[@deirdreshaw2761]

She doesn't seem malnourished or abused, just unwanted. No point in chasing down the "good Samaritan" when the resources are needed for real abuse and neglect cases. It's not illegal to not want a dog, and they kinda did the right thing by the drop off. She'll find a great forever home. She's young, and pretty, and sweet. If I weren't 3000 miles away, I'd adopt her. I adore GSDs!!

[@rikwilder8838]

The problem with pursuing someone who ditched their dog is that you could make people afraid to take the unwanted dog to a shelter. The scary alternative is that they could abandon them in a place where they wouldn't be cared for, or worse, destroy them.

[@cynthiawoods883]

Yes! It’s true! But if people offered fostering and others to fund it and rescues had time to network more people might just be willing to hold off dumping them to keep them until there was a better answer!

Patty looks like my first rescue dog Cash. We figured she was a Golden Shepard. She was 1 1/2 yrs old when we adopted her. Cash was so malnourished and sick that they didn’t spay her before we brought her home. 3 weeks later when we went to have her spayed found out she was pregnant with 4 puppies. We presumed whoever had her before us knew and didn’t want to take care of her. She was such a great girl, perfect for us as first time dog owners. She was 13 when she passed. If I lived in California I would adopt Patty! She’s beautiful. 🐕💜

If we start penalizing people for dropping off dogs they might do something worse. Penalize those who abuse, not those who drop off or surrender dogs. We can seldom know the whole story. Rocky is an angel on earth❤

[@ludovica8221]

Right, back in the day I often took dogs who were loose in the street and in danger from traffic down to the police station so their owners stood a chance of locating them. The police would relocate them to a shelter and the paperwork trail was good for anyone trying to find their strayed dog, most of whom most likely found a hole in the fence or jumped over a gate when the owner was not around. You have to get out of this thing of being judgmental of people taking pets to the shelter or of losing their pet, If I had thought people would think that *I* was cruel to get the dog in a shelter I would have thought twice about getting involved and those dogs would probably have been run over. The boot was on the other foot when my own highly intelligent mutt worked out that she could open the front door of the house and vanished. How glad was I that someone like myself took her to the police station and I got her back from the shelter in 24 hours. Shelters are good, safe temporary places for dogs, a whole lot safer than the highway for sure

[@cindygottlieb6304]

This was a rough one for me. Those sad eyes, broke my heart

[@janeew]

There are situations where you can't take care of an animal. My son almost died after a heart operation and as a result he could not come home to his cat....cat litter poised a serious health concern. He gave up his cat to a local shelter and was shamed and harassed as a result (even though it was the responsible thing to do). A couple of years later he was in the position to adopt a shelter dog and it has worked out beautifully. People can't always fix the problem ... but their concern still matters.

[@VaryaEQ]

100%. There's so many reasons why someone might have to given up a pet. It's hard to imagine, especially when we're told they dropped her and ran. But there's numerous reasons why that could have been, even down to it being too hard to say good bye, or being scared of the perceived backlash of surrendering a pet.

[@juliatarrel1674]

It was definitely the right thing to do. If family and friends are unable (for any reason) to adopt the cat, a shelter or rescue is the correct option. Although when we needed to surrender an animal, we spoke to the vet first. We wanted her to ensure the guinea pig was healthy: as it happened, her niece was eager to have one! Perfect and lucky timing.

[@y_fam_goeglyd]

She's a very well-behaved dog, especially considering the circumstances. She's afraid but isn't showing any anger (who could blame any dog for being that?). I think she's been in a loving home, her condition is so much better than many that come in. Maybe her owner lost their job or home? It's too easy to accuse people who are acting out of desperation but who are too embarrassed and upset to tell the truth. Let's not judge - were she in a bad condition, terrified of people to the point of cowering and crying, I would think differently, but she's absolutely known love.

[@cynthiawoods883]

Non sense! Stop Impowering abuse! Call it what it is! In order to change things people need to face truth! This dog is traumatized! They are deeply upset after being rejected and abandonment! This could be avoided if they reached out and received help! If the community steps up to care with a foster home saves a donkey g so much trauma! Not to mention their lives! So many are killed! It’s a Holocaust! Silent bc people dump and run! People like that should never have the freedom to have another animal! And we must change laws to ensure renters are able to have their whole family!

[@wakefulwitch]

I can see that she was from a home too. My German shepherd is very much like this when I'm not around. Barely eats , wants treats, or plays because they miss their owner so much. Also highly aware because they're waiting to see them again. I hope this baby opens up to a new life with love and doesn't remember the abandonment.

Thank you for being you and doing what you do. I would take them all home. I don't understand people who do anything but love these babies. One of my rescues had the same sad eyes. She's beautiful!! She's not a stray. She is too good of a condition. 🙏❤️🐾❤️🌊

She is such a sweet tender precious little girl.

On January 7th 2023 I've adopted a girl similar to this young lady. She was 7 months old that time. Found in the field - no chip, no name, no home. Abandoned, lonely, scared. We cannot see into minds of these dogs, what they have been through. But as humans we can help them. Good luck to this young pup to find a loving family and Rocky - YOU ARE THE BEST :) Greetings from Czech Republic

She is so beautiful and very intelligent. You can tell by how you can see her actively listening as you’re talking. I pray she finds a wonderful loving owner who truly values her for the AMAZING DOG she is.🙏❤️

Who could abandon such a lovely dog. Her eyes show intelligence and good potential for training. She’s gorgeous. Good luck my girl. ❤

Judgment aside for the way she was cruelly betrayed, she's beautiful and young enough to regain her trust in humans again. My figers are crossed for her happy ever after and i'll keep checking out her updates when they're posted.

Many dog owners are struggling to feed themselves and surrender their beloved pets out of desperation. I knew of Seniors actually eating cat food in order to survive. Sad. I lost my dog last April 17TH, boy was he struggling to hang on, couldn't walk and was losing control of his bowels and bladder, I still shed tears over his loss.

Seniors have been known to eat cat food to "survive" for decades...or so the stories go. A can of tuna or chicken would be a lot smarter.

Thank you again, your videos warm my heart. I do hope that Patty found a home. Stay safe and keep well.

What a beautiful dog she is. Feeling abandoned. Awaiting her person to return. So sad. I hope she finds just the right family and can learn to trust humans again.

She looks almost identical to a dog I had years ago, Nikki.... She acts like my Nikki, too. We had adopted her from a shelter in Denver. She was extremely intelligent and one of the best dogs anyone could ever have. It looks like Patty will be, too. I hope Patty gets a great home with lots of love and fun.

She is a lovely sweet pup. How could someone NOT want her???

Rocky thank u & your team sooo much for all your videos! You're more than enough with "just" sitting with those pups, helping them to get adopted and creating healthy dog meals ! ! !👍👍👍🎖 Today I tried this defensive approach with a friend's dog, they adopted a few days ago. As a rescue with a sad backstory he's anxious & easy to upset by almost every external stimulus. Long story short: After a couple minutes we went from barking to tiny sniffles of interest to an intense snuggle mode. 😍😍This little guy took my heart by storm 😍😍 Unfortunately, my living situation right now offers no space for a dog. Though I'd love to adopt one. So, meeting Duke, really made my day & my friends instantly hired me as their dogsitter☺ Keeping my fingers crossed for Patty! 🤞She's awesome, a true beauty and has a curious nature. No question, she'll find a loving home!
