Rocky, I so wish I could be there too!! I wish there was some way that there was compromise, so that you could do out of state adoptions …four years ago I lost my little tea cup yorkie, and I’m still heartbroken..my husband and I are in our 60’s, so ready to love again , I’d love to adopt from your organization, but live many miles away !

I am 84 years old and I live in Orem Utah. I used to have a toy poodle, but he died when he was 20 years old. It was the same time that I had a heart attack. I have been looking to save a rescue dog that is small and very very old, because I don’t want to get a dog and then die in the poor dog is on his own again

I adopted a Boston Terrier from a puppy mill. He had never been out of a cage in his 2 years of life. He was a basket case, he knew nothing of the world except humans are not good. It took 6 months of gently working with him before he responded. I then rescued another Boston, a little female. When I brought her home they played together and then he jumped up on the couch and licked my face…for the first time! As if to say thank you human. He still has some fears but he’s a loving boy once he gets to know you. Now, I’ve recently adopted another rescue, a Yorkie-Poo that is scared when he meets new folks, but it doesn’t take long for him to warm up to them. The more we socialize him, the better he gets. Love them all. Thanks for all you do for these lovely creatures.

I have a 15 year old Yorki that I have had since he was a puppy. He is my baby. I can’t imagine ever leaving him anywhere or having him going through this kind of trauma. It just breaks my heart.

[@jill7759]

It’s horrible. Yorkies are just meant to be with someone, their person. They suffer when they don’t have it and are blissfully happy when they do. Hearts of a lion, they will train their owners quite happily if permitted but they are the best pets. They shed very little, even people with allergies can often tolerate a Yorkie. They are clever, and a lot less fragile than they look.

I lost my Jack Russel (George) of 17 years on June 7th I found your channel that very same day. Today I dropped off all his old toys, beds, coats, leads, poo bags and food. I also picked up his ashes. The shelter was so kind and gave me the option to sit with dogs for a couple hours, and I have left the shelter with a German Shepard called Sasha, She's only 1 but is very well trained (her old owner passed away suddenly and no one in the puppy's family could look after Sasha) but was just as scared as the first pup in this video. But I sat with her for almost 2 hours, and she just came out of her shell. I want to say thank you for doing all this amazing work with the dogs in shelters. Having now sat with dogs I now even more than before have appreciated all the work you do for these dogs, Thanks for also being my destress after work each day. EDIT: i want to say that i appreciate the kind words from everybody, It has helped me have a smile. When i woke up this morning i saw two things one Sasha sitting outside my room looking sad, i gave her some pets and love she cheered up loads, then i walked into the kitchen she had done a poo in her water bowl. I laughed so hard it was the funniest thing in a while, I know know she might need to go more than my 17yo. But everything is a learning curve. Once again thank you for the kind words!

I brought her home a little over a year ago and she is really starting to warm up to me, it takes time and patience. Last week she crawled into my lap for the first time! Do take a chance on these needy creatures. You could be adopting the best pet ever!

I went to our local shelter to adopt the oldest one to go with my 13 year old they did not get along and mine ended up passing away 3 weeks after moving into a new place but they had carpet so I'm not sure if that carpet being so old affected something but my 13 year old cat went to heaven so I went to get the nails trimmed and ended up asking them for the other oldest one so that one is a girl a girl and she is Diva and bossy and will not let the other male adopted be peaceful so the little challenge their I'm hoping in time but right now it's like fight kind of body language growls and going up to each other like I'm hoping they'll never break loose into a wild fight wild fight wild fight and they do have to be separated when I leave❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@gloriajean2226]

It’s the nature of a terrier to create an “underground” place to feel less vulnerable. It may take lots of patience and time to bring this little one into trusting. He’s not showing signs of aggression but of fear, and the terrier mind often goes to “the best defense is a quick offense.” My rescue Yorkie is teaching me a lot. Each month that goes by has him feeling more and more confident. I hope this one finds the right home.

[@gilleygurl]

I don't think people really understand what a fearful dog is all about. I have a dog like this, had him from puppy and he is still fearful. People will ask me what happened to him and I just say it's part of his personality. He's great with me but always fearful of strangers. Once he gets to know you he's fine, it just takes awhile. My dog could never be adopted on his own, but he's not going anywhere. I love him just the way he is.

[@tropicalsun07]

I have a girl like yours too. Fearful and timid. I am her comfort and she never leaves me, and I won’t leave her either. Right now, I am recovering from hip surgery. She can’t sleep with me for two weeks. But she still never left my side. She had been staying right next to me on the couch all day while I sleep on the recliner chair.

[@Curiouscatnap]

They are not fearful from birth? It means you haven’t socialised them properly 🤦‍♀️

[@tropicalsun07]

@@Curiouscatnap we adopted ours when she was 6 months old. She had other dogs and she was the only puppy in the family. Her owner was a high school girl. She got her from her bf back then. She carried her around with her. Not sure how the actual family life was. Her grade went down, they broke up, and the father told her that she needs to concentrate on her school work. So she was giving her away. She was crying a lot and she texted us here and there how puppy is doing for a while. The puppy, now she is 7 years old, but she gets scared of things, such as noise, people, other dogs easily. She was not isolated when she came to us. So it’s not that she was not socialized by us. She is friendly. She never does fear bites. She will come to you if you visit us but very low to the ground with tail wagging.

We have a cat like this too. People like to judge or "know better". But i always was good with animals (and kids🙄) Whenever i visited a (school) friend or family and they had a pet and were like "he/she doesn't like strangers" - the pet always came to me. I could pet them, cats liked my hands... it's awesome. Our cats choosed us too. We didn't went out and said "we want his one" we let the cats decide.

People are not honest about giving up the pups because they are shamed even if they are doing the only thing they can. I have been shamed trying to get medical help for my dogs even though I feed them instead of myself regularly. I get dog food instead of people food and cry because I can’t get them vet care. I was working and had a great life when I got them. Never knew my life would crash and burn.

I love your approach! I have a x4 yr. old rescue CAIRN who lived her short life in a cage w/ her Sister. My pup was used exclusively for breeding. When she came into "heat" a male dog was thrown in the cage for breeding purposes. She is fearful of everything including me. I have been her pet parent for x3 yrs. Progress is VERY SLOW! It took a year for her to come out of the crate I gave her. Year two she made up her mind to move to the couch for her safe space. Now, in year three, she has a dog bed & sleeps in my bedroom. The dog bed in the corner is now her safe space which she stays in all day & night. She runs / moves away whenever I approach her even when I crouch & reach out my hand. I'm NOT sure where to go next but you are giving me some ideas THANKS TO YOU!

They are not in shock thank God! I adopted a puppy mill survivor who was 4 and was very abused. He came to me in shock and was a lot of work. He then lived with me for the next 15 years and was never normal but he was loved and loved his life! He laid next to me in bed every night and was so happy and not normal but loved for who he was. I think he may have reached 20 before he died but he fought so hard to stay here. I stayed with him until he passed and talked to him throughout his transition and it was a lot of work but well worth it.

As a rescue yorkie owner his behaviour seems very typical - they are so sensitive and need to bond with their special human - they seem to mix fight and flight together- they have a lot of guarding, ratting (hunting) and protecting behaviour, so when they are afraid they don’t know what to do (they are very clever high functioning working dogs) needing enrichment and training to stimulate- but win one round and you have a dedicated partner for life - my girl is too attached to me so I adopted another ex breeder(imperial shih tzu- totally different non working dog breed, would happily be a lap dog) from rescue who was terrified (I adopted her because she was terrified and I knew I could help her , the breed was irrelevant ), for them to bond together; its working and they are both doing well and are very happy teaching each other to chill

My chiweenie will not allow a stranger to touch her. If I hold her, you can pull her ears, hug her head, scratch her scritches. Reaching in the car to pet her is dangerous, for you and her. She is not protecting the car, or me. She is confined, and don’t want a stranger touching her. I absolutely HATE when I ask people not to reach in the open window, because my dog might bite them, and they tell me “animals love me” and do it anyway. She has never actually bitten anyone, but the threat is upsetting to her, to me, to the fool who wouldn’t listen to me. I pet every critter I come across, with owner and critter permission.

Grew up with a Scottish Cairn Terrier, his parents were working dogs used for digging out fox holes, always ready to fight the fox or a shadow, super confident. Very intelligent and very unforgiving...his drive to dig, hunt, bite, kill was so strong, and not confined to foxes😬... ONLY ONE person could handle, kiss & hug him.... a Downs Syndrome child, he just melted for her...the bond between them would make a rock cry. He was a very 'proud' dog, unbelievable as it is, he allowed that child to hold, lift, to dress him up, comb his hair and tie a bonnet onto him - not a murmur - his 'love' for her glowed from his eyes 💘💝❤💞💕, Got to respect a working dog, especially one in an Easter bonnet.

Hi. Cute little terriers. I hope they find wonderful homes. I have dealt with many ferals over about 30 yrs from age 5 until my present age of 68. I have dealt with dogs, cats, other wildlife, injured creatures, I learned how to deal with them from personal experience owing guidelines from TV to experienced pet owners to vets I met with my own pets. I admire you and the work you do. Plan to spread word and your videos as I hope to join and encourage others to do also. Approaching the pups the way you do and did reminds me of my techniques with ferals. Time and patience works wonders. Even a little of each goes a long way.😊

The smaller the dog the more anxious they can be. Imagine being so small and everything looking so big.

My dog was a stray. My daughter found her and brought her home. 8 years later she is thriving and sweet ❤

My heart hurts for these baby’s! I am in Michigan, and would love to help one of these baby’s. I had a Yorker for 15 years. He was spoiled rotten. “Jake”. Loved to take walks, he would take my husband for walks twice a day. He would tell us when the Pizza delivery guy would turn the corner onto our road. I would love to share my love for this sweet baby! Just to far away! I should be getting my Cool Beans shirt and my coffee any day now.

[@ltyrell405]

That magical moment when he takes the treat is so amazing, so heartwarming that he made that decision!

The person who bought these 5 dogs to the shelter, is their Owner. 😠 If a stranger tried to pick them up they would have gone crazy from fear...

[@dmariewalker6880]

I believe that is true

[@maluhianow3722]

My top theory is that they were the children of the recently deceased owner.

[@dianedeck9790]

@@maluhianow3722 I figured they were probably used for breeding and when they started getting too old they got rid of them.

[@marciabenson9371]

Rocky, my dog always has a horrible time every 4th of July with all the fireworks going off. But this year I used your “sitting with dogs” technique and it was amazing how well that went! When the fireworks started I started gradually feeding her tiny bits of cheese, that she loves. After a while she was so focused on when she was going to get that next tiny bite of cheese that it was like the fireworks were not even happening! Even later in the night when neighbors started their own fireworks, she didn’t freak out!

[@gigi3242]

cute little puppers, sad they're so scared, glad the shelter called you

[@angelique7618]

[@petervanwyngaard4788]

So good to see your post come up , Rocky. Always lifts my heart ....to see a dog discovering love and acceptance....or even a human( like me)

[@ceceliaholler6423]

I rescued a shut down Rottie 4 yrs ago. It took 3 months for him to approach me. Now we are so bonded, so close. He was fear aggrwssive towards all other dogs. Now he can make friends, but each time he meets another dog, it takes rwal time for him to be with the other. So worth all the time it has taken to see him change and have a better life

[@janhuckabee9610]

We appreciate you and everything you, Kelly, Alexis , and all the shelter staff do for these dogs 💖💖💖

"I'm not crying, your crying".. Rocky you suck for posting this.. I had to leave behind two beautiful Yorkies in my divorce two years ago and have held it together until this video. I work 10 hour days or I would have adapted a puppy already. My prayers go out to these little boogers and hope they will find their forever homes ASAP. Thanks for all you do..

« Fear is a reaction but true bravery is a choice »

[@mc2307]

Fear is genetic correction!!! And brave it's also genetic...!!

[@Jon_from_LI]

I'm not sure if genetics has anything to do with it. The way I see it, it is more likely that this little dog was subjected to some harsh abuse by former owners. Maybe he came from a hording/breeding situation and was locked in a cage most of his life.

[@korrilis]

@@mc2307 I was just quoting a song 😉

[@sandijohnson2216]

Wow - as soon as he started saying the positive affirmations, the dog could read/understand and started to trust him! ❤❤❤❤

[@victoriafairfield3508]

This was wonderful to watch…..it really shows why there is so much hope for dogs who are extremely shut down and scared….and how it can manifest into aggression. This community is always behind you Rocky and why I was really happy to donate towards the Sinatra funding drive..and why I’m about to go order me some more Flip’s coffee …. It really is the best coffee I’ve had in a long time. Thank you for everything that you do to save these dogs. ❤❤❤

[@Karen-kc8om]

Love makes the world go round. I don’t understand anybody that would hurt an any animal child or baby. I just think you’re a little dog whisperer you do such a fantastic job. I hope you do well and selling your coffee. I might try some one day. I’ve got one of those new pots that push all the air out after you’ve taken the coffee, they’re brilliant thing to have the place to get them. They push all the air out so it’s like freshly opening the packet every time God bless you for your work.❤
