Rocky, I so wish I could be there too!! I wish there was some way that there was compromise, so that you could do out of state adoptions …four years ago I lost my little tea cup yorkie, and I’m still heartbroken..my husband and I are in our 60’s, so ready to love again , I’d love to adopt from your organization, but live many miles away ! Would you guys consider? Just curious! What a doll he is ! 🩵

I am 84 years old and I live in Orem Utah. I used to have a toy poodle, but he died when he was 20 years old. It was the same time that I had a heart attack. I have been looking to save a rescue dog that is small and very very old, because I don’t want to get a dog and then die in the poor dog is on his own again

I lost my Jack Russel (George) of 17 years on June 7th I found your channel that very same day. Today I dropped off all his old toys, beds, coats, leads, poo bags and food. I also picked up his ashes. The shelter was so kind and gave me the option to sit with dogs for a couple hours, and I have left the shelter with a German Shepard called Sasha, She's only 1 but is very well trained (her old owner passed away suddenly and no one in the puppy's family could look after Sasha) but was just as scared as the first pup in this video. But I sat with her for almost 2 hours, and she just came out of her shell. I want to say thank you for doing all this amazing work with the dogs in shelters. Having now sat with dogs I now even more than before have appreciated all the work you do for these dogs, Thanks for also being my destress after work each day. EDIT: i want to say that i appreciate the kind words from everybody, It has helped me have a smile. When i woke up this morning i saw two things one Sasha sitting outside my room looking sad, i gave her some pets and love she cheered up loads, then i walked into the kitchen she had done a poo in her water bowl. I laughed so hard it was the funniest thing in a while, I know know she might need to go more than my 17yo. But everything is a learning curve. Once again thank you for the kind words!

I adopted a Boston Terrier from a puppy mill. He had never been out of a cage in his 2 years of life. He was a basket case, he knew nothing of the world except humans are not good. It took 6 months of gently working with him before he responded. I then rescued another Boston, a little female. When I brought her home they played together and then he jumped up on the couch and licked my face…for the first time! As if to say thank you human. He still has some fears but he’s a loving boy once he gets to know you. Now, I’ve recently adopted another rescue, a Yorkie-Poo that is scared when he meets new folks, but it doesn’t take long for him to warm up to them. The more we socialize him, the better he gets. Love them all. Thanks for all you do for these lovely creatures.

I adopted a cat who came from a hoarding situation of about 90 mostly black cats. My sweet girl had been a resident of my local shelter for 6 months, she was extremely shy and shut down. I brought her home a little over a year ago and she is really starting to warm up to me, it takes time and patience. Last week she crawled into my lap for the first time! Do take a chance on these needy creatures. You could be adopting the best pet ever!

I went to our local shelter to adopt the oldest one to go with my 13 year old they did not get along and mine ended up passing away 3 weeks after moving into a new place but they had carpet so I'm not sure if that carpet being so old affected something but my 13 year old cat went to heaven so I went to get the nails trimmed and ended up asking them for the other oldest one so that one is a girl a girl and she is Diva and bossy and will not let the other male adopted be peaceful so the little challenge their I'm hoping in time but right now it's like fight kind of body language growls and going up to each other like I'm hoping they'll never break loose into a wild fight wild fight wild fight and they do have to be separated when I leave❤❤❤❤❤❤

They are not in shock thank God! I adopted a puppy mill survivor who was 4 and was very abused. He came to me in shock and was a lot of work. He then lived with me for the next 15 years and was never normal but he was loved and loved his life! He laid next to me in bed every night and was so happy and not normal but loved for who he was. I think he may have reached 20 before he died but he fought so hard to stay here. I stayed with him until he passed and talked to him throughout his transition and it was a lot of work but well worth it.

Rocky, today I had a real breakthrough with my pet bird Petie while watching this show. She has been with me for two years or more. She has been very friendly with me but would not let me pet her. Today, she put her little head down and did not pull away when I pet her. For sure, she is going to go down in my journal as one of her most noteworthy moments of our time together. 🎉😊🎉

Hang in there, hopefully more breakthroughs coming for you & your bird. Our “Treasure” took a long time to warm up to us. Our neighbor watched Treasure for less than a week & came back with his wonderful Italian/Trinidad accent & new words like hellodare but the little bird would not go near him also took about two years.

Hi. Cute little terriers. I hope they find wonderful homes. I have dealt with many ferals over about 30 yrs from age 5 until my present age of 68. I have dealt with dogs, cats, other wildlife, injured creatures, I learned how to deal with them from personal experience owing guidelines from TV to experienced pet owners to vets I met with my own pets. I admire you and the work you do. Plan to spread word and your videos as I hope to join and encourage others to do also. Approaching the pups the way you do and did reminds me of my techniques with ferals. Time and patience works wonders. Even a little of each goes a long way.😊

My daughter adopted a Yorkie mix three years ago in a very similar state. He nipped her several times and growled every time anyone approached him. Over several weeks he decompressed and only nipped after giving a lot of warning. Today he still growls like he is going to tear you apart, but he only licks. I don’t understand what the growl means to him because he even growls when he is happy to see you.

I don't think people really understand what a fearful dog is all about. I have a dog like this, had him from puppy and he is still fearful. People will ask me what happened to him and I just say it's part of his personality. He's great with me but always fearful of strangers. Once he gets to know you he's fine, it just takes awhile. My dog could never be adopted on his own, but he's not going anywhere. I love him just the way he is.

[@tropicalsun07]

I have a girl like yours too. Fearful and timid. I am her comfort and she never leaves me, and I won’t leave her either. Right now, I am recovering from hip surgery. She can’t sleep with me for two weeks. But she still never left my side. She had been staying right next to me on the couch all day while I sleep on the recliner chair.

[@Curiouscatnap]

They are not fearful from birth? It means you haven’t socialised them properly 🤦‍♀️

[@tropicalsun07]

@@Curiouscatnap we adopted ours when she was 6 months old. She had other dogs and she was the only puppy in the family. Her owner was a high school girl. She got her from her bf back then. She carried her around with her. Not sure how the actual family life was. Her grade went down, they broke up, and the father told her that she needs to concentrate on her school work. So she was giving her away. She was crying a lot and she texted us here and there how puppy is doing for a while. The puppy, now she is 7 years old, but she gets scared of things, such as noise, people, other dogs easily. She was not isolated when she came to us. So it’s not that she was not socialized by us. She is friendly. She never does fear bites. She will come to you if you visit us but very low to the ground with tail wagging.

[@TheOriginalSebacrush]

We have a cat like this too. People like to judge or "know better". But i always was good with animals (and kids🙄) Whenever i visited a (school) friend or family and they had a pet and were like "he/she doesn't like strangers" - the pet always came to me. I could pet them, cats liked my hands... it's awesome. Our cats choosed us too. We didn't went out and said "we want his one" we let the cats decide.

My chiweenie will not allow a stranger to touch her. If I hold her, you can pull her ears, hug her head, scratch her scritches. Reaching in the car to pet her is dangerous, for you and her. She is not protecting the car, or me. She is confined, and don’t want a stranger touching her. I absolutely HATE when I ask people not to reach in the open window, because my dog might bite them, and they tell me “animals love me” and do it anyway. She has never actually bitten anyone, but the threat is upsetting to her, to me, to the fool who wouldn’t listen to me. I pet every critter I come across, with owner and critter permission.

As a rescue yorkie owner his behaviour seems very typical - they are so sensitive and need to bond with their special human - they seem to mix fight and flight together- they have a lot of guarding, ratting (hunting) and protecting behaviour, so when they are afraid they don’t know what to do (they are very clever high functioning working dogs) needing enrichment and training to stimulate- but win one round and you have a dedicated partner for life - my girl is too attached to me so I adopted another ex breeder(imperial shih tzu- totally different non working dog breed, would happily be a lap dog) from rescue who was terrified (I adopted her because she was terrified and I knew I could help her , the breed was irrelevant ), for them to bond together; its working and they are both doing well and are very happy teaching each other to chill

Grew up with a Scottish Cairn Terrier, his parents were working dogs used for digging out fox holes, always ready to fight the fox or a shadow, super confident. Very intelligent and very unforgiving...his drive to dig, hunt, bite, kill was so strong, and not confined to foxes😬... ONLY ONE person could handle, kiss & hug him.... a Downs Syndrome child, he just melted for her...the bond between them would make a rock cry. He was a very 'proud' dog, unbelievable as it is, he allowed that child to hold, lift, to dress him up, comb his hair and tie a bonnet onto him - not a murmur - his 'love' for her glowed from his eyes 💘💝❤💞💕, Got to respect a working dog, especially one in an Easter bonnet.

I'm not sure if genetics has anything to do with it. The way I see it, it is more likely that this little dog was subjected to some harsh abuse by former owners. Maybe he came from a hording/breeding situation and was locked in a cage most of his life.

You won his trust. He sensed your empathy

My heart melted when Ramses took the treat out of your hand! You are a real dog whisperer!

[@wendykendall7906]

His transformation made me cry happy tears 😊 He is a completely different dog now!

Your an amazing person

The person who bought these 5 dogs to the shelter, is their Owner. 😠 If a stranger tried to pick them up they would have gone crazy from fear...

[@dmariewalker6880]

I believe that is true

[@maluhianow3722]

My top theory is that they were the children of the recently deceased owner.

[@dianedeck9790]

@@maluhianow3722 I figured they were probably used for breeding and when they started getting too old they got rid of them.

I saw him change when you talked about all of them in a box. He realized you cared.❤

It's so much fun how excited you get when the dogs take treats from you! I get it, I do. It's just so much fun to watch. Thank you, Rocky, for all you do.

Yes, she or he was trembling uncontrollably and seemed so _vulnerable_ - poor lil' thing!

The smaller the dog the more anxious they can be. Imagine being so small and everything looking so big.

Love makes the world go round. I don’t understand anybody that would hurt an any animal child or baby. I just think you’re a little dog whisperer you do such a fantastic job. I hope you do well and selling your coffee. I might try some one day. I’ve got one of those new pots that push all the air out after you’ve taken the coffee, they’re brilliant thing to have the place to get them. They push all the air out so it’s like freshly opening the packet every time God bless you for your work.❤

The being scared with his tail wagging is so precious while he’s eating treats. 😅😊❤❤❤

@@laurieholmes4572 It’s sad. Nothing cute about it. Poor little guy is terrified.

It’s sad. Nothing precious about a terrified dog.

[@veggiebeat8375]

It breaks my heart to think about what these poor pups must have gone through. I hope they find the loving home they deserve soon.

[@aegrotattoo9018]

Your affirmations made the change, its was wonderful to watch. They don't understand the language but damn they sure get the intentions behind it.

[@marciabenson9371]

Rocky, my dog always has a horrible time every 4th of July with all the fireworks going off. But this year I used your “sitting with dogs” technique and it was amazing how well that went! When the fireworks started I started gradually feeding her tiny bits of cheese, that she loves. After a while she was so focused on when she was going to get that next tiny bite of cheese that it was like the fireworks were not even happening! Even later in the night when neighbors started their own fireworks, she didn’t freak out!

[@bonnievonbank1025]

Thank you for taking time with this precious, little, terrified guy who now is taking treats out of your hand. AMAZING!❤

[@sandijohnson2216]

Wow - as soon as he started saying the positive affirmations, the dog could read/understand and started to trust him! ❤❤❤❤
