      Hi Rocky!
      Love Katie’s spirit ❤🐶❤
      And you are one of the greatest humans ever too! Good Rocky!
      So, on a separate note, would “rough” be a good description, instead of “her skin is so bad”?
      (Katie clearly understands you are there to help her and love her. I’m thinking about other dogs who have different psychological challenges that make them sensitive to the “bad” word)

    Hi. I’m in the UK and we adopted a Belgian Shepherd who was a stray. She was very possibly the most affectionate, balanced dog we ever had. Unfortunately, she was also the most unwell her entire life. The shelter thought she was three years but turned out she was much younger. Crazily she suffered TMJ like myself. We lost her to cancer after six years and she left a huge chasm in my heart. I will never forget the day we adopted Xena. The staff brought her out to us and she reacted as though we were her people come to take her home! She hooked a paw around my husband’s leg and pressed her face into his knees. It was like saying “get me the heck out of here.” Definitely not a good place as we had no home check and she came out with kennel cough. It was just hand over your money and take her. We headed straight to the vet and got her sorted. It was the first time I’ve ever seen a dog sneeze green snot!!! Please, please, never overlook shelter dogs. They deserve all the kindness and love we can give.

      The dog we’re caring for has PTSD-like bad dreams. Not from prior abuse or neglect of any kind but due to separation anxiety from her now divorced owners whose circumstances don’t allow either of them to keep her yet. She wakes up in great distress. By calmly saying, “It’s just a bad dream”, I’ve had some success helping her to recognize more quickly after a bad dream that she is safe.

I'm telling you that because in spite all that, when i see videos like this, i start crying like a 5 yr old girl... 😢 😏 Goes to show you that what life has done to them, we can relate, and we see it in animals that have been hurt by others and part if me wants to knock out someone that would hurt a dog or kitty like that. Animals bring out the love and compassion we've forgotten because we know they're teaching us what we definitely need to learn. What is truly considered, unconditional love.... ☺️....❤️ 😁

    I think she's not as interested in the toys right now because she wants those pettin's right now. She's a love sponge right now! All those pettin's and the positive affirmations - that's what she's going to be focused on until she internalizes that she is fully loved and loveable. Once she feels fully secure, that's when she'll be much more playful. I adopted a dog like her once - he was just so needy, for a long time! Then he got really relaxed and happy.

    I am reminded of my little girl cat; we found each other on the street. She was starved and desperate. I made an appointment with the vet for the following morning, but that night she didn't eat or drink. She wanted to. She was desperate ..and would chew a bit but couldn't swallow. Water wouldn't even go down. The following morning x rays revealed her insides were blocked by all the guck she had ingested on the street in an effort to survive. They hooked her up to an IV for nutrients and hydration and kept her for a week. She eventually was able to pass it all due to the hydration, but it took about 6 months for her insides to heal. This is something you really have to watch for in animals who have been trying to survive on the street. She is still with me after 6 years. She is a beautiful, dainty, extremely affectionate and healthy girl and a good sister to the other cat I had when she was found.

However, she and I had 4 beautiful healthy babies one week ago. She looks like the Birman breed kitty. She’s a beauty and her babies already have fantastic homes. 😊💗

    I rescued a 1 year old lab/greyhound mix who lived in a 3x3 cage the first year of her life with no attention. I had to teach her everything...literally EVERYTHING. She didn't know what a toy was and didn't know how to play either. She never learned but loved her toys. She would just carry them around and sleep with them, almost treating them like her puppies. It was very sweet. She turned out to be the most loyal, loving, and sweet dog ever. She passed away about 4 years ago from natural causes. I miss her every single day. I have her ashes and the first toy I ever gave her next to my bed. When I pass away, her ashes will be mixed with mine so we can be together forever. Love my Tallulah.

    My husband and I adopted a Red tick Coonhound from a rescue group. She had been adopted and returned. Apparently they dragged her out of her crate, when they took the crate away, she hid under a table and they dragged her out from under that. They returned her because of that and not being house broken. She was scared of men, especially those over 6' with glasses. My husband is 6"4 with glasses. With a lot of patience and love he became her favorite person. She got to go on hikes, get cuddles and love, she knew she was loved and no one would hurt her ever again. I wanted to see her and adopt her because she looked so scared and shut down. We knew she needed love and patience and she is still in our hearts even though she's passed on. God Bless you for what you do to help these dogs.

    I found a stray once, back in the early 90s, one of those smaller Australian border collie type dogs, he was running in the middle of the highway, I got him off the road and he ran into a gas station garage and cowered in a corner, but he was like this dog, just desperate for affection. I got him in my car and he smelled so bad my car stunk for a week. I took him to a no kill shelter, thought about it and went back for him - but he had already been adopted by someone in their management, who had had the same type of dog who died of cancer the year before. His new owner had a big yard and lived on a lake. He got my contact info and sent me nice letter with photos and thanked me for helping “Prince” find his way to his new home. Still makes me feel happy to think about it.

    Maybe she belonged to an older or sick person, who died, or was taken to a nursing home, or maybe a hospital. And the owner of the house came to empty it out, and just threw her in the street. That's when her hardest times started.

    My daughter and I were driving looking for a bakery when a little white dog crossed the road in front of us. I pulled over to the side of the road and when the dog approached the back door I gave him a gentle shove and pushed him into the car. We took the dog to a vet - we discovered he was covered with mats and fleas. After a bath and hair cut the dog came home with us. We named him Muffin Amis. He had found his forever home. Later we purchased a female dog we named Missy Amis. Best dogs we have ever had in our home.

    I wish I can adopt her so bad… I got 2 cats and not in a good environment for her .. I really hope the person who adopts her treats her like the princess that she is 💖

    I love watching her slowly get used to you and her opening up to you.

    What a little love bug, I loved her instantly. This why dogs are better than people. She's been through so much and still wants to give and receive love. I would take her in a minute if she were in Massachusetts.

      how do you wanna know that lots of people aren't just very similar to this dog...? Love these videos, but also i often think that many people show more love and patience for dogs than for people.

      Katie is so sweet, I hate that she has went through so much in her young life, she looks like she has some collie in her, I had a female when I was a lot younger, and she had 9 puppies, they are just lover's. Thank you for what you do!! Sooo many animals in shelters , rescues, and a lot has to do with puppy mills?? Sooo Bad.

    If i wasnt so late to this party, I'd drive all the way from Michigan just to adopt her. We already have a Dutch Shepherd mix rescue with skin problems so we're experienced in handling it. And he's a sweetie, i bet they'd get along great.
    That's okay, i can see she will have no shortage of people who want her. As long as she gets a good home!

    I love your videos. The love you show all these sweet babies. ❤ this one especially brought tears to my eyes. You can see how much she just wants to be loved and is willing to give someone the chance. I hope she finds her loving furever home.
