Rocky, I don't believe he attacked a goat. Come on, it's a cop out to not wanting him. He does not look the type to do that. He looks like a lovely natured dog that just wants to understand why he is there and wants to be loved. Please take that into account rather than know he supposedly attacked a goat. ❤❤❤

I fostered a *Border Collie. She hearded the cats. She hearded my other dog. She hearded us people. She would have hearded the plants if they would have moved. I found her a wonderful home on a sheep farm. She had a friend in the other Border Collie they owned. Kept in touch for awhile. She was living the life!!!

I fostered a mastiff/pit bull puppy that was 2 days old. My male chihuahua fell in love with the puppy. He would clean his face after a bottle and also helped him go to the bathroom. I live in a one bedroom apartment, so keeping it was a no. It wouldn't be fair to a dog that would be so big. I have pictures of the chihuahua sleeping and guarding the pup.

I work in an animal shelter and I fully agree with the way that Rocky works with the dogs he sits with. I think animal communities should be uplifting and supportive, not abusive or negative. Sitting on your lounge will never be the same as in an enclosed shelter room with an animal in a fear or aggression state. Also not all shelter workers use the same techniques because, as always, we are all individuals and we use techniques that work with our personalities, based on our own experience. Please support this community just by sending love.

[@MT53Jones]

A few years ago, I was a volunteer with a shelter and walking dogs and trying to help them get closer to humans. I had a cute pitbull that had known a difficult life and I was helping her by showing her not all humans are bad. I was very respectful of her space and signs she was showing. The next day I went again to walk her and she had been euthanasized because she reacted badly to a potential adopter and sadly all the efforts and trust she had shown was just dismissed because of an event that was probably preventable with someone respectful when they met her but no the lady had a young kid and loud kid while meeting her so she reacted to the stress cause she got too close to her and paid with her life. Thank you Rocky and I feel this sweetie will be ok . My heart broke on that day and I couldn't go back to volunteer.😭😢

I have a border collie service dog that's amazing. Initially they tried to get me to pick a different breed but when I met Bruster as a pup I knew he was my fit. I have no idea why border collies are shied away from as service dogs. He trained with lightening speed as if he was born to be a service furbug. I love him & he returns my love 200 fold. I also have a friend who has a border colie mix service dog that is incredible. To anyone who finds themselves needing a service dog - please consider a border collie. They learn so fast, are incredibly attentive, pick up on the most subtle signs, are amazingly loving and are just all around amazing. I was pushed to go with a golden retriever who are known for being amazing service dogs but please don't shy away from border collies. Be prepared to brush them a LOT but I've made a ritual of brushing him when I watch TV. I'm in a wheelchair now & he loves to run alongside me - the faster the more happy he is. My friend brings hers over & we let them go in my back yard where they run & play to near exhaustion.

They are well known for being among the smartest dog breeds, so it does make one wonder why they wouldn't be reccommended for a service dog. Maybe just because of the high level of excercise they need doesn't suit the lifestyle of many disabled people? But they are defiantely some of the most amazing dogs and likely can learn all of the tasks needed of them quickly.

[@annettemunroe2696]

Great name, didn’t really like Billy because of what happened with the goat ☹️

[@lightworker204ls]

Don’t judge until you know the story.

[@annettemunroe2696]

Meaning the farmer assumed it was this beautiful dog who was in the wrong, so I see the whole situation as negative. Only good thing, is now he will hopefully find a good home.

[@lovemusic1963ify]

@@annettemunroe2696 I thought it kind of odd to name him that. Love Onyx.

[@UndeadJohnGaming]

Him waking up and coming right over when you try to leave is so heartwarming.... he just wants company Also I feel like he was indeed just HERDING the goat not trying to hurt it. That guy must not realize....Unless...

[@hemalathaleeladhar80]

It’s heart breaking to see his sad fearful eyes😢😢😢😢😢😢thank you so much for rescuing him God bless you!!❤❤❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@andreakenney6066]

Billy you have beautiful eyes and are a very special boy. Rocky thank you for bringing out his adorable smile by giving him some love and your time.

[@cali524]

Thanks! Sure hope he’ll be ok!💕🙏 like the name Eli 😊

[@TIREDOFEVIL]

He just wants to be given a purpose, loved, held and cared for like any other companion, Rocky, the name you gave to him, Billy is perfect, from an Aussie lover.

[@Sherryyahoo]

I absolutely love that you and your wife do these lives together 🦋💕

Awe when his tongue flopped out it melted my heart! I really hope this boy gets his furever home asap!

[@susanbradleyskov9179]

From my experience with border collies and border collie mixes and goats, they tend to have dominance standoffs. One of those is intense! If he’s just a puppy, and got into a dominance stand off, they likely ‘attacked’ each other after a sudden move on one animal’s part. Most people never considered an attack goat. It’s a thing. 😏

[@beverlyweber171]

I've known people with goats. They can be really aggressive.

​My spouse's grandmother (his father's mother) died by being attacked by a Billy goat she was expecting we don't know much beyond that father in law died 23 yrs ago and was elderly and didn't talk about the loss ​@@beverlyweber171

Had a neighbor who received a broken leg from a "playful" goat !

Billy has the most beautiful panther colored eyes! It’s wonderful to see him go from fear to trust. Mel is such a special person, she has a great connection with these dogs. Billy did great getting groomed. I truly hope he finds his people soon. ❤️🐾

[@suebutterfield1820]

Mel is absolutely an angel on earth!! You all are!! I wish all people were as kind, loving, and compassionate as Rocky, Kelly, Alexis, Mel, and the team. I want to especially thank the shelter staff, who are rarely recognized, who makes it a mission to save these beautiful dogs!! Love to Billy!!! 🥰🐾🐾🥰🐾🐾🥰🐾🐾🥰🐾🐾

[@jdeck650]

I think it's smart to learn the DOG before you get information. The story can come later, but you build relationship with the DOG. You are a genius btw Rocky. ❤

[@joansantiago-183]

You are so caring and have a great voice to engage with this sad boy. Keep doing what you do! You are amazing and the best to help this sweet boy!❤

[@deborahsobel3314]

He is terrified. I hope you can figure this out for him.

loved the energy with mels bath with billy just looking into her eyes x

[@gloriatanksley3826]

Oh Rocky! This handsome boy looks like he could be the love of my life. I had a female that looks just like this guy. i think he would be the perfect boy for me. Please let me know what I would have to do to adopt him. Thank you for the good works that y'all do.

[@priscillamkoop5690]

I love Rocky's gentleness with the dogs. You are so very respectful of them. I appreciate the lack of eye contact until the dog is ready, turning your back (or side) to them, allowing them to move to the next level of closeness. The use of treats, and chatting away so they can get used to you. All of these matter. My dog's trainer also taught me to present leads, etc. to Kona before putting them on her. I now do that as a routine. Thanks for all you, Kelly and Alexis do for these dogs.

[@margaretarebhan4307]

The relaxed smile came after you told Billy, " it's not your fault You're just doing your job." ❤ He's a beautiful dog. You all did a great job with him. Blessings💟❣️

[@shonabrowne6324]

I like the approach of having no prior judgement before meeting the dog. Watch your vids on a regular basis now. Gratitude for all you do.

[@thanelewis8893]

@@shonabrowne6324 I try very hard to not listen to what other teachers say about students before they come into my classroom for this exact reason.

WE got you Billy...what a sweet boy! Thank you Mel for cleaning him up. I wish I lived closer...I would be there to get him in a heartbeat.

[@loh1129]

Thanks for helping with this beautiful boy. My husband always calls dogs he does not know "puppy", like "You're a good puppy". He says most dogs had a good time as a puppy and associate that with good times. I thought I'd share it with you because I have seen it work for him. I love the head compressions. I can't have a dog right now, so I do that to my son's dog and she loves it. Thanks Rocky and team, what you guys do is amazing!😘

[@rockykanaka]

I like that

[@seasmacfarlane6418]

He is no bad, aggressive dog. Whatever he's done, it was done without malice and without bad intent. That much is clear, and you can see he's scared and sad. There's a loving and beautiful Earth Angel in that little black fur coat. Someone will have a wonderful friend there someday.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ElijahsSpirit]

He has beautiful eyes, he's going to be a sweetheart !!!!

[@KerilynConrad]

Bless his heart! So happy for him that he’s been saved🎉🙌💪💗🐶

[@fayleen746]

If I wasn’t a apartment renter I’d scoop this guy up. 😢 I’ve been a viewer for a while and I didn’t truly understand what others on the channel meant when they said they knew the dog could be their dog. But with him I feel something special coming through the screen. It feels like seeing myself reflected back. Those expressive eyes, the stress/submission sleeping, the farm dog, the goat sibling, and his freckled paw reminds me of my first dog ever a female boarder collie who had freckled paws and legs. I can tell he is so smart, loving, and has a old anc wise soul. I know he’d get up to mischief and make me laugh with his intelligence and that he deserves a person who can let those roaming paws roam with long walks park days and a huge backyard. I’m sure several years from now when I am able to adopt I will still remember this handsome man. ❤

[@ValerieSwain-tc7ml]

I love your every word, Good Luck , I so love Billy specially too💚❣️(🐐🐕haha🎵🎶🎶Billy don’t be a hero 🎵🎶🎶)💜❣️🪽

[@sewterie]

BILLY! 🤣 I am sure the goat is fine. He was probably herding the goat in his puppy way, not having been taught the right way. You can tell he is not a vicious dog. He didn't try to "kill" the rubber chicken. Thanks for waht you do. It is so sad when you see a dog feeling that way. Glad he came around and got a bath to boot. Thanks Mel, Kelly, Alexa and eveyrone else there working to protect these puppers and kitties.

[@marywilliams-pk9xc]

You are incredibly compassionate and amazing and a heart full of love for these dogs. You show people a whole different side of the animal. Sometimes what is said about him is not always true. Sometimes people just want to get animal out of the way any way they can. Sometimes you are amazing. Bless you brother for helping God's Creation for speaking for them for showing people a whole different side of the situation and the dog. Thank you for finding them forever homes. God bless you always and forever. Please don't take any consideration of bad comments you have never done or said anything bad about the situations

[@Lala61669]

Poor little guy, I hope he finds a loving home soon. My heart melted when I saw Mel, she's the best!!! Thank you Rocky and team for all you guys do. I was so happy to see the pupdates on Pumpkin and Bonnie, they're so pretty dogs. A friend of mine bought Sundays for her dogs and she said it's the best!!!

Billy is just a baby boy who needs our help to find his forever family ❤ He’s such a good little actor too, maybe he needs a Hollywood agent someday Haha!

[@lorihentges6333]

Thank you for the insight on sitting in front of the dog, allowing him to relax. He is such a character! I love him. I am a nurse, for almost 28 years. He reminds me of my patients that "play possum" and pretend to sleep when they are too depressed or tense or agitated to engage. It's so common with distressed people. He is so obviously intelligent and needs that mental activity and challenge. Thank you also for the black Friday deal. I have been wanting to try for our rescue Min-Pin. Ordering!!❤

He is striking! Beautiful black coat.
