I adopted a Chihuahua. The shelter gave her a chip, spayed her and did all the right things. Thanks, guys! But they didn’t tell us, Ginger had been returned to the shelter 3 times, and so nervous about being abandoned. My husband is a mechanic so was test driving a vehicle. He just scooped her up, put her in the vehicle and drove down the road. Ginger started shaking and threw up. Come to find out, she thought he was taking her back to the pound. Now we know. We put her in and harness her up and talk excitedly about where we’re going and what she will get to do. Lots of love! 💖

My son adopted a rescue dog who had been adopted as a puppy, then returned to shelter three years later (we don't know why, but it was a few months into Covid). To say she had abandonment issues is an understatement. She recognizes the expressway the shelter was off of and is always a nervous wreck when we drive on that stretch.

I adopted a 5 year old Cane Corso female, and the shelter wanted to reinforce to me that I would have to pay to return her, she was returned twice.....and it ended there. I've had her for 3.5 years now - and she is the BEST most beautiful dog ever. I took her to a trainer because she weighed more than me.....but I am the alpha, and she is the BABY!! Adopt don't shop!!!!

Anyone know if Logan cane Corso still in home with the kids

We adopted a dog from a place that had a whole large litter in one small run. They warned us that she always would escape. They told us to keep her locked up. When we got her home we thought we had made a mistake. She was going crazy in the crate. We live on a farm so we decided that we had to let her go and let the chips fall where they may. We had her for 12 years. She never left our farm on her own once. She was one of the best dogs we have ever had.

She was able to calm down nicely, and is now a goofy love bug ! Smart as neck which is probably one reason she was so stressed ! Great dog, all she needed was stress free help.

Aww, Logans eyes looked filled with tears. What a gentle giant.

3 years ago I went to my local shelter to shop for a dog. I was introduced to a 6 yr old pittie mix that nobody wanted. We were placed in a room so we can get to know each other. She was all over me like a cheap suit when the lady from the shelter came into the room to see how we were doing. Abby did not leave my side, she was asking me in the best way she knew for me to take her home with me. She's been with me since that first meeting. I believe she picked me. In the 3 years we've been together, she has never done anything wrong in the house and when she thinks she has, she apologizes in the cutest ways. Abby is my 4th shelter dog and every one of them have been sweethearts. Abby is now in training to get her certificate to be able to visit nursing homes and children's hospitals.

We have experienced the same thing with our rescue. We loved her from the beginning but she took a bit to trust us. She still has some issues but she is so much happier and that is all we wanted. We got her in January 2020 which turned out to be great timing because we were all home all day as she got more comfortable. Three years later, she is now great with us (most people) but she has some problems with anxiety and can be aggressive with other animals. We just work around her issues and treasure her. If we had just reacted to her behavior when we got her and returned her because she took extra time and care, we would’ve missed out. Everyone, people and animals, needs an adjustment period to recover from trauma. Thank you for supporting animals.

My girl is a sweet pittie. She was returned so many times. They left her kennel open thinking we would return her too. It was work but turned out she had bad allegries. now she is thriving. She has been part of us for 2 years.

I rescued two pit bull, Sharpae, and Dachsund. They were under 2 weeks old and didn't even have their eyes open good. They both had Parvo and one had an ulcer on her eye. But they were so bonded. I got them up to the point that they were healthy and ready for adoption and they would scream when seperated. I tried to explain that they were so bonded that they spit in their crate with their laws around each other but the rescue facility said they don't adopt siblings out together because it causes behavior problems. Well, it wasn't a foster fail, it was an adopt success. They are both with me, a little over a year old and happy, healthy, and very interactive. I'm so happy to have them with my other 2 rescue dogs who are chihuahua mixes. We make a great pack and a loving family.

When kids play together with friends, it is rather obvious that you wouldn’t leave a rather protective dog with kids alone. Training is crucial in the early days and with a rescue immediate training along, with the love and human protection, the decompression is allowed, but the owners are the Alpha from the start and family and a mutual respect and deep love is formed, but reinforcing the Alpha and training ongoing with regards to stranger interactions and children, who also must respect certain rules themselves.

Rocky, I have to tell ya... this episode made me cry. I could feel the pain that that big, beautiful puppy was enduring after being returned to the shelter. All he wanted was love.. to love & to be loved. I cried because he was given back (like he wasn't able to know someone ELSE didn't want him) and I cried even more when he was adopted by that family. I pray they love that big boy with everything they have cuz I know he's gonna be giving them even more than that. Thank you for all you do.

omg, the expression on Logan's face and the watery eyes, how heart-breaking. I hope in the end he found better, more caring and knowledgeable owners. After being in many unfamiliar places it would be interesting to know how long it takes them to let go of the anxiety of "Can I stay here or do I have to move again?".

I cried through this one. My boy is a giant breed who was discarded and set on fire. When i met him omntje shelter it was clear that he had given up on life. He was emaciated with half his fur birned away. Now hebis fat and happy. He is an amazing nanny dog to smaller dogs and puppies.

My very abused 10 YO took almost 8 mos to even want to sit w/me on the couch. Bit everyday out of fear. Once that milestone was passed, things went much smoother, a lot more quickly. Unfortunately, he got a rare, aggressive cancer from lack of neutering (I had it done, but was warned it could be too little, too late) & Vet care. He was given just 2 weeks, but made it 3 mos! His fighting spirit never left, even trying to attack the Vet! We take solace in knowing that poor little dog finally knew what it was to be loved, not beaten & what a dogs life should have been. It was a long, but too short, 22 mos. 😔❤🐾

Thank you for sharing your love with the doggos!!

My dog is a cane corso rescue -- he is the most loyal, loving dog I have ever known. It's a breed that takes time, commitment and patience, especially if they are a rescue, but the rewards are well worth it. Sometimes this channel is hard to watch -- keep doing the good work Rocky.

The one thing I would wish for everybody is the way you talk and converse with these beautiful puppies.

These animals know where they are and what's happening. Logan has tears in his eyes. Poor baby. I rescued my baby from the shelter. He had so many issues. He was horribly abused. He even had food aggression. It's been almost 3 years and he has come such a long way. He went from food aggression and attacked me the first month I had him, to now free-feeding and sharing a bowl with his brother. I'm so proud of him. It really does take a special kind of patience to help these babies work through their issues and let the dog come through that they really are.

I have a cattle dog x corgi. She was abandoned in an apartment, and then returned to the shelter three times in a year. She looks like a little teddy bear, but it's a working beast. She's hard, and a one person dog who demands partnership rather than a "master". She's the best dog I could want, but it took months with for her to learn to allow herself to love. Now she glows with love and trust.

Corsos make amazing companions! I love mine so much, so sensitive, they are lovable, easy on the house.

Logan’s eyes started to water as soon as you pet him😢

I instantly started to cry when Logan went in to meet dad. Their son will have the best friend ever. I have such a soft spot for Cane Corsos. They are an amazing guardian that thinks before doing anything. And I’m not surprised that Kobe is doing so well with your family. Any dog that crosses your path is always going to have a better life.

People need patience. They need to understand that they need to decompress. So happy Logan finally got adopted ❤

Found your channel by accident, what a great channel, upsetting sometimes as a dog lover, i would want to take them all home.

Oh poor Logan. It makes it that much harder for them to trust when they do end up with a family who will give them the love and care they deserve! We aren't a dog home for a few reasons, but we took in a cat from a shelter who'd been starved and who else knows what. She wasn't quite 2yo when we got her and it took her nearly ten years to trust us fully. We thought her being aloof was just her nature, but there was this blossoming that happened all of a sudden and then she was pretty much a regular, sweet cat, but MAN, ten years of love and care to get there. I actually had people tell me I should give her back, like what the heck?! She would literally never have trusted anyone again.

You can see the shame he feels for being returned, he thinks he messed up some how. You are loved, you are not a mistake 😊 love will find you my sweet angel boy.

I’ve been around dogs my whole life I’m good with dogs and have an interest in their behavior. I have had several rescues and several since 8weeks. Every single rescue that went through trauma once settled in seem to be more eternally grateful than my pups that have never seen a day of hardship.

It's sad that Logan got returned to the shelter, but it looks like he's going home to a loving family!

When I rescued my pup, I also put her in a crate for bedtime, and then immediately saw a panic attack. I had not realized dogs could have panic attacks! I tried to comfort her, but she was so stressed, so I took her out. It took weeks, but now she's the very, very best girl EVER. We learned to trust each other and she learned that she was a part of our family forever.

I adopted a cat once. She was very sad and also very sick, as I discovered a little later. She had been neutered, and the incision had gone septic. When I picked her up, I carried her in my coat to keep her warm. We went through the vet, she had to have another operation to deal with the infection. She pulled through, and we became the best of friends. She was with us for a couple of years before she died. It broke my heart, but it was good to have known her.

I sincerely hope the family is committed and gives him life-long love, caring, and nutritious food!! As for the people that first turned him in, superficial ignorants, but it allowed him to find a, hopefully, good, loving, stable home that he deserves.

They need just as much love and care as the puppies. The thing is, a lot of people want a puppy because he/she is adorable, but man! Puppies are a ton of work! I know from first-hand experience, having raised now three puppies, and soon to be a fourth for service work. I would like to be in a space where I can adopt a senior dog or two or three and give them quality lives until they go.

Its not an easy breed doh. As a dog trainer I dont recomment a cane corso to someone who dont have a lot of space or dont do much exercice. If the energy is not spend, they can be a challenge. Not always ok with smaller animals too... But such a majestic dog! 😊

If you adopt a dog, the moral of the story is to stay home with him all that day and night, and preferably have someone home with him for a while. My mom treated our rescue dogs exactly like a new puppy. She would sleep next to the dog (usually on the couch with the dog on the floor), staying close and calm.

He’s crying! Tears in his eyes. I’ve seen dogs who miss their people cry tears.

People should not take a dog and then return it. Dogs have feelings too. This just breaks my heart. I hope everything works out for him.

Sometimes there are very good reasons for someone bringing an animal back eg if it turns out it just isn't going to get on with other pets in the location. That is sometimes something one just can not know in advance. I used to foster cats for a rescue and a couple of times one of my foster cats was returned due to it turned out someone in the household ended up being allergic to cat.

@rockykanaka I only adopt/rescue!!!! There are so many fur babies in need so going to a breeder, reputable or not would be sinful!!!

My parents adopted a dog (Amber) from a shelter a few months ago and she has PTSD from her previous situation. She is very shy with people and cowers a lot but does well with other dogs. She needed another dog to guide her, luckily we have the best dog to do that (Hannah) who we adopted from a shelter about 9 years ago. Amber needs a lot of patience and love and we are dedicated to giving her the life she deserves. I agree with other comments where you really need to make the commitment. The path forward will have its challenges but as the saying goes, nothing worth having comes easy 💕

I've volunteered for six years with our local humane society in training and behavior, so really appreciate these clips. It is a lot of what I do, and it's true, I get so much more than I give. And I am so so happy when one of the dogs I've worked with gets adopted. I also have experienced the disappointment of a dog being returned. For me personally, adopting a dog is similar to a marriage vow -- in sickness and health, til death do us part.

I literally started crying when I saw Logan again. People are so cruel! And lazy. Nobody wants to take the time to get through it with an animal. I pray he finds a better place than ever❤ as for Daphne’s life, I pray for peace with her. And giving her a name was more than anyone probably has done for her. I love what you’re doing for these guys and the shelter is amazing.

people just don't get that while they may love that dog as soon as they meet it, that dog does not know you, let alone love you. it can take months for a dog to feel comfortable with a person.

How could anyone not love Logan? He's a big, boofy beauty and so gentle.

Poor baby.❤️Needs trust and patience .

I’ve adopted dogs here in Cape Town South Africa, and all the shelters insist on dogs being neutered/ spayed before adoption allowed. They say to stop more unwanted dogs coming into the world. I’m totally in agreement with that.

It truly hurts my heart to hear about Logan, I've grown up with large dogs like him, I had a childhood English Mastiff for 10 years. and currently we've had 2 Euro Danes for 7, with a 3rd one for a few months we fostered. People don't seem to realize just how sensitive those larger breeds are. I happy to see you so passionate to help all these dogs ♥

I’m not saying that in a mean way but don’t adopt if you’re not prepared to allow them to destress and become accustomed to their surroundings and their new family members.

When a dog get's returned, it breaks my heart. My first greyhound was returned twice before I got him and he was a fantastic dog. He live just over 13 years and he was always afraid I was going to give him away, so I hugged him and all was better. Max lost that fear a year before he passed. I was his human for just over 8 years. I miss him something terrible. --All my dogs are rescues, because they need love just as much as I.

My fearful foster dog was returned after just one week because she wasn’t opening up fast enough for them. So I ended up foster failing and adopting her. Best decision I’ve ever made. She really just needed some time, and now she’s the BEST dog anyone could ask for.

Small dogs are rightfully more afraid of humans as they have fewer defenses to the evil humans than do large dogs. Good job @Rocky!

I would take Logan in a minute. But i just rescued my newer masstiff, and i have another as well❤ i hope the perfect family comes along for all the babies there.

Rocky, you restore my fath in men and prove that kindness, love through compassion and a strong moral compass, are truly masculine traits. Thankyou so much: I greatly needed to be reminded that there are amazing men out there. The calm, gentle and consistantly generous spirit you carry is picked up immediately by the dogs. They instantly trust your calm and steady spirit. Keep it up. All the best.

He looks almost exactly like my Cane Corso rescue and I just 😢 He was 9 when we adopted him and he came with good sized lumps visible on his back leg and his head just behind an ear. We had a biopsy done and sure enough... they were cancerous. With his age and the progression of his illness (he had more masses inside of him that we uncovered through an ultrasound or something similar) our treatment options were limited. With advice from our vet we were able to spend a good 2 years and 2 months with him and the sheer joy he expressed on his walks and when he got to play in the snow... I know he was happy to share our home. Big Mike was my first dog (of my adult life) and first rescue, and I could not have asked for a better experience (other than having more time with him). I still feel him watching over me sometimes and I am so thankful for the chance I had to share a home with such a beautiful soul. Corsos are not necessarily the easiest dog and I can't recommend them for everyone, but if you are willing to put in the time and preparation needed to learn their body language and how to manage others approaching them... you will not be sorry.
