It’s too bad that the owners couldn’t have provided info on stars leg or hip injury … she is so precious and beautiful if I could have a pet in my apt I’d take her in a heartbeat! I have a grand dog Lottie whom I love with all my heart❤ I hope Star finds the most perfect furever home.. she deserves the world ❤️🥰💕💗😍
I’ve been a veterinarian for 35 year and as soon as she stood up I suspected that she has a torn cranial cruciate ligament. I’m gonna bet that the former owners took her to their vet and got an estimate of 4 to 8 thousand dollars to fix it. They probably love her a great deal but didn’t have the money to fix it. They were way too embarrassed to admit it so they listed her as a stray. Veterinary costs in this country have exploded and you can thank private equity firms and corporations that are snapping up veterinary clinics all across the country. Now veterinary costs are being dictated by greedy shareholders that can never seem to get enough money. I HATE what’s happening to the profession I love. Corporate greed is going to be the downfall of this great country!
Thanks for mentioning that. Just after reading the first part of your post, I thought, "private equity vet clinic greed". This is where that greed ultimately leads, abandoned animals and sometimes animal death. Vets who sell to private equity are just as greedy, selling their staffs and community down the river just to please their ego or monetary gluttony.
Yeah it's really messed up. People having to give up their pets or even worse put them down 😢. I agree the costs are ridiculous. There are some places that do help low income people with vet services and there are places that help fund for vet services.some places even work with payment plans. There are vets that offer the grants and organizations that can help too. I couldn't imagine giving up my animal because they needed expensive care. I'd fight every way I could for my animal. I've got a Chihuahua I've rescued from my disowned "half sister 🤢" she was going to leave him in a cage as a baby outside in the cold with NOTHING but an empty cold cage. It made me so MAD! he was a puppy when my kid was a baby. I've kept him every since. I've had to pay deposits that were costly to keep him, but I couldn't give him up. Once we're in, we're in till the end. People need to stop being unloyal to these poor fur babies. I'm glad she got a good home in the long run. ☺️
Greed is the #1 motivation for gouging hardworking people. They know how to work your emotions, and use your love for your animals as a way to manipulate you into things you can't afford, and are not guaranteed to even work. Sad.
Not going to lie. I started poking around to see where I could find and adopt this Lil sweetie from. Found her listing through your website....she's already been adopted. Sad for me but so so happy that someone rescued here.
There have been other dogs that I've been interested in. I wish they could/would mention what shelter a particular dog is in. By the way Thank you Rocky for all the work you do!
I am sending you all the love and good vibes that you find a dog you love to rescue. There are so so many, especially pits. This one may be adopted. But I know there are so many more. Much ❤
@AmandaPanda83 oh absolutly! There's so many shelters where I live and the one in my county is always full sadly but it isn't a kill shelter so that's fortunate! But it sucks that there are so many pups without homes.
Exactly, we gotta be really careful about shaming people for shelter drop-offs. It's sooo much better than abandoning them outside. Once we solve that problem, then we can start worrying about proper shelter surrendering.
Pit bulls are so forgiving and sweet. They just want to be loved and with their family. Our Pit bull, Jack, was a lost little puppy, about 8 weeks old, in our front yard on 4th of July. We kept him and posted signs in our neighbourhood. Nobody claimed him. We had him 14 yrs. 110 lbs. He had the sweetest, goofiest personality. Best dog ever!
Me too! Been there, one guy said to me, "you must have been so fun before your muscle disease!" Left that turd. Now, i put my heart and extra funds into puppers!!! Adopted two and they are so in tune with me and my needs! My friends say they are well behaved but spoiled. I just want them to have their best life!
My son adopted a 2 yr old pitbull that had been rescued from a fighting club. She was huge, but not aggressive, so they used her as a bait dog. Poor girl had scars from head to tail, but she was a friendly, funny, loving chunk of a dog! We lost her to cancer about a month ago, but first she spent 12 years giving unconditional love to everyone she met!
Your story is so similar to how we got our Lyla. She was confiscated by the country sheriff from a dog fighting ring. She too was the bait dog and had many scars. She's been through a horrible, horrible situation. Yet, she is the most loving, sweet dog you could imagine! We love her so much.
We have the same story. Our sweet pit was a rescue from a drug house. She had been abused and would not bark. She was the most lovable dog we ever had. Her best animal friend was a cat. She loved everyone. She was huge, 70 pounds of muscle and love.
I swear pitties are made of 99% love and then the 1% is like vital organs and whatnot. She was so ready to love and be loved. She’s making one family so very lucky!
I think you are 100% right. All the 'bucket head' dogs are just big Love Bugs. But the Pittie is just something special. They are everything humans should be. Love, loyal, selfless, kind.

What a beautiful comment to see a guy write, truth, emotion and a real heart. The world is lacking people like you today, I feel so sad about the youth I see daily in real life, and it's even worse the youth online.
Pitbull dogs are sent from heaven ❤❤❤ my girl was by my side every second of my recovery from a broken neck and quadriplegia. Even though I can kinda walk now, she won’t let me go down steps without her. She would let me hook my arm in her halter and she would drag me into the middle of my bed then sleep right next to me. For almost 3 years she’s been there for me ❤❤❤
Kelly is wonderful. Her gentleness and love matches yours. Just see her giving love to this loving, hurting beautiful dog. Congratulations on your excellent choice of a wife.
You give me hope for humanity Rocky. Hopefully this will help get the girl to a vet. Is there a better way to send you $$$. I know the TH-cams takes a pretty big percentage of donations.
Omg Rocky Star is PERFECT!!!! Whoever gets to adopt this angel is going to be soooooooo LUCKY!!!!! I just rejoined this AMAZING community, I just couldn't afford the membership for awhile, my husband and and I are now raising our 4 year old Granddaughter and I had to stop working so I could be home with her. Oh and she LOVES watching Rocky with me. Anyway I am so excited to be a part of what you are doing for these babies ❤
I can't dare compare but l had osteonecrosis EXCRUCIATING 24/7 pain, misdiagnosed for years!!!! My heart breaks for this baby. P.S THANK YOU DR OH ( I found my "Rocky")
@@danielturchan4092 You Have a gift I call it the shining. You sit with wounded soul, confused souls and longing souls and make them better. You’re the best of human each animal you touch it’s like they receive a lottery of renewed reason to live. You’re saving more than dog’s lives. You save humans as well.
From Belgium pe0ple have to think about having a dog before destroying a lovely dog like this and many more we need more people like you ,!!! Love from belgium
“I really just don't know a sweeter dog than a Pitbull” somehow it's gratifying to hear that from you :-) I grew up with ten different dogs throughout my childhood, lots of love from all of them, the last one was a Pitbull and it was really a surprise how much sweetness they can give. And the Eyes!
@@rhondamaddox6636 well they are extremely protective, family is everything to them, they will stand in front of a train for it. unfortunately they do not discriminate if you sell drugs and go armed, you are still family and in the 90's they started to be very abused in this sense.
I remember myths about their jaws being involuntarily locked. completely wrong, they are just big and muscular and if they consider a train a threat they may not hesitate and try to stop it. on the other hand, you can let a baby play with a pittie's tits and it will be completely safe. they're just execptional. :-)
I saw that look in Kelly’s eyes 😂 she wanted to take her home! Star seems so so sweet, I really wish I could rescue her but can’t because of breed restrictions in my community. 😭I hope this donation helps Star or your future work. ❤
You're all such wonderful people for donating!!! I hope all this money goes to helping the dogs and financing vet costs!!! Thankfully Star found a new owner!!! Otherwise I'd have come from the Netherlands all the way down to California and taken her home with me 😅😅😅
We are in love with Star! Actually, we adopted her younger brother (almost identical) about 6 months ago. He is the most amazing dog. I loved hearing you say how misunderstood the breed is. They are the most loving, affectionate and intelligent dogs! Wish we could adopt Star, too!!
Thank you for bringing shelter pets and shelter issues to the attention of so many! ♥ I have 2 pit-mixes myself and highly recommend more people give them a chance. They are more loving than so many other dogs. I hope Miss Star finds a home soon 🐾
@@rockykanakaRocky I love you and what you do and your videos! I left a long comment, I'd be thankful if you could try to find it in here somewhere, I'm looking for a dog like this! Star's perfect, thankfully she found a new home!!!
Fr, it said shes already adopted on the website 🧡 i hope her new parents can heal her broken heart, shes so beautiful and sweet, just sad looking thru her eyes 😢🧡
@@IFChi1904Unaffordable vets in the US!? My mother used to drive to the US from Canada because the vet was WAY more affordable. What cost $30 in the States cost almost $300 in Canada!
Adopted already? That is fantastic news!! ❤ If you go to Rocky’s website and read the story, there is a button link to “adopt” - that is where it says that she was adopted. I hope there’s a follow up story on what was wrong with her hip.
@@bayareagrl4ever526 They aren't trying to make a profit and the staff working there aren't getting rich, you do know that, right? It is a non-profit open admission shelter. They take in strays and I'm willing to bet if someone can't pay a fee to surrender their pet they aren't going to turn them away. People abandon dogs because they are lazy and don't care about their animal. It isn't the fees causing them to abandon a dog.
Yes, it is. Also, because I am seriously falling in love with her and we already have three great dogs, all rescues! My daughter got us into pitties and they are the best dogs in the world. I'd so love to have another one! So glad she has a home. I do hope it's a good one!
@agrl4ever526 Oh yes, that's a good excuse 🙄 So tired of that same old tired excuse. How about taking care of your own dogs? Dumping them while using money as an excuse doesn't make me feel any better especially when I'm pretty positive they all have $1200.00 phones, drink starbucks every day etc. This nonsense that everyone is destitute is bs, but please keep making feeble excuses for these losers. You dump any dogs lately? I wonder why you think it's ok for these poor shelters and rescues to keep taking these dogs in like they have money pouring in from the sky but get mad when they have a fee to take care of YOUR dog and turn around and be the first to complain that they are putting them to sleep. But it's ok as long as the alleged "poor" people don't have to use their money. Yep, that makes sense.
Poor baby. I can’t imagine her slowly having to understand she was just left for no reason. Abandoned by the people who were supposed to love her the most. So happy this angel was saved by someone else.
That is torn ACL, our pittie mix just had the surgery for the very same injury and had exactly those symptoms. I've been a firefighter for 35 years and I watched this vid and was balling my eyes out. She reminds me so much of our baby the way she was behaving. I can tell she is an awesome loving animal and deserves better. I was so glad to see that she has already gotten adopted.
Oh man I am so glad to hear this. I lost my 13 yr old pit boxer mix In October and I’ve cried every day since. I’m out of work right now and couldn’t afford to take on any expenses of owning a pet as a responsible pet owner. She’s a beautiful dog.
@@ShikokuFoodForestACL = anterior cruciate ligament, it connects the thigh bone to the shin, so her limping is a big clue. It's a common injury in humans especially athletes, so I imagine it can happen with a rambunctious dog.
Star has a very calm energy. She would make a great therapy dog to visit pediatric wards of hospitals. I can see her being a great buddy to young children in a family, too. Such great news that she was adopted. She captured my heart watching the video and I knew she would be adopted.
I love how she just gazed in Kelly's eyes when she came in and started petting her...❤. Happy to read below that she was adopted! What a sweetheart!! 💖
I’m sitting here with my geriatric pibble, just sobbing for Star. I’m taking you up on your offer to match my contribution. She deserves a real chance in life to love and be loved. My boy and I are rooting for her. ❤
she is gorgeous!!! i just cannot find sympathy for anyone who says, 'yeah, we just don't want her anymore!' the only sympathy i have in this situation is for STAR, who is the star and will find a better, more perfect home!!
My daughter adopted an American Pitbull Terrier from our local shelter that had been there a while. This girl, named Zena is nothing but a big bundle of kisses and love.
My fiancee and I was going to foster the Staffordshire Bull Terrier that's in my picture from a shelter, which my fiancee and I had fostered numerous times. But as soon as we met him, we fell in love with him and decided to adopt and put the paperwork in there and then. Zeus was rescued from a life of abuse and being used as a bait dog by the police and RSPCA in the UK. Zeus was a bundle of love from day 1 and celebrated his 15th birthday a couple of weeks ago.
My dog's name was Hannibal I had him for about 13 years he crossed the Rainbow Bridge how about 2 years ago I miss him a lot he would wake me up every morning to go outside. He was a sweet dog😢
@@holzmann8443 That's with their tongues. Mine is really vicious with his love and kisses. As you can see in my picture, he's a hero that was rescued from a life of abuse and used as a bait dog for dog fighting. But despite his past. He's the most loving, loyal, caring and devoted dog I've ever known. ❤
@@sfguidry1959 I'm truly sorry for the loss of Hannibal. You gave him the best life possible and that's what is important. You gave each other love and devotion too.
@@arbonneladyTN I think rough housing with her, and her leg got 'broken". My little dog had that. Stifle is torn. Little SHI TUZ.. just slipped off sidewalk and hurt her leg. Back then a bit over 600 to fix. She was my baby!
Cried right out the gate!!! So sad and doesn’t know where her family is now and why she's in a cold/ lonely place....a shelter. She's sweet, loving, playful (I could see right away!!) & needs people to love and to love her. Blessings to Star ❤
I struggle watching these videos without weeping! We’ve had 4 adopted pitties - two are still with us. They are truly lovely and affectionate dogs. One of the reasons they’ve been used for fighting is they are generally NOT aggressive toward humans but instead just want to please us. Fighting dogs are abused - that’s how they get them to fight. Thanks for being such a lovely ambassador for the breed Star! And thank you Rocky and your lovely wife for the tremendous work you do.
@deb6853 there are so many resources and low cost clinics for that reason. Shelters will even give food and medical for free to keep dogs with their families. Clearly you have dumped your own dog, who you didn't consider a family member, and are continuing to justify it to yourself. Don't bother. There's no excuse.
I can’t believe that her family didn’t want her, but instead, may have been unable to keep her and were embarrassed. There are three people in that condo, and this dog hasn’t peeped once. That family must have loved her dearly, else she wouldn’t be such a sweet, calm, and loving dog. She is beautiful, too.
It's hard for owners facing hard times, they'll be shamed for having a dog that they can't afford the climbing vet bills for in a world of ever increasing costs of living. Then shamed again for not keeping their dog by the adoption fair hearts.
@@KeithMcKenzie-ou7gj That dog is so beautiful and so sweet. I can’t imagine no one wants her. If I didn’t live across the country, I’d have take her. She melted my heart after about 2 seconds
@@nahaniyesi breaks my heart that animals can suffer stigma based on the selfish acts of humans, but truly pitbulls are the sweetest beings. I was blessed to experience many pitbulls in my childhood. This dog in the video is especially so used to kind humans and is probably so hurt and confused as to where her humans are and where are the kind people, and im glad she experienced kindness in her life
have a pit dog, and I've had other dogs in my life, but I've never had a better dog than this one, so friendly and sweet and a family friend. I hope this sweet dog is lucky enough to find someone who will give him lots of love. From Portugal witt love
I would not be surprised if her injury was a result of being kicked. The fact that she has no positive reactions to her name indicates she did not hear it often or in good circumstances. Looks like she’s been bred; maybe that’s why the owners tired of her, they kept a puppy….
I love these videos! Every time he says “you’re a good girl!” I feel like I’m being hypnotized by these words hahaha thank you for helping our furry friends out there, watching from Japan!
Pit bulls are so mis-understood. The majority of them are just as Rocky said, so sweet. our pit bull was dumped about 1/2 mile from our house. We tried the usual "found dog" posters, listed her in the local paper. and eventually we had to take her to a local shelter, because our (pre existing) beagle was totally against having another dog in the house. And I WILL NOT tie a dog out in the yard. The shelter was able to help us get our begal to be ok with another dog. and after about 2 weeks (I went to the shelter every day to spend time with the pit bull. I wanted her to know she wasn't just being thrown away again. There is one "thing" about owning a pit bull. They are VERY ENERGETIC, and NEED a LOT OF EXERCISE!!! After about 4 or 5 years, ours finally settled down enough that we could skip a day between exercising. Ours was very good with our children. sadly, she grew old, and developed cancer. So we had to euthanize her. That was HARD, but she was suffering, and WE could not let her suffer any longer.
That is very sad . The donkey that Mary and Jesus rode don't you think he is still with Mary and Jesus today . He was the first fur baby that I know of in their home . So if Jesus has his fur babies there then I think we do to .
What a good shelter to help your dog get used to the pittie. Thank you for providing that fur-baby a loving home. I am truly sorry for your loss. I rescued a pittie that was in a pen 24/7. He had a miserable life. I was able to talk the owners into letting me have the dog. Within a week he started coughing up blood. Turns out he had heartworms. After more than $900, he was treated and given a clean bill of health. He's never been very active and I'm assuming it's because he was never played with as a puppy 😭 and because the heartworms slowed him down. He is older now I give him lots of love to make up for those previous, so called, owners. He is a house dog now and will always be treated like our love bug.

Pitbull dogs are sent from heaven ❤❤❤ my girl was by my side every second of my recovery from a broken neck and quadriplegia. Even though I can kinda walk now, she won’t let me go down steps without her.
She would let me hook my arm in her halter and she would drag me into the middle of my bed then sleep right next to me.
For almost 3 years she’s been there for me ❤❤❤
Wishing you and your furbaby a wonderful summer and many happy moons. Y'all are both blessed.
They are really all about their people.
I am so happy you found each other, you sure have been through a lot. The Lord God Almighty is good, all the time.
They also put alot of people into heaven.
@@carolynmariedimmick7884 Yes, they like the taste of people
I don't know how you do this without getting emotional. The moment she got into your lap, I was in tears 😭 sooo glad she got adopted
Thanks for helping star out.
My rescue is a tripod and she has no idea that she lost her leg. She is a whippet and runs like 30mph in our yard. Happiest dog ever.
Aww 🥹 I love whippets. They are one of my favorite breeds
Glass half empty or half full? She is obviously from the glass half full school. And she loves you 'cause you accept and love her as she is!
Have a "tripod" German Shepherd - was badly abused but an absolute sweet heart now.
I have a little terrier tripod named Ilean. They don't waste time feeling sorry for themselves and get on with it.
@@Ash_Carnelian they are so sweet!
Star is putting her paw on you Rocky asking for more love. Somebody will give you more love soon and be your forever family. Gentle, sweet Star! ❤️ 🌟
Please help her. Thank you.
Nice of you!♥
I love seeing a pittie with intact ears. They're so floppy and adorable. Thank you for spending some time with this sweet girl.
The cute slappy noise they make when they shake it so funny
Yes. The floppy ears give them a sweet stuffed animal look. Such a sweet face
My 95 pit/american bulldog has floppy eqrs, and my 100 lb 9 month old xl american bully has her natural ears!
Clipping ears is absurd anyways.
@@BG......... it shouldn't be legal, same for docking tails
She is a perfect baby🥹❤️ I hope she gets all the love and cuddles she deserves
Nice of you!♥
Kelly is wonderful. Her gentleness and love matches yours. Just see her giving love to this loving, hurting beautiful dog. Congratulations on your excellent choice of a wife.
For Star ... thank you for helping her! ♥
Very generous, thanks!🌞
you are awesome! Wish I was able to do the same@@nunyabiz-
Thank you for your generosity and kindness!
You are an Angel. ❤️🙏💯😒
Star reacted positively to Kelly as soon as she sat down. Totally relaxed her. Thanks Kelly & Rocky for the help you give all the dogs 😂
For Star's vet bills.
God bless you 🙏🏻
Omg❤❤❤❤
Oh God bless you for your donation. My tears don't stop. For you ❤ and blessings from Canada
Thank you & God bless🙏
God bless you! And the good news is she's been adopted!! 🌟⭐️🌟
You give me hope for humanity Rocky. Hopefully this will help get the girl to a vet. Is there a better way to send you $$$. I know the TH-cams takes a pretty big percentage of donations.
Agreed! Is venmo a better way to contribute?
Bless you! ❤
Really that awful they shouldn’t
Thats heartless to steal donations from an innocent in need..thats like stealing from sick children !
I heard it was 40% but don’t quote me, I don’t know. I am member now - ☺️ - so I will check in the member area to see if Venmo works.
So sweet❤ for her vet bill
Thank to you! 🌞
What is time frame before TXment for her obvious injury...why wait
Thanks
Thanks! Hope to make Star Shine! Adore her❤❤
Omg Rocky Star is PERFECT!!!! Whoever gets to adopt this angel is going to be soooooooo LUCKY!!!!! I just rejoined this AMAZING community, I just couldn't afford the membership for awhile, my husband and and I are now raising our 4 year old Granddaughter and I had to stop working so I could be home with her. Oh and she LOVES watching Rocky with me. Anyway I am so excited to be a part of what you are doing for these babies ❤
On fixed income m'self... six bucks including processing fee to the Maui shelter every month, welcome back sis‼️💁🏼♀️
Great to have you here Shannon!
She is so cute, I love 😊. I wish I lived in California, I would adopt her. I could take care of her medical care also.
Rocky couldn't you adopt her she is perfect for you I know you have had a loss recently she looks so loyal Rocky love from Scotland ❤️
I can't dare compare but l had osteonecrosis EXCRUCIATING 24/7 pain, misdiagnosed for years!!!! My heart breaks for this baby. P.S THANK YOU DR OH ( I found my "Rocky")
Omg, I fell in love with this sweet gal while watching this, I hope she has a good home now
@@danielturchan4092 You
Have a gift I call it the shining. You sit with wounded soul, confused souls and longing souls and make them better. You’re the best of human each animal you touch it’s like they receive a lottery of renewed reason to live. You’re saving more than dog’s lives. You save humans as well.
Thanks for helping the very beautiful Star. I really hope she is better soon.
To help this beautiful being ❤
So kind of you. ❤
From Belgium pe0ple have to think about having a dog before destroying a lovely dog like this and many more we need more people like you ,!!! Love from belgium
Wow, that’s awesome
you sir, are a legend.
Your a hero bro thanks for helping 🙏
“I really just don't know a sweeter dog than a Pitbull” somehow it's gratifying to hear that from you :-) I grew up with ten different dogs throughout my childhood, lots of love from all of them, the last one was a Pitbull and it was really a surprise how much sweetness they can give. And the Eyes!
Agreed. I've net maybe a dozen stranger pittie's and everyone was sweet and loving. Where'd that ridiculous rep come from? Geez
@@rhondamaddox6636 well they are extremely protective, family is everything to them, they will stand in front of a train for it.
unfortunately they do not discriminate if you sell drugs and go armed, you are still family and in the 90's they started to be very abused in this sense.
I remember myths about their jaws being involuntarily locked. completely wrong, they are just big and muscular and if they consider a train a threat they may not hesitate and try to stop it.
on the other hand, you can let a baby play with a pittie's tits and it will be completely safe. they're just execptional.
:-)
Thanks for sharing the Love!
I've just rescued a 15yo Pittie myself, he is the SWEETEST most loving thing ever. They are fantastically loving dogs.
I agree 100%. Mine loves looking deep in your eyes when he gives kisses. They got such bad rap.
Bless you for adopting a senior 🐕 ❤😢
Your Pittie is the sweetest and you must be too, rescuing a 15 year old. That is just wonderful. God Bless you and your fur baby. ❤❤🙏🐶
Thanks! I hope she gets the help she needs. Starr is precious
Please take her to the vet or a pet chiropractor.
Who in their right mind couldn’t want this beautiful animal? She’s such a sweetheart.
Landlords.
Thanks!
Poor darling... I'm so glad to hear she's been adopted already! It's terrible for her humans to have to turn her in, she was clearly a well-loved dog.
Wonderful! She really is so sweet.
I saw that look in Kelly’s eyes 😂 she wanted to take her home!
Star seems so so sweet, I really wish I could rescue her but can’t because of breed restrictions in my community. 😭I hope this donation helps Star or your future work. ❤
I saw that look as well. Star was adopted.
You are helping in a special way. ❤🧡👍🏼
Cool!
Thank you! I felt that look in Kels eyes 👀😁
Thank you for donating 👍🤗
I hope this helps this beautiful girl.
For Star ❤😍 Get better soon beautiful girl.
It's not much, but I hope it helps to pay her vet bills
Much love from Argentina.
Small donation for the beautiful girl pitty- I’m glad you’re helping her
You're all such wonderful people for donating!!! I hope all this money goes to helping the dogs and financing vet costs!!!
Thankfully Star found a new owner!!! Otherwise I'd have come from the Netherlands all the way down to California and taken her home with me 😅😅😅
yep- she will be up and attacking people soon!
We are in love with Star! Actually, we adopted her younger brother (almost identical) about 6 months ago. He is the most amazing dog. I loved hearing you say how misunderstood the breed is. They are the most loving, affectionate and intelligent dogs! Wish we could adopt Star, too!!
What a sweet girl!
Thank you for bringing shelter pets and shelter issues to the attention of so many! ♥
I have 2 pit-mixes myself and highly recommend more people give them a chance. They are more loving than so many other dogs.
I hope Miss Star finds a home soon
🐾
Thank you. Pitties are amazing dogs!
You're awesome!
She is so cute! The people that abandoned her are insane to let her go!!!! 💔
❤
@@rockykanakaRocky I love you and what you do and your videos! I left a long comment, I'd be thankful if you could try to find it in here somewhere, I'm looking for a dog like this! Star's perfect, thankfully she found a new home!!!
Some people do not deserve a dog's love and loyalty. How can you dump such a sweet pittie? Please keep us updated about Star.
Fr, it said shes already adopted on the website 🧡 i hope her new parents can heal her broken heart, shes so beautiful and sweet, just sad looking thru her eyes 😢🧡
SOME People? Actually MOST people don’t deserve dogs love.
My theory is that her owners knew they couldn’t afford the vet and thought the shelter would take care of it
@@JazzfromOz exactly, medical care is almost unaffordable in US. Some families surrender their pets because can't pay the vet bills.
@@IFChi1904Unaffordable vets in the US!? My mother used to drive to the US from Canada because the vet was WAY more affordable. What cost $30 in the States cost almost $300 in Canada!
Kelly should be in more of these videos. Her energy is happy, caring and calming - and it's doing a world of good for that cutie pupper girl.
Thanks! She deserves a good life!
For Star’s care. Sending her much ❤❤❤ as well…
this made me tear up. so sad to see her in pain. thank you for helping her.
Adopted already? That is fantastic news!! ❤ If you go to Rocky’s website and read the story, there is a button link to
“adopt” - that is where it says that she was adopted. I hope there’s a follow up story on what was wrong with her hip.
People abandon dogs because some of these shelters charge a lot of money to take the dog. The. SPCA in Monterey wants $250.
@@bayareagrl4ever526 They aren't trying to make a profit and the staff working there aren't getting rich, you do know that, right?
It is a non-profit open admission shelter. They take in strays and I'm willing to bet if someone can't pay a fee to surrender their pet they aren't going to turn them away.
People abandon dogs because they are lazy and don't care about their animal. It isn't the fees causing them to abandon a dog.
really?? yay!!! happy for her
Yes, it is. Also, because I am seriously falling in love with her and we already have three great dogs, all rescues! My daughter got us into pitties and they are the best dogs in the world. I'd so love to have another one! So glad she has a home. I do hope it's a good one!
@agrl4ever526 Oh yes, that's a good excuse 🙄 So tired of that same old tired excuse. How about taking care of your own dogs? Dumping them while using money as an excuse doesn't make me feel any better especially when I'm pretty positive they all have $1200.00 phones, drink starbucks every day etc. This nonsense that everyone is destitute is bs, but please keep making feeble excuses for these losers. You dump any dogs lately? I wonder why you think it's ok for these poor shelters and rescues to keep taking these dogs in like they have money pouring in from the sky but get mad when they have a fee to take care of YOUR dog and turn around and be the first to complain that they are putting them to sleep. But it's ok as long as the alleged "poor" people don't have to use their money. Yep, that makes sense.
Poor baby. I can’t imagine her slowly having to understand she was just left for no reason. Abandoned by the people who were supposed to love her the most. So happy this angel was saved by someone else.
Completely unfair thing to say
That is torn ACL, our pittie mix just had the surgery for the very same injury and had exactly those symptoms. I've been a firefighter for 35 years and I watched this vid and was balling my eyes out. She reminds me so much of our baby the way she was behaving. I can tell she is an awesome loving animal and deserves better. I was so glad to see that she has already gotten adopted.
I don't understand how anyone can give a such a loving animal like star away.
Oh man I am so glad to hear this. I lost my 13 yr old pit boxer mix In October and I’ve cried every day since. I’m out of work right now and couldn’t afford to take on any expenses of owning a pet as a responsible pet owner. She’s a beautiful dog.
How do you know this lovely dog has a torn ACL? I have no idea what an ACL is. Is this injury common to pit bulls?
@@lizard389 possibly a lower-income family that couldn't foot the bill for the surgery & were embarrassed by the fact they couldn't help her.
@@ShikokuFoodForestACL = anterior cruciate ligament, it connects the thigh bone to the shin, so her limping is a big clue. It's a common injury in humans especially athletes, so I imagine it can happen with a rambunctious dog.
Thanks
Thanks to you!🌞
Star has a very calm energy. She would make a great therapy dog to visit pediatric wards of hospitals. I can see her being a great buddy to young children in a family, too. Such great news that she was adopted. She captured my heart watching the video and I knew she would be adopted.
I agree
It would be wonderful to match hospitals and pet shel
Please, please have your wife on more videos. She has the same kind, gentle heart you do, just like my wife!
Glad to hear about Star being adopted!
Thanks! You may raise enough from this video to cover her care🥰🥰
Thanks! Love what you do for these babies.
You are very kind, thank you! 😃
What a beautiful girl and what a sad story. I am glad the owners gave her up. The fact that they put her as a stray is sad.
And the fact that they won't say anything about the leg injury.
I love how she just gazed in Kelly's eyes when she came in and started petting her...❤. Happy to read below that she was adopted! What a sweetheart!! 💖
I’m sitting here with my geriatric pibble, just sobbing for Star. I’m taking you up on your offer to match my contribution. She deserves a real chance in life to love and be loved. My boy and I are rooting for her. ❤
Thank you for rooting her on as well!
Thanks! Good morning 🐾💙🐺
Mornin and thank you so much!
she is gorgeous!!! i just cannot find sympathy for anyone who says, 'yeah, we just don't want her anymore!' the only sympathy i have in this situation is for STAR, who is the star and will find a better, more perfect home!!
It's so sad. They were probably thru with her, like a toy they were bored with. She needs someone who really loves her.
No sweeter dog than a PIT BULL...Rocky you are the Best Man on this UNIVERSE 💖 Thank you forever n every single treat n 💕
My daughter adopted an American Pitbull Terrier from our local shelter that had been there a while. This girl, named Zena is nothing but a big bundle of kisses and love.
My fiancee and I was going to foster the Staffordshire Bull Terrier that's in my picture from a shelter, which my fiancee and I had fostered numerous times.
But as soon as we met him, we fell in love with him and decided to adopt and put the paperwork in there and then.
Zeus was rescued from a life of abuse and being used as a bait dog by the police and RSPCA in the UK.
Zeus was a bundle of love from day 1 and celebrated his 15th birthday a couple of weeks ago.
My dog's name was Hannibal I had him for about 13 years he crossed the Rainbow Bridge how about 2 years ago I miss him a lot he would wake me up every morning to go outside. He was a sweet dog😢
Pit Bulls are absolutely wonderful dogs until they suddenly and unexpectedly rip your face off.
@@holzmann8443 That's with their tongues. Mine is really vicious with his love and kisses. As you can see in my picture, he's a hero that was rescued from a life of abuse and used as a bait dog for dog fighting.
But despite his past. He's the most loving, loyal, caring and devoted dog I've ever known. ❤
@@sfguidry1959 I'm truly sorry for the loss of Hannibal. You gave him the best life possible and that's what is important. You gave each other love and devotion too.
Star has already found her perfect home. It is with Kelly and Rocky.
Exactly
❤️❤️❤️❤️ I suspect the owners hurt her.
We have a pit / boxer mix rescue. Such a loving baby! Have had her 10 years now.
@@arbonneladyTN I think rough housing with her, and her leg got 'broken". My little dog had that. Stifle is torn. Little SHI TUZ.. just slipped off sidewalk and hurt her leg. Back then a bit over 600 to fix. She was my baby!
She did? So happy 😊😊😊
@@anateixeira7972 I don't think they adopted her
Cried right out the gate!!! So sad and doesn’t know where her family is now and why she's in a cold/ lonely place....a shelter. She's sweet, loving, playful (I could see right away!!) & needs people to love and to love her. Blessings to Star ❤
This one got me. I cried from beginning to end. I can't even watch any more of these...Another one that I would take in A HEART BEAT
For her to be so calm and sweet while in pain is a testament to her amazing personality.
she is used to seeing pain- pain her victims have endured.
Her eyes are so pretty I hope she gets her happily ever after
Thanks. She’s such a lovely dog and I really hope she’ll find a forever home. 🙋♀️🐶
I struggle watching these videos without weeping! We’ve had 4 adopted pitties - two are still with us. They are truly lovely and affectionate dogs. One of the reasons they’ve been used for fighting is they are generally NOT aggressive toward humans but instead just want to please us. Fighting dogs are abused - that’s how they get them to fight. Thanks for being such a lovely ambassador for the breed Star! And thank you Rocky and your lovely wife for the tremendous work you do.
BTW, our one little pittie (who btw was the fastest!) had several ACL surgeries and recovered beautifully
Thanks!
Appreciate you
What a sweet girl. I hope she gets the care she needs. Thanks for all you do.
"You're a good girl"...wrecks me each and every time. You are making a difference!
This got me crying my eyes out. That pittie is so darn sweet. Thank you to this man for showing how loving dogs are. I’m glad she got adopted.♥️✨
How could anybody "not want her anymore"?!!! What a gorgeous girl. She just needs medical attention and her furever family! ❤
@deb6853 there are so many resources and low cost clinics for that reason. Shelters will even give food and medical for free to keep dogs with their families. Clearly you have dumped your own dog, who you didn't consider a family member, and are continuing to justify it to yourself. Don't bother. There's no excuse.
@@deb6853that makes no sense comparing it to what they said when they left her.
Pet insurance is so important and helpful.
Glad they turned her in, they do not deserve her loyalty or love.
Star's story made me cry. What a beautiful dog! Great heart, so sweet.❤
I can’t believe that her family didn’t want her, but instead, may have been unable to keep her and were embarrassed. There are three people in that condo, and this dog hasn’t peeped once. That family must have loved her dearly, else she wouldn’t be such a sweet, calm, and loving dog. She is beautiful, too.
It's hard for owners facing hard times, they'll be shamed for having a dog that they can't afford the climbing vet bills for in a world of ever increasing costs of living. Then shamed again for not keeping their dog by the adoption fair hearts.
I hope she finds a home before they can put her down.
@@KeithMcKenzie-ou7gj That dog is so beautiful and so sweet. I can’t imagine no one wants her. If I didn’t live across the country, I’d have take her. She melted my heart after about 2 seconds
@@nahaniyesi breaks my heart that animals can suffer stigma based on the selfish acts of humans, but truly pitbulls are the sweetest beings. I was blessed to experience many pitbulls in my childhood. This dog in the video is especially so used to kind humans and is probably so hurt and confused as to where her humans are and where are the kind people, and im glad she experienced kindness in her life
Yes. Me too.
have a pit dog, and I've had other dogs in my life, but I've never had a better dog than this one, so friendly and sweet and a family friend.
I hope this sweet dog is lucky enough to find someone who will give him lots of love.
From Portugal witt love
The best is that This Sweet dog has surely never been abused. This makes Adoption very easy. She is sooooooooooooooooooooooo Sweet!
How do you know they didn't abuse her? The fact that they act like they don't know why she's injured is suspicious.
I would not be surprised if her injury was a result of being kicked. The fact that she has no positive reactions to her name indicates she did not hear it often or in good circumstances. Looks like she’s been bred; maybe that’s why the owners tired of her, they kept a puppy….
Thanks
I love these videos! Every time he says “you’re a good girl!” I feel like I’m being hypnotized by these words hahaha thank you for helping our furry friends out there, watching from Japan!
Pit bulls are so mis-understood. The majority of them are just as Rocky said, so sweet. our pit bull was dumped about 1/2 mile from our house. We tried the usual "found dog" posters, listed her in the local paper. and eventually we had to take her to a local shelter, because our (pre existing) beagle was totally against having another dog in the house. And I WILL NOT tie a dog out in the yard. The shelter was able to help us get our begal to be ok with another dog. and after about 2 weeks (I went to the shelter every day to spend time with the pit bull. I wanted her to know she wasn't just being thrown away again. There is one "thing" about owning a pit bull. They are VERY ENERGETIC, and NEED a LOT OF EXERCISE!!! After about 4 or 5 years, ours finally settled down enough that we could skip a day between exercising. Ours was very good with our children. sadly, she grew old, and developed cancer. So we had to euthanize her. That was HARD, but she was suffering, and WE could not let her suffer any longer.
That is very sad . The donkey that Mary and Jesus rode don't you think he is still with Mary and Jesus today . He was the first fur baby that I know of in their home . So if Jesus has his fur babies there then I think we do to .
You and your family are wonderful people ❤
What a good shelter to help your dog get used to the pittie. Thank you for providing that fur-baby a loving home. I am truly sorry for your loss. I rescued a pittie that was in a pen 24/7. He had a miserable life. I was able to talk the owners into letting me have the dog. Within a week he started coughing up blood. Turns out he had heartworms. After more than $900, he was treated and given a clean bill of health. He's never been very active and I'm assuming it's because he was never played with as a puppy 😭 and because the heartworms slowed him down. He is older now I give him lots of love to make up for those previous, so called, owners. He is a house dog now and will always be treated like our love bug.
You make me cry.
You sent her over the Rainbow Bridge yes, but she flew on winged feet that grew from all the love you showered her with.
