- This giant St. Bernard was emaciated and has really bad skin 🥺 because the owner neglected him. Thanks to our Sponsor Furbo and the Furbo for Good fund that works with shelters to bring happiness to animals by providing meals, shelter, training, and more: hello.furbo.com/Rocky-FFG

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
I love your videos, they are the best
OMG, how is Luna? I have a male who weighs 220 pounds. 4 1/2 yrs old.
Hiya are you aware St Bernads is also a school?
What has happened to Raymond?
Notice when Penny is being playful with the older dog how she actively avoids touching the child. That was 100% an active decision not to knock the child over. I would have adopted right there. Thats so unbelievably hard to train.
Yes, and she will probably learn pretty quickly what the senior dog's limits are. I have a senior and just added a german shepherd cross to my family. One of the reasons I'm keeping him is because of how well he plays with my senior with mobility issues. He will go all out with other younger dogs, but just plays bity face with my senior (who is very happy to play, just if someone is too rough he hurts).
Especially for a young energetic dog she has terrific manners. Hopefully the family can give her enough exercise to keep her happy while enjoying her great temperament. Kudos to them for adopting!
And the child fell in love with her immediately 💗 so heartwarming
Absolutely and we should not forget that most dogs in shelters have pent-up energy/tension. I think it's normal and understandable that they are more active/energized when playing or interacting with another dog. Therefore, we should not assume it´s her natural energy level and that she will be that way once she settled down in a new home.
I agreed she is very polite and all the energy will be matched by the kid they can tire each other out. Frankly it will also be great for that little girl to have a dog a little younger to play with.
If I took a dog home from a shelter, no matter what was happening in my life I would NOT give up and return it. I would move heaven and earth to make it a success
YESSSS my thoughts exactly, like how could u do that to that poor baby, like dangling a carrot type of situation. I could never
Mi perra cambio mi vida , fue mi mayor logro es de caza la encontré en el monte . Sólo me arrepiento de una cosa , que se muera antes que yo , no podría vivir sin ella. Rocky es un señor , un abrazo a él y todo su equipo desde España Europa.
Agree. I had one that was super dog reactive. I invested in a trainer, which, was very difficult for me financially, but, wow, the difference was amazing. He was my soul dog. Passed away on a walk, which was unexpected, gut wrenching and traumatic. I'm thankful he was with me, doing what he loved to do. Dogs are amazing.
AMEN
I absolutely get your point and admire it. But I think there are situations where it is simply in the interest of the animal to return it/give it into another care/home. There are situations where it is just selfish to keep it, rather than let it have the best opportunities and home possible.
Let's adopt Kelly, the German Shephard. She looks soooo friendly and would be such a loyal pup for her family.❤❤
i woude adopt kelly but i live in europa
Is Kelly adopted? We might be interested. Our long haired male passed and we have one female shepherd.
Ohhh I want this German Shepherd ‼️ So sweet!
Kelly looks like a Shiloh Shepherd. Congrats to whoever her new family is!
@@roiroi101 There's plenty of shelters in Europe with awesome dogs that need loving too! I'm sure you will find a match
It's probably best for Luna that her original owner declined to pick her up. Now she has the chance to find proper owners who will give her the food, love, and care she needs.
Agree. If they can honestly live with their conscience for saying "just keep her", then they are not a good enough home for Luna, who deserves only the best. She is beautiful and she will find her forever home!
Plus, the owners did not take care of her. I have never seen a St Bernard so skinny. It is criminal.@@Annie497
Can’t help but tear up when the shelter announces the animal going home over the PA system!! So sweet
Me too!
I "liky" 'cos it's a real public commitment. 😁 Yes, you're taking them home and eeeeeeverybody knows it.
We inherited my son's German shepherd after he passed. She is the best ever ❤️❤️❤️
I'm guessing it's the best gift you could give your son...you and his dog will grieve & heal together. Condolences ❤️🩹
@@nunyabiz- it is the best gift ❤️
My condolences for the passing of your son
@@janetmiller2980 thank you ❤️
@@nunyabiz- So sorry for your loss I am praying for you. You have your son's dog and a part of him will always be with you. God bless.
Who else thinks rocky is a very good person?
Edit: Thank you for 400 likes 🥰
Edit: I never do edits, but I just wanna thank you guys for all the likes❤
Meee
Me he’s amazing❤
I love his channel he treats dogs so nicely
He's the best!
Rocky is pawsome and awesome.
That beaks my heart to hear Luna's owners just gave her up, she deserves a forever home and not be nutritionally neglected. Like I could SEE her ribs through her fur, she's just so fluffy it's hard to see but yeah she's very very under weight. Kelly deserves a forever home, she's such a beautiful sweet girl, and she just wants love.
I can imagine people Fighting over the privilege of having that Shepherd and St. Bernard in their lives.
They are Stunningly beautiful, and more importantly,-- Sweet and Loving.
WOW. WOW. WOW.
My Grandparents were both Deaf & Blind so I grew up with their German Shepherd guide dogs. For the most part back in the '30s '40s and '50s German shepherds were the most popular guide dog breed. I just wish more people were aware of how loving, loyal, and gentle they can be.
Just like with labs, they have been overbred and bred for some really bad characteristics which have reduced the good parts of the breed.
We love you, Rocky! Thank you for devoting so much of your life to saving animals. Animals are pure love!
I do wonder why so many loving, lovely dogs get abandoned or mistreated. I'm sure they have different stories but in the end, the dog suffers.
If people can abuse innocent children they of course do it to animals and abandon because it's legal.
This could be the best thing for Luna...its obvious that her "owners" didn't take care of her. That shepherd is a dream pet! Whomever gets her is getting a gem! God be with your endeavors concerning the well being of these pets!
totally agree.. Kelly is totally a gem.. if i wasn't located in Denmark i would love to adopt.
Let's hope the shelter screens Lunas next family better
That little girl absolutely loved that dog. She would have gone home and cried her eyes out until they went back to adopt her.
That GSD is so lovely and friendly. 🐶❤️💯
For the people who just abandoned Luna... My oh my do i want a word with you. But also I'm glad they did that so she can be with a BETTER more LOVING family. Ugh if i was in america I'd take them all.
Rocky is the best person.
Rocky should win a "best human" award.
omg if I wasn't located in Denmark I would love to adopt Kellie.. what an angel.
I'm wondering if they would let u adopt out of state or is there rules against it
Don't let that stop you without examining the steps through which you will have to proceed. It cannot be too difficult between the USA and a European Community country, as that has been done many, many times. Do not let the call of your heart go unanswered. Omnia vincit amor! Love conquers all!
You may have been too slow this time, so fight back! Do enough research now, so that if you feel attracted to another animal you will know enough to set an adoption in motion while you deal with the specific details relevant to the animal that has taken your heart.
I wish you and your future pet a long and loving relationship
That female long coat German Shepherd is beautiful. And perfect. I wish her the best! It really breaks my heart to hear that there are so many gsds in the shelter, I've had them since I was a baby, I'm now 63. The very traits that make them so popular are the same traits that make them hard to adopt. They are loyal to their owners and protective of them. Please don't take your German Shepherd to a shelter, it's almost a guaranteed death. There are rescue organizations all across the country, take the time to find one or even post an ad for them. They would do it for you...
I don't recommend posting unless you know how to get homes and can do adoption contracts, home checks etc. there's a lot of very bad people who will hurt them.
What are you talking about? I'm totally confused.
She is a sweetheart. Very good with people, not stranger fearful and well balanced temperment.
If I lived on the west coast, I would adopt Kelly today. She is lovely and loving.
I just said the same thing!!!
They transport off the islands.
@@pjk1714 I'm in NY; I probably can't afford it.
I'm so glad Penny and Charlotte got adopted! They deserve it! 😄 I just hope Kelly the German Shepherd and Luna the St Bernard find their forever homes as well. 🤞
I have two Shepherd mix pups from a litter dumped in the desert in January. Gorgeous dogs. I've asked myself 'Why?' so many times. They are so smart and became protective as soon as we got home. These two 8wk fuzzballs tried to protect my daughter and I from our two huge Dobermans when we introduced them. It was crazy! Makes absolutely no sense why someone would dump them! But they're mine now!!! ❤
Thank you for rescuing them!
I have a shepherd retriever cross I am fostering now and I have no clue why anyone wouldn't want this dog. He came already house trained and figured out my life really quickly. I keep waiting for a reason not to keep him, but it hasn't come.
@@aina3387I had a shepherd retriever mix, rescued from the pound. Her family turned her in. They said she was too high energy but I think her separation anxiety got the better of her sometimes. She was beautiful and so smart. The most obedient dog I ever had. The only one I ever had who play bowed to the vet after getting shots😂.
Luna needs the best parents who will never betray her again 🙏🏻💔
That was one BEAUTIFUL German Shepherd. WOW!!!
We all appreciate you how much you do for the dogs and cats no matter what size they are we love what you do never give up to make us happy especially the dogs and the cats❤❤❤
Thank you! In all fairness though all credit goes to the amazing team at Animal Friends of the Valleys. They work so hard every day caring for these animals.
@@rockykanaka all animal shelters are the best.
@@rockykanaka Thank you for all the work you do. 🥰❤
My name is rocky after Rocky Balboa
My name is rocky after Rocky Balboa😊
The gorgeous long haired German Shepherd reminded me of my German Shepherd (Mia) who passed away December 2022 and I’m still grieving. She was very loyal she thought everyone was out to murder me lol. I hope she gets adopted soon and please keep us updated. UK fan ❤
So sorry for the loss of your Mia.
Is your profile photo of Mia? She was absolutely gorgeous. ❤
@@iamyou3080 yes, that’s my Mia, she was beautiful inside and out ❤️❤️
All my dogs have been rescues. All of them and they get their forever home, love, pats, walks, good food, treats, fenced in back yard and fresh water. I love my shelter dogs.
6,5 years and allready been there two times? thats heartbreaking
@rockykanaka we have our own young man.. a 8 month old Saint bernard.. And I could never ever in a million years leave him in a shelter, or even think of giving him away.. Never
It strikes me that shelters should have some trained volunteers that teach adopters some things about dog psychology/handling because I feel a many families may often get in over their heads with regards to dog handling, which could be allayed with some knowledge and training.
Excellent points.
Getting & training volunteers takes money - shelters are short on money. That's why Rocky and his sponsors thankfully step in.
Love this idea! Just need more volunteers 🤙
Volunteers are unpaid...not every town has experts with time that don't need money. You can do that though. You go get trained then volunteer
Penny is my ultimate dog. I would adopt her in a heartbeat!
OMG…I am a Cat person, but even I would adopt Kelly. WTH ? How can she be a stray ? That temperament…that gentle, trusting behaviour…those Teddy Bear ears !! Somebody is going to hit the Doggie Lottery Jackpot with this beautiful girl.
I think I’m a bit jealous. 😄
Me too love her I would take her in a heartbeat but I live in Wales
@@RedPhone-mz5lv😅😅
I don’t always love how certain RUclips personalities promote themselves and their good deeds, but it has been clear from the beginning that Rocky genuinely wants to make a difference with his exposure. It’s never about how him, it is always about what he can do to help the shelters and rescues in his area find foster homes and adopters. I’m sure just him setting a good example has made a widespread impact, let alone how many dogs have found homes because he helped get the word out and helped calm their reactionary behaviors.
Oh how I want Kelly!!! She is beautiful!!! I only wish that I lived closer!!!
I adopted a shelter dog 4 months ago. She’s so adorable and gets along with my little chihuahua. I think she’s a chihuahua, boston terrier mix. She does have small seizures every now and then. I give her CBD oil and both get homemade meals and vitamins. I love my babies and now I’m retired and spend all my time with them. I named her Chloe and they say she’s about 8 years old.
I bawled like a big baby when Penny got adopted! So happy for Penny & her forever family. 💜🐕
We lost our sweet Lucy a few years ago. She was a Shar Pei, so I'm so glad that sweet baby got adopted.
You are an angel to the pups!
God sent you❤
Thanks for helping all of these dogs
I just LIT up when I got the notification for this video. I just LOVE when you help dogs out! Thank you Rocky ❤
Rocky is a wonderful human we need more people like him
YOU can be a wonderful person, too....
You are amazing. Thank you for doing this.
Keep up the good work of looking after dogs Rocky and your team I’m very proud of you.
1:24 Penny has A LOT of energy! She deserves a family with kids, animals, lots of spaces, hikes, travels.
You and your family are to going heaven for your commitment and caring for these sweet creatures and their futures. Thank you. 🙏🏻
No, that's how you get to heaven. You only get to heaven by admitting you're a sinner and believing that Jesus died for your sins on the cross and rose again to newness of life so that you could too.
Seems to me with all the smiles, even the dogs, I think they are in heaven now. Having adopted both kids and dogs, I know I AM! No matter how much the kids act like dogs lol. There is enough. " don't eat that, stop peeing inside, leave that ALONE! Thank gosh the kids go to bed so I can have quiet time with the puppies.
Earthly commitment doesn't get anyone into heaven. Only by accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior of their lives does.
I loooove Kelly but living in Central Florida it’s just too hot here for such a flood ball. Give her scratches and love from me please!
Love Penny, so great she is adopted
Love you Rocky you are best for helping all these dogs God bless you❤❤
Thank you for all you do, I am learning a lot from you!
Save lives! Adopt! Forster! Pledge! Share! Pets are FAMILY! 🙏🏼🐶💜🌈🙏🏼🐶💜
Good to see you again, Rocky. We could see Penny was only anxious and curious about you, now hopefully not too high energy for poor Riley. Your wife, Kelly, is a good person, what a great name for a beautiful Shepherd. How I wish I could have her myself, but I'm sure someone in CA will come for her. In addition to GSDs, there was a time you wouldn't see Shar-Peis and St. Bernards in the shelter. Not so anymore, but this one's surely better off in a new home. Mahalo, and I hope your loved ones in Maui are doing okay.
💕🐾🐶🍀🌺☮️
I love seeing a shelter pet's gratitude to their new family and their joy on their "Walk of Claim"!
Such a beautiful gsd girl. Im living in the Netherlands so I csn’t adopt but I have a gsd girl myself and she is the sweetest, gentle dog.
❤❤❤❤❤your beautiful person thanks for helping 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for all you do🐾
17 year old pomchi with a lot of health issues, 13 year old labmix, 10 year old terrier mix. Couldn't imagine a moment of my life without them. No matter how old, blind, deaf, immobile they get, they are mine and I love them more than anything.
Penny is just so happy to be free and around kind people. I hope the adoptive parents understand that it will take a bit for her to settle in and calm down and not give up on her.
I love dogs and I'm so happy that you help them
I would take every one of them home if I could!
I know what you mean ❤
so would i because i have a 50 aker property and i love dogs
I think we all would. It reminds me of an old Popeye cartoon where Popeye freed all the animals from their pet store cages only to see Bluto as the dog catcher pick them all up off the streets in his truck to take them to the shelter. Naturally, Popeye rescued them all and got them safely back into their pet store cages. It was heartwarming to watch as a kid and still is today.
Me too if I could. Kelly the German shepherd. She is beautiful. We have 2 Australian shepherds. Our first dog was a German shepherd mix border collie. Hope she finds her forever home.
@@shave-a-thon3415 Is a pet store better than an animal shelter?
All are so precious!❤❤❤❤❤❤
That was so adorable ❤
Penny made me remember my dog that died a few years ago, was my companion, friend and son, I helped him when Channel gave birth, him was one of the ones that I saved and wasn't breathing when did born. I cry a bit when I remember him my Snoopy I hope that is in a better place. I miss him so much, and the new pup is helping healing that scars together with my rescued cat that someone did abndoned outside my fence injured in the paws. I have 2 dogs and two cats both rescued and healed by me now they are big and strong. Give love and take care of your 4 pawed friends they give so much uncondicional love and we should give love too until the last breath and know that we did the best for them. And that husky in the next cage of Penny omg I would travel to get that pupper if I had money and lived close(I don't want him to suffer a travel of several hours to azores and that can stress the poor pup) I hope him found a family that deserves him.
Very nice!
Oh the long hair shepard is SO BEAUTIFUL! Thank you Rocky and helpers for all you all do for animals.
OMG. Kelly reminds me so much of my former dog Jaro regarding her personality. ❤❤❤
I hope the St Bernard gets adopted quickly. I'd take her, but I'm in Washington & currently unemployed. Funny, I'm a vet tech & unemployed😢 I use to work in a shelter & thank you for working with these dogs. It really helps them find furever homes
Some people don't deserve a Dog.All dogs deserve ❤️
Big problem watching your videos from Europe... I wish I could go and get that gorgeous GSD girl tomorrow!! Hope she'll find the right owner soon!!
I totally agree.. I am in Denmark and it would be too much hassle
Poor Kelly too so heartbreaking. I hope she gets a furever home soon.
💜💜💜 Rocky God blessed you you're an amazing person and I wish nothing but good things for you and your family Rocky Kanaka 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾💜💜💜
I grew up with my Deaf & Blind Grandparents German Shepherd guide dogs and they were the best SUBLINGS in the world.
My rescue girl was so emotionally messed up when we got her. Years of dog school and socialisation and she is a different girl. It takes time to heal a damaged dog, but so worth it ❤
I have a half husky half Germans shepherd and she is so cute and so sweet and she is so loving 🥰
I get emotional I watch this videos for two drastically. Different reasons. One reason is to see all these beautiful dogs in the shelter dogs who did nothing wrong waiting for someone to come and love them and bring them home. The other reason I get emotional and literally start crying is when these beautiful babies find their forever home and get adopted.
Youre doing great work! Keep it up!
St.Bernard’s aren’t supposed to be that skinny. Poor baby.
he was really underweight. prob needs to put on about 50 to 70 lbs.
Well Rocky, I adopted a 1 year old grey/white/yellow female cat who came with the name Rocky, she is 19 years old now and she has been the most wonderful kit!!! Here is to all the great Rocky’s out there!!🎉🎉
I’m surprised they took Penny home. Real worried she’s gonna’ be returned. Fingers crossed I’m wrong.
Yes, that looked like a bad match. Scary how they let little girl put her face right next to a dog's (especially an unfamiliar, untrained dog). Surprised shelter personnel didn't counsel better child/dog safety practices and parents were not protecting their child. Even a docile dog can bite if it becomes uncomfortable.
There’s a comfortable interview with their relative who says they have adopted before and this will be fine! Penny great with kid! They love her and it’s been two weeks already! Signs are good!
I was absolutely bawling when I saw the Chinese Shar Pei. She reminded me of my good boy Rocco who crossed over 4 years ago. They are so sweet and loving. They can be expensive health wise due to their eyes , ears and skin needs. They are so worth it. Their loyalty is beyond compare. I'm so happy to see Charlotte got adopted!
Adopte and take care of all lovely dogs, they deserve a home, love,care
The GSD is beautiful ❤
Lovely dog. Lovely bag of wrinkles😊.
giving these dogs hope & a new life is a incredibly beautiful thing ty Sir🌹
yeah beautiful penny!!!
And thank you shelter workers. I admire your heart...
Thank you for everything you do for these amazing dogs, Rocky. You’re the best!🙌
Thank you, for all the hard work and dedication for the love of these dogs, God bless you brother
People pay a fortune for special breeds only to give them away. Crazy. My rescue dog ate up my house and chewed 5 car seat belts, she needed a 5/6 mile walk every day and toys to keep her stimulated. But she was so gentle, sweet natured and just a fabulous companion. Recently she died of cancer and I miss her every day 😢 please please don’t give up
As a person with a dog named Rocky, I approve of the name Kelly 😂
Signed a heartbroken lady who raised her kids in Lahaina ❤️🔥
I'm so sorry you lost a place dear to your heart!
thank you for always keeping a positive attitude with some of the most heartbreaking situations - I bet that really helps the dogs remain hopeful.
I feel so bad for these dogs I wish I could take them all home but I can't afford that but if I could afford it I would I have trouble supporting myself right now.
omy the lady adopting Charlotte was soo sweet and you could tell she truly loved Charlotte already 🥹❤️
I have my 5th rescue and it's my favorite breed. When I first bring them home I tell them...I didn't have you for the rest of your life but I have you for the best of your life. I only take seniors and I do my best to make their years happy and fun with lots of love.
HIIIII I LUV YOUR CHANNEL!!!!
i think the reason alot of dogs end up in shelters is not just abuse or neglect, its the fact that people dont educate and prepare themselves to have a dog and have it for a longterm! i understand there are circumstances that are sometimes out of our control, but i mean find a way if you really love that animal! i know alot of people that move or lose jobs or divorce and are in the middle of circumstances that were unplanned, and they find a way to make it work! its like any relationship, be it friendship or marriage, you find a way to make it work!
Happy wife, happy life! Good job Rocky!!! Your wife is a beautiful lady inside & out! 😊
Luna ist soooo cute! What a beautiful girl! Saint Bernards are so sensitive but reliable dogs. I love them so much. 😍😍😍
The world makes more sense with people like you, thank you for taking the time and patience to share the good and bad, and the difficult reality of these dogs’ situations are curbed by your love and kindness
Penny is wonderful. She is so good with the little girl and she is obviously very eager to please. She is a hidden treasure that has been found.
❤
What a beautiful dog. She deserves the best. I love German shepherds, they are special.
When i was in gradeschool transitioning into middle school, my dad surprised us with a dog. The local humane society was on my dad's way home from work. He would stop by periodically and check out the dogs. He'd walk in the kennel and all the dogs would be going crazy. Jumping up on the doors barking and begging for attention. Jake was a giant German shepherd mix who just was lying in his kennel, quiet, defeated. My dad left and returned again the next day. Same thing. He asked about Jake and was told that that next day was Jake's last day. He wasn't aggressive or old or sick...he just wasnt getting the attention and back then, most shelters were NOT no kill. He asked them to postpone so he could go home and talk with his family. The next day, he brought Jake home. Jake was an absolute teddy bear! Loving and kind. Respected the rules. He was such an amazing dog!
