Hi Rocky! Love Katie’s spirit ❤🐶❤ And you are one of the greatest humans ever too! Good Rocky! So, on a separate note, would “rough” be a good description, instead of “her skin is so bad”? (Katie clearly understands you are there to help her and love her. I’m thinking about other dogs who have different psychological challenges that make them sensitive to the “bad” word)

[@sajwilswilson2186]

Hi. I’m in the UK and we adopted a Belgian Shepherd who was a stray. She was very possibly the most affectionate, balanced dog we ever had. Unfortunately, she was also the most unwell her entire life. The shelter thought she was three years but turned out she was much younger. Crazily she suffered TMJ like myself. We lost her to cancer after six years and she left a huge chasm in my heart. I will never forget the day we adopted Xena. The staff brought her out to us and she reacted as though we were her people come to take her home! She hooked a paw around my husband’s leg and pressed her face into his knees. It was like saying “get me the heck out of here.” Definitely not a good place as we had no home check and she came out with kennel cough. It was just hand over your money and take her. We headed straight to the vet and got her sorted. It was the first time I’ve ever seen a dog sneeze green snot!!! Please, please, never overlook shelter dogs. They deserve all the kindness and love we can give.

The dog we’re caring for has PTSD-like bad dreams. Not from prior abuse or neglect of any kind but due to separation anxiety from her now divorced owners whose circumstances don’t allow either of them to keep her yet. She wakes up in great distress. By calmly saying, “It’s just a bad dream”, I’ve had some success helping her to recognize more quickly after a bad dream that she is safe.

[@rylinhansen9019]

I think she's not as interested in the toys right now because she wants those pettin's right now. She's a love sponge right now! All those pettin's and the positive affirmations - that's what she's going to be focused on until she internalizes that she is fully loved and loveable. Once she feels fully secure, that's when she'll be much more playful. I adopted a dog like her once - he was just so needy, for a long time! Then he got really relaxed and happy.

I am reminded of my little girl cat; we found each other on the street. She was starved and desperate. I made an appointment with the vet for the following morning, but that night she didn't eat or drink. She wanted to. She was desperate ..and would chew a bit but couldn't swallow. Water wouldn't even go down. The following morning x rays revealed her insides were blocked by all the guck she had ingested on the street in an effort to survive. They hooked her up to an IV for nutrients and hydration and kept her for a week. She eventually was able to pass it all due to the hydration, but it took about 6 months for her insides to heal. This is something you really have to watch for in animals who have been trying to survive on the street. She is still with me after 6 years. She is a beautiful, dainty, extremely affectionate and healthy girl and a good sister to the other cat I had when she was found.

I got him in my car and he smelled so bad my car stunk for a week. I took him to a no kill shelter, thought about it and went back for him - but he had already been adopted by someone in their management, who had had the same type of dog who died of cancer the year before. His new owner had a big yard and lived on a lake. He got my contact info and sent me nice letter with photos and thanked me for helping “Prince” find his way to his new home. Still makes me feel happy to think about it.

I rescued a 1 year old lab/greyhound mix who lived in a 3x3 cage the first year of her life with no attention. I had to teach her everything...literally EVERYTHING. She didn't know what a toy was and didn't know how to play either. She never learned but loved her toys. She would just carry them around and sleep with them, almost treating them like her puppies. It was very sweet. She turned out to be the most loyal, loving, and sweet dog ever. She passed away about 4 years ago from natural causes. I miss her every single day. I have her ashes and the first toy I ever gave her next to my bed. When I pass away, her ashes will be mixed with mine so we can be together forever. Love my Tallulah.

Animals bring out the love and compassion we've forgotten because we know they're teaching us what we definitely need to learn. What is truly considered, unconditional love.... ☺️....❤️ 😁

My husband and I adopted a Red tick Coonhound from a rescue group. She had been adopted and returned. Apparently they dragged her out of her crate, when they took the crate away, she hid under a table and they dragged her out from under that. They returned her because of that and not being house broken. She was scared of men, especially those over 6' with glasses. My husband is 6"4 with glasses. With a lot of patience and love he became her favorite person. She got to go on hikes, get cuddles and love, she knew she was loved and no one would hurt her ever again.

[@LadyDrosselmeyer]

Yes to all of this but let's go one step further and get her a furever home.

[@sarahdee374]

@@LadyDrosselmeyer yes, I wish a short update video could be tagged onto the original. Just a couple minutes saying when and general people who adopted her, maybe a month after the original video. It's really hard to see and care for these beauties and then never really know the outcome.

[@user-uj1ix8zl6j]

When I first saw her I thought I’d name her Katy!

[@cynthiawoods883]

Or mia

[@cynthiawoods883]

Wow! He named her Katie! So cute!

[@Nannaz51]

When the scoop occurred I lost it. She wants love and you showed it to her. Hard to watch through my tears. You are the best.

[@amberblack9587]

I want her! But I’m sure she’s already has so many lovely humans request to bring her home! I hope she has a perfect life from here on out!

[@misspixie774]

Towards Katie's ongoing care. She's such a lovely girl! Sadly, I'm in the UK so can't give her a home.

I adopted a broken dog. Mabel isn't broken anymore. She was also young, and s stray found dumpster diving. She doesn't need to get into garbage anymore, and she doesn't try. It's been 4 months and Mabel is still adjusting, but the biggest hurdles are over. Mabel trusts her Mommy and Daddy, and she LOVES her yard. Loves toys. She's the queen of her castle now. I'd love to have Katie too. She's beautiful.

[@marcwolf60]

Three of my beautiful sheps have been rescued.. and the other two 'inherited' from family who could no longer care for them. It's so wonderful to watch them come from a frightened scared creature and blossum into a happy out-going.. and importantly Loved individual.

[@Tootsie1957]

It's apparent, this baby girl, doggy, has never had or been shown any love. Did anybody see, when Rocky did "the scoop" that her nose and head went up in the air? Just slightly, & both of her eyes closed, as if she was feeling like, "OMG. Nobody has ever touched me like that." That poor animal. Whoever left her the condition she's in, should go to jail. There should be a special jail for humans who abuse animals.

[@msruby68]

I don't think I've ever seen a dog want you to pet/scratch her more than this one. I've never wanted a dog to get washed as bad as this dog. Hope she has continued healing.

[@sugardonut2296]

I wish I can adopt her so bad… I got 2 cats and not in a good environment for her .. I really hope the person who adopts her treats her like the princess that she is 💖

What a little love bug, I loved her instantly. This why dogs are better than people. She's been through so much and still wants to give and receive love. I would take her in a minute if she were in Massachusetts.

[@KAMMD]

Ever think God should have quit while He was ahead ??

[@CeciledeLuire]

how do you wanna know that lots of people aren't just very similar to this dog...? Love these videos, but also i often think that many people show more love and patience for dogs than for people.

[@sherizuech6562]

I would take her too but I'm in Utah!

[@jewellkelley2983]

Katie is so sweet, I hate that she has went through so much in her young life, she looks like she has some collie in her, I had a female when I was a lot younger, and she had 9 puppies, they are just lover's. Thank you for what you do!! Sooo many animals in shelters , rescues, and a lot has to do with puppy mills?? Sooo Bad.

[@sueandpatrick]

I hear you! I'm in CT and I'd love to take her too!

[@MarisolNuckols]

I can't stop crying... but animals don't deserve to be abandoned an abused. She is so beautiful. I pray for her finding a forever home.

[@Mercy_Chanter]

She remind me of my Angel, looks so much like her. When I got her she was just a puppy, but a very scared one. She use to hide under the couch. I gave her time to get use to us and when she did she turned out to be a very loving and very protective family member. She slept with me on my bed and she loved to lean her back against mine when she slept. She lived 15 years until she got skin cancer all over her body and had to put her to sleep. She was my son's first dog. We both miss her so much. She was raised with lots of love, many hugs and countless kisses. She had a good life. Thank you so much for your love and patients with those special fur babies. I hope they all find a loving home. ❤

[@marli8907]

Omg. She just needs someone to love her. I feel so bad for her. I just wanna love her! From the second you tried to give her that treat, I'm like "oh! She wants some love! She just wants to be loved!"

[@user-uj1ix8zl6j]

[@mcmewsen]

If i wasnt so late to this party, I'd drive all the way from Michigan just to adopt her. We already have a Dutch Shepherd mix rescue with skin problems so we're experienced in handling it. And he's a sweetie, i bet they'd get along great. That's okay, i can see she will have no shortage of people who want her. As long as she gets a good home!

[@norarivkis2513]

Please apply to whatever she needs to get well and find the right home. She's such a special girl and she's going to be somebody's best friend.

I really wish I could adopt her. I really do, but my dog doesn't like other dogs. And I don't think I live anywhere near your shelter. She is a sweetheart, and needs a good home ❤

[@katies.3193]

Hey my name is Katie too! My rescue girl turned out to be a 6 month old pup. She had been left in a field, she was wet cold scared and covered in ticks. 3 years later she still loves pets and cuddles more than our other two dogs. We are so bonded. ❤ Good luck Katie girl, your salon treatment made you look gorgeous 😍

[@clairefoulkes8776]

Hi from the UK. Rocky, I really enjoy your videos. Katie looks as if she has a lot of border collie in her. She's bright, trainable, loves people and slightly nervous. She will make a wonderful companion to an active family with a lot going on to channel her intelligence.

[@ember1794]

She's so gentle and pretty, she wanted to be cuddled right from the start

[@JohnDoe-ki6fm]

She wants you to love her... and what you are doing is great, but sometimes your videos just break my heart and I just really can't watch the pain and sadness anymore, Rocky. Thank you for being such a great guy and doing so much for these poor dogs.

I got a dog from the pound 28 years ago. That pet, Jake-dog was the best dog ever. He was my best friend. He never forgot the abuse in the 13 years I had him. All I did was feed, play, and love him and he was the best animal in the world. Kate reminds me so much of Jake-dog. Rescue a dog and you will find forever best friend

[@alisonmccracken-mills5381]

Bawling like a donkey!! So much reminds me of dogs I've known. (I always get a 'catch' in my chest when I think of it!) I bet Katie feels much better after her spa treatment. I hope someone really special adopts her. With all my heart I wish this. Thank you a thousand times for all you and your team do for these lovely, kind, deserving animals.
