    Good grief! I adopted a Dogo Argentino a month ago from a shelter. He was behaving EXACTLY the same way! That sad immobility, refused treats, wouldn’t make eye contact….wouldnt even stand up when I got him out of the pen, bellied down the ground and refused to take a step.
    He was found in an abandoned house and brought to the shelter in county Louth (I’m in Ireland)
    When he finally accepted that he was safe - he does exactly the same thing - leaning in, curling up on my lap - and licking my face.
    I can’t believe it’s baked into the breed!
    I’d never even heard of Dogo Argentino - and thought the shelter person was making things up to make him sound snazzy.
    Murphy and I are inseparable, I love him dearly - and he’s the dog I’ve been waiting for all my life.
    Keep up your great work!

    Just a note to Rocky, the “non-musician” - I think the singing helped! Caspar’s affect changed slightly and he seemed to relax a bit and even grow curious in response to that shift in the atmosphere. (He doesn’t care how good your voice is or whether you sing the same verse on repeat!) Loads of video evidence shows that animals of all kinds respond to music, and singing (or playing recorded music that’s soft, low, and soothing) might go a long way to ease the anxiety of animals in stressful situations such as sudden abandonment and adapting to the shelter. It might be worth considering using music regularly in the shelter environment.
    I’m so glad to hear that this sweet, beautiful boy found a home. I hope his new family is worthy of him.

      I don't know how long ago this was filmed, but if it any where close to Christmas my thought was, this is another family that promised their kids a new puppy, so the "dispose" of this one and buy them a puppy, especially since Casper was a puppy when they got him a year ago. So next year they will probably surrender that next dog and do it again.

      My current doggo absolutely loved my Father. My Father came to live with me after he had received a terminal diagnosis of heart failure, and unfortunately for him due to other health issues, wasn't a candidate for a replacement. He spent a lot of time in a hospital and rehab facilities and then he finally said that he wanted to come home with me. I made that happen.
      My doggo became his nurse. She would come to him first thing in the morning and check on him. Sitting by his side until he woke up, and she knew she couldn't jump in his lap like she could before, and would simply wait to lick his hand. Any time anyone was helping my Dad, she had to be right there watching. She would come to him several times a day and check on him. She would bring him her favorite toy just to have him throw it for her even just once. When he called for something, she would let out some barks to get peoples' attention, even if we were just in the next room.
      My father passed away within a year, he fought very hard. After that happened, doggo came to lay down next to his chair, but sniffed all around it and looked around wondering where he was. After a while, she realized he wasn't going to be there, so she laid down next to that chair the whole day and night and she wouldn't eat. She absolutely loved him .

    I own a Dogo and they are wonderful dog. They are not for everyone. They are high energy, stubborn and need a firm hand. If you work with them they will give you lots and lots of love. They have tons of personality. We rescued ours from a backyard breeder that lost a set of papers and was going to drown the puppies. I had to bottle feed a few weeks. I am so glad we took one. She is such a good girl.

I actually felt like looking into this to see if I could adopt Casper, so I signed up for the updates and I saw on the page that there are several requests in to adopt Casper. That makes me feel so good. I hope he finds a home with good people who will keep him until the end - he deserves no less.

    They have this stillness, just like this pup, even when they have a happy home. That Dogo I knew would just stand motionless and chill while I petted him, but I was also aware he could flip quickly and give you the what-for, lol

    When I would take my dog to the vet, her whole little body would tremble. She was soooo frightened, so I started to sing little songs to her that I made up on the spot. They were songs about how little Daisy was so brave, and so strong, and so pretty, and she wasn't afraid of anything because she was the best dog in the whole world. It never failed to calm her down. The songs tune always differed from visit to visit, as did the words, but they were always about Daisy, the strong, beautiful, smart dog who was never afraid of anything. I highly recommend singing praises to your dog to encourage them and show them how much you love them.

    I would absolutely adopt him. I adoped a dogs who was frozen like this. He eventually warmed up and became the sweetest most devoted pup. I loved him for 14 yrs, his whole life. Best friend ever.

    This broke me.. you can clearly see the pain and sadness in his eyes and on his face.. he doesn't know what he did wrong.. he is a guardian breed dogo and is faithfully waiting for his bonded humans to come collect him.. but they're not.. they betrayed him! SHAME on them.. COWARDS.. 😢❤️

      He seemed to change, soften, and become somewhat receptive when you were singing. I thought that you might have continued on from there toward touching him. 🎶

    Every dog touches my heart, but "Casper" broke my heart. "His sadness is palpable" was the comment below. He acted so stoic. He was falling asleep while standing frozen. Anyone with a heart could see he just wanted to be loved and desperately needed a gentle touch. Thank you Jennifer; you are a dog whisperer with a special touch. And Rocky - you are a hero. Anyone can see your heart is full and so reactive to each dog. Thk u for all your good work and kindness.

    December is a difficult month for me, as it is for many. My Shih Tzu had canine dementia and I had my vet euthanize him. This is my first Christmas without him. Today I saw Casper and he put a genuine smile on my face. I would drive down and adopt him myself if I had a yard. Thank you.

      @@rockykanaka Rocky, I beg to differ! You have a lovely, soothing voice - but more importantly, Casper, or any dog, doesn’t care if you’re not a professional or if you sing the same verse on repeat! He seemed to relax slightly in response to the change in the atmosphere and even grow a little curious. There’s loads of video evidence that animals respond to music, and that the right kind of music can reduce their stress. It might be worth considering incorporating soft, piped music into the shelter environment or having caretakers sing softly to dogs in distress. In my experience it can be quite effective. Thanks for sharing this beautiful boy’s story and for all you do to care and advocate for animals in need.

    If I wasn't thousands of miles away, I'd have taken him. Such a handsome and striking boy.
    My first time commenting on one of your videos. Rocky, you are a truly amazing person and to mend a dog's broken heart is a true gift. You have persuaded me to rescue an older dog rather than go for a puppy when the time comes. These shelter dogs deserve the same amount of love in return for the love they share with us.

      compassionate ones realize that older abodoned animals, as well as devoted ones, whose owners have died, need a loving new home. My dear Friend trusted her Vet, to pick a loving home known by him, from among his Clients, that would love her Doggy. Her dog was adopted by Clients he trusted, before she died. Brave,loving, and wise.❤

    That is how it was for our older Corso Vader. He was abused by his owners boyfriends and he became my husbands best friend. My husband is also very soft spoken, patient, consistent , kind, all of 5’3” but he is the boss lol is a very strong leader he also has kind of long gray hair with a Santa beard lol. Within 3 weeks he had our rescue Corso’s following his commands and not chasing the cat around the house( well the one that was running) we had two. One was too old to run so they didn’t even bother her. When we got our Corso’s they just showed up in our yard but we found their old owners and the boys had been missing from them for over a week. They weren’t looking for them. Their vet said they were monsters. They weren’t monsters they just didn’t have any socialization or love and respect I have 1000’s of pics and videos to show of how well they did coming from being locked up and trying to kill each other to I can take them anywhere and the kids can lay all over the youngest one who is 6. I do not believe that there is any furbaby that can not be rehabilitated in some way shape or form to suit their needs so they can live a good quality of life. Anyway this baby is a yr and a half old he deserves a whole family with no restrictions. He is not old enough to have been damaged beyond repair. 😢❤❤❤

    I am crying my eyes out when he finally trust and receive the contact! I can barely speak. Rocky, you are a TREASURE. All you who care are! And reminding all the animals they are treasured!
    I'm making up a story in my mind that he saw a woman he felt faithful loyal to get abused by a man in that family. That's why he won't stand down off his guard. What a good good boy 😢
    Then when the woman comes in he realizes Rocky is safe because the woman is happy to be around Rocky!
    I hope and pray his new adopted family are doing well with him and he with them, and that they are prepared to love him through whatever is locked inside of him that hurt. It's only febuary 2nd 2024 now. I'm going to keep looking around online for a dog named Casper who got adopted and see if we get a video somehow from the new family someday somewhere. I want to see that very much!!
