Enjoy this member preview vid ad free as a thank you for being on this journey with me ❤🤙 I don't know how long this journey will take for him as he is going to need some major mental rehabilitation but I know we can do this 💪 Thank you!
Thank you Rocky for stepping into his corner to help him, even though he doesnt know what he wants or what he needs. It is very difficult but they all need our help, even though the path forward is uncertain. ❤ We have your back
Awwee, so happy to see you take Pumpkin to be the next Flip’s Farm dog, Flip would definitely be so proud of You and Kelly! I’m sure his spirit still runs freely amongst the farm, and he will be there for Pumpkin, just as he was when he watched over Bean. The farm is just what Pumpkin needs to decompress and put all the fears and pain he has experienced in his young life behind him, and learn how to live within a loving family. So very cute how Pumpkin rests his head and cuddles into your neck Rocky, just like Kobe did as a puppy. Looking forward to watching his progression! ❤️🐶
I am a 67 year old Man, after watching this i am crying right now, thank you so much for taking him in and giving him a chance on a good life ! You and your wife are saints !
Heh, Rocky, did you see that Al Pacino referred to you in his interview with the New York Times this past Sunday? He said when he goes to his trailer when he’s on set of a movie, he watches TH-cam: “And rescued dogs: You watch the guy go in there and bring this beautiful, sad dog back. I love this stuff!”
Rocky, I am with you. My heart is with you. And I am wondering why you keep referring to this doggie as ""they"... I just need to be educated by you. Thank you! I'm so moved by the way you end up taking him with you. Bless you and Kelly for all you do for the animals! ❤
That's fitting as Al Pacino is apparently a really lovely guy....other big actors same age & level don't get the same feedback but Al apparently goes out of his way to be cool & engage with fans & just b a good human..... ....like attracts like 🧸🐾🤗
I adopted a schnauzer someone hit him and left him and he can't use his back legs has to wear diapers and nobody wanted to adopt him they made fun of him and they called me knowing I love my schnauzers . I went for him picked him up and I had a white shirt on and he peed all down my shirt . I didn't care because he was coming home with me . I have had him for 6 years now and he is such a joy. He's always happy and he tries so hard to use his back legs . We got him a wheel chair and he loves it . God bless you for doing what you do ❤️❤️❤️
OMG this was my boy Rusty right down to the ears and the body. The only difference is that he was a little bit darker red. I had him for 11 years. I brought him back from the brink of emotional shut down due to severe abuse when he was a puppy. He had the best life with us. we hiked, we swam in lakes and rivers, he enjoyed chasing sheep and cattle... my boy Rusty is over the Rainbow Bridge now. When I cross over I hope he greets me. I have no doubt that you will be able to give this boy a wonderful rehabilitation and life!!
Hey brother. Here's a 20 for what you do. It ain't much, but its what I can afford right now (I probably shouldnt be giving it, but what can I say... I believe in your mission. Keep doing it.) Edit: I'm absolutely certain Flip is proud of you. In the name of lost babies, my 20 bucks comes from Hoyt, the Pomeranian/ Chihuahua cross who saw me through the toughest years of my life, battling painkiller addiction. I love you Hoyt. Wish i had given you so much more.
I have a dissociative response to trauma and I felt this dog's fear so hard; I've never had that happen in a video before. It was actually terrifying watching when he got scooped; you can see he just wasn't there and I know what that's like. I'm so glad Rocky pulled him and made the commitment to give him all the time and love he needs to heal.
When you feel he is ready. I will adopt him. He reminds me of my Rocket who is an American Dingo (Carolina Dog). Pumpkin looks just like him. I found Rocket on the Las Vegas Strip. He was just as shut down as Pumpkin. I had a pack of 3 but lost 1 on July 25th. He would have 2 doggie brothers, 2 kitty sisters, and a bunny brother as well.
They had to put him in isolation part way through this video because he couldn't handle all of the noise, random people coming by, etc. He definitely wouldn't do well with all those animals, I'm sorry to say!
@@mandymorrow5473 A shelter is a very stressful environment with lots of animals that are way out of it . A home environment with maybe two well adapted and relaxed dogs around is a different situation all together; these other dogs can give another dog a feeling of belonging, in the pack that is very natural to dogs. We will have to wait and see how Pumpkin gets along and....I put my cards on Rocky & Kelly to get it right!!! 🥰💓💓💓
This was my black German shepherd Ava. I rescued her from an abusive and neglectful owner. She used to back into a corner, and go bathroom all over the place, if anyone came close to her. It is so true that no one is too far gone. I got down as close to her as possible. I told Ava she was safe now. I would never let anyone hurt her again. She would always have a home with me. I would never abandon her. She was my loving shadow for eight years, before she passed. Im so glad she left this world, knowing what it was to be a dog, who was loved. My other shepherd taught her how to play with a ball. Rescue dogs are the best.😊💞🐾
My vet warned me that she would never be ok...I decided to try anyway. I have a long story, no one wants to hear but I will tell you, this boy was in wayyy better shape than the dog I picked up that someone had drug behind a car completely ripping the pads off of her feet. Fast forward...she now lives in Colorado, hikes, runs, friendly to all, loving to all, an amazing transformation due to the diligence of a young lady in Baton Rouge Louisiana. It is a fairy tale ending that she deserved. I'm glad I was just a part of the process, along for the ride...
That’s horrific.. glad the dog is in a loving home and living an amazing life. Humans should be on a pet banned list for no ownership of any. People are extremely disturbed and just ugh 😣
I am leaking a few tears, but these are happy ones. Pumpkin going to the Flips farm is the perfect thing for him. Thank you, thank you and thank you. Sending love and support!!!
As someone who was abused, watching this is SO healing! Thank you for caring. Thank you for taking the time to tend to the wounds that aren’t visible. Love is the answer.
@@annieb9627 That was my original goal, in College. As a Volunteer, before the Animal Health Technology course I saw it all, as well. That, and we had a Diabetic Dog. She was the reason I did go for Animal Health. I can say I tried!
He was so well behaved for his bath with Mel! You can see he's scared but less shut down with her, which is so cute and shows how much of a kind aura Mel gives off I love Pumpkin so much and wish him the best
I wish punkin could stay with me but I know becasuse of what he needs,just the right person needs to be his fur momma or daddy.He needs companionship And a schedule that he can count on ,he looks like he has been really super lonely and didn't have time to learn animal instincts from his mama.. Taken away too soon, by an owner that was too busy,maybe to be a pet owner❤ This is wonderful to wake up to and start the day😊
Oh my shattered heart! I love Pumpkin so much!! I have severe anxiety and panic attacks so I kind of know how he feels. It’s horrible. I love him and pray for much happier days ahead. ❤
Well, this big little boy is why I finally became a member. Pumpkin needs Flip's Farm more than any dog I have seen on your channel and if my monthly payment will help him, that's enough for me. It is just so, so sad. I live on the East Coast of Canada, so I am about as far away as I could be on this continent, but it's the love of dogs that brings us all together. it's going to be okay, Pumpkin. It really is.
maybe they need some volunteer cuddlers. being stinky could keep people from spending time with him. I love him. And I am thankful for you helping these babies
Thank you so much for taking him to the farm Rocky. He looks like such an absolutely sweet boy. I am sure you and Kelly will be able to help him. You two have so much love and he can feel it. Please give us ongoing pupdates on this sweet Pumpkin.
Thank you Rocky! Thanks for polling members too. I’ll bet he’s already starting to feel a little better being on the farm surrounded by sounds of nature, peace, kindness and sensing true safety.
@@CynthiaSchoenbauersame. I hope you’re safe now. I had a service dog to help when I would dissociate. When Texas passed, I rescued two pups with bad trauma. Now I’m giving back to help them live in safety. But no matter their journey, we won’t live in fear again.
Rocky you are a rock star…..I broke down and cried when you made the decision to pull Pumpkin…and then when you walked out with him. I will be watching closely to learn how he is doing going forward. God Bless you and Kelly for taking him to the farm.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh my another tear jerker. Poor pumpkin I understand anxiety and being so scared your paralyzed. I pray he recovers and gets the loving home every dog truly deserves.
Thank you for working with this hurting boy. Donation in memory of my Ellie, a recue who was also shut down and so broken and we gave her all the love and patience it took to have 7 good years together. We always had to be careful with her in certain situations, but her anxiety improved far beyond what specialists thought was possible.
I actually had a dog cry. She was making the noises and had watery eyes when she thought her puppy friend had died. The puppy was taken from the home and rushed to the vet. While she was there, the kids packed up to move to their new home. I had to bring Cleo to the vet to see Dixie to prove she was still alive.
Pumpkin is definitely a Carolina Dog. My Marja looked just like him, including spots on the tongue. They are a bit skeptical of new things (people they don't know), but are great family pets, except maybe with cats. She was very protective of my boys and then the grandkids. Marja lived to be almost 16 years old. Taking Pumpkin to the farm is the best thing you could do for him right now. The love and attention you and Kelly give to him and all of the dogs when they need it most is just incredible. Thank you.
Yep, the eyes give them away. Got one in ginger and he's a reserved, defensive and loyal dog. In unfamiliar territory he'll shy away and get vocal (growling with hackles up) but will not attack unless cornered. Smart and has an internal clock like most dingos. They have to "patrol" in the morning and the evening to see what's up in their domain; a good walk does them wonders. My Carolina Dog will not hesitate to nose under the blankets to get me up for the AM walk, if I'm lazy. Keeps me young...
@@avi-tar2827mine is a terrible walking buddy. He don’t cut me no slack. Every morning mine wakes me up for a walk. If I ignore him he literally barks right in my face. Some mornings I beg him to let me have the morning off but no….he wants his walk and it has to be on his terms. No one else in the house will do. I also have a dog door and large fenced in yard. That is not what he wants and my bossy spoiled dogs always gets his way. lol
@@smokeyeyemom9415 Google the Carolina Dog and Dr Brisbin's research after finding a litter in the wild in SC. They are descended from the Australian Dingo. Very interesting information.
Rocky: “I know this is hard. We’re going to take deep breaths together.” Me: deep breath ❤ There is a special place in heaven for Mel. She is so good to those dogs. Bless her.
We had a dog from the pound for 8 years. She was so timid that she clung to the workers when I picked her up and my teens had to carry her in the house. If someone came over she got scared and crapped. If I was walking her and someone stopped to talk, the dog was in fear. But to me and my family she was the best dog. Loved being petting and raised h* ll if she heard a stranger outside. Don't pass up a timid dog cause when it warms up to you, then it's friendship for life
My Pandora was very afraid of everything and everyone. But she was as smart as they come. She is now over the rainbow 🌈 bridge but she was the most intelligent loyal puppy 🐶 I ever had. I had her since she was 6 weeks old up until she was 15 years old she was very timid. I think she was separated from her mother too early and that’s why she was so scared. But I was able to socialize her and she was very active after a while .
St. Francis would be proud of Rocky, Kelly, and Mel. Best friends are the ones you want to help the most. Mel is right about him having an old soul in a puppy body. Thank you for being a beautiful voice for the forgotten and the hurt. 🙏🐶❤️
Rocky you are a miracle worker! By the time MEL BATHED HIM HE WAS IN A DIFFERENT FRAME OF MIND HAVING SPENT TIME WITH YOU BEING SO GENTLE AND LOVING WITH HIM. i LOVE SEEING HIS TRANSFORMATION AFTER SITTING WITH YOU AND BEING BATHED BY MEL. THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO FOR THESE PREICOUS DOGS AND FOR TAKING HIM TO THE FARM. lOVE TO ALL OF YOU!
Pumpkin just needed to be saved and you saw his little lost soul & reached out to him. Thank you for doing what you do, Rocky. I can’t wait to see him shine and give back love. 🥰
I am a retired teacher of 30 years and have been told that there’s a special place in Heaven for teachers. But, after watching many, many of your videos, I just have to tell you guys that there’s a very special place for all of you in Heaven. Like you’ve said before, Rocky, ‘There’s already a dog whisperer’…you are the dogs’ savior…simply put, God is not the only one that is so very proud of you…we all are. Of course, if you don’t like the dogs’ savior, you could call yourself the goosebump giver. Keep up the amazing work you guys!
The second visit he was full of apprehension, and to watch the way he softened with the head rubs ... It was like pouring water on a dying plant. He NEEDED that, and that love is what will make him bloom. What you do is so beautiful and so soul lifting. Thank you for helping sweet Pumpkin. I wish him a long happy life with love poured all over him every single day.
Look > 1:34 "If I just melt into the floor and disappear then no-one will see me and all these pains and problems will go away". This happens to people as well. I understand. Thank god you were there for him.
I'm a first time watcher to this channel. I got curious & clicked onto the short. I went on to see the full vid & I couldn't stop watching. I was so touched, I couldn't pull away. They tugged onto my heart & I feel warm all over. God Bless all these good people. It takes very special people to do this kind of work. ❤❤❤ Pumpkin is a great name.
This looks like my Bella we just lost. She was a shepherd/lab/jindo mix. She was the sweetest. This poor scared baby breaks my heart!! Thanks SO much for helping him!!😭
@@christinanevils3376 That Dog Is Going To Be Fine!! He Ain't Mean!! He Needs A Vet, And Some Love, That's All!! He is Cute, But He Is Sad!!🐕😥He Just Needs To Get Out Of There!! Ahh!! Mixed Breed!! Take Him Home!!❤️ Shepherd, Chow Chow, And Lab!!👍🏻
It's not the first time I've gotten teary watching these dogs with you. But this one...full on ugly cry. What a beautiful boy, and I know, that he's in the best hands and his future will be so much more life filled. What a wonderful thing you all do, and the members, and the support, shelter workers, Mel. Hearts of gold for the animals that may never have had a chance. You're a good boy Pumpkin. Can't wait to watch this beautiful soul's story and transformation. As I sit here, in my comfy chair, with my 2 rescues soaking up the sun, we are sending abundant love, and good vibes.
@@va.spider you're right. I don't know if they revealed a dog breed (I'm not done watching this video), but I initially saw a shepherd there, like Swiss Shepherd and also a light Chow because of the darker tongue and the "teddy bear" face
Well, hello, Pumpkin! Aren't you gorgeous! Don't fret, Rocky and Kelly are going to shower you with love until your heart is filled to overflowing. Your future just got brighter and you will feel loved. 🤗😘🐶
He is a beautiful dog. I feel bad that he didn't get the love the needed and deserved. You can tell that he longs for every touch, he leans forward. You gave him that.
Oh my, Pumpkin brought me to tears. So much sadness and anxiety for such a beautiful creature. My heart just hurts for him. So grateful that you, Kelly and the team are on his side. Oh, Pumpkin.❤❤😢
I’m so happy you have taken this lovely boy under your wing, I’m sure Pumpkin will come on in leaps and bounds. Sending healing thoughts and prayers from the UK, And love to all of you guys and especially Pumpkin! I look forward to seeing his progress ❤
All of your videos are so heart-wrenching because I can feel the dogs' responses! I rescue dogs from shelters/the pound as often as we can and adopt them FOR LIFE...
Oh my goodness, I would take him in a heartbeat, Iam 67 and I totally understand this sweet dog. This makes me wish I lived closer to where he is. Rocky, I thank God for people like you, every night I say a prayer for all lost, abused and abandon pets as well as kids, I believe that doing this can help, and that God, helps the love be spread. Thank you for the work you do. I became a member after seeing this video - 4.99 is a small price to pay if it helps these sweet dogs.

The simplest words of wisdom came straight from your giant heart, Rocky: "You're never too far gone to receive love." It applies to everyone.

Oh! You pulled him! THANK YOU for being his rescuer!
Thanks for sharing this
Hey brother. Here's a 20 for what you do. It ain't much, but its what I can afford right now (I probably shouldnt be giving it, but what can I say... I believe in your mission. Keep doing it.)
Edit: I'm absolutely certain Flip is proud of you. In the name of lost babies, my 20 bucks comes from Hoyt, the Pomeranian/ Chihuahua cross who saw me through the toughest years of my life, battling painkiller addiction. I love you Hoyt. Wish i had given you so much more.
I’m crying reading your story. Hoyt loved you through your tough times, and now you’re here paying it forward. God bless you. 🙏❤️
Your story of Hoyt mad me weep!!
Hayt loves you 🥹🐾🙏 take care man
Hope you make so much money you never have to think about it. ❤ So kind of you.
Thanks to everyone who had something lovely to say. I appreciate that. Know that it made my night nicer. Go continue being good to people ❤️

@sonyacostin3213 agree! I, too have CPTSD & my dog is very aware of how i am doing. Bless you!
🙏♥️🙏
He is beautiful, would never hurt anyone or anything. Thank you for helping Pumpkin!
Rocky you are a rock star…..I broke down and cried when you made the decision to pull Pumpkin…and then when you walked out with him. I will be watching closely to learn how he is doing going forward. God Bless you and Kelly for taking him to the farm.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is heartbreaking. I know you and Kelly will save his/her life👼🐶💗
Oh my another tear jerker. Poor pumpkin I understand anxiety and being so scared your paralyzed. I pray he recovers and gets the loving home every dog truly deserves.
Poor baby so scared. So glad you say no dog is too far gone! Don’t give up!
Thank you for bringing this sweet dog to our attention. Bless you for what you do. Shows the beautiful hearts of you and your family.
❤
Very generous of you!! Thanks for supporting the channel
Oh, God Bless the “Scoop!”
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I’m so happy! I just cried seeing you walk out of there with him! Thank you guys so much!! I can’t wait to see the progression! ❤❤❤
That is what I was asking. Are there going to be updates?
Thank you for working with this hurting boy. Donation in memory of my Ellie, a recue who was also shut down and so broken and we gave her all the love and patience it took to have 7 good years together. We always had to be careful with her in certain situations, but her anxiety improved far beyond what specialists thought was possible.
Thank you and RIP Ellie ❤️❤️
Danke!
❤❤❤
🥰🥰🥰
The beauty of your empathy is overwhelming. So very moved by your love.💙💙💙💙
I actually had a dog cry. She was making the noises and had watery eyes when she thought her puppy friend had died. The puppy was taken from the home and rushed to the vet. While she was there, the kids packed up to move to their new home. I had to bring Cleo to the vet to see Dixie to prove she was still alive.
Pumpkin is definitely a Carolina Dog. My Marja looked just like him, including spots on the tongue. They are a bit skeptical of new things (people they don't know), but are great family pets, except maybe with cats. She was very protective of my boys and then the grandkids. Marja lived to be almost 16 years old. Taking Pumpkin to the farm is the best thing you could do for him right now. The love and attention you and Kelly give to him and all of the dogs when they need it most is just incredible. Thank you.
Yep, the eyes give them away. Got one in ginger and he's a reserved, defensive and loyal dog. In unfamiliar territory he'll shy away and get vocal (growling with hackles up) but will not attack unless cornered. Smart and has an internal clock like most dingos. They have to "patrol" in the morning and the evening to see what's up in their domain; a good walk does them wonders.
My Carolina Dog will not hesitate to nose under the blankets to get me up for the AM walk, if I'm lazy. Keeps me young...
I had never heard of a Carolina dog until this video. My dog is a twin even to the spotted tounge as well. My dog was adopted from South Carolina.
@@avi-tar2827mine is a terrible walking buddy. He don’t cut me no slack. Every morning mine wakes me up for a walk. If I ignore him he literally barks right in my face. Some mornings I beg him to let me have the morning off but no….he wants his walk and it has to be on his terms. No one else in the house will do. I also have a dog door and large fenced in yard. That is not what he wants and my bossy spoiled dogs always gets his way. lol
@@smokeyeyemom9415 Google the Carolina Dog and Dr Brisbin's research after finding a litter in the wild in SC. They are descended from the Australian Dingo. Very interesting information.
Rocky: “I know this is hard. We’re going to take deep breaths together.”
Me: deep breath
❤
There is a special place in heaven for Mel. She is so good to those dogs. Bless her.
isn't she awesome 🥰
@@natalierachellouisesantana and they all just adore her! 🤩🥰😇
Mel is the best ❤️
I did the same thing!
Same!
We had a dog from the pound for 8 years. She was so timid that she clung to the workers when I picked her up and my teens had to carry her in the house. If someone came over she got scared and crapped. If I was walking her and someone stopped to talk, the dog was in fear. But to me and my family she was the best dog. Loved being petting and raised h* ll if she heard a stranger outside. Don't pass up a timid dog cause when it warms up to you, then it's friendship for life
My Pandora was very afraid of everything and everyone. But she was as smart as they come. She is now over the rainbow 🌈 bridge but she was the most intelligent loyal puppy 🐶 I ever had. I had her since she was 6 weeks old up until she was 15 years old she was very timid. I think she was separated from her mother too early and that’s why she was so scared. But I was able to socialize her and she was very active after a while .
This just breaks my heart. Rocky and Kelly-Thank you for all you do. I’m praying for this pup❤
You just know Flip is so happy that you brought Pumpkin to the farm. I'm sure we all can't wait to see his transformation! You're safe now, Pumpkin. 💕
St. Francis would be proud of Rocky, Kelly, and Mel. Best friends are the ones you want to help the most. Mel is right about him having an old soul in a puppy body. Thank you for being a beautiful voice for the forgotten and the hurt. 🙏🐶❤️
Amen!
My parents had no idea since I'm Asian ,But my name is Francis and I'm born on Oct 4..
Rocky you are a miracle worker! By the time MEL BATHED HIM HE WAS IN A DIFFERENT FRAME OF MIND HAVING SPENT TIME WITH YOU BEING SO GENTLE AND LOVING WITH HIM. i LOVE SEEING HIS TRANSFORMATION AFTER SITTING WITH YOU AND BEING BATHED BY MEL. THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO FOR THESE PREICOUS DOGS AND FOR TAKING HIM TO THE FARM. lOVE TO ALL OF YOU!
Pumpkin just needed to be saved and you saw his little lost soul & reached out to him. Thank you for doing what you do, Rocky. I can’t wait to see him shine and give back love. 🥰
Same here. I can't wait!
Amen! He looks so sweet... ❤🥰😍
Trauma cases break my heart. I'm so glad you could take him. Even if he can't stay for the entire time, it is the best thing for him right now. ❤
I am a retired teacher of 30 years and have been told that there’s a special place in Heaven for teachers. But, after watching many, many of your videos, I just have to tell you guys that there’s a very special place for all of you in Heaven. Like you’ve said before, Rocky, ‘There’s already a dog whisperer’…you are the dogs’ savior…simply put, God is not the only one that is so very proud of you…we all are. Of course, if you don’t like the dogs’ savior, you could call yourself the goosebump giver. Keep up the amazing work you guys!
Poor little pup. I’m glad he found you. ❤
Sweet baby Pumpkin makes me want to cry. Please 🙏 keep us posted on him. Hug's to Pumpkin.
Aww Pumpkin is the perfect name for this little sweetheart 🧡 Thank you Rocky, Kelly and the shelter staff for everything you do 🙏🏼💖
The second visit he was full of apprehension, and to watch the way he softened with the head rubs ... It was like pouring water on a dying plant. He NEEDED that, and that love is what will make him bloom. What you do is so beautiful and so soul lifting. Thank you for helping sweet Pumpkin. I wish him a long happy life with love poured all over him every single day.
You’ve sat with some amazing dogs Rocky, but watching you carry Pumkin, with his head on your shoulder, you both became ‘one’. Quite beautiful ❤️❤️
I am so glad he's a part of this fam now 🤙
@@rockykanakais there an update on Pumpkin since coming to the farm posted anywhere?
Thank you Rocky! ❤
Look > 1:34 "If I just melt into the floor and disappear then no-one will see me and all these pains and problems will go away". This happens to people as well. I understand. Thank god you were there for him.
She’s/He’s SO DIGGING that head massage!
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
We are Team Pumpkin! Thrive, baby, thrive!
I'm a first time watcher to this channel. I got curious & clicked onto the short. I went on to see the full vid & I couldn't stop watching. I was so touched, I couldn't pull away. They tugged onto my heart & I feel warm all over. God Bless all these good people. It takes very special people to do this kind of work.
❤❤❤ Pumpkin is a great name.
🐾Love what Mel & the other Lady said "It only gets better from here" 🧡🎃🧡 Can't wait for the pupdate 🐾 Pumpkin.
He's loving those head rubs. He'd definitely be such a loving dog once he opens up.
He did ...he loved his blow dry!
Oh my dear heaven this poor baby. I saw the short of him and had to see his story. You sir are an angel to so many dogs. Applause, Love and RESPECT!!
Me too❣️. That’s what brought me here♥️
Thank you so very much for your help!
Yeah, the short brought me to the whole vid. My own dogs are late getting their dinners because I had to watch. I'm such a bad mom!!!
Thanks! Love for Pumpkin
This made me cry. Thank you for what you do.
This looks like my Bella we just lost. She was a shepherd/lab/jindo mix. She was the sweetest. This poor scared baby breaks my heart!! Thanks SO much for helping him!!😭
Reminds my of my yellow lab and my shepherd/healer mix.
@@kimsal13 I'm so sorry for the loss of your Bella. She sounds like a beautiful girl.
I absolutely love how this guy genuinely cares about animals! Bravo God bless your ❤
@@christinanevils3376 That Dog Is Going To Be Fine!! He Ain't Mean!! He Needs A Vet, And Some Love, That's All!! He is Cute, But He Is Sad!!🐕😥He Just Needs To Get Out Of There!! Ahh!! Mixed Breed!! Take Him Home!!❤️ Shepherd, Chow Chow, And Lab!!👍🏻

Flips IS proud of you Rocky and Kelly❤️❤️
Pumpkin is soooo fortunate that you found him. Thank you, Mel for his spa treatment. I 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 he realizes his best life.
What a good lady Mel is to come in when she has spare time!
Thank you sooooo much, Rocky! Love this sweet boy. ❤
Thanks for helping those humans have hurt.
Rocky- I don’t know ya but I love ya. THANK YOU for doing all you do to help these precious dogs. Earth Angel!♥️🐾
It's not the first time I've gotten teary watching these dogs with you. But this one...full on ugly cry. What a beautiful boy, and I know, that he's in the best hands and his future will be so much more life filled. What a wonderful thing you all do, and the members, and the support, shelter workers, Mel. Hearts of gold for the animals that may never have had a chance. You're a good boy Pumpkin. Can't wait to watch this beautiful soul's story and transformation. As I sit here, in my comfy chair, with my 2 rescues soaking up the sun, we are sending abundant love, and good vibes.
He deserves the chance your farm represents. I believe he can heal there and prepare to be adopted by the right loving family. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you ❤ sending for pumpkin pie ingredients 🥧
I’m so sorry sweet baby. May your every tomorrow be filled w the love you deserve. 🫂 🕊️
Oh, that FACE. I love the way that shepherd mixes and other herding breed mixes emote with their ears so strongly.
@@va.spider you're right. I don't know if they revealed a dog breed (I'm not done watching this video), but I initially saw a shepherd there, like Swiss Shepherd and also a light Chow because of the darker tongue and the "teddy bear" face
Well, hello, Pumpkin! Aren't you gorgeous! Don't fret, Rocky and Kelly are going to shower you with love until your heart is filled to overflowing. Your future just got brighter and you will feel loved. 🤗😘🐶
Thank you. Watching this is a little bit like therapy. My therapist does similar things with me and its works like magic.
Can we get an update on this sweet boy? My heart breaks for these dogs. Some good news would warm my soul. Thank you!♥️🦴🐾
Yayeee..... Thank you Rocky and Kelly for saving this baby boy and thank you Mel for all that you do. He's safe now and we love you Pumpkin Pie ❤❤❤
He has the sweetest face!
Danke!
Thank you Rocky; what a beautiful outcome for him!❤
26:47 he smiles ❤❤❤. You are an angel to help him like that . Thank you so so much.
Thanks for taking Pumpkin into your hearts and out to Flip’s Farm. You guys are great! ❤❤❤❤
I enjoy you, but I wish you wouldn’t make me cry so much!! You are absolutely perfect in everything you do!!
There's good men and then there's Heaven sent. You Sir are both. Thousands if not millions of us are forever grateful to you. ✨💛
He is a beautiful dog. I feel bad that he didn't get the love the needed and deserved. You can tell that he longs for every touch, he leans forward. You gave him that.
Thank you Rocky!!!
Oh my, Pumpkin brought me to tears. So much sadness and anxiety for such a beautiful creature. My heart just hurts for him. So grateful that you, Kelly and the team are on his side. Oh, Pumpkin.❤❤😢
Pumpkin is beautiful
Shepard, yellow Lab, Chow…. A real beauty❤️
Yip! Definitely chow in there. My dog was also a chow lab mix and had that blue and pink tongue!
Definitely not a Sharpei?😊
I’m so happy you have taken this lovely boy under your wing, I’m sure Pumpkin will come on in leaps and bounds. Sending healing thoughts and prayers from the UK, And love to all of you guys and especially Pumpkin! I look forward to seeing his progress ❤
I see those three and maybe cattle dog/heeler. Such a cute pupper!
God will bless you, Rocky. I'm sure this puppy will be alright with your loving help. Shout out to Kelly.
Mel is such an angel! Watching again and in tears! Loved seeing him press his head into your shoulder Rocky!
All of your videos are so heart-wrenching because I can feel the dogs' responses! I rescue dogs from shelters/the pound as often as we can and adopt them FOR LIFE...
We always ask to see the ones that have been there the longest.
Yay Pumpkin! What a good boy. I have a feeling that we are going to see him really blossom 🌸 ❤🐕
Oh my goodness, I would take him in a heartbeat, Iam 67 and I totally understand this sweet dog. This makes me wish I lived closer to where he is. Rocky, I thank God for people like you, every night I say a prayer for all lost, abused and abandon pets as well as kids, I believe that doing this can help, and that God, helps the love be spread. Thank you for the work you do.
I became a member after seeing this video - 4.99 is a small price to pay if it helps these sweet dogs.
