Because he shrinks in the back of his kennel any time someone comes up to him 😢 I hope this video changes that by showing his softer side.

[@cmfranklin1079]

German Shepherd person here. I can tell anyone who may be apprehensive about a GS, Wang is 100% ready to be adopted. The only reason to be wary about a GS in this environment is if he was defensive and growly when approached by humans. Rocky proves in this vid that isn't the case with Wang. He's just a bit depressed. As soon as Wang is in a home with his humans he will immediately attach to them, that depression will disappear and he will become the greatest dog you can imagine.

[@barblamphere6028]

I recently adopted a pup very similar to this guy. He was so scared and didn't really trust anyone, but I could tell he was a sweetheart. 6 months later and he is the best dog ever. He listens and is content with just being next to me. I love him so much. If you are hesitant to adopt a shy dog, don't be. After the ice is broken and they trust you, its the best thing ever!!

[@sydney.g.sloangammagee8181]

Oh you are in for a treat . . . every GS I have had, has done this . . . watch for it & enjoy the moment . , . Next winter, first freeze . . . a bucket of water outside with the top couple of inches frozen ice . . . freaks them out, skeptical, then curious, determined to figure it out, eventually get the ice off the top & on the ground - play with that frisbee of ice until it melts. For the rest of their life, they will love playing with the ice, but if you miss that first exposure to the experience, you've missed a precious moment of sheer entertainment!!!

[@gigelbecali8072]

Many people lack the patience to train a dog. In this day and age, when YT is full of positive reinforcement videos, if you allocate 15-30 min a day, you will see results in weeks. We adopted a lurcher, when he was 8 months old, but he was way too energetic. First few weeks were really hard. After 3 years, his only issue is reactivity to other dogs and small children. But it's just because he wants to play with everyone. He can make the difference of certain words in context. 🤯🤯🤯🤯 He is unbelievable.

@@lupeb6567they do love exercise, but heres the thing, its not the exercise. What they need is a job. I became disabled and can no longer do jogs, long hikes. Cant even toss the ball for very long. But my boy began the training to be a certified service dog…I can fall down a lot. I pulled him because he started to lose his spirit….but he remembers all of it. And takes it seriously. When we are walking, even in the forest off lead, he is on the job and so happy. Its important not to intimidate possible adopters with the lots of exercise thing. All living beings need exercise. For GSDs, its truer to say they need a job. So if that job is going on easy walks with you, making sure yoyre ok, your family is ok….praise them a lot for doing a good job. That’ll be a happy GSD.

He is the best dog now and loves his life. We are inseparable, he's my boy and I'm his boy. Most of these dogs just need a chance to shine. Give them a chance and watch them shine!

My wife and I adopted a 2yr old corso/maremma shepherd that spent over one and a half years in a shelter after being found in a trash bag on the side of the road. We knew it was going to be challenging. But when we saw her, we knew she was the one, despite all of that. After two years now, still no holidays with her, no crowded walks outside. But we still love her, and to help her out, we even got her an "emotional support dog." She probably never will be a dog capable of going outside like all the dogs do. But we don't care. What I mean is that, sometimes, it doesn't matter for how long a dog has been in a shelter, she/he just needs to find someone capable of loving her/him no matter what.

Great story! And it’s so true. Just like humans they just want to be loved and secure in life. They really ask for nothing but give back so much more. Nobody will ever be as loyal, protective, or loving as a dog. Especially from a shelter. They absolutely know you took them out of a miserable situation and spend their lives paying you back a debt they don’t owe. It’s nice to hear that you know she has been scarred through no fault of her own, and you accept her just as she is, loving her. Good people!

my GSD was in the Shelter for almost a year. It took me and him 2 years to get him out of his shell and to be his natural good boy. The Shelter made me promise to not take my Buddy back. I worked with him, And if a dog like this has been in a Shelter this long they will NEED time to get to trust you. That you will not give you back and abandon them like their previous owners and "renters" He looks like a good and gentle boy. He just needs to regain a humans trust that he will not be abandoned again to a cage. These dogs will mostly not accept a "Kennel train" They will have guarding issues with toys and treats. The worst thing you can do for this type of dog that has been in a kennel for this long is to break that trust and give them back again. Will they shed and make a mess, Yes. Wil it take a whole lot of training? Yes. Will they love you forever? Yes!!! Me and my Buddy are inseperable. He does get upset and has an attitude if i work more than 5 days a week or work long hours. He doesnt chew up anything. But he lets me know he isn't happy with me not spending time with him.

Guh.... right to the gut. He was dumped by a family who kept the other dog he was bonded with. No wonder this poor boy feels so lost and afraid. I just can't stand people for this reason. Who could do this to such a kind, docile dog... Wang, i hope and pray with everything in my soul that someone wonderful is going to adopt you. I wish i had room to adopt you myself. You deserve so much better than the life your first (un)human gave you and you didn't deserve to be dumped like trash, because you're an absolute treasure. Please please please someone with a big heart adopt this deserving, wonderful boy.

[@laurapotter-vx3pm]

Oh I can’t believe he’s been there so long. He is beautiful. If I lived close I would take him. Thanks for helping him.

[@rockykanaka]

I have my 🤞 that this will help him find his forever home

[@taylorkeane2295]

Same...

[@ZeldaZelda-RichesToRags]

It’s not that expensive to fly to you

[@ZeldaZelda-RichesToRags]

I’m interested in him but we have cats that are very calm RagDolls cats who are indoor only and never outside.. I have a few friends who are traveling up and down to your area and I’m sure they would be happy with transportation We’re in Boring/Barton Oregon and have several acres that are fenced

[@ZeldaZelda-RichesToRags]

Btw… we have a Chihuahua who is dominant but very loving… we lost our older Pitbull/yellow lab and they played for ever.. but he MUST be ok with cats because he might come inside our home when it’s too cold and raining… our house is huge…4,500 sq ft plus a 3 separate huge decking

[@ammoalamo6485]

My foundling German Shepherd Hannah Belle passed three years ago and due to my advancing age, and my total love for her all the years we were together I have not been interested in getting another dog. But the look on this dog's face speaks volumes to me. - \

[@margyeoman3564]

I can't imagine a purebred German Shepherd being in a shelter for a year!! Especially one of that quality.??

[@geetallygee5089]

Thanks Rocky, Kelly & all Angels for your continuous love supporting fur babies find homes again 🏡🐕 🖤🤎

[@thenightporter]

German Shepherds are the most loyal, protective and cuddliest. I have two. They are so loving!

[@one-of-us9939]

I hope he's found a home... I'm pretty sure he has!🤞👍

[@Kangaroocry1]

He is SO beautiful!!!

[@trinaloe2762]

This poor beautiful pup. No dog should be in a shelter for a year. This is a highly intelligent working dog who is clearly not getting the love nutrition exercise & mental stimulation he needs to thrive. I pray he finds his forever home & fast. Thank you Rocky for highlighting him. You can see the worry in his eyes. It's just so heartbreaking.

[@Joe_joe34]

Hello, how are you doing?

[@patriciagarrett5526]

I agree and German Shepherds are the sweetest dogs.

[@Woosaidthat]

You haven’t seen the shelters in the South have you? Dogs get 10 days to be claimed in High Kill shelters and can be in shelters for up to five years if in a no kill shelter. It’s heartbreaking

[@seechangenyc280]

Wang, you won my heart. May you win over another heart that can’t wait to play with you in their big, backyard and shower you with love.

[@nm4472]

Wang is a fine dog. He would make an excellent companion. Thank you, Rocky, for bringing out his good.

[@bobzboo]

I raised German Shepherd’s for 20+ years. They’re the best. Please find him a forever home. He will be so happy and the family will never regret it. I rescue little dogs now because I don’t have my farm anymore and have a very small home. They don’t need a huge area but they do need to be able to exercise and have a romp. Gosh! What a beautiful baby! 🤗~Becka

[@lisaclay3137]

I just adopted my 3rd shelter dog, who was also very large. He had been there almost a year. No one wanted to adopt him. 💔 I adopted him to give him a chance. He is the Best dog. Glad it was me who adopted him. 😊

[@laurat1129]

Thanks for visiting SGV. So many Shepherds (and Huskies) in the shelters, esp. around LA. Shame on breeders for this! This boy looks scared and stressed but shy and sweet. The GSDs I've known have been big goofballs (YMMV). And I can totally picture him sitting in his person's spot on the sofa or snoozing on his back w/legs in the air. Thanks to SGV for keeping him 365 days(!), but a year is too long. Wang is beautiful. 💕🐾🦮🧧☮️

[@MrMalawk]

I love this 4-legged man!!! He's beautiful 😍

[@bowiekt]

I have to tell you and all your followers, your message of affirmation isSO IMPORTANT. We have 3 little breed senior dogs. One passed after 4 months of heart problems as much as we thought we were on top of it with vet visits and meds. Our remaining two have been dealing with grief, never knew this kind of pet care. Then, our life went sideways and suddenly they are so distraught. I took your affirmation approach to our feedings, pee pee parties and sitting in the evening, even adding a third walk, adding along that they are such good girls, loved, good job, etc and it’s amazing how they step faster, smile more, love more, sleep better. My husband will be away for a week starting tomorrow, I really hope I can make the difference even with my own heart aches of the loss of my dog and struggles with family and life❤ thank you for helping my sweet girls who do not deserve more pain but only love and admiration

[@billrosner9396]

My heart breaks for Wang. Pets are not disposable!

[@geetallygee5089]

❤

[@pward8723]

I never thought about MASSAGING their head. I would scratch ears. My labs LOVE LOVE the head massage I learned from u!!

[@TracyMomof2]

It's also a bit Shepard behavior, least the ones I know. They often are a little more standoffish with strangers. But they are wonderful, loving, loyal family pets.

[@shesaknitter]

My cat loves those head massages, too. I also learned to do them (more than I was doing them before) from Rocky!

[@privateperson4842]

They love a hip massage, too.. & top of nose.. bottom jaw. Of course chest & tummy scratches😍

[@audreyrose_1979]

Any kind of dog loves a head massage (as long as they know you)... My aspin loves a head massage.

[@stephanie6831]

If you are gonna get an animal . Think long term. I couldn’t imagine my baby being put somewhere like this . He is a beautiful dog

[@beverleymeyer7899]

OMG, he is beautiful and after you being with him, anyone can see what a fantastic boy he is. Thank you for all you do.

[@justinroe9271]

4 years old is perfect German Shepherd age. I am rooting for this guy. Wish I could take him.

[@svcleaves]

Thanks!

[@julibea2455]

❤❤❤

[@Woosaidthat]

Thank YOU!!! That’s very generous of you

[@edwinrodeo]

Super supportive 💕🙏

[@FunFactFreaks]

You know what we be great to see? Those dogs that have been adopted by owners who did it through seeing your channel could send you follow up videos of the dogs.. I would love to see the progress they have made!

[@piepeeya4604]

For this shelter, they take pictures with adoptions and usually post it on the web site.

[@RobynKemp-th8xr]

Congratulations on his adoption!😊

[@laurapotter-vx3pm]

Thanks! Hope this helps toward him getting a home!

[@mileysong1117]

The shelter environment would not show the true personality....he is a good boy !! Beautiful dog and smart !!❤

[@mercedesfonte7476]

He is so sweet. I hope he finds someone soon. Someone who deserves to have him.❤

[@philpicton716]

He is gorgeous bless him. I’m so amazed that he has been there so long but hopefully with your help he will find his forever home 🤗

[@pamelaoziah-goss916]

Oh, and we have 4 German Shepherds and they are so smart, so trainable and most of all LOVING

[@WilliamsPinch]

That’s a handful! Wish your fam and your pups long life together.

[@debramalmos]

Sending love for Wang - a YEAR breaks my heart. Thank you for helping him.

[@piepeeya4604]

They had a big dog there for over 3 years. But it is a no kill shelter, And he finally got adopted.

[@ivan-Croatian]

Thank you!! ❣

[@sherryhable]

Beautiful dog ❤ I miss my German shepherd they are so smart.

[@marksmale827]

Heartbreaking to see an unloved animal like this.

[@elsiestormont1366]

Thanks for helping Wang!

[@user-no8ol4rl4w]

Come on folks that's a beautiful dog, 365 days 😮in a shelter is too much, 365 days 😮 in a cage, please adopt this treasure

[@gustaaf1892]

He is a truly handsome Shepherd. How is it possible that such a Magnificent sweet boy hasn't been adopted after more then a year? If I was looking for a dog and lived nearby I'd adopt him in a minute. He deserves to have the best home and family. Surely this video will have applicants lining up to give this beautiful soul a loving forever home.

[@susanmcconnell6041]

I had German Shepherds growing up, and currently have two adopteds. Trooper was 8 months old when I adopted him, and he's now 11-1/2. Ellie was 18 months when I adopted her, and she is 9-1/2. WONDERFUL FAMILY MEMBERS!!! They traveled with me, when I was a professional 18 wheel truck driver, and have traveled 2 million miles in a big truck. They still go with me everywhere, and we now have 2 additional adopteds added to our pack.

[@jonsnell4751]

The nicest and most rewarding dog I rescued was a German Shepherd. Absolutely loyal and a perfect friend.

[@AmericanPatriot-1776]

The man with the magic touch. Dogs give back so much when treated with love and respect, that's all they want.

[@lazymp9046]

He is BEAUTIFUL....and a good, good boy. I hope this attracts a wonderful person who is destined to be his person. Some lucky human out there will be getting a wonderful friend. People need to remember to take some time when approaching and considering dogs in shelters. Your videos provide really great tips for HOW to evaluate a pup in a shelter...which is not always obvious to everyone, especially 1st time dog owners. ❤❤❤

[@Mia19836]

He’s stunning with sad eyes. It would be great to know how he has settled in his forever home.

[@Clawdee-Yah.HuskyNordlichter]

I always have tears in my eyes when you say to all the wonderful dogs "I'm sorry, its not your fault..I'll find a good home for you " ❤. What a beautiful German shepherd ❤

[@user-pr1ow2le4g]

The Asher House needs to get this beautiful boy out of this shelter ! A year is WAY too long !!!!

[@user-cs2wk5yr6h]

You know that Lee would rescue this boy in a heartbeat the Asher house does so many great things for animals I hope but if he doesn't get any hits from this that y'all contact the Asher house please 🙏🙏🙏💯

[@rpierce7004]

I agree but I really hope he gets to go home with someone. He’s got so many good years left.

[@missihendershot2335]

Asher house would be perfect for him. I hope he sees this.

[@TammyM36]

Asher house is great but a real home is the best case scenario without question

[@cgctorrag]

Amazing work. He'll be snapped up now that you've brought his plight to light. ty!

[@MaryAnderson-xs5wd]

Thank you. He is a beautiful dog. Love him, and he will always love and watch over you. God Bless!

[@OhioSally]

What a beautiful protection dog. Anyone living alone would have a hero in this German Shepherd .

[@clarasmom9440]

Or a companion. Spare us the dog as security agent, please.

[@dlflin3492]

I wish The Asher House group would see this dog and rescue him out of this non-life . 365 days without hope is heartbreaking.

[@laurachynoweth5186]

I forwarded this video to the Asher house asking for Wang to be rescued Please!

[@tonib.3016]

He was adopted! Scroll up...he was adopted...yayyyy!!!!

[@loisisaacson2040]

He makes me cry for his sadness😢……I cannot imagine the abuse this sweet boy endured. Our Male GSD is 11 years old and we cherish every moment with him. He is devoted, happy, and very loving🐕.

[@MickyPeers]

I adopted one like that many years ago. He was just depressed. They are so intelligent they just need company and stimulation. He was an amazing dog

[@natasha-anne2957]

Thank you Rocky and the team for looking after these gorgeous dogs.

[@JohnDavis-ed5sg]

How do you not take every dog home? Dogs are so wonderful, Gods best work.

[@johnjackman7622]

Thank you for brining eyes to these dogs it makes such a difference, you are a Saint in my book.
