[@adoravino5098]

I love your Chanel n your dogs

[@Ajdog889]

No but yes bc you get to see dogs. No because it sad that dogs have no owners.

[@imrovina1533]

Hi

[@Dimiraxa]

I love your videos, who doesn't?

[@Anna_Stetik]

In September of 2022, for the first time ever, I adopted a dog from the local shelter. He is a 2 year old Border Collie. I'm telling you people, shelter dogs are some of the most grateful dogs, ever! This dog is so affectionate, he listens to everything I say because he's so happy to have a home. If you want a dog, I'm telling you, go to the shelter. There's a dog there for you, and you will be greatly rewarded!

[@rosegann8339]

So happy for you and your fur baby! Hope yall have alot of happy years ahead!!

[@Shezrie]

I got my 3 year old border collie from a shelter just 4 months ago and I feel like I struck gold ever since. He is the sweetest, gentlest angel and perfect for me. We bonded instantly. His last owner had locked him in a yard and starved him. I thought the dog would have trauma and prepared to deal with a dog with issues, having adopted from shelters before, but he is now a normal, happy and friendly dog.

[@rorycarroll7593]

After I retired from Law Enforcement I became an Animal Welfare Officer for a few years and it was heartbreaking so many times. A few investigations that were hard to deal with sometimes. The cruelty that people are capable of. Thank you for showing what Animal Control Officers do because so many people have a lot of misconceptions about them. It’s a great job I’d still be doing it if I hadn’t had stroke.

[@SaltNBattery]

Yeah, I couldn't do it man.. The number of animals that I've personally euthanized, just being a Vet Tech for 5 years.. Like being the one to place the catheter, draw up the Fatal Plus and tell them "it's okay" while literally killing them. It stays with you, it breaks you down mentally and emotionally. Especially the kittens & puppies. All of them were either very old or very sick/injured. Multiply that by 100 and that's what's going on in LA shelters right now. Not just sick, or old or aggressive animals. They're euthanizing healthy, young dogs, even puppies. It's really bad right now. Idk how these people do it.

[@sherIfpawz]

in every movie i’ve ever watched, they portray animal control officers as horrible people. when really they’re just helping society, i’d love to be a animal control officer when i’m older. thanks for helping the animals, and glad to see you post a full video again!

[@feralidiot]

yeah, it makes me sad when movies portray all animal control officers as terrible people, also, hello fellow therian :)

[@nervous_pup]

Right! Oh, and i'm a therian too!

[@sherIfpawz]

@@nervous_pup hi my fellow therian!

[@sherIfpawz]

[@AstralArbourSystem]

oh my goodness what's with all the therians here (i guess we would flock to cute animal videos huh lol)

[@teceyS3]

I absolutely LOVED seeing both dogs and cats get rescued 🐶😻🐶😻🐶😻🐶😻❣️❣️❣️❣️ Animals are people, too❣️❣️❣️

[@katmartinez7379]

As an 11 year old that has been taking care of dogs when I was 5,seeing you help dogs(or/and cats) get adopted and helping them find a home has made me smile, and motivated to help dogs(and cats) even more.

[@katmartinez7379]

Also I love your channel, you have work hard to help dogs and cats find a lovely home, taking dogs on a dogs day out, and more so thank you for helping dogs and cats you and the people that have help animals has been doing a great job(also thank you for helping cats I love dogs and cats!!)

[@Nicana68]

What a sweetheart you are. Helping animals is the one of the most rewarding and beautiful things to do in life.

[@jannabailey6800]

Good for you young man. You are articulate for your ague.

[@Jamiesayla]

Thanks Rocky. I work as a vet tech in an municipal animal shelter and I love your messages. Our ACOs love animals as well as our kennel attendants, vet staff and volunteers. We work everyday to save animals and will continue to do so until we are obsolete (we pray for that day). But until it comes we appreciate every adopter, volunteer, rescue group and feral cat trapper we work with. They are truly the unsung heroes of my world.

[@rockykanaka]

Thank you Jamie 🙏 Appreciate everything you do and thank you for your kind comment.

[@lukengreer8820]

So do you care for more than just cats and dogs also thank you for your great repect to the socity and we need more people like you thank you soo much

[@SaltNBattery]

I feel like I keep writing the same comment but idk how you did it.. The number of animals that I've personally euthanized, just being a Vet Tech for 5 years.. Like being the one to place the catheter, draw up the Fatal Plus and tell them "it's okay" while literally killing them. It stays with you, it breaks you down mentally and emotionally.

[@wendynordstrom3487]

I tip my hat to people who work with animals. They are amazing! I would love to work with them, but I'm afraid I would either be in constant tears and/or want to bring them all home with me. I love the doggies! Thank you for all that you're doing to help!

[@j-dided]

That’s because you have a heart!

[@eringemini7091]

Thats understandable. I felt the same way until I became a Vet Assistant. The happy, funny & fulfilling days definitely balance out the difficult times.😊👍If I were you, I would give it a try, especially if you love animals. 😸

[@berenicehickey9755]

I did and I was in tears a lot and wanted to take many home. This is not a selfless way of caring for them though. Instead of caring about them when they have already been rescued,be happy when they get a great home!

[@Lisa25219]

So glad these animals got adopted! Love you Rocky!

[@rockykanaka]

Thank you Lisa!!

[@marieennis6114]

I love your attitude as a dog rescuer you don't judge the people or what happened to the dog's life. You just move forward and try to do something good for the animal. That's what should really count thank you.

[@pamelaj.miller5115]

I'm glad to see you featuring a cat (Luna) just for the record... THANKS, Rocky !!! Love your channel !!! 😻❤🐾

[@tclark7802]

I was an animal control officer 25 yrs ago when I was a much younger age. It was my dream job. I truly loved being able to speak up for the rights of animals & do something legally about it. I really miss that job. It's was a hard thankless job, but I loved it because it was for the animals. 🐾💖🐾

[@PKEY-TV]

@@tclark7802 is an animal control vehicle and an animal ambulance are the same ?

[@Deb711]

Your amazing, All the things you do for animals are unexplainably amazing, we need more people like you!

[@KathySwampQueen]

Praise the Animal Control officers.....I could never become one bc ...1: I'm too old to go to prison...2: Abusers ...I just couldn't control myself!...even though a life sentence ain't that long for me 😆 Our AC office...to put it as nice as possible....not that great....sad but we have some great rescue groups that step up 😊

[@kimberly4987]

One more thing...Rocky I just want you to know that your efforts to help animals and spread awareness and tips is working. I recently found a dog and found a home for her...and incredible home...shout out to Millie...when I met the new family and turned over the dog...Millie said we are off to have our first Puppachino together. You can imagine how that warmed my heart and added extra tears of joy knowing in my heart that I helped Millie and this beautiful dog find each other. I know that they will both have a wonderful life together. The connection of Rocky's channel between two people that didn't know each other yesterday was comforting. Thank you Rocky and Millie for the extra special love and care.

[@ashleyv999]

Thank you Rocky for sharing about the kitties! I love Luna 🥹 She is so adorable. I'm glad that during this video some of the dogs got adopted and Luna found a home.

[@twjckzz]

im so glad foxy got adopted, she looks absolutely gorgeous and she deserved a loving family

You make a really helpful animal control officer, Rocky! And some of the animals you met getting adopted? The best parts of this video! 😄

[@izzycharon1650]

I love these types of videos it amazes me how much people care for animals so keep it up Rocky

[@carolinaboyproductions3769]

I can agree with what you said about chihuahuas being nice and protective of their owner, I have one and I got to say he is very sweet and kind but on high alert when he senses something wrong, he has been with me and my mom for every step of the way.THANK YOU ROCKY

[@blackraptordk]

Thank you for all the good things you do for all the animals! Please keep up the awesome work! Makes me so happy to see people help all the animals that need it and actually care about all these wonderful dogs, cats, etc!

[@mikaelacash3791]

That cute cat house that Luna was hiding in? I have that exact same house, except it's for my rabbit because my sister's cat didn't like it 😂 Just a funny observation. This is such great work you do! Thank you for being a friend to animals.

[@MICHELLENAILHAIRTECH]

I love her name so much it suits her im so glad you been helping all these beautiful dogs & cutest puppies a home thank you so much im been watching your videos every day but the sad stories that they have? It hurts your hurt but they will get through it with new families that will play with them love them feed them exercise them ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I love you so much Foxy your so cute

[@ZofuYT]

It warms my heart to see these animals getting adopted. Dogs are truly very special and they are so cute and innocent. It hurts whenever someone abandons a dog. Dogs and even Cats too! They all should be treated equally as if they were human. They are so special and unique and this is why I love Dogs and Cats so much! ❤

[@polarberri]

Loved this video. So informative and it does so much good for the world. What amazing animal control officers. Thank you for all you do!

I just adopted a beautiful bulldog baby like that gorgeous boy with the cropped ears. I couldn't love him more. He is 5 1/2, and such a lover.

[@davegoodridge8352]

Oh Man you did it again. I was feeling down until, then I watched this video. Thank you! I remember volunteering in shelters, it was tough.

[@rockykanaka]

Appreciate you!

[@m6666]

Absolutely! I too spent a couple of years volunteering in my local shelter, I worked with the cats that were waiting for owners to claim them after getting lost/abandoned, and watching them hide away from all the noise and goings on was very stressful on them. I was always talking to them and trying to reassure them that everything would be okay. But it does get you down sometimes when nobody even enquires about them.

[@shata2624]

Your videos bring me Joy and warms my heart your content is the best!

[@moab002]

i currently work for my city’s Animal Control and it’s a very fun job but very stressful and sad, but i love working with dogs and people

Former ACO here. Yup, we had Bison on the loose, a Orkin man finding a 6 foot Alligator under a house, the Great Pig Roundup, and of course the Vicious Pit Bulls (99% of the time, a puppy or nuisance dog).

[@FireCracker3240]

This is amazing! I'm so happy to see your new series, Rocky! I've always thought that Animal Control Officers have such a unique and rewarding job. Sad, and heartbreaking, but also hopeful. They're often thought of as mean taskmasters, but you can see clearly that this is not always the case. I can't wait for more content like this, Rocky!

[@rockykanaka]

Thank you! Very excited about highlighting these awesome ACO's that work so hard with so much heart.

This is amazing rocky when I was young I always wanted to be an animal control officer they work hard with animals thanks for sharing

[@laurat1129]

Oftentimes, when we call for help, no one comes. This leads to "Learned Helplessness" or hopelessness, as I prefer to call it. (The term comes from animals in cages, I believe, and this is why some of us empathize w/shelter pets). If it's not dogs vs cats, then it's accusations of caring more about animals than people.🙄 For same reasons, I went for large dogs b/c I felt they needed me more. What I've learned from my own experience is that unless it's a case of abuse or neglect, sometimes animals end up in shelters because esp. nowadays people are struggling, too. Thank you, Rocky and AC officers, for doing what you do no matter what the dogs do or others say! Thank you also for also enforcing laws for everyone's betterment and quality of life. 💕🐶🍀☮️😉

[@ritarabaa8338]

Thank you so much Rocky and all the rescue and Animal control for all the amazing work you do and for saving lives every day ❤God bless 🙏 thank you Friends of the Valley

[@soo4334]

Your love & positivity is contagious! Could you do a video that partically focuses on how to tell if your dog is underweight or overweight? It can be confusing, especially when we're so used to seeing overweight older dogs.

[@jd-iw2et]

Such beautiful souls. Thank you 💕💕💕💕

[@karentony3397]

I could not do this job. These are amazing people. After 15years of a vet nurse I had a breakdown, so I can only imagine how emotional this job must be? ❤️🐶❤️🐶❤️

[@heidininoderivera1179]

I'm so glad you did this and that you shared it with us, praying people will understand how exhausting it is for those that do their best to save the lives of those that some people think don't matter and that animal control officers , shelter staff etc are not the bad guys.

[@joycaroldavidson]

Rocky, My son and I foster scared little dogs for Big Bones Canine Rescue in Windsor, Colorado. We just got our 24th foster adopted last night. Anyhow, you commented about not knowing rescues pull from shelters. We have fostered dogs from CA, OK, and TX that BBCR pulled from shelters and transported to CO. I even had a foster that came in from CA with Mexican vet paperwork so that little guy had quite the journey.

[@energiesrising333]

Studies show that interactions with animals have helped the elderly, rehabilitate prisoners, medical patients, those with brain damage or mental conditions. The list goes on. They show up when you need them. They know when you are sad. Cats will even lay on a person where they hurt or feel ill. Unfortunately there are some humans that dont deserve the honor of having an animal in their lives. However there are many good people out there. This video is proof of both. 😊thank you for the inspiration and all yhe help ,love and time you give to these amazing fur babies😊

I dont know if its the pinch nerves but i cant even watch animal movie's without getting extremely emotional and crying my eyes out... i believe there are good loving animal ppl but there are so many more cruel ppl its just heartbreaking. I wish ppl would learn to love the way shelter, rescue, and foster cats and dogs love unconditionally...

I used to have 3 dogs all of them 3 different generations they all died but I have a cat now. You always miss them when the die but, you get used to it. However with every animal that passes on there are many animals that need homes after that. Life keeps on moving and many animals need new lifestyles to move into. Everyone’s tolerance for how many pets they want to own and then see die is different but, I try think of it that way. And that’s how I made my little kitty friend!

I am very worried about the fallout of “people” adopting animals during Covid who are now abandoning them! It makes me sad and sick! I know this video is 3 months old but I adopted a dog that nobody would accept over a year ago now because she is very vocal and untrusting of people and other animals. My nickname for her is “sweet and sour” because when she doesn’t know you she is very sour but when she gets to know you she is very sweet! That’s her in my profile pic lol Also I randomly found her 3 weeks after my other rescue dog passed away… RIP Kiki

It takes a special and strong kind of person to withstand the horrors of animal cruelty and neglect, and I know I don't have that ability to compartmentalise the pain and anger one must feel when you're legally prohibited from doing the right thing and helping an animal in need or crisis. Every animal control officer is a saint for the abuse they receive from hostile owners, too.

3:37 This is so untrue and a harmful philosophy used by 'carers' of disabled children in '70s and '80s UK. Thankfully we know the power of human contact and moments of kindness. I suspect it's more about how the carers will feel if they "get too attached "
