great work you all do. These dogs are so lucky to have you, Rocky!! And your whole team!!❤❤❤
Despite my long experience with rescues, my one big failure happened to be with a bonded brother-sister team of flat-coated retrievers. I had to return them to the shelter, the only time that’s ever happened to me, and it really shook my confidence. They were so into each other, as a pack, that I couldn’t get any cooperation or training with them. They tore the house apart. They eventually went to a woman with a farm, where they could live more freely. And I adopted a shepherd and a black lab. So it was a win-win.
My sister adopted siblings and they were luckily not as much of a challenge as your situation. But yes, bonded pairs are a handful and pose a different dynamic to socializing and training. It sounds like they did get a great home 🏡
I kept my whole dog family together (pitbull mom, chihuahua dad and their 3 kids) and I won’t ever do that again. The pack mentality is crazy and gets turned on, on a dime. I love them with all my heart but sometimes it’s problematic. Right now mom and oldest daughter are separated because they want to fight. It’s so hot right now I know that doesn’t help, plus we went right from the 4th to our statehood with means it’s been fireworks every damn night for weeks.
@@SagebrushRambles Are dogs different than cats? We were advised to adopt two males, preferably litter mates. We adopted 2 brothers in 2020, and they are affectionate with each other, but also us.
Those dogs have definitely been raised together in a home that took care of them. What gives? I would turn heaven and earth upside down to find my babies!
Maybe they died. Some people get ill and die and their pets end up in shelters. Most surviving family members do not see handling pets as the biggest priority ! It is why I no longer have lets as I am 82. Old age has limitations. I do not want to leave an animal behind !
May I point out two things...the shelter is emptier than it has been in a long time which gives everyone breathing space and your wife is beautiful. You all deserve a few days off now, even if you don't get any!
I love animals, Juan and I feed any and all strays. We live in Pharr, Tx and we dud have a Rescue lady that took a Tiny Chiwawa that was full of mange, and a stray dog, paid to get 3 female cats, and 2 male cats fixed. We are in our middle 70's . We are feeding 8 stray cats, but we cannot surrender the cats cuz they are euthanizing due to Shelters are full, so we will continue to feed them. I love watching your "Sitting With Dogs", and we are now members of Rocky Kanapa's team. I have learned alot watching you Rocky. We own 4 dogs, and 4 cats. Keep up the good work!
@@jameskostaras4778 Good point but they could have done that by standing there watching them eat. Separating them for that reason sounds like the more work option.
They were giving each other some body language that suggests that they *might*, but they also show they have a strong bond. For obvious reasons, shelters usually don't like to take risks in small spaces.
Their faces remind me of Irish wolfhounds, and I would say escapees. hope the owners show up. Beautiful pups, that need a strong dad or mom and lots of room to run. And a really high fence.
I am crying my eyes out over the brothers, how can anyone just dump 2 such sweet dogs? It is just as well I'm across the other side of the Atlantic as my Labrador passed away 2 weeks ago, and I miss her so much that I'd probably come home with every dog in the shelter
We don't know that they were dumped. They were found in a park and are clearly well looked after, so they might have escaped a yard or something along those lines.
I'm so hoping there is a Happy Ending update with these 2!! Really hoping they just escaped and their owners are looking all over from them! With so many people having fireworks these days maybe they just bolted when they heard them and kept running! When I was a kid we found 2 Airedale terriers running. We fiinally got them to come to us and luckily they had collars with tags. The owners were so happy and overwhelmed to have them back! They told us someone set off fireworks in the neighborhood and the dogs freaked out and busted through the fence in panic. They were miles from home when we found them. So I'm not giving up hope for these 2! Thank you for all you do! 🐾💜🐾💜
I adopted 2 sisters. No specific breed. They both have the same coloring but one is bigger with foppy ears and one is smaller with shorter legs and pointy ears. They're both very affectionate and loving living in the country.
I really hope Buzz & Woody get adopted together but if adopted separately I hope they thrive with their new families! I am not in social media, I only follow you on TH-cam. I have ordered your coffee for my friends. I don’t drink coffee. They love it.! For myself, I now have 2 Bean shirts!! Thank You Rocky, Kelly & Alexis! 🐾🐾🐾
Rocky, I live in Wildomar, Animal Friends of the Valley is my shelter. When people post on TH-cam about this shelter or on Facebook some people post it is a kill shelter. Can you please set them straight. It is so disheartening because I am sure some people believe it and won't rescue dogs and take them there. My daughter has taken kittens there from the stable where her horse is stabled and this shelter always adopts those kittens out within a few days. They are so kind there.
We adopted a bonded pair from a shelter during covid lockdown; 5 dogs had been brought in and 3 were already adopted to separate homes, but these 2 were to be adopted together. When we got them they were recovering from starvation (hip bones stuck out like those starved horse hips), dental had been done and most of their teeth had to be removed, they were scared of everything that moved or made noise. Fast forward 4 yrs and they still often sleep together, still are easily startled by quick moving anything (that will likely always be true), our laps, couch cushion, foot of bed, under a throw or blanket, are their safe spots. Getting a bonded pair has been great. Do they ever get grumpy with each other... on rare occassion... but we stop that nonesense then they are fine. Don't fear getting bonded pairs, just be aware they will each have different personalities, quirks, triggers you will have to learn, and they may still be adjusting months later. Well worth the effort.
@@torinsall I have 2 female Cavalier King Charles Spaniels that I adopted through a rescue group. They were relinquished by an Amish puppy mill. They came as a bonded pair, and I was the only one interested in adopting both. I don't know if they are siblings, one is a Blenheim and one is a Ruby. They have two very different personalities and I love how different they are. I can't imagine life without them.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
PLEASE MICROCHIP YOUR PETS EVERYONE, it's so important, and can often mean the difference between getting a beloved pet back, and not. Also good luck Woody and Buzz. I am just hoping and praying with all of my heart, that someone can open their hearts to both of you, and have the space, and the means to keep you both together 🙏🙏🙏
I love Woody and Buz!! They are such handsome boys!! I hope they get to stay together, but you are right...main thing is having a family. They are so young, they can adapt. I'm so excited to hear final results of this week!! I'm in Kentucky, but I'm so invested in this week!! You are doing the Lord's work...never doubt that!
It’s so nice of you and your team to take the dog under your wing Rocky, bless you and them. I’m glad he reunited with his brother too. Thanks for this video Rocky I appreciate it.
I’m obsessed with ‘sitting with the dogs’! Dogs are like people; they all have a story … it’s very kind and special of you to learn as much as possible about their background. You are making a difference when they feel the love, it’s gives them confidence! I hope these brothers can stay together. I’ve had dogs all my life and homed a number of them when properties I sold couldn’t care for them. Thank you 🙏
EXCELLENT COMMENT!! IM 83 HAVE BIG CAT ADOPTED ME 8 YRS AGO LOOKS LIKE PART MAINECOON GOOD COMPANY!! YOUR CHANNEL IS VERY PLEASING TO WATCH YOUR GIFT EXTENDS TO CALMING YOUR VIEWERS ITS SUCH A BLESSING. THANK YOU ROCKY & WIFE!!❤GRMA NANCY
I pray these dogs owners are looking for them. They are so well taken care of, i can't believe they were just dumped. It costs alot to keep them groomed like this. And they are well behaved and seemed loved.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Please keep us updated on these and the other dogs featured this week. PLEASE ROCKY PLEASE
I live in England, I wanted to buy a shirt to support these pups, tried your link but TH-cam say's "Based on your country or location, it isn't possible to view or shop the products in this collection." I read these boy's story on your website, so adorable it choked me up; really hope these beautiful boys get to stay together.
I hope these two were adopted together. In my opinion, I think it’s more important that the two that are bonded go together and if someone wants one of them and they truly love animals, they will be willing to take both . Splitting them up, just adds to the heartache of their story.
Yikes! I moved to a new apartment with my furbabies a month ago! With your talk about microchips, it reminded me that I still have to update their info! Thanks.
Oh man Rocky, this broke my heart! Then again they all do that to me. I live alone with my rescue dog and I wish I could have more. I love what you do for these dogs. We really don’t deserve them do we? I try to earn the loyalty that I get from mine. Keep up the good work you’re doing! Thank you Rocky
I adopted a Jack Russell 4 year old terrier 4 years ago after losing the luv of my life JR, Pippin the previous year. Ellie was surrendered along with a male and had recently had puppies. She was scared, nippy and un-adoptable. I lived in Oregon and she was in Florida and no plane due to Covid. I hired a couple to drive her out to Oregon. Ellie didn’t know anything and had never been house trained, or held and cuddled. It has been 4 years now and she is quite a different dog now and is very attached to me. She now lives and travels the world on a sailboat she calls home. She lives with my husband, me and another JR male named Tigger. I still terribly miss Pippin and in one of your videos you said that you except names of beloved dogs in their memory and I know that Pippin would love to have her name given to another dog. Pippin works for eith male or female- Pippin from Lord of the Ring and from Pippy Longstocking book series.
🎶Rivers belong where they can ramble Eagles belong where they can fly I’ve got to be where my spirit can run free Got to find my corner Of the sky! 🎶 From the musical, _Pippin_ ⛵️
Thanks for all you do to work with these dogs. We adopted a Cairn Terrier that was part of a puppy mill and there were 100+ dogs that were in horrible condition. Many were too I’ll to save. The one we adopted could nearly walk because they kept them 4-5 in one crate and received very little exercise. She did not play with toys and did not bark. However you should see her now she runs around our back yard, jumps up on the sofa to get some love and has a favorite toy and loves to play fetch. I wish we had space for more dogs they love you unconditionally.
I just got a doggie from a rescue. Part Schnauzer/Poodle mix. His name is Bandit cause he's got a black mask around his eyes. His brother was solid grey and named Smokey. Smokey and the Bandit. Remember that? Smokey was adopted but we got Bandit. He's such a great doggie!! We are very blessed to have him!! ❤❤
How in the world could no one be missing their two dogs???? Makes no sense??? Heartbreaking 💔 I do hope they get to find a furever home and TOGETHER!! ❤❤
they could bee on vacation and whoever is house sitting/dog sitting didn't realize they got out and when they did realize it, may not know the area. Could be that family out of state came in to watch them =/ a lot of things could have happened.
I have a brother named Jerry and my name is Tom. The same thing happened to us! Jerry always got the best of me! 😅 Woody and Buzz is good! Back in April we adopted a rescue after we lost our dear 12 year old Spartacus to cancer. We weren't going to get another rescue but our house and hearts felt empty. Although he wasn't another Yorkie he stole our hearts.
One of the biggest things people should take from this is having your dog micro chipped. Both my pups are, and I can't say enough about how much it helps to know if anything ever happened they would be returned to me. Not that they're ever outside unless they're with us. I even watch them go on potty breaks even though I know they can't get out of their fenced area. I just never leave them outside alone. 💜
What a gorgeous pair. They seem so well-behaved. They just look like they are perfect. I really hope they get adopted together. I took a bonded pair (cats) who were living in someone's backyard close to winter here in 🇨🇦. I had to keep them together, if the are bonded they should be kept together. My opinion. ♥️🐾🐶🐶🐾♥️ Buzz and Woody forever.♥️♥️
Rocky, I also wanted to give you another scenario for a dog having short nails. We got a dog from a neighbor years ago. When we got her home, her nails were perfect with no extra growth. She and her litter mates, and all of his other dogs were kept in chain link kennels with a concrete floor. She, and the others, wore them down daily living on concrete. 😢Yeah sad. You and your team are so awesome. The dog world, and cat world, needed you and your brilliance!
I'm a very proud mother of 3 little boy's. 2 chiwauwa's and a Weiner. My husband and I are very happy with all 3. Don't limit yourself on just one angel. We never have a bad day. Our boy's make our house a home.
This my local shelter, I try to go there often. Unfortunately we can’t own anymore dogs, but adopted my past dog from here. It’s an amazing shelter and I’m so glad you made ur way over here, thank you for what you do 🫶🏾
Please I beg adopt these two brothers together. It's not difficult. I've done it 3 times and it's just one dog with two heads. They belong with eachother, please.I understand completely, what you say about adopt and get a familie, but it's so beautiful to witness these two grew up together
I am praying that their family sees this video and comes for them. They're both well groomed and in good health, they were obviously loved and cared for, no signs of neglect or abuse, they have a family somewhere that is probably heartbroken to lose them. Not everyone thinks to check the humane society or local shelters when their fur kid goes missing, they go out and look, they post lost signs but they just don't think of checking the shelters. So my prayers are for these two sweet pups to be reunited with their rightful human family, then if that doesn't happen I pray they will be adopted together as a bonded pair. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen🙏🙏 Will also be sharing this publicly to get the word out and get as much media coverage for these two as possible in the hope that their family will see it posted on facebook or somewhere else online and come for them.
I feel like this is exactly how someone who is in jail/prison feels like especially people who are innocent. They just want to talk to their family as much as possible definitely they want to get out for sure
I love Buzz and Woody so much!! They are so sweet together and need each other! Please don't split them up!! I know that someone out there is needing them too!!
If I were in CA I would come get Felix in a minute! Besides his good looks, I see something amazing in him. I also see something amazing in all of the other pups, so I guess I would be leaving with more than one!
They have the sweetest little faces! When I win the lottery I will adopt so may. So may people get an animal without thinking about the long term financial commitment. If I could afford it I would have 20 of them.

When I rescued 2, they were a bonded pair. When you see them together you see how important it is that they are together.

We live in Pharr, Tx and we dud have a Rescue lady that took a Tiny Chiwawa that was full of mange, and a stray dog, paid to get 3 female cats, and 2 male cats fixed. We are in our middle 70's . We are feeding 8 stray cats, but we cannot surrender the cats cuz they are euthanizing due to Shelters are full, so we will continue to feed them. I love watching your "Sitting With Dogs", and we are now members of Rocky Kanapa's team. I have learned alot watching you Rocky. We own 4 dogs, and 4 cats. Keep up the good work!
It's 6:00 am, and suffer from insomnia, so I watch you till I finally get sleepy😂😂❤
They don’t look like they are fighting over anything
Please adopt these dogs together
Then why did they need to separate them for feeding?
@@linsqopiring6816 So the staff can make sure they are both eating
@@jameskostaras4778 Good point but they could have done that by standing there watching them eat. Separating them for that reason sounds like the more work option.
They were giving each other some body language that suggests that they *might*, but they also show they have a strong bond. For obvious reasons, shelters usually don't like to take risks in small spaces.
He made lots of assumptions.. some that may deter a potential adoption.
Their faces remind me of Irish wolfhounds, and I would say escapees. hope the owners show up. Beautiful pups, that need a strong dad or mom and lots of room to run. And a really high fence.
@@damonica695 I was thinking Irish Wolfhound too.
Maybe a mix. Too small to be pure bred Irish wolfhounds.
@@damonica695 maybe a deer hound
I thought that or schnauzer
I just feel SOOOOOOOOOO SORRY FOR THTM!❤❤❤❤❤
I am crying my eyes out over the brothers, how can anyone just dump 2 such sweet dogs? It is just as well I'm across the other side of the Atlantic as my Labrador passed away 2 weeks ago, and I miss her so much that I'd probably come home with every dog in the shelter
Yeah, why can't I have all the dogs? It's just rude!
Yeah, me too.
So very sorry for your loss.
We don't know that they were dumped. They were found in a park and are clearly well looked after, so they might have escaped a yard or something along those lines.
So very sorry about the loss of your furbaby
Where is pt. 2? Were they adopted together? You've left me hangin' here! 🤫😳🥹
on Rocky's site it just says no longer available, so I am presuming they are adopted but nothing else is said
@@elainemarten2147hope we get an update
I'm so hoping there is a Happy Ending update with these 2!! Really hoping they just escaped and their owners are looking all over from them! With so many people having fireworks these days maybe they just bolted when they heard them and kept running! When I was a kid we found 2 Airedale terriers running. We fiinally got them to come to us and luckily they had collars with tags. The owners were so happy and overwhelmed to have them back! They told us someone set off fireworks in the neighborhood and the dogs freaked out and busted through the fence in panic. They were miles from home when we found them. So I'm not giving up hope for these 2! Thank you for all you do! 🐾💜🐾💜
I adopted 2 sisters. No specific breed. They both have the same coloring but one is bigger with foppy ears and one is smaller with shorter legs and pointy ears. They're both very affectionate and loving living in the country.
And I just bet they are so happy!!!
Congrats 🎈🍾
I really hope Buzz & Woody get adopted together but if adopted separately I hope they thrive with their new families!
I am not in social media, I only follow you on TH-cam. I have ordered your coffee for my friends. I don’t drink coffee. They love it.! For myself, I now have 2 Bean shirts!!
Thank You Rocky, Kelly & Alexis! 🐾🐾🐾
That's the spirit!
Rocky, I live in Wildomar, Animal Friends of the Valley is my shelter. When people post on TH-cam about this shelter or on Facebook some people post it is a kill shelter. Can you please set them straight. It is so disheartening because I am sure some people believe it and won't rescue dogs and take them there. My daughter has taken kittens there from the stable where her horse is stabled and this shelter always adopts those kittens out within a few days. They are so kind there.
Nay people are like that. IGNORE. 😊
This absolutely breaks. My heart animals are better than people😢
They both are beautiful puppies. Please someone adopt them together ❤❤❤❤
I like Buzz and Woody!!!!!!!
Here's wishing the very best to empty out the shelter. The siblings are great for anyone that wants "twins", twice as much love.
Woody and Buzz are wonderful names for these two brothers.
We adopted a bonded pair from a shelter during covid lockdown; 5 dogs had been brought in and 3 were already adopted to separate homes, but these 2 were to be adopted together. When we got them they were recovering from starvation (hip bones stuck out like those starved horse hips), dental had been done and most of their teeth had to be removed, they were scared of everything that moved or made noise.
Fast forward 4 yrs and they still often sleep together, still are easily startled by quick moving anything (that will likely always be true), our laps, couch cushion, foot of bed, under a throw or blanket, are their safe spots.
Getting a bonded pair has been great. Do they ever get grumpy with each other... on rare occassion... but we stop that nonesense then they are fine.
Don't fear getting bonded pairs, just be aware they will each have different personalities, quirks, triggers you will have to learn, and they may still be adjusting months later. Well worth the effort.
@@torinsall I have 2 female Cavalier King Charles Spaniels that I adopted through a rescue group. They were relinquished by an Amish puppy mill. They came as a bonded pair, and I was the only one interested in adopting both. I don't know if they are siblings, one is a Blenheim and one is a Ruby. They have two very different personalities and I love how different they are. I can't imagine life without them.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Kudos to you for having this “empty the shelter days”.
He looks like an Irish wolfhound. Such a beautiful pup!! ❤
PLEASE MICROCHIP YOUR PETS EVERYONE, it's so important, and can often mean the difference between getting a beloved pet back, and not. Also good luck Woody and Buzz. I am just hoping and praying with all of my heart, that someone can open their hearts to both of you, and have the space, and the means to keep you both together 🙏🙏🙏
I got my cat back 7 1/2 months later because she was microchipped. Never would have happened otherwise!
The shelter I got my cat from had their pets chipped and you had to pay to get the service. It's worth it.
@@LesleyElizabeth-f4f Awesome !!!
Keep the faith, Rocky! You ate doing an outstanding job 👏
AGREE 💖💖🐶🐶
I can't believe that someone would leave those dogs. Those are beautiful dogs. The owner has to come and find them.
They have to have an owner. They don’t look like street dogs. - On the other hand: sometimes things happen to humans suddenly.
These pups would be great for farm or rural life with lots of space.
If I were closer I would definitely adopt these brothers!
@@KimHigg66 Kim, if you're in north america I believe that they can be transported to you
Investigate. Some pilots fly such dogs, to be adopted, for free. There are many options to handle the locations.
Gosh he looks like he lived with a family not too long ago. Hope they call looking for him very soon.
The don't look stray to me. They just have the look of being so well looked after. Nails are clipped and maybe a coat and brushed.
It hurts my heart to see that poor dog cry and act so scared 🥹 I'm so glad watching the brothers reunite. They are just too precious
I love Woody and Buz!! They are such handsome boys!! I hope they get to stay together, but you are right...main thing is having a family. They are so young, they can adapt. I'm so excited to hear final results of this week!! I'm in Kentucky, but I'm so invested in this week!! You are doing the Lord's work...never doubt that!
Regardless of the outcome, I cry like a baby on every one of your videos. sad tears, happy tears... it's all there.
Moments like these are TOO BEAUTIFUL to just let pass by and NOT do the right thing!!! Keep them together!!!
It’s so nice of you and your team to take the dog under your wing Rocky, bless you and them. I’m glad he reunited with his brother too. Thanks for this video Rocky I appreciate it.
You are rocking empty the shelter week. You all are awesome people for caring so much about all the pups! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He is actually looking for hie Person…….Family,
Ment looking for Family
He is pretty….hart to believe someone just didn’t want him anymore! It hurts me to see his Pain!😢
I’m obsessed with ‘sitting with the dogs’! Dogs are like people; they all have a story … it’s very kind and special of you to learn as much as possible about their background. You are making a difference when they feel the love, it’s gives them confidence! I hope these brothers can stay together. I’ve had dogs all my life and homed a number of them when properties I sold couldn’t care for them. Thank you 🙏
Thank you!
EXCELLENT COMMENT!! IM 83 HAVE BIG CAT ADOPTED ME 8 YRS AGO LOOKS LIKE PART MAINECOON GOOD COMPANY!! YOUR CHANNEL IS VERY PLEASING TO WATCH YOUR GIFT EXTENDS TO CALMING YOUR VIEWERS ITS SUCH A BLESSING. THANK YOU ROCKY & WIFE!!❤GRMA NANCY
They need to stay together, I always have 2 preferably from same litter
Keep me updated when Woody and Buzz get adopted, together, I pray. So sweet.
Woody & Buzz.. fantastic names forthem!
I pray these dogs owners are looking for them. They are so well taken care of, i can't believe they were just dumped. It costs alot to keep them groomed like this. And they are well behaved and seemed loved.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Please keep us updated on these and the other dogs featured this week. PLEASE ROCKY PLEASE
Did they get adopted? 😢❤ Thank you for doing this! We need more people like you!
Woody and Buzz are excellent names! All I can think of is the “You’ve got a friend in me” song ❤
I pray these two are taken together to a wonderful home asap. ❤❤❤
wow, Felix looks so happy! Well done! And the "ugly" sweetheart is adopted!!
I live in England, I wanted to buy a shirt to support these pups, tried your link but TH-cam say's "Based on your country or location, it isn't possible to view or shop the products in this collection."
I read these boy's story on your website, so adorable it choked me up; really hope these beautiful boys get to stay together.
Me too. It will let you buy them but without the discount. Put in flip coffee and it comes up.
They're so beautiful ❤❤
I hope these two were adopted together. In my opinion, I think it’s more important that the two that are bonded go together and if someone wants one of them and they truly love animals, they will be willing to take both . Splitting them up, just adds to the heartache of their story.
Yikes! I moved to a new apartment with my furbabies a month ago! With your talk about microchips, it reminded me that I still have to update their info! Thanks.
Praying for all these puppets to get a good home.
"No walks today" on one cage. Heartbreaking any animals need to be in shelters. I wish ALL animals could be rescued. 😭😭.
That dog may be injured
Please GOD BLESS THEM ALL WITH GOOD LOVING HOMES AMEN ❤❤❤❤ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐕🐅🐶
Oh man Rocky, this broke my heart! Then again they all do that to me. I live alone with my rescue dog and I wish I could have more. I love what you do for these dogs. We really don’t deserve them do we? I try to earn the loyalty that I get from mine. Keep up the good work you’re doing! Thank you Rocky
Today is my 34th birthday. I hope those boys get adopted together, that would be the best gift 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Happy Birthday!! I really hope your birthday wish comes true!!! 🥳🎂
@@suebutterfield1820 thanks so much
Happy Birthday! 👍
@@emilyh.9240 thanks
You know the real gifts in life - Happy Happy Birthday!🌞
I adopted a Jack Russell 4 year old terrier 4 years ago after losing the luv of my life JR, Pippin the previous year. Ellie was surrendered along with a male and had recently had puppies. She was scared, nippy and un-adoptable. I lived in Oregon and she was in Florida and no plane due to Covid. I hired a couple to drive her out to Oregon. Ellie didn’t know anything and had never been house trained, or held and cuddled. It has been 4 years now and she is quite a different dog now and is very attached to me. She now lives and travels the world on a sailboat she calls home. She lives with my husband, me and another JR male named Tigger. I still terribly miss Pippin and in one of your videos you said that you except names of beloved dogs in their memory and I know that Pippin would love to have her name given to another dog. Pippin works for eith male or female- Pippin from Lord of the Ring and from Pippy Longstocking book series.
🎶Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I’ve got to be where my spirit can run free
Got to find my corner
Of the sky! 🎶
From the musical, _Pippin_ ⛵️
That is just so wonderful! You are a beautiful person ❤
I love Buzz and Woody. Please adopt together.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for all you do to work with these dogs. We adopted a Cairn Terrier that was part of a puppy mill and there were 100+ dogs that were in horrible condition. Many were too I’ll to save. The one we adopted could nearly walk because they kept them 4-5 in one crate and received very little exercise. She did not play with toys and did not bark. However you should see her now she runs around our back yard, jumps up on the sofa to get some love and has a favorite toy and loves to play fetch. I wish we had space for more dogs they love you unconditionally.
those two are absolutely GORGEOUS! really hope they will find a forever home, together or not
You are one hell of a dude Rocky!
I wish they were closer. I would take them both! I’m praying they are adopted as a pair. 🩷🩷🩷
They are covering transport so maybe you could!?
I just got a doggie from a rescue. Part Schnauzer/Poodle mix. His name is Bandit cause he's got a black mask around his eyes. His brother was solid grey and named Smokey. Smokey and the Bandit. Remember that? Smokey was adopted but we got Bandit. He's such a great doggie!! We are very blessed to have him!! ❤❤
They are absolutely beautiful!!! I have never seen dogs like that before! I truly hope they find a home together. 🦮🦮🦮🦮❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🫶🫶🫶🫶💋💋💋💋🙏🙏🙏🙏
Praying for them all 🙏🏻
How in the world could no one be missing their two dogs???? Makes no sense??? Heartbreaking 💔 I do hope they get to find a furever home and TOGETHER!! ❤❤
they could bee on vacation and whoever is house sitting/dog sitting didn't realize they got out and when they did realize it, may not know the area. Could be that family out of state came in to watch them =/ a lot of things could have happened.
These two dogs are so cute. They have alot of character. They belong on tv or in movies. ADORABLE!!
It’s sad that the shelter isn’t providing a more comfy area in these places looks so cold!
Prison cells. I get they have to be practical to clean but there's nowhere to get comfy.
They need to be together forever ❤❤❤❤
I have a brother named Jerry and my name is Tom. The same thing happened to us! Jerry always got the best of me! 😅 Woody and Buzz is good! Back in April we adopted a rescue after we lost our dear 12 year old Spartacus to cancer. We weren't going to get another rescue but our house and hearts felt empty. Although he wasn't another Yorkie he stole our hearts.
😂
So sad & heartbreaking 💔 he’s waiting & crying & looking for his family
One of the biggest things people should take from this is having your dog micro chipped. Both my pups are, and I can't say enough about how much it helps to know if anything ever happened they would be returned to me. Not that they're ever outside unless they're with us. I even watch them go on potty breaks even though I know they can't get out of their fenced area. I just never leave them outside alone. 💜
What a gorgeous pair. They seem so well-behaved. They just look like they are perfect. I really hope they get adopted together. I took a bonded pair (cats) who were living in someone's backyard close to winter here in 🇨🇦. I had to keep them together, if the are bonded they should be kept together. My opinion. ♥️🐾🐶🐶🐾♥️ Buzz and Woody forever.♥️♥️
Rocky, I also wanted to give you another scenario for a dog having short nails. We got a dog from a neighbor years ago. When we got her home, her nails were perfect with no extra growth. She and her litter mates, and all of his other dogs were kept in chain link kennels with a concrete floor. She, and the others, wore them down daily living on concrete. 😢Yeah sad. You and your team are so awesome. The dog world, and cat world, needed you and your brilliance!
I really hope this message somehow gets to you! I'm a cat lover as much as you are a dog lover!
Buzz and Woody, perfect names!!
Sweet pooch there. Terrier face, Husky rear. ♥️🐶
Party in the front, goofy in the back. Terrsky.
Congrats...good work
I think border collie and terrier.
Husky eyes on the bigger one.
Those two dogs are beautiful. I really hope they are adopted into a loving home and get to say together as a pair.
He looks so clean and cared for so odd. Love them❤
They are beautiful puppies! I hope they were adopted together.
I would have named them Fred & Barney from The Flintstones.
I'm a very proud mother of 3 little boy's. 2 chiwauwa's and a Weiner. My husband and I are very happy with all 3. Don't limit yourself on just one angel. We never have a bad day. Our boy's make our house a home.
This my local shelter, I try to go there often. Unfortunately we can’t own anymore dogs, but adopted my past dog from here. It’s an amazing shelter and I’m so glad you made ur way over here, thank you for what you do 🫶🏾
Do you know if these two are still available??
Please I beg adopt these two brothers together. It's not difficult. I've done it 3 times and it's just one dog with two heads. They belong with eachother, please.I understand completely, what you say about adopt and get a familie, but it's so beautiful to witness these two grew up together
I am praying that their family sees this video and comes for them. They're both well groomed and in good health, they were obviously loved and cared for, no signs of neglect or abuse, they have a family somewhere that is probably heartbroken to lose them.
Not everyone thinks to check the humane society or local shelters when their fur kid goes missing, they go out and look, they post lost signs but they just don't think of checking the shelters.
So my prayers are for these two sweet pups to be reunited with their rightful human family, then if that doesn't happen I pray they will be adopted together as a bonded pair. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen🙏🙏
Will also be sharing this publicly to get the word out and get as much media coverage for these two as possible in the hope that their family will see it posted on facebook or somewhere else online and come for them.
I feel like this is exactly how someone who is in jail/prison feels like especially people who are innocent. They just want to talk to their family as much as possible definitely they want to get out for sure
Thank you Rocky for what you do for these dogs. Buzz and Woody are gorgeous.
I love Buzz and Woody so much!! They are so sweet together and need each other! Please don't split them up!! I know that someone out there is needing them too!!
If I were in CA I would come get Felix in a minute! Besides his good looks, I see something amazing in him. I also see something amazing in all of the other pups, so I guess I would be leaving with more than one!
They are transporting dogs right now so you could fill out an application to adopt them both.
They can help with transportation! Please call Friends of the Valley today!🥰🐕 🐈
They have the sweetest little faces! When I win the lottery I will adopt so may. So may people get an animal without thinking about the long term financial commitment. If I could afford it I would have 20 of them.
Those two are so beautiful! ❤❤❤
They rely on each other!
Thanks! Rocky and team thank you so much for all you did this week for these worthy and deserving animals, you guys are the best!!❤
Thanks Andrea!
@@rockykanakaOver the past couple months your channel has helped me deal with a loss of a very special four legged best friend, you and the team are appreciated more than you know. Thanks again
