In life, we have the occasional reason to say, "You read my mind." But, dear lady... THIS time I must say, "You read my heart."💗 And I am undoubtedly not the only one. And so, in your limited time spent on the Internet, from my heart... I thank you for choosing to visit Rocky's (& Kelly's💗🥰💗) heart-warming KZbin channel. As you have found with this visit (& I'm hopeful there will be many more)... your time here truly is & will always be very well spent.💗

​​I read that when dogs stretch like that, it's because they're happy to see you!!!

[@barbthompson2374]

Hi from Blair, Nebraska. We’ve rescued several American Akitas, and we think we see Akita in Pumpkin. When he came out of the kennel to greet Kelly, he looked just like Hachiko, one of the most famous of the breed. No matter his pedigree, he is so deserving of love and the chance to be his best self. Thank you for all you do for these puppers.

[@ange1mom438]

I think he is Akita as well. Whatever his dna results he is a handsome fella and will be a valued family pet once he’s ready.

[@Mallakangie]

I came here to say the same. Looks like an Akita to me too!!!❤

[@melaniegreen1311]

I thought the same the body type and his eyes make me think of an Akita.

[@robinholbrook6576]

Yup! I believe Akita, too! I had one and Pumpkin has so many of the same features: head shape; smile; fluffy tail; puff up when excited to present as larger dog.

[@christinebuckingham8369]

I thought Pumpkin has Akita or Jindo dog in him. Hope he comes fully out his shell and finds the perfect for him, loving and patient forever home. 🙏❤️‍🩹🐕❤️‍🩹🍀🍀🍀🙏🍀🍀🍀

[@KarlaElaine100]

Pumpkin is beautiful! So good to see him relaxed, enjoying being petted and taking treats! He’s definitely making progress.

[@tfox285]

He needed Flip’s Farm. I am so happy you can do this.

[@KaTkAt212]

He is absolutely craving love and affection....he does not know how to respond to it yet. Clearly, someone or more than one person stood over him and abused him. He is definitely exactly where he needs to be to live his best life. It was meant to be. Great job Rocky, and all!!!

I saw Dingoe as well in Pumpkin

[@susanlogan1007]

Agree. I thought he had a Dingo look as well. Would be a bit weird if he did have Dingo but would also explain his skittishness, fear of noises, sudden moves etc. if he did. I guess we'll see

[@JudyChartrand-uv6oi]

It was sad. It broke my heart into pieces

[@dawncarrasco8274]

@@nikkic67 yes 👍 I see some dingo in him. We have a female American dingo Aka Carolina dog. Someone brought a litter of six puppies to the humane society and we thought that we were getting a yellow lab or a golden retriever up until her ears started to stand up and her body started maturing. We have a full blood dingo and we’re 99 percent sure of it. Great dog with some unique traits

Oh my God he is just so damn cute😊😊😊 I can't wait to see his happy ending, but I'm also going to be sad to see him go!

[@obgfoster]

I had a reddish cocker foster from a puppy mill who wouldn't leave his crate for a week except to go potty. I fed him in the crate, then moved the bowl further and further out, then picked him up one day and put him in the knee hole of my desk. For a week or two he ran back and forth between those two safe spaces depending on where I was. Then I introduced him to a crate in my bedroom, so he had 3 safe spaces. I fostered him for 5 months, and by that time he was happy everywhere in my apartment, slept with me in my bed and with my dog on the sofa where she napped, and overcame many of his fears (except the garbage dumpster - maybe his old place used to put dead dogs in one?). I found him a quiet home with an experienced owner. These special ones are very loving once they feel safe. Worth all the work.

Pumpkin is so adorable. We had a Rottweiler that had been abused and was very leary about men, especially men with hats. My husband took a lot of time with him, trying to show him that all men aren't bad and slowly introducing hats. It took time, but finally, he relaxed.

[@carriehunt9741]

We adopted a miniature poodle who had been really abused and left to die. She was so adorable, but seeing a broom, or even one of my husband’s golf clubs, sent her in terror. From the moment we got her she lived like a little princess. My husband and I both said that we wished we could have five minutes alone with the ones who hurt her! BTW, I’m a peaceful person, but who could hurt someone so small? I’ll never understand. I’m so delighted that Pumpkin is having this chance for a wonderful life! ❤❤❤
