Years ago a dog showed up on our porch & wouldn’t leave. She was itchy and had no fur on her back half. We gave her a bath in Head & Shoulders because we weren’t going to keep her and didn’t want to invest in dog shampoo. She had no more skin problems. She was so sweet and we had her for 10 years.

[@suburbanbanshee]

Head and Shoulders (the original formula) includes zinc in it, and it's very similar to diaper cream in that way. So it's great for skin problems, and cleaning out skin gunk.

[@michelea6757]

[@cherrystoltz1557]

[@slc1161]

Head and shoulders has an anti fungal medication, pyrithione zinc. It actually is prescribed for people for certain skin conditions as well. I just had a breakout of some funky plaques that are itchy and red. I’ve been using Head & Shoulders as a skin shampoo and leaving it on for 5 minutes twice daily. It is helping quite a bit.

If a human is neglected their entire lives, without any knowledge about what real love is, then they grow older and usually trust the worse of people. I know first hand, I was neglected growing up and now I used to trust almost anyone, until I got a boyfriend. I thought i was the luckiest person in the world and i was blind to his pressuring nature, because i thought it was a normal way to show love for one another.

One of the most heartbreaking experiences I've had as a shelter volunteer was with this lovely ginger cat who sadly had cancer in their ear and neck that was too advanced to treat. The staff told me that their goal was just to make their last few days of life as comfortable as possible before we had to say goodbye. They were covered in open sores and blood, and overall their condition made for a very very gross situation, so a lot of people weren't keen on touching/patting them. I spent my entire shift with them, patting, snuggling and giving them lil scratches. By the end of it I was covered in gunk and blood, some even got splattered on my face when they would shake their head, and I understand why many didn't want to deal with that. But "gross" animals need affection too, our own comforts be damned.

This is the second time I've watched this one. I'm severely disabled and I've just recently had to rehome my little rat terrier Meli. She looked just like this baby girl. We adopted her to help with my severe PTSD & anxiety, but she was so fearful, neglected & abused, I was mainly helping her. It took me 3 years to rehabilitate her enough to become a happy dog who was comfortable with other people. She never did learn to be happy outside, but she is VERY happy in her new home with a family who loves & understands her. It broke my heart to rehome her, but she is so happy! A recent health decline made it virtually impossible for me to care for my baby girl. Her name was MELI, which means HONEY in Greek! She was from a hoarding situation where the owners never neutered, trained or house trained their dogs. She had virtually NO hair & had flea & tape worm issues that were unreal! PLEASE, PLEASE encourage folks who can't care for their dogs to use the REHOMING app that many overly-full kennels recommend.

[@providencevalleyfarm5270]

MELI's entire litter of 6 other puppies were like this, NO hair, covered with sores, it was heartbreaking. It was even worse watching the entire litter hide under the chairs in the greeting room & pee on themselves from fear. It is worth it taking home a baby like this.

​@@pallaveesingh6748you are right. Although, in colloquial conversation, I use the phrase, "it's crazy", but if I am speaking about a medical condition I use "mental health". I can absolutely see how it can be offensive. 😢

[@greenleif]

​@@pallaveesingh6748 🚩If someone uses a word innocuously, no one should feel personally targeted by it nor be bothered enough to spend the time to breathe life into such a non-issue. Especially when that word has multiple definitions, several of which are not even loosely related your complaint. Life is wild enough. We don't need to go digging for perceived offensiveness or reasons to feign Victimhood status. Everyone has their own cross to bear, our own adversities & struggles. If a _word_ is the biggest, most troublesome issue of the day for you, then Thank God for such a peaceful day. God Bless You & Yours 🤗💞🙏🏻🕊️✨

[@Panthia_Poe]

Oh, Rocky! 🥹 I think you're amazing for these dogs. She reminds me of how sweet my Whiskeys (yes, with a "s") was when he first came to us 9 years ago. He had no name, no toys, didn’t know how to play, and was only used for breeding. He was fearful, with a tail between the legs, but yet a very brave little boy, open to us, loving, and he trusted us. These stories help make my day, and I always have a smile on my face. I feel so much love for Ashley and happy you do, too! ❤🐾

Rocky, just a quick message to show how far you reach into peoples hearts. I'm in a ton of resin art groups and recently I was watching a tutorial and the lady I was watching spoke of you and how much she admired you. It blew me away with the depth of admiration she was voicing. I can see how far reaching your channel truly is and I have to admit it makes my heart sing with joy. Thank you, Kelly, Alexis, Mel and everyone else that steps up and steps in to give so much of your hearts and souls to these fur babies.

I have been adopting rescue dogs for about 10 years. My latest, Crumpet, is a chihuahua/Maltese mix who came from the streets of San Jose, CA. She was 12 when I adopted her, and she was very wary. It took a few days before she would come out of her crate. But she is precious! She sleeps on my bed most of the time, loves walks, and likes expensive dog food 😊 which I am happy to provide. She has quirks,she doesn’t know how to kiss but her little tongue comes out after loves from me☺️ I’ve had this sweet dog for over a year now. I love her so much!

[@christinehowell]

I've volunteered with rescues for many years and fostered many dogs, and it's always hard not to feel dispirited when you see so many sad cases. One of the things I've always told myself is that I can't save every dog, but I can save one and every dog I foster helped save 2 dogs ... the dog I foster and the space that creates for another dog to come into the rescue. Ashley is so adorable, I'm not surprised you fell in love with her.

Dogs can get to your heart quicker than anything. My daughter's pet pigs both died in 2020 and now we ventured to get a tiny Jack Russell mix from the shelter in February. I hadn't had a dog in decades and we are in love with her, so loyal, spirited and sweet. I had forgotten how a little warm, intelligent, trusting being can grab your heart. Shelter dogs are great.

[@dianarosario2695]

Although I am not a dog, I was abused physically and mentally for years. So your positive affirmations go straight to my heart when you say it wasn't my fault and that it's going to get better.. When you say I never deserved what happened to me etc. Just wanted you to know that. I love your heart.

Hi Rocky, this is the second video of yours that I watched. I just left my 13-year narcissistic husband a few days ago. So, I kinda know what those abandoned dogs go through.
