Herding dog just likes focusing on movement.

I've been mourning my last dog and had decided that I wasn't doing to be a dog owner anymore. You inspired me to go to my local shelter and adopt a young dog (less than a year) off their forget me not list. He's pretty much spent his whole life in a shelter. He has a lot to learn about the world, but I want to give kudos to the shelter staff and volunteers who clearly gave him a lot of love and attention. He is a happy, sweet guy who is anxious to please and learns quickly. He gets along great with other dogs and loves people - so he must have had plenty of opportunities to meet both. He is an awesome dog and I don't understand why no one picked him before I did (other than black dog syndrome).

I had one that just loved to jump up onto everything to get a good view.

I adopted a 4 year old Aussie in 2020. She had been rescued from a puppy mill and had been used as a breeder dog. She had been certainly neglected, if not abused. All she wanted to do was lay in a corner & be left alone. I gave her time & space, and slowly she started to come out of her corners & lay in the middle of a room (that was a big deal). She quickly learned to LOVE her walks. It took almost a year before she would come to me seeking attention & petting -- up until then she tolerated it, but didn't really want it. Fast foward to NOW: she is a certified therapy dog, LOVES kids, loves going with me everywhere in the car, and is the best companion. She is so gentle and sweet, everyone loves her everywhere we go. Rescue dogs are SO worth the time & effort!!! Please adopt.

1st dog, it's almost like she's there looking for one particular someone....who isn't coming. Each time she jumps up, she's looking.

These dogs are extremely intelligent and one thing for certain is they like to feel that they are in control.

From what little I know about shepherd dog breeds, that is such a typical thing. They are literally bred to keep watch, and "heading to the high ground" must be instinctual whenever they think things aren't 100% okay (even if things are, like being in a safe environment but they don't know it's safe yet). They are so intelligent, too, and I do wonder if they can imagine situations and let their imagination run away with them, particularly if they perceive something to be wrong. I might well be, er, barking up the wrong tree, but they're so smart it wouldn't surprise me!

I agree and my first thought is she is watching for her human. When I adopted a shelter dog, for a long time he was constantly searching from the car window for his previous owner, especially any trucks that he saw. She wants to be sure she doesn't miss her human if he/she walks by.

Paige looks to be an Aussie border collie mix that’s very popular with ranchers and farmers here in rural Tx. They are devoted to their humans and will often be found going everywhere in the ranch vehicles totally untethered. They wait patiently for their return and will not move until released by him/her. Also they are bred to be livestock and people “watchers” and should never be isolated in enclosed environments. It does create confusion and fear. They definitely need a job and inclusion in errand activities around and about town to fulfill their unique breeding attributes.

He was lucky to get to kind and patient you!

Malamutes are amazing. High energy. Tons of love. And really should live in colder climate or one that isn’t all heat year round. They truly do crave the snow and cold. My Malamute was used for breeding and I got the owner to give her to me. She lived the rest of her life on our farm. Free and loved and plenty of snow for her “puppy angels” as I called them. Katie was a beautiful dog.

I’m more of a Cat person, but I don’t think I could have left the shelter without Paige. She is kind of the dog of my dreams. She looks like she has some Border Collie in her, too. A couple of months of TLC and letting her run and work, and be herself in a safe environment, and she will be somebody’s furever fur-baby. Lucky people. 💜🥰🐶 She is a BEAUTY! PS - I bet if the shelter contacted a Humane Society in Canada, there is probably someone waiting for a Malamute in a location like Newfoundland, where they have cold weather 8 months of the year. 👍🇨🇦

That Alaskan Malamute looks like a huge teddy bear the way he just melted into cuddling with you. His face and coloring is absolutely gorgeous. I do know, from someone I knew who used to have one of them is, they are a lot of work. If you keep them in the house you will have a ton of dog hair even if you brush them daily.

Paige reminds me of my first cat. Midnight was a private adoption, which is how I know for a fact she was abused. Midnight took a month to come out from hiding while we were awake. She was the sweetest most loyal cat I had for thirteen years. Even if they don't flip that switch and become confident and loving, it's still so rewarding to see what progress they can make. My bunny Ellie was found abandoned outside. She acts like she knows the world is an inherently dangerous place. There isn't a lot of trust there, even though we have had her for 7 years. And I'll admit I would get down about it sometimes. I just wanted a fluffer who wanted cuddles. But the trust she does show? The joy and comfort? That was hard earned. (And I adopted an old boy from the shelter who adores cuddles, to fill that hole.)

Oh I wish we could adopt that malamute! We have a foot of snow, a sister that owns dog grooms salon , I bathed dogs and a husband that wants a running dog! Plus I love the fur !

I'm so happy their are great dogs lovers out there in the world ,we taken in 15 dog ourselves 20 acres fence in land for them to play in . Yes expensive but well worth it ,from sad dogs to happy loved friends .

MOST important is to make certain that when you pick a dog you can DELIVER their needs. For Malamutes they are so smart, so large and cost plays an issue. These are dogs that need lots and lots of exercise and attention. If you work 9-5 please do not get a dog that you cannot give proper care all of their lives. I adore Mals but could not ever own one due to my inability to work hard to make them happy. I am thrilled he got adopted! Hope they realize they are lucky and also hopefully prepared for their new fam member. The aussie is waiting for someone she knows. Mine always looked out the window when I was gone.

Ranma got right into my heart. We adopted a husky (Archer) back in 2015 and he was a big lover too. He was all of 90 lbs and would crawl up into your lap and just lay there for love and scratches. Unfortunately he developed some spinal issues and he passed several months ago. We miss him dearly.

He needs a playmate and it's the first time I've only had one in almost 30 years. I'm home all day with Bogey and my 2cats. So that's why I wanted Tulip. I'll find someone who needs a mom who's home all day! And has a family owned and run vet clinic! ❤

So excited to see the malamute. I wish I could take him home. They don't come often in the shelters. We had a malamute, German shepherd growing up. Miss her all the time. Everybody knows the doggy in the window song. It's like the first song you learn after Old MacDonald. I thought you had a great fashion sense. I hope Louis and Vuitton get to keep their new names

Huskies are very prey driven and smart. I live next to a field they let over grow, cut, and bale for hay about 2-3 times a year and this causes field mice sometimes. My husky/malamute has caught a few mice that have found their way inside and getting him to drop it is like opening the jaws of life with your bare hands, when I can normally take anything out of his mouth. I have to temp him with a treat to drop it. I've seen him push his food bowl into the middle of the kitchen floor so he could watch and draw one out after he caught one the day before. They're 4 year olds in fur coats.

All of my cats, except one, have been rescues. There is such a difference in the relationships with rescues. They never forget that you saved them from a horrible situation and the love they repay you with is priceless!❤❤❤

We had family friends back in the 60’s who had a rescue dog that I personally believe they saved his life. He was a beautiful German shepherd cross, unfortunately, you could see the marks left by a chain from where he was beaten. He became very attached to the wife as she was with him all the time. It reached the point where if she was out, Wolf (the dog) would come to our house. He would ask to be let in and would wait in our front hall closet for her to come home. Regrettably, he passed away when he was boarded while they would out of the country. He never lost all of his fear.

What a doll the black and white dog is. How could anyone give her up. I'd take her in a minute.

The duo dogs broke my heart. I hope they find a home together.

I send my gratitude to you and your team for what you do for dogs Rocky

Those two dogs in the corner made me cry. I mean, what a good reminder of how beautiful life is and how precious it is. Love is so healing. This is awesome ❤

It warms my heart to see how you connect with these dogs. Like this Australian Shepard in the beginning. She's such a sweetheart and deserves some love. Or that cute puppy. Oh gosh. But that malamute - what a gorgeous dog! He's so friendly and lovely - what is such a dog doing in California? But anyways I really do hope he finds a good and loving home! They all do deserve our love. ❤ I for myself also realized that just being with a dog gives you so much - as a human. Dogs are so loving animals and attach they quickly when you treat them correctly. Thank you for your amazing work. 💛🐶

People get Malinois without understanding the breed. They are high energy, super chewers that need attention and training. They're wonderful, but they need strong guidance from their owners and lots of patience.

My oldest loved to chew on ROCKS! No joke he lost one of his lower canines because he broke it. My youngest who isn’t fixed has a extremely high prey drive. We would go out into the desert to hike and he would chase anything rabbits , coyotes or the house cats (he’s never hurt one).

Thank you so much for doing all you do to help the dogs and pups get adopted out.

The thing about Malamutes and snow dogs generally is they are so different and get returned to shelters repeatedly bc ppl didn't do their research. Tho they often resemble wolves, they are not like wolves. They're very smart, ppl oriented goofballs, often opinionated & hard to train. Also many communicate via language so you have to enjoy verbal discourse. I have to think a sense of humor goes a long way to cohabit with them.

I adopted a 7.5 year old Siberian Husky in 2018, she had trained her previous owners so got a shock when she didn't get away with being aggressive , once she decided I was O.K to be the boss we got on fine, it was touch and go for a few months before that point, very easy to train, now a big soft dog, training went well and I do everything she wants me to

You are giving so much help to these dogs by loosening their fears and givind them some love :) I'm glad people like you exist

I love the little black and white dog. I think she is on the window ledge looking for her owner. ❤️🐾

Some great dogs today. But the malamute pup is absolutely gorgeous. It makes one wonder how a dog like that can end up in a shelter. Someone paid a lot of money for him. Well, I want to wish all of them the best in life. And you too, Rocky.

Watching you take so much care in tending to these beautiful dogs. Your time with Dawn was so heartfelt. The Frosted Faces kennel, well what a marvelous place with such kind owners. ❤️

I cracked up watching this video because you mentioned the song how much is that doggie in the window. Many many years ago my father told me that was the number one song the day I was born in 1953. But the joke was my dad said that’s no dog, that’s my daughter! And we laughed and laughed about that for many years. So when you mentioned that song, it really brought back some fond memories. And that dog is adorable! Thanks for the memories and thanks for what you do.

I just love Paige. She needs lots of hugs and cuddles.

My local dog pound is located right on a walking and bike path that goes for miles with little parks, a river and several fishing ponds. They let you take dogs for walks after getting training in the does and dont's. Until you are a regular you have to leave your drivers license or ID so they know you won't steal the dog's.

I just am so happy to watch what you do and see it give you so much happiness that you and your wife have dedicated so much love to all dogs!!!! Thank you.

My dad just adopted a dog from a local shelter. His background was that he spent 6 yrs as an outside only dog. So we are taking it slow and he is exploring his new house which he never been in before. Experiencing things like groceries being brought in and having other fur siblings.

That sweet malamute seems like she's looking for someone specific. She's not scared of humans; she's just anxious about hers being gone. ❤

Love and appreciate what you do for these lovely souls❤

Thank you Rocky for helping these precious animals.

I love the little ones that were cuddled up together ❤

They are all so precious!!! I want to save all of them!!!

It's so sad, that there are so many wonderful dogs, without a home: I love watching your channel, and seeing the time you spend with them. If I had the space, and means I would definitely adopt a lot of those dogs. We have two dogs a boxer/collie cross, and a Labrador: they are nearly 14 and 7 years old: Rosie and Bonnie. You do an amazing thing; and I'm probably also another weirdo, who knows the song, 'How Much Is The Doggie In The Window '. Thankyou for sharing your videos, and I hope people carry on adopting the lovely rescues, you bring to everyone's attention.❤❤❤

Awesome job Rocky and staffs. So happy to see many adoptions.

Rocky, thank you for bringing attention to the plight of the malenois, another case of people not researching the breed. The malenois needs a job and a lot of training to keep them interested and stop them from becoming bored and destructive. This is an extremely smart breed, but easily gets bored. This is why they make great police and military dogs. People need to understand that if you get a Malenois it shouldn't be your first time dog they need experienced handlers

We are seeing individuals buying working dogs because they look great and our "cute", without realizing what is involved in owning a working dog. It seems that most of the aforementioned dogs in this shelter are working dogs. Dutch Malnois, German Shepherds, Australian Shepherds, and EVERY type of husky are working dogs. They need constant attention and training . They need to be given plenty of exercise.

Rocky, I love you. You’re caring for the orphans is so heart warming.

The black and white doggy … so innocent and so traumatized… this sitting exchange is so precious and so beautiful… just is so hopeful… she will be ok … I hope she finds a new home and she can also get to jump on a window sill just to know that’s her safe space and there is no judgement…. She is gorgeous…

I adopted a dog that had been in the shelter for over two years. It took me another two years of work to be able to get him ready for dog camp. He had a great time. It made all the work worth it.

You are not wierd you have found an amazingly satisfying job to do and your work is worth so much. It’s hard when people take dogs on, but they don’t really “get” them and they leave them psychologically broken. Wish I could adopt but my local adoption centre -Battersea cats and dogs home has apparently already got enough volunteers and I am working full time and can’t have a dog but lovely to watch what you do if you don’t mind

I’ve been binging on your KZreads. It’s addictive because GOOD STUFF IS ADDICTIVE! This shelter is incredible as are you. Thank you. 🍃🌸🍃

We have 3 dogs, 1 cat and 11 chickens. Only 2 can be trusted around our chickens, so we just keep the ladies in a chicken tractor every day so they can get their exercise, dust baths, and access to more grass and bugs. Some dog breeds are just bred for hunting, so i wouldn't expect them to resist the chickens. I am so happy Rosie got adopted out again 💓! I'm rooting for Paige! We have a border collie, a border collie heeler mix, and a boxer beagle mix...two were rescues and we LOVE herding dogs...so intelligent!
