I wanted to address the comments from people who think the dogs are worse off after he leaves because they feel sad or missing him... Imagine being in jail and getting a visit. Everyone feels so much better after. It's just such a nice break for the dog to have some friendly companionship.
Yes! And actually there was a study done that concluded that shelter dogs are measurably happier and more adoptable after only 15 minutes of attention.
Also dogs don't feel like humans do. They don't go long term sadness over one positive interaction. Their whole day is better over one good thing. Only humans brood and feel sorry for themselves even when good things happen to them. We have to go back to treating animals as animals.
i agree. even if they get attached to him and miss him afterwards, they will still remember the great feeling they had and will be more open to the next person, because they might be as nice!
Hey guys, I'm seeing that this adorable pup is still up for adoption on the site. I will be reaching out to try and adopt Odin within the next couple weeks, and driving the 10 hours needed to come get him. Wish me luck!
Yeah, imagine if you were a strange place and there were loud noises and you were afraid. It would be so much more comforting if someone came in there and sat with you until you were ok and told you it was a safe place and there were safe people and they do care.
Humans can be trusted? Well it just started loving a human again and it left them alone....to Odin it very well could be the exact opposite thing. He is left alone again. Just playing devil's advocate...you could very well be right, it is just impossible to know...even humans, one can take a situation the exact opposite in the exact same situation.
@bryankarst3881 Dogs aren't humans. Even if they were, you don't leave a frightened person to suffer alone because they're traumatized. People change therapists, does all the work done with one therapist vanish?
It makes me so sad to hear about all of the critical comments people leave. For God's sake, this is a channel DEDICATED to helping dogs find homes. These people know what they're doing!
Nothing wrong with criticism aslong as it's constructive and Justified it is. However like you're saying in this case it clearly isn't. I totally agree these people clearly know what they're doing. I mean they even pull animals from other shelters , that's guts and dedication right there.
He’s an Alaskan Klee Kai! He is the Standard size. They also come in Miniature and Toy sizes. I have one (A Mini), and they are the sweetest dogs… I can’t believe someone gave him up!
@@faithsmit6839 The foundation breeds of the Alaskan Klee Kai are: Alaskan Husky, Siberian Husky, Schipperke, and American Eskimo Dog. The breed was established in the 70’s in Alaska.
Haters are always looking for a reason to hate. It one is not immediately apparent they will fabricate a reason. The work you do is loving and necessary. You do a great job and your caring is soo obvious. Great job.
How could anybody EVER say ugly things to you!? You are an angel in my book (and look so much like my son who became an actual angel last year). I love how you help these sweet souls!!
I have used this technique soooo many times to attract strays and calmly get them to help. One morning over 2 hrs sitting in a field to help a golden with a badly injured tail and leg. Police, animal control and a few others had no luck ,and the officer thought I was crazy to sit down in middle of a field. But when she walked out on lead with me, they were amazed. You cannot chase a stressed out dog. All of my dogs have been rescues. Time, you must have time. I wish all shelters gave out info on decompression time .
I am 82 now, would so love to have a dog, but could not give it the care that they need. So, I can vicariously experience a little bit of it, by watching you, Sitting With Dogs. Lots of love ❤😊
Here where I live, in Zanesville, Ohio, our Sheriff's office took over the pound, and we now have the Muskingum County Adoption Center. After I lost my beloved Amelia, I finally needed a new companion, and they have a Facebook page, and every time a new dog comes in as a stray, they put them up as a hold, then after a time, they put them available for adoption. I found my Boone there, his picture just stayed with me, and I stopped in spur of the moment to see him. He walked in, barely 6 months old, and came directly to me, put his paws on my knees, and gave me ear kisses. He came home with me that day.
That's beautiful! Happy you found a new friend! Never a replacement, because each dog has their own place in your heart, but like you're beginning a new chapter. Hope you have many happy years together! ❤❤❤
Look what you did for this pup (Odin) . He is so relaxed and comfortable! Oh you do so much good ! I can’t believe the difference in that guy ! I just know he’s going to be someone’s special dog ! My cat Artie is special needs , but He thinks he’s magnificent !, ( no bones in pawa

Odin really responds to happy giggles! Everytime Rocky laughs, Odin's body language & movements look so normal & happy as if he was in a family living room. He is very cute...& alert, as well as receptive to being part of a family!❤
IMPORTANT QUESTION- Hi Rocky, I want to rescue a dog in my area, Florida, I’ve been reluctant. There is mold in my master 1/2 bathroom. I am very allergic to. The bathroom is contained. Allergy pills, and 2 air purifiers have helped me tremendously. Would it be ok to bring a dog into my house. My friends bring their furbabies over with no problem, nevertheless, I’d like your opinion. Thanks a bunch. 🐾❤️🐾
This is literally one of three shows I can watch right now. Our family has been through it these last few months, including losing our beloved black English Lab, Muffin. ( Our little English Muffin) It brings me joy to see such loving outreach to our fur babies. Thank you not only giving them comfort, but me as well.
Odin is such a beautiful dog, he could be the face on a bag of dog food! He is very expressive and love the blue eyes! He definitely felt the love you were giving him! ❤️🐶
Please come to Southwest Florida…we’ve had so many hurricanes causing displaced dogs and the shelter here (Lee County Domestic Animal Services) is a high kill shelter that gets sooooo many dogs they can’t possibly get homes for. We just fostered & saved a beautiful Cane Corso that was to be euthanized about 5 mths ago…such a sweet boy (cuddle bug)…we went through a wonderful rescue & thank goodness we took him in.
I lived in southern California for the majority of my adult life (40 yrs) but I moved back to St. Louis to be with family as I got older. I enjoy your sitting with dogs episodes.
Rocky, I've been watching your channel for a long time and I just showed my Mom a few of your videos. She wanted to buy a dog from a breeder, but your channel convinced her to adopt instead! We picked up a stunningly gorgeous 5 year old Siberian Husky who was huddled in the corner, knowing that she would not likely be picked by anyone else, and we love her to bits! Don't know who would ever possibly want to give up such a well behaved and affectionate dog, but she's ours now and it was all thanks to you and your content. We even got some of your jerky treats to help train her, and they are her favorite! Thank you for spreading the message of adopting dogs, especially the ones who are scared and need a little time to open up to their new family and forever home. We're very grateful for the hard work you do. Also, I just realized I get your videos in my recommended feed all the time, but I'm not subscribed! 🤯 Well, I just fixed that! Cheers!!
Such a strikingly beautiful boy. Odin is a wonderful name for him. Blessings to Lucky too, glad he now has a home. xx I had a dog a long time ago, Toby, who came from a rescue centre here in the UK; we had no idea what mixture of breeds he was. He would really show his teeth with his nose all wrinkled up - looked vicious; but his little tail would be wagging so fast, it wasn't long before we learned he was *so* very happy, that he was actually smiling. Their tails say a lot.
Aww my mum's youngest pup does that! We call it her 'smiles', she bares her teeth when she's excited or knows she's misbehaved but she's the sweetest thing who's happiest cuddled up on your lap. :D
Rocky I've had 12 dogs in my life and I 100% agree with you about letting the dog settle in, feel safe and taking your time before you go in for pets and cuddles. You do the most incredible job with these animals and I am so grateful to you. And that's why I'm a member! 🤗
Odin is gorgeous! I wouldn't be surprised if his doggy relations are Alaskan. I live in the dog mushing community of Two Rivers, Alaska (about 30 miles N/E of Fairbanks) Odin looks like what we call a "village dog" They tend to be smaller than a Siberian Husky. Actually, the smaller husky-mix dogs can run faster and have more stamina for distance. They are the mighty mites of a dogsled team. Odin is exceptionally calm and, yes, so intelligent. Somebody is going to get a top-notch pet if they adopt him. Who can resist that gorgeous face?
@Sandy-p4m yes, I just looked it up. The breed is the Alaskan Klee Kai. It was a breed started in the early 1970s. I had never heard of them before. Apparently, legitimate Klee Kais are very rare and very expensive.
@elsiestormont1366 This dog very well may be a Klee Kai. I was referring to the Seppala Husky. I think there are many breeds of husky. They are so beautiful. I've always wanted one but their characteristics always concerned me with other small animals. They also need a lot of exercise to the point I thought it would be cruel to own one. They love to run so much.
That last gift got me crying 😢 I had to put down my best friend Johnny last year around this time. He was a black and tan Pom with collapsing trachea. He still lived to 15 though!
I love the bright yellow-green color of the kennels. Looks so clean and cheerful. And blankets, and toys. These people take good care of their rescue dogs. Thank you all so much!
I was just about to write how disturbing and annoyng this color is. I feel anxious even watching walls of such a fierce colour. Now, what do the dogs think about it?🤔
@@dorotabarbowska2184Dogs are partially colour blind. They only have two cones in their eyes while humans have three. Dogs can only see blue and yellow not red and green.
15 years ago we adopted a sweet amazing Rottie mix (probably had just a touch of Lab mixed in) who had been in a Maine shelter for more than 4 months. Sweet Bree was somewhere between 2 and 4 years old, and had been found walking on a mountain road, and clearly had had puppies, but none were found. She did not "show well" because she was housed in a tiny cement "cell block" and would bark wildly when people walked by, and scared everyone. The shelter staff was desperate for her to be adopted, and promised she was a sweet girl, dog and cat friendly - and SAFE with humans including kids. They actually brought a kitten out and put it in her face to show us how gentle she was. They also told us a story of how a shelter worker had tripped and fallen over her when she first arrived, and thought their life was over, but she just cowered down and was gentle. We brought her home the same day we visited, and she was an amazing teddy bear of a girl, protecting my daughters who were in elementary school. Lovely girl lived a full life until she finally passed from Cushing's Syndrome. Miss that girl!
What you do achieves so much by sitting with dogs is, it gives them some relief from being scared and not being so nervous. It shows them when someone comes to see them it can be ok and they might not need to hide in the back of the kennel anymore. This helps them. It’s fantastic to hear Lucky finally got his turn for a furever home. He is gorgeous and looks like a great boy. ❤️
What a handsome beautiful boy. I pray you find a wonderful home right away where you'll be loved forever Love the face the expression those ears are wonderful you say it all plus your little heart honey
My daughter and I volunteered for several years for the largest no-kill shelter in AZ. The Arizona Animal Welfare League. They too pull dogs and cats from other shelters statewide. They also care for and adopt out exotics. Love what you do!
I love Odin the adorable mini husky, and he loves that you spent some time with him. Thank you Rocky and team for making a huge difference in animals lives. Your lifesavers and very much appreciated!
Thank you, Rocky, Kelly and Alexis, and thank you for showing us the wonderful Haven Animal Center. I’m so happy to see how much abiding passion the folks that call these sweet animal souls family, have. There’s a special place in heaven over the rainbow bridge for all of you!! Lucky is AWESOME!! I’m so glad he was adopted. And I’m sure that very good boy Odin will have a soft sofa to flop on very soon with someone who loves him. He seems very sweet, attentive, smart, and ready to just go home with someone who will give him wonderful attention and inclusion. And as others have said, pay only as much attention to folks who are critical as you believe is due. Some people truly do care, are worried or concerned, and don’t understand how terse their comments sound. Others…nah…not so much. They may just be unhappy or judgmental and think they know better. Bottom line is they don’t. Keep up the amazing work - it and the improvements of the health and happiness of the fur babies and their adoptions is proof enough that you’re right to do what you do. Love you all! (And my Scandinavian Freyja and Ragnar say “HEJ!!” to their Norse god friend Odin. Thor lives across the street, lol!)
It took dog catchers 6 weeks to catch my little rescue. She was indeed an escape artist who had no fear whatsoever. She’s now 7 and does not run off any more. She is so smart. I only need her to put her toys away after she pulls them out of her toy box. My friend was able to train his half Shepard and half wolf dog to clean up after himself. She was beautiful and the smartest dog I ever met.
LoL 😂 I looked after a Italian greyhound, I put away his toys as I was putting thim in his 🧸 toy basket he'd be getting them back out LoL 🤣 use crack me up. Trying to tidy up and just be getting them all back out again. Think it was a fun game to him lol😂
Rocky, you are a real life super hero! I keep getting sucked into your videos. I have rarely seen this combination of appreciative, positive, knowlegdeable, funny, focused on progress! Keep up your passion! I am from Germany and already have 2 adopted dogs. Have had adopted dogs all my life. ❤
He’s soooo pretty 😍😍😍 I’ve been watching your videos for almost 10 years now. My soul dog passed away about 15 months ago and your videos have been really helpful. Thank you for all you do!!
He looks like a Pomsky. I adopted a Pomsky in Tampa and she was only 7mths old. She was a challenge, but she is such a love now. I hope handsome Odin finds a loving ho.e.
@@taniafontanawe have 2 pomsky he is def a pomsky they are $3000 dogs we have an all white with blue eyes and a brown and black with one blue one b own the best dogs ever
Obviously some of those people don't understand. Dogs need reassurance. Once they feel safe, they will happier and come up front to say hi to others❤❤❤
A graphic artist could use this doggie as a model for drawing Husky characters - he has such balanced even markings - so neat! Good luck boyo! Thanks for saving all the sweet doggies, Rocky, Alexis & everyone in the shelter! ❤❤❤
Thank you for Educating the community. We project our human mindset and feelings on to dogs. Once you get a dog to live in the moment ….you’ve changed the brain….as Cesar always says.
Odin is absolutely stunning! And so intelligent too, you can see that behind his eyes. So so clever. Perfect name for him too, I hope he finds an amazing forever home 🥰
Thanks for all the work you do to help these dogs,We need more people like you. I am old and disabled now, otherwise I would do that too. i used to rescue, rehabilitate and release wildlife plus volunteered in the office and it was just the best time of my life. I miss it terribly.God bless you and all the animal lovers on this channel.❤❤🐕🐶🐶🙏
I love to watch Rocky interact with the various dogs the love of animals shows and how wonderful for the opportunity for not only dogs but also for the public to see how it’s done. ❤❤❤❤
His markings are beautiful. Little raccoon or masked Zoro. All his markings are awesome. Thank you, for understanding. Getting them more sociable and comfortable. Easing their minds and temperament. Most people will not work with the dogs if they are fearful. More adoptable. If something like this happened to me I definitely wouldn’t recover. Dogs bounce back emotionally.
Rocky you are the BEST person - please ignore any negative comments- you help so many dogs and I love watching your videos!! Take care and God bless you and your staff for all y'all do to help these precious dogs! Thanks again, Vicki Lopez 😊
Well hello Gorgeous! 😍 You're so lucky to have Rocky and the shelter on your side. I'll bet the applicants come in droves, knocking down the proverbial door to get you into the fur-ever home of your dreams. You are in the hearts of many without a doubt. 😘
I can’t believe you get negative comment regarding your wonderful work. Thank God for you Rocky and all the other people who work in this field. I can’t thank you enough for what you do for these wonderful fur babies. Jan from Cornwall in UK 🇬🇧
HI, SOʻ SORRY ABOUT YOUR LOSS. I CAN RELATE, I LOST MY 13Y (HAVE HAD FOR 12Y.) CHIHUAHUA, "DOODLES" IN JULY. WOKE UP 1 MORNING, HE WAS IN N HIS BED BUT HAD PASSED. I'M 69. I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW HARD I TOOK , AND STILL AM, BUT NOT SO INTENSE HIS PASSING. I AM CRYIN' RIGHT ALONG WITH, DON'T FEEL ALONE, THERE ARE ALOT OF US. EVERYBODY MOURNS DIFFERENT. TIME IS DIFFERENT. IT DOES LET UP, YOU NEED TIME. ❤PEACE❤ .
Ii think people who comment that you are hurting the dogs are jerks and don't know much about dog behavior and needs of love and attention. This regal baby is great!
Rocky, I know you meant that you make your treats tearable, but it sounded like you said you make your treats terrible. Lol love your channel, love what you’re doing and because of your show I’m looking forward to starting something like this here in Florida. Your Fan, Justin Tennant
It's so wonderful to see rescue dogs being treated with so much love, compassion and understanding. It's beautiful to see them realise they are safe and loved ❤️
Thanks for watching and sharing so we can help find this little guy with a big name a great home ❤🤙
Looks like a purebred Alaskan Klee Kai to me!!! ❤❤❤🐶

No, you are showing the animal there are humans that can be trusted. You are a blessing for these dogs.
My thoughts exactly!
Yesssssss 4 sure
Amen to that.
You're not tricking a dog into trusting you and abandoning them; you're proving to these dogs that people can be trusted and are a source of joy
agree
Yeah, imagine if you were a strange place and there were loud noises and you were afraid. It would be so much more comforting if someone came in there and sat with you until you were ok and told you it was a safe place and there were safe people and they do care.
@CMelon-xe1qc Exactly! It's like teaching a kid math and then expecting them to forget it when they move to another school
Humans can be trusted? Well it just started loving a human again and it left them alone....to Odin it very well could be the exact opposite thing. He is left alone again. Just playing devil's advocate...you could very well be right, it is just impossible to know...even humans, one can take a situation the exact opposite in the exact same situation.

I live in the dog mushing community of Two Rivers, Alaska (about 30 miles N/E of Fairbanks) Odin looks like what we call a "village dog" They tend to be smaller than a Siberian Husky. Actually, the smaller husky-mix dogs can run faster and have more stamina for distance. They are the mighty mites of a dogsled team. Odin is exceptionally calm and, yes, so intelligent. Somebody is going to get a top-notch pet if they adopt him. Who can resist that gorgeous face?
Wow, thanks for sharing 😊
Yes, didn't someone out there create the smaller sled dog?? I forget his name and the breedname used. Beautiful dogs.
@Sandy-p4m yes, I just looked it up. The breed is the Alaskan Klee Kai. It was a breed started in the early 1970s. I had never heard of them before. Apparently, legitimate Klee Kais are very rare and very expensive.
@elsiestormont1366 This dog very well may be a Klee Kai. I was referring to the Seppala Husky. I think there are many breeds of husky. They are so beautiful. I've always wanted one but their characteristics always concerned me with other small animals. They also need a lot of exercise to the point I thought it would be cruel to own one. They love to run so much.
That last gift got me crying 😢 I had to put down my best friend Johnny last year around this time. He was a black and tan Pom with collapsing trachea. He still lived to 15 though!
I really enjoy this channel. I love the interaction.
Odin is such a good boy!!! I love that he knows his name.
Odin is so sweet, smart and beautiful. And he's a terrific SIZE dog too. Small Wolf.❤ I know he'll make someone so happy.
Those eyes are hypnotic. What a beautiful/handsome dog.
I'm glad there is a filter on the audio now. because now I can watch the videos on speakers without my dog freaking out 😆♥
Odin what a sweetheart ❤❤❤😊😊😊
Majestic,he needs Love and cuddles!!!❤❤❤❤
Odin is so precious and what a sweetheart. Hope someone comes soon to give him his forever home ❤❤❤
I love the bright yellow-green color of the kennels. Looks so clean and cheerful. And blankets, and toys. These people take good care of their rescue dogs. Thank you all so much!
I was just about to write how disturbing and annoyng this color is. I feel anxious even watching walls of such a fierce colour. Now, what do the dogs think about it?🤔
@@dorotabarbowska2184 Lol, I was ready to say this as well, chartreuse is a color you should never use too much of, less is better.
I love it too! such a happy color!
@@chowter Just curious, are you an artist?
@@dorotabarbowska2184Dogs are partially colour blind. They only have two cones in their eyes while humans have three. Dogs can only see blue and yellow not red and green.
I love this boy! He's beautiful and quiet. His size is perfect!
15 years ago we adopted a sweet amazing Rottie mix (probably had just a touch of Lab mixed in) who had been in a Maine shelter for more than 4 months. Sweet Bree was somewhere between 2 and 4 years old, and had been found walking on a mountain road, and clearly had had puppies, but none were found. She did not "show well" because she was housed in a tiny cement "cell block" and would bark wildly when people walked by, and scared everyone. The shelter staff was desperate for her to be adopted, and promised she was a sweet girl, dog and cat friendly - and SAFE with humans including kids. They actually brought a kitten out and put it in her face to show us how gentle she was. They also told us a story of how a shelter worker had tripped and fallen over her when she first arrived, and thought their life was over, but she just cowered down and was gentle. We brought her home the same day we visited, and she was an amazing teddy bear of a girl, protecting my daughters who were in elementary school. Lovely girl lived a full life until she finally passed from Cushing's Syndrome. Miss that girl!
Sounds like what happened my dog.
What a beautiful boy! He looks like he will be so happy to have his own family ❤
How can anyone not fall in love with Odin? He is a beautiful sweetheart ❤
Thank you Haven, for using your shelter, to take the pressure off other shelters; that's amazing. Hope this beautiful boy finds his forever home.
What you do achieves so much by sitting with dogs is, it gives them some relief from being scared and not being so nervous. It shows them when someone comes to see them it can be ok and they might not need to hide in the back of the kennel anymore. This helps them.
It’s fantastic to hear Lucky finally got his turn for a furever home. He is gorgeous and looks like a great boy. ❤️
What a handsome beautiful boy. I pray you find a wonderful home right away where you'll be loved forever Love the face the expression those ears are wonderful you say it all plus your little heart honey
What a lovely boy
My daughter and I volunteered for several years for the largest no-kill shelter in AZ. The Arizona Animal Welfare League. They too pull dogs and cats from other shelters statewide. They also care for and adopt out exotics. Love what you do!
Wow,awesome!!! Thank you for all your love,service to the precious animal critters!!!🫶🥰🐶🤎🫂☮️
I love Odin the adorable mini husky, and he loves that you spent some time with him. Thank you Rocky and team for making a huge difference in animals lives. Your lifesavers and very much appreciated!
Thank you, Rocky, Kelly and Alexis, and thank you for showing us the wonderful Haven Animal Center. I’m so happy to see how much abiding passion the folks that call these sweet animal souls family, have. There’s a special place in heaven over the rainbow bridge for all of you!!
Lucky is AWESOME!! I’m so glad he was adopted. And I’m sure that very good boy Odin will have a soft sofa to flop on very soon with someone who loves him. He seems very sweet, attentive, smart, and ready to just go home with someone who will give him wonderful attention and inclusion.
And as others have said, pay only as much attention to folks who are critical as you believe is due. Some people truly do care, are worried or concerned, and don’t understand how terse their comments sound. Others…nah…not so much. They may just be unhappy or judgmental and think they know better. Bottom line is they don’t. Keep up the amazing work - it and the improvements of the health and happiness of the fur babies and their adoptions is proof enough that you’re right to do what you do. Love you all! (And my Scandinavian Freyja and Ragnar say “HEJ!!” to their Norse god friend Odin. Thor lives across the street, lol!)
Something Great you do for These Dogs 😂🎉
He is stunningly gorgeous! So sad to see him got abandoned.
Odin you are beautiful ❤❤ such a good boy❤❤
It took dog catchers 6 weeks to catch my little rescue. She was indeed an escape artist who had no fear whatsoever. She’s now 7 and does not run off any more. She is so smart. I only need her to put her toys away after she pulls them out of her toy box. My friend was able to train his half Shepard and half wolf dog to clean up after himself. She was beautiful and the smartest dog I ever met.
LoL 😂 I looked after a Italian greyhound, I put away his toys as I was putting thim in his 🧸 toy basket he'd be getting them back out LoL 🤣 use crack me up. Trying to tidy up and just be getting them all back out again. Think it was a fun game to him lol😂
Would take him right now. How beautiful. Great Work!
Rocky, you are a real life super hero! I keep getting sucked into your videos. I have rarely seen this combination of appreciative, positive, knowlegdeable, funny, focused on progress! Keep up your passion! I am from Germany and already have 2 adopted dogs. Have had adopted dogs all my life. ❤
He’s soooo pretty 😍😍😍 I’ve been watching your videos for almost 10 years now. My soul dog passed away about 15 months ago and your videos have been really helpful. Thank you for all you do!!
I'm sorry. I know how hard that is and am glad you are here right now.
Isn’t he a pomsky?
He looks like a Pomsky. I adopted a Pomsky in Tampa and she was only 7mths old. She was a challenge, but she is such a love now. I hope handsome Odin finds a loving ho.e.
He does look like a Pomsky!
@@taniafontanawe have 2 pomsky he is def a pomsky they are $3000 dogs we have an all white with blue eyes and a brown and black with one blue one b own the best dogs ever
Yes! I have a Pomsky (in my profile pic) and he’s definitely a pomsky! Very beautiful dogs.
Obviously some of those people don't understand. Dogs need reassurance. Once they feel safe, they will happier and come up front to say hi to others❤❤❤
A graphic artist could use this doggie as a model for drawing Husky characters - he has such balanced even markings - so neat! Good luck boyo! Thanks for saving all the sweet doggies, Rocky, Alexis & everyone in the shelter! ❤❤❤
Omgosh he’s gorgeous!!! I wish I could have him!!
Thank you for Educating the community. We project our human mindset and feelings on to dogs. Once you get a dog to live in the moment ….you’ve changed the brain….as Cesar always says.
What a beautiful dog - those eyes melt my heart 🥰 !! I miss my Husky- Shepherd😢.
I guess Odin is a Husky-Shepherd.
I think that is the mix on Oden
Klee Kai. 😀
❤❤❤
Pomsky
Odin is absolutely stunning! And so intelligent too, you can see that behind his eyes. So so clever. Perfect name for him too, I hope he finds an amazing forever home 🥰
Husky mix.......beautifully marked and very pretty blue eyes. The green walls!!!!
Thanks for all the work you do to help these dogs,We need more people like you. I am old and disabled now, otherwise I would do that too. i used to rescue, rehabilitate and release wildlife plus volunteered in the office and it was just the best time of my life. I miss it terribly.God bless you and all the animal lovers on this channel.❤❤🐕🐶🐶🙏
Rocky you are so kind to be helping this dog.
Such an adorable face he has 😊
Such an expressive face!
Beautiful doggy. ❤ He's really paying attention to your movements and your voice. He's smiling as she read his bio!
I love to watch Rocky interact with the various dogs the love of animals shows and how wonderful for the opportunity for not only dogs but also for the public to see how it’s done. ❤❤❤❤
His markings are beautiful. Little raccoon or masked Zoro. All his markings are awesome. Thank you, for understanding. Getting them more sociable and comfortable. Easing their minds and temperament. Most people will not work with the dogs if they are fearful. More adoptable. If something like this happened to me I definitely wouldn’t recover. Dogs bounce back emotionally.
I like Zoro better than Odin😂.
I love that you spend time with these dogs! I am a huge dog lover and my heart breaks when they are hurting. Thanks for doing this!
Agree!!!🫶🫶🫶💖💖💖💖
Odin is so handsome. What a sweet boy! Hopefully he finds his forever home soon.
Rocky you are the BEST person - please ignore any negative comments- you help so many dogs and I love watching your videos!! Take care and God bless you and your staff for all y'all do to help these precious dogs! Thanks again, Vicki Lopez 😊
Future movie star. Odin is stunning. 🎉😂❤
Well hello Gorgeous! 😍 You're so lucky to have Rocky and the shelter on your side. I'll bet the applicants come in droves, knocking down the proverbial door to get you into the fur-ever home of your dreams. You are in the hearts of many without a doubt. 😘
You are so right about needing to let the dog move towards being touched rather than forcing him! Thank you for your wisdom👏
You're not a jerk, Rocky .... ignore the haters. Keep up the good work !!!
It saddens me that people are saying bad things about you. You are amazing!
Ignore the keyboard warriors! We look forward to every one of these episodes 🇨🇦🇮🇹. Love from Italy
Rocky is so wonderful. Oh my gosh. That means some are jealous of ROCKY.
@@littleme3597 of course they are
❤❤❤
Rocky, thank you so much for all the love, appreciation and rehabilitation you give to these dogs!
STUNNING looking dog.
I just looked up Klee Kai and there is a picture of one of them that looks just like Odin❤️ I am praying he gets adopted soon💕🐾
Yes! I just looked that breed up and he looks just like one. Awesome.
Not a Klee Kai. They’re much smaller than this.
@nikidavis8118 Klee Kai dad here, Odin is not one I have videos of my girl on YT
I can’t believe you get negative comment regarding your wonderful work. Thank God for you Rocky and all the other people who work in this field. I can’t thank you enough for what you do for these wonderful fur babies.
Jan from Cornwall in UK 🇬🇧
My goodest boy Pono went to the rainbow bridge last night. Watching this with beautiful Odin comforts me. You are my people 💜

My prayers for you
RIP sweet Pono ❤️🤙

He is beautiful!!! And how about those eyes, Wow. I would take him if I could. Prayers for the right person to adopt him. An amazing dog 🐕 ❤❤❤❤
Ii think people who comment that you are hurting the dogs are jerks and don't know much about dog behavior and needs of love and attention. This regal baby is great!
He is gorgeous. Reminds me of my Siberian Husky I had as a teenager. So smart and beautiful.❤
I love him… so handsome ❤❤❤ Thank you Rocky❤❤
Rocky, I know you meant that you make your treats tearable, but it sounded like you said you make your treats terrible. Lol love your channel, love what you’re doing and because of your show I’m looking forward to starting something like this here in Florida. Your Fan, Justin Tennant
I sure want to know more about the 5 sibling Yorkies. Please keep us informed.❤❤😊
It's so wonderful to see rescue dogs being treated with so much love, compassion and understanding. It's beautiful to see them realise they are safe and loved ❤️
