I am finally in assisted housing after being homeless for two years. When a choice between me and my dog eating came up,my dog ate. When she needed to go to the vet, I begged for money. When she was cold, she wore my coat and I went cold. I absolutely can NOT understand how someone could use the excuse of homelessness to hurt their animal like this. I know I sound harsh, but I have been there. I did my utmost to make sure my dog didn’t suffer because of my circumstances. If you’re not willing to put them first, you don’t deserve them.

Homeless for years with dogs, and homeless longer because it's so hard to work and find a place to live with a dog. Been off the street for 6 years and making a decent living but still about to be homeless again because my rental was sold and can't find another quickly enough that takes dogs!

Could you please help me? I adopted two puppies in February (Lucio and Valentina), both used to eat their poop, but now just Lucio still does it. His former "owner" abused from him by not feeding him nor his mom 😔I tried with pills to get rid of parasites, gave him vitamins to increase calories to his diet, but I guess it tasted good to him that used to make him go run to eat his poop. He is still very defensive and aggressive when it's time to eat with my other pets, sometimes also with water with his sister Valentina and my 2 cats. It worries me that he gets parvovirus from eating his or my other babies poop, I know it can take a lot to know well the situation but I hope there's something I can do to help him to not feel he has to do that 🙏🏻

Rocky, my neighbors moved to Florida. They took the kids and dogs but they left 3 cats. I earned the trust of these 3 cats. I would sit outside on my porch and play with them. Neighbors brought me food for them. They were the sweetest cats. I found homes for 2 of them and the third one walked in my back door and never left. Everybody loves her. ❤ I also had another cat. Lol.

That's awful to hear your neighbours did that and wonderful to hear you saved the cats. 🙏 Too many people do this! I've seen it far too often. The poor animal watches the humans pack up and just leave them there. It's absolutely despicable. I've rescued and adopted 3 cats throughout my life, so far, who suffered through exactly this. My horrible ex-father-in-law casually told me he did this. I raced over to the house he'd left. His beautiful girl was crying outside the empty house she'd been locked out of. Now she's mine and the ex and his awful dad are locked outside of our house 😁😻👍. Cat victory! Truffles (Truffy-doo) and my other cat, Moose are the most precious gifts in my life. ❤

But they aren't! They're cold, they're hungry, sometimes they're sick. I can't stand to see an animal without a home and someone to love.😪 Bless you for helping those sweet kitties❣

Because of all the times I’ve watched your videos, when I unexpectedly lost my 13 year old chihuahua mix I gave a lot of thought to checking out the local animal shelter with the possibility of adopting a senior small dog. Four different times I sat with a dog, sharing cut up chicken & I could not touch the dog. After two weeks I decided to adopt him. The first time he let me touch him was when the shelter workers wanted a photo of him with his new mom. Two days later he was curled up on my lap watching tv. It’s now a month later and he still has a lot of fear of strangers but is playful and affectionate with me. Thank you for inspiring me to sit with a dog for a few times before deciding if I had the patience to start over with a new dog.

Decades ago my roommates and I adopted a cat from the shelter, but when we got her home, she ran and his under the beds, chairs, etc. and was totally unapproachable. A couple days after she came home we went into the living room to sit and put on a Bob Dylan record. Within minutes she came out of her hiding place and crawled in my lap. Music is magic.

In England they have a street vet program for homeless with dogs. They recognize the need the homeless have to own dogs for companionship and improvement in mental health. They love their dogs and with free healthcare including surgeries they make every effort to make and keep their appointments. Talking to them they say that their dogs are their whole world and they would feel very alone without them.

I realize your comment is a month old, so sorry for being late to the party. We live in Florida, on the coast. Our critters are well taken care of. We wouldn’t even consider leaving one behind. In the case of hurricane, we are all ready. Every critter has its own carrier, all are marked for who goes where, and everyone knows where they are stored, and what to do. We have 5 adult humans, currently 4 dogs, 3 cats, and a ferret. We have practiced. Even in a fire, we can get all the critters out in under 5 minutes. Screw the house. All our “kids” are car trained, and except the ferret, good riders. Just 1 or 2 of us can do the deal, and get the babies safe. With 10 minutes, food and water bowls come with us. With an hour, they get beds, harnesses, leashes. With a few more minutes they get all that, and paperwork. We hang out for a cat 2, a cat 3 has us moving the babies. They don’t usually wear collars, and I guess thats bad. But, our kids have great recall, and follow commands.

Fourteen years ago, I adopted a Shih Tzu mix. When I first got him, he found every nook and cranny to escape my fenced-in back yard. It never occurred to me to return him to the shelter. He eventually became my best friend and companion. I lost him earlier this year to heart failure. He was 17 years old. I can still visualize him as a young dog running around the yard with his hair flying! I hope I gave him a better life, and I am sure he gave me a better life. RIP Charlie ❤

I adopted a street dog that my adult son found roaming. He was in awful shape physically and mentally . He obviously had been on the street for some time and had been abused. I found that singing to him was very calming. I would sing " it's ok, it's ok, little buddy, little buddy..... Very soft as I sat by him and he just calmed. I also sing " The Lion Sleeps Tonight " and he loves that n sings along. He goes crazy just howls and goes all in , just the with the most feeling possible from an old scruffy dog. He is fairly old. Not sure how old but maybe 13 ish. I have had him since 2020. He is from my research a Spitz mix even has some tiny dew claws. ( He only weighs like 30lbs). They are notably known to be pretty histrionic and vocal. My pitbull, who is 16 , loves music and just melts with classical music but loves some good classic rock. My shepherd just loves it all. Anyway, music is a great tool for helping rescues relax and connect.

Luckily we ignored all the warnings and brought her home. It's been 3 weeks and we have been really enjoying her. Thank you Rocky for promoting adoptions. I have adopted several dogs over the years and have never regretted it.

You are very correct. I am 62 now but for my entire life most animals and little kids love me. People think it's odd because I am taller, I have a deep voice, I am a prior service Army Ranger, and many adults think I have a "Stern" look. But the animals and kids just seem drawn to me. I do adore them and somehow they can just sense it.

My rescue dog Lucy was abandoned with 12 other dogs when their family moved out. I do not know how long they were alone. It took the landlord another week before he let anyone in to help them. Lucy was one of four survivors. I am so thankful everyday that I have Lucy in my life. It took some time but she has turned into a total cuddlebug. She is the best dog. Thank you so much for giving these dogs a chance and a voice.

Senior dogs are sweet. My last rescue, Peggy, was 11 when she was taken from abusive owners and she was in the shelter (RSPCA) for a whole year because she was 11 when she went in. I had just lost my previous rescue to what his previous owner did to him. Peggy was very shut down and she would only eat a couple of mouthfuls a day in the shelter. I fed her up day by day, feeding her by hand and it was a week before she would eat from her bowl but she ate properly after that. She had been bashed and beaten by her previous owners so I just talked to her gently and let her come to me when she was ready. When she came out of her shell, she was a very loving, affectionate little dog. A very aggressive cancer got her just over 3 years later and I'm glad I had been able to give her love and warmth and lack of violence in those years. I carried her into the vet in her big warm blanket and it went all the way with her that last day. I got my next rescue, a middle-aged dog, 3 weeks later and he'll get the same easy death when he's ready. I will continue to take the older dogs. I can't leave them there to keep being rejected.

Whether you’re just a naturally calm person or you’ve learned to settle and control your voice and energy doesn’t matter!

As a foster parent and with a dog and 3 cats I adopted when fostering, animals calm down when there’s soft music! It doesn’t matter if you’re off key…they don’t know it…as long as it’s gentle. The female cat was abused by her previous owners and is terrified of rain and thunderstorms! She mews…not meows…in fear. So I have been “sitting with cats” for 7 years as I’ll sit on a towel near her and sing my favorite songs softly. She calms down and falls asleep. Even the other pets fall asleep. Please don’t ever apologies for your singing…after all, it’s for THEM, not your audience!

I just lost my service dog after 16 years of love that I’ve never known from any other animal or human in my life. He was my life. I struggled financially to provide for him and had to make his food the last two years due to his illness. I managed to keep him alive and healthy with Cushing’s for 4 years after diagnosis. I can’t understand how unkind the vets in my area were, taking advantage of me by charging exorbitant fees for veterinary care. It cost me thousands of dollars over the last 4 years for his treatment. I managed to find a vet that helped by lowering his fee due to my financial circumstances, but it took a year of misdiagnosis and lots of lousy vets till I found one willing to work with me. I live is a resort town with many wealthy residence. I can’t afford to have another dog and I need a service dog due to my physical disabilities. I have found that there’s nothing left to keep me going and I’ve never experienced loneliness and depression like this before. I watch shows like this to help ease the pain of loss. Thank God for people like Rocky.

Check with your local shelter or especially the local pound cause the adoption fee may not be that much & sometimes the shelters run special adoption rates. Always use coupons to buy Dog Food & not sure what I can tell you about Vet Bills tho but I believe everyone deserves a Dog to love & to love them. Dogs are one of God’s greatest gifts to Us & everyone deserves his Gifts but no one should ever mistreat them or hurt them. I am a Senior also but live with my husband in our home with our five Dogs. Four are outside Dogs with good Shelters/Dog Houses one inside all the time & a large one that stays inside part of the time. I love my Dogs & I’ve had Dogs all my life & can’t imagine life without them. I hope you get a new Best Friend soon. 😊❤️

I don't know where you live, but some animal rescues in need of foster homes cover the bills. Perhaps you could be a foster? That is a great gift to an animal in need. You could call around and explain your situation and see if any local rescue would be able to foot the bills as long as you gave the home as a foster.

Pet ownership is becoming only for the rich due to cost of food, vets fees plus pet insurance. It shouldn't be this way.

I spent more than 2 hours sitting on the floor with my Penny when I brought her home from the shelter. She was terrified of everything. She bonded with me, but it took years before she decide that male humans were ok. The love she gave me was worth all the patients and work. She passed loving people and being loved.

She is hearing your voice as you speak. It may be comforting to her.

I’m in Australia, I’d adopt her if I could. I cried when I saw how compressed her neck was from the lead. I’m so glad she’s been given a second chance to live a happy and peaceful life ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I'm a groomer and my friend teases me because I tell the dogs they are "brave and good". When he said she was brave it brought tears to my eyes. I also sing to them any sing with their name in it and if I actually don't know one then I will put their name into a song. They really like that. This dog looks like one my friend had, the one of all the dogs she's loved who is number one in her heart to this day. What he does for these dogs is priceless and a beautiful gift when they need it most.

I noticed her eyes are express sadness and depression. I also noticed that she recognized she recognized when you said sweetheart. She is listening to you talk and sing but eyes express sadness and looks like she has been crying.

Her heart is broken and she is uncomfortable with people because she feels abandoned. It’s too scary trusting a person for now. She is smart and has a good heart that will love again. I rescued my lab Lucky off the streets of Atlanta and ever so slowly he trusted me…. My Lucky now tells me when mu asthma is kicking up, when my blood oxygen is low or my heart beat is too high, a life saver for me. She is a brave dog.
