Thank you everyone who has signed up to be a member to help this sweet girl and be a part of the best dog rescue loving community 🐶🙏❤ And from my family to yours Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Kelli's work behind the camera is so important. She's really a superhero for how quickly she was able to coordinate care for this sweet itchy girl eta: merry Christmas to you and yours, as well.
I applied to adopt Stella!! We lost our white lab, Buster, in February and i was devastated. He was almost 10yrs old. We have no other pets, my kid is in college, we have a big backyard and go on walks every day. And I live about an hour away from where she is! It's kinda perfect! I hope it works out, I am awating a reply from the pet center so we can visit her. Thank you for sitting with her and Valentina! I watched your video this morning and now I'm hoping I can have a dog again! Thank you! Thank you so much! ❤️ FINAL UPDATE: I did not get Stella after all. I called the pet center, and by then Stella had received MANY applications and had gotten adopted by another loving family! SHE WAS HOME FOR CHRISTMAS, just like Rocky wanted!! And that made me super happy! I appreciate all the well wishes and love sent my way and Stella's way, I was overwhelmed, in a good way! I read every comment, thanks for rooting for me! What a wonderful community, I appreciate all of you! 🥰💕 Sending love to every single person here, have a wonderful 2025! 💕
@elizabethcarhart9064 ☝️☝️☝️ THIS. There needs to be a national registry for abuse so that monsters who do it (they need to be criminally charged first and foremost which is its own problem) will be reported to a national registry that rescues, shelters, etc. can check, so they're re aware and don't adopt to them!
She’s a Bouvier. I have one . They are the best and it is the breed standard to be docked and cropped. They were used in combat in WW1. They are amazing resilient dogs. Prayers for Valentina.
Yes!!! I kept yelling "She's a Bouvier!!!!" Beautiful dogs. And definitely normal for docked ears and tails to prevent medical issues. My bestie had 2 growing up! Would love to have one myself!
We adopted a poor, sad Bouvier (no docked ears or tail) but she wouldn't move or eat. She came to our home and with the other dog, and our two cats, she slowly began to perk up. We think she was over 10 yrs old when we got her and we kept her to 5-6 mores years. She was so sweet! We miss you Lady!
For some treats & the tiniest bit of help with her care. If she's available, OUR FAMILY WILL TAKE HER! We live in the suburbs of NJ and will pay for transport. I'm a disabled retired firefighter/EMT who has an awesome wife who is a school teacher. I'm home with our 13 year old Maltese-Poodle 24x7 and we have nothing but time & love to give to Valentina. You are truly doing amazing work.!!
Bless you and your family so much. You are so sweet to want her no matter what. I hope you get the chance to love Valentina!! ❤❤ Thank you for offeringbto step up! 💙🩷❤️🐕💙🩷❤️🦴 Merry🎄Christmas ✨️ to you and your family!! 🩷💜🩵🥰😍🥰🤩😍🥰🤩🤟 💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️
Your family sounds just perfect. Your own life experience has given you wisdom, compassion, empathy and the exact qualities befitting a caregiver for Valentina. May God bless you and your family henceforth. ❤❤🙏🐶
Thank you so much. Will keep everyone updated as soon as Valentina is done healing and ready for adoption. Will likely be a few months. For Stella she is ready!
What a beautiful gesture, Kingsbridge. The animal control officers get a bad rap, and clearly they love the animals deeply. This was a crucial rescue. Thank you. ❤
Cropping ears and tails are banned in the UK and for good reason....cutting bits of a dog for fashion is a disgrace. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving this beautiful deserving dog
It's Not Always for "fashion" though. Some dogs with sleek coats and whip like tails end up with what is known as "Happy tail disease." where they bang their tails with little or no padding, on things and it causes them to have bruises or cuts that they don't have good enough circulation to heal properly. They get infections, and they end up loosing their tail anyway. The same with Droopy ear dogs and yeast infections. Except that the Dog can end up DEAF. There Are Good Reasons to Crop and Dock. But Not Every Dog.
Mostly that's not true..the ears: cockers suffer often and badly from infections with their extrem long ears..no cropping. But dobermans have floppy but shorter ears, there is enough air flow.when it was forbidden in Germany everyone said these arguments. The poor dogs will suffer!! It's really, really rare that they have problems with their tail, I don't know any dog.and everyone got used to dobermans with floppy ears.the problems you speak of just never appeared
@@VelvetDraginflypeople got always an stupid argument to cut off tails and ears when a vet doesn’t diagnosed ear or tail infections that can cause more health problems. So, cutting off, not knowing the dog got an infection or develop one, is cruel. Most dogs are born with floppy ears, an ear infection is an health issue but not when you clean the ears. For the tail the same. As long a vet doesn’t diagnosed something is wrong. It is cruel. Most people do it for the fashion and got louzy arguments that it is a health thing…. Dogs are born like they are born. It is nature because the tail and ears got a function for communication. Some dogbreeds got more chance to get an eye infection. Because of that, dogs getting blind. But I never heard that people make their dog blind when they are youngh to prevent it. So cutting off ears and tails will always be a fashion statement when their ears and tails got cropped when they are young. Not because prevent it because a vet Saïd to must do. there are more dogs with floppy ears and long tails who doesn’t get health issues. So, yes sometimes it is an health issue, but 95% is is not. Beside that. It always are the bully breeds, Dobermanns and Rottweilers…. I Never seen a Labrador, GSD or you name it…. With cropped ears and tails. As long it isn’t illegal in some countries…. Dogs Will suffer and losse their personality because people crop ears and tails because off a fashion statement. In my country it is not allowed. So please stop saying it is an health issue, when people use this as an agument to legal cropped ears and tails of dogs. When a vet doesn’t diagnosed that. And again. Yes dogs got infections. Not only ears and tail infections. Also Eye or skin. First the vet always be give medicines, therapy or other advice. Ever had a docter that says to his client to cut your fingers off because of an infection to prevent worse….. or amputate your whole leg because of an infection on your toe? Cut of bodyparts only necassery when cause more problems. Same for dogs….
@@VelvetDraginfly I don't know who told you all this but it's a load of old garbage! Old English Sheepdogs were always docked because of Strike Fly but actually they use their tails to brush off the flies. Mine did injure her tail a couple of times wagging it madly, but it was treated immediately and she never had any serious problems. My other OES, who's tail had been docked before we got him, had no end of problems with his bum because he couldn't move his stump out of the way when he pooed!
@lizadedeaux I saw that too. She laid down as close to him as she could that *felt safe* for her. Her spirit is broken for all she's been through, yet her heart and soul feel without a doubt that Rocky is the only one she will truly let her guard down to. She can feel his love and compassion for her through his body energy, facial expression, voice tone and touch. She was comforting him too. It's the Poodle part of her, they are very sensitive to all that I mentioned. I know from having a beautiful girl that she exhibited all of that. What a beautiful Angel she is. Praying for this gorgeous girl to heal and one day have a forever home and family who treasure her. This sweet Angel absolutely deserves it. 🙏❤
I’m watching Rocky getting upset and the Dog gets empathetic and gets close to him to try to console him. That dog has a heart of pure gold. Compassion AND action, words to live by.❤❤❤
For sweet Valentina's vet bills. I will take her in a heartbeat, if she can be transported to Florida. She's definitely a Bouvier des Flanders puppy, based on her appearance and her cropped ears and tail.
When Rocky sat down next to her, and it looked like he was struggling a bit, I thought it was so sweet the way she immediately went to lay down next to him...almost like she sensed he needed comfort.
Also Stella is so much like my boys were - true Lab food focus. Such a crap situation she's stuck in, hopefully she ends up in a house that wants her. And yeah, those big floppy Lab ears are ear problem magnets... and they do get very sore very quickly even if it isn't a full-fledged infection yet
Sincere and heartfelt condolences. Losing dogs is losing unconditional love. Making a donation to help other dogs is heartwarming. Sending good thoughts your way. 💜💙
My heart aches for you in your loss. I had dogs all my life until 5 years ago. None of them ever died of old age. A dog is the most special creature on earth
I would have had to step out, had a significant cry, and then sat with her after I pulled myself together. God bless her, you, and all you do. Edit: PS, dear friends and fellow pet lovers, this is in Pesos, not dollars. XOXOX
The older I get, the more I despise some humans for their lack of responsibility, decency, compassion, empathy, etc. when it comes to animals. No animal deserves this. Valentina is a beautiful dog and deserves a beautiful family. I hope that her healing process is quick and swift so she can find a great new home.
I’m in the same mindset. 💔 57 & honestly I fear for the majority of humanity. As a species, we use them. For entertainment, for drug & treatment testing, etc.. we never ask permission, we never put ourselves in their shoes as living beings. I can’t imagine what this poor pup has been through. It breaks me.
She, like all animals, deserves a happy, healthy life, and to know only kindness from humans. I hope she can fully recover and forget all the bad days soon. Thanks to all the shelter staff and Rocky’s crew for being willing to help.
😢😢So very sad and gut-wrenching to see the condition of Valentina, her owners need to be found and arrested! Thank-you Rocky & Kelly for getting her the immediate medical attention she needed. Valentina means “strong, healthy”…she definitely is showing the strength to continue on, 🙏🏻 that she will be much healthier soon! ❤️🐶
I'm not that forgiving. Sure put the ex-owners in jail. In the same condition Valentina is in now. Without help. And let's all take care Valentina and find her a new loving home.
You are an angel to help this loving innocent dog. I wish I could match your donation to help her. Glad she fell into the loving, caring arms of these people.
The only giant schnauzer I have ever seen in real life was one of the most regal and awesome dogs I have ever been around. I hope one day she ends up just like that.
Take care of yourself, your fam, and your canine friends. Thanks for giving this fluff some time to assess and see what might be possible. I hope all good things are possible; its brave work to try. Went and updated my Flip coffee supply for the new year.
Oh my goodness. This is so terrible to see. What is wrong with people! The abuser of this poor baby should be locked up 😢 Wishing this beautiful girl a speedy recovery and hope that a wonderful, loving forever family come forward to collect this beautiful girl soon. ❤❤
A little goes a long way if enough people chip in ❤️ what you said about Bean costing $40k and that people say you could help so many other dogs for that amount… how does one measure the value of a life? Bean is worth every penny and more ❤️ Thank you for fighting for these dogs no matter the cost and thank you for letting us be a part of it ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 It’s heartbreaking seeing the condition Valentina is in, but my heart feels a little lighter knowing she’s in your care now and that you will do everything in your power to help her towards a happy and healthy life 🥹❤️🩹 Get well soon, sweet Valentina ❤️
Exactly. Back when my husband had money we spent 30k on our dogs healthcare and it extended his life for several years. TBH, It should never have cost that much. My husband passed away awhile back and I could never afford that now for an animal. It's insane how people really can't afford to have pets these days. My dog now is 14. Not sure if I'll get another after he passes. It will all depend on my finances. I don't want to take a pet if a bad situation happens and I can't afford it.
@@Sandy-p4m...I adopted a new rescue about 7 mo ago. 3 mo later she sliced her leg accidentally, $2000 emergency bill, then 2 no later she wouldn't eat one morning & I took her to emergency because I knew something was wrong, she had something stuck in her small intestine ...turned out to be part of a rope toy I disposed of 3 months prior...$11,000. I do not have that kind of money, & I have another dog. But what are you to do ... she is a year old & came from a horrible neglect/abuse situation...no way I could let her die. Not can I deal with another bill of thousands, so I got her health insurance. Wish I did it after the first situation!
I wish I could send you a thousand times this amount. Valentina is a sweet little soul, deserving of all that we can possibly do to make her well. I would love to give her a home, but I live way too far way. So I’ll look forward to updates to bring gladness to know she is in a loving home. ❣️
What a wonderful gift to help Valentina. She deserves a totally new life with a sensitive and loving family. Your generous gift will certainly help her❤
I'm in tears! We got a shelter dog a few months ago, and there's no doubt he was abused as a baby because he's petrified of ppl.. My heart is melting for her
Wow! Just breaks my heart about Valentina, also sad to hear about Stella! I hope they both fine their forever, loving home. Thank you to the dog officer, the shelter, Kelly, and you Rocky. I am a cat person, but no matter cat, dog, rabbit, etc no animal deserves to be abused, abandon. They all deserve love and care!
Whoever gets to be Valentina's furever family will be the luckiest humans ever. She is such a sweetie! You can tell she will be gorgeous once she's cleaned up and has had time to heal. Hugs from Santa Barbara. We love you Valentina!
For Valentina ❤ Thank you for helping her-how can something so terrible happen ? I am so sorry for her, but thanks to you, everything is going to be better ❤ Thank You !!
so many people NEED to OWN a dog. Not enough people want to RAISE and LOVE their dogs. it makes me so sick that people can abandon these wonderful animals for shallow reasons.
So sad for Stella. Seems this sweet girl got the short end of the stick WITH an ear infection to boot.😢 I so hope she finds her forever family very soon. It's obvious she misses "family."🤗❤❤❤❤
Valentina found her savior, there is a special place in heaven reserved for you Rocky and your wife, hope you have the best Christmas ever, God bless and take care of you both.
She reminded me of the dog I adopted yesterday. I took her straight from the shelter to my vet and groomer. It took the groomer 7-1/2 hours to get all the walnut to golf ball size mats off of her, bathe her and clip her disgustingly long nails. She groomed off 50% of the dog's weight in mats. Even the chip info was similar. Her first owner died and the second owners just kind of vanished. She was picked up as a stray. It's heartbreaking. My fur-baby (Ladybug) is 16yo. But however much time she has left will be in a warm bed, with a full stomach and all the love she can stand.
Thank you for giving Ladybug the best Christmas present!! I've adopted seniors, and it's always so wonderful. I may not have had them for a long time, but I love knowing that the end of their lives were spent in a loving safe home, where they were given the life they deserved. Both you and Ladybug will be so happy and grateful for the time you spend together.❤️❤️
Rocky, you are such a sweet soul. Thank God for people like you. I'm 73 in two weeks and I wish I had known about rescuing animals in my youth (didn't hear of it) instead of wasting the best years of my life in an office cubicle. I've adopted rescued dogs and from breeders, and the rescued ones have a special place in my heart.
I hope this pup has a speedy recovery! Thank you for all you do, Rocky! Kudos to everyone who has donated. Even if you can't donate, watching these videos helps the animals! 🩷
@@fivenine2 I also encourage others to help with your local shelter, donating, going to walk the dogs, we take food and treats for the dogs and I said this before the kitty lady (she had Hello Kitty scrubs on) saw us unloading our dog food and said "Our kitties need cat food, kitten food, milk replacement powder for nursing kittens and nursing kits) so back to Walmarts we go to buy that and take them back to the shelter along with cat toys. You can search your local shelter online and share "available pets". Ours is a county shelter but we have budgeted this.
We have a male that we rescued from the shelter, they were going to put him down because of his size, because no one would take him. He is a beautiful dog, looks a lot like her, but his ears have not been cropped. I think that's terrible... He was around nine months old when we got him, so pretty much still a puppy. He has turned out to be an awesome dog, I love him so much, he's a big goofy boy, and I wouldn't change him or ever get rid of him, he has brought me so much happiness and love, he'll never be alone again... I pray she gets better and can have a new loving forever home!! No animal deserves to be put in that situation, poor baby girl...
I used to groom a Bouvier named Seraphina who looked just like Valentina, cropped ears and all. Unfortunately, she was always nasty and matted because her owners only got her groomed once a year, with no baths or brushing in between. They also only fed her raw ground beef, which may be healthy idk, but it made her breath stink and teeth rot. She was always SO SWEET, it broke my heart everything I saw her.
You are so right, I knew she looked familiar, I had a friend once who had one of those dogs. How in the H@ll does of a dog of that breed end up in this situation. They are not exactly inexpensive dogs. I tell my cat all the time that people SUCK. I can't have a dog where I currently live, but I long for the day when I can get a dog. Rocky, you and your team are angels.
I think that the family for the lab mix is in the wrong. Your dog has an infection, and it causes a reaction, and their automatic response is to give the dog away. That is just wrong.
Thank you everyone who has signed up to be a member to help this sweet girl and be a part of the best dog rescue loving community 🐶🙏❤ And from my family to yours Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Merry Christmas to you Rocky, your family and all the beautiful pups ❤. May they all find the loving homes they deserve x
Kelli's work behind the camera is so important. She's really a superhero for how quickly she was able to coordinate care for this sweet itchy girl
eta: merry Christmas to you and yours, as well.
Merry Christmas to everyone who helps these dogs,hopefully the next year will be better for dogs ,staff and Rocky and family .❤
Awesome thank you for taking her to a vet .... Yous are my kind of people. Animals have unconditional love! ❤
Merry Christmas ❤

You, are an absolute awesome human being!!!!! Salute to you my friend!
🙏👍🏾💪🏻🩷
You, are awesome!!!!
You are a hero and great human I have not ever ment someone as awsome as you
There needs to be stricter laws for animal abuse . Abusers should be put in jail and never be allowed to get another fur baby.
@elizabethcarhart9064 ☝️☝️☝️ THIS. There needs to be a national registry for abuse so that monsters who do it (they need to be criminally charged first and foremost which is its own problem) will be reported to a national registry that rescues, shelters, etc. can check, so they're re aware and don't adopt to them!
I understand your sentiments...
Jail time and big fines!! 😢
You're absolutely right!!!
No words for abusers !
She’s a Bouvier. I have one . They are the best and it is the breed standard to be docked and cropped. They were used in combat in WW1. They are amazing resilient dogs. Prayers for Valentina.
Yes!!! I kept yelling "She's a Bouvier!!!!" Beautiful dogs. And definitely normal for docked ears and tails to prevent medical issues. My bestie had 2 growing up! Would love to have one myself!
Yes I came here to say she’s a bouvier des flanders. Beautiful dogs!! I hope she gets better soon
That's what I kept saying - she's a Bouv !!!!! We have had 2. They are the BEST !!!
Definitely a Bouvier. I had a blond one for 16 years!
We adopted a poor, sad Bouvier (no docked ears or tail) but she wouldn't move or eat. She came to our home and with the other dog, and our two cats, she slowly began to perk up. We think she was over 10 yrs old when we got her and we kept her to 5-6 mores years. She was so sweet! We miss you Lady!
For some treats & the tiniest bit of help with her care. If she's available, OUR FAMILY WILL TAKE HER! We live in the suburbs of NJ and will pay for transport.
I'm a disabled retired firefighter/EMT who has an awesome wife who is a school teacher. I'm home with our 13 year old Maltese-Poodle 24x7 and we have nothing but time & love to give to Valentina.
You are truly doing amazing work.!!
Bless you and your family so much. You are so sweet to want her no matter what.

Thank you so much. Will keep everyone updated as soon as Valentina is done healing and ready for adoption. Will likely be a few months. For Stella she is ready!
@@lindanichols125God bless everybody. It's easy to wish a blessing on nice people but often it's our enemies that need the blessings too.
This sweet girl needs all of our love and prayers. Her little black nose is the perfect part of her little face right now.
Thank you and I agree. She's perfect.
💪🏻👍🏾🙏🩷
Thank you for your love.
Thank you for your kindness! You're awesome. ❤❤❤

We need LEGISLATIVE reform to stop puppy mills, backyard breeding, dog fighting, neglect and on and on.
It’s there. This is probably not a breeding operation. Someone probably paid a lot of money for her.
EXACTLY
Yup
100% agree!
Looks like a Bouvier
Please help Valentina with her vet bills
This donation for Valentina honors the animal control officer who rescued her. ❤
Bless you for helping out, FOR STEPPING UP! ❤❤❤
🙏👍🏾💪🏻🩷
What a beautiful gesture, Kingsbridge. The animal control officers get a bad rap, and clearly they love the animals deeply.
This was a crucial rescue.
Thank you. ❤
Thank you for your generosity.
You are a good person 😭😭😭
I wish that I could help more. I don't understand why people who do not love, care and understand pets take them.
Thanks! For Valentina’s medical bills. Rocky, you and your wife and team are Angels on Earth !
GOD BLESS YOU BACK!THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS!❤❤️✝️🙏🏼⚖️🐾
You are wonderful!
I think she is a Bouvier. My immediate thought.
Turns out its a race that origins a region i used to live ( Flanders)
I have no money so I want to thank you for donating...

That is the exact thought i had also. It made me cry immediately. Such a sweet soul.

Here is another one from us! I hope you find a good use for Valentina's recovering!
For sweet Valentina's vet bills. I will take her in a heartbeat, if she can be transported to Florida.
She's definitely a Bouvier des Flanders puppy, based on her appearance and her cropped ears and tail.

GOD BLESS YOU BACK!THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS!❤❤️✝️🙏🏼⚖️🐾
This is my first Christmas without my dogs (lost them to old age), hopefully this can help other dogs
Also Stella is so much like my boys were - true Lab food focus. Such a crap situation she's stuck in, hopefully she ends up in a house that wants her. And yeah, those big floppy Lab ears are ear problem magnets... and they do get very sore very quickly even if it isn't a full-fledged infection yet
Sincere and heartfelt condolences. Losing dogs is losing unconditional love. Making a donation to help other dogs is heartwarming. Sending good thoughts your way. 💜💙
My heart aches for you in your loss. I had dogs all my life until 5 years ago. None of them ever died of old age. A dog is the most special creature on earth
I would have had to step out, had a significant cry, and then sat with her after I pulled myself together. God bless her, you, and all you do.
Edit: PS, dear friends and fellow pet lovers, this is in Pesos, not dollars. XOXOX
wowzers trousers, Thankyou for helping her, Merry christmas from lozzy UK x
Same, I had to come back after a cry.
OMGosh! BLESS YOU SO MUCH!! THANK YOU! 😊
@Lozzy64I have never heard "wowsers trousers" before! I am going to use that! TOTALLY!!
Thank you for the smile❤❤❤❤
@Lozzy64 Y'all are so cute. It's pesos, I live in México. But this girl certainly captured my heart. Merry Christmas!! XOXOX
Poor Valentina. My heart breaks for her. Thank you for making sure she got the help she needed. We look forward to hearing how she mends. ❤
Thankyou for helping her Merry christmas from Lozzy uk x
Wow thank you so much!

Thank you ❤
The older I get, the more I despise some humans for their lack of responsibility, decency, compassion, empathy, etc. when it comes to animals. No animal deserves this.
Valentina is a beautiful dog and deserves a beautiful family. I hope that her healing process is quick and swift so she can find a great new home.
I’m in the same mindset. 💔 57 & honestly I fear for the majority of humanity. As a species, we use them. For entertainment, for drug & treatment testing, etc.. we never ask permission, we never put ourselves in their shoes as living beings. I can’t imagine what this poor pup has been through. It breaks me.
❤❤❤❤❤❤i also feel the same love dogs more then most people😢
Me too... humans are mostly evil ..a few are good 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Ur right on the money. I'm sad to have to say I agree
I have always said there is a special place in hell for animal abusers and glad in the US it is now a felony for neglect.
She, like all animals, deserves a happy, healthy life, and to know only kindness from humans. I hope she can fully recover and forget all the bad days soon. Thanks to all the shelter staff and Rocky’s crew for being willing to help.
Thank you!
Thank you for your care.
thank you so much ❤ merry christmas!

So glad your little fighter made it through her surgery!

No dog should have their ears cropped 😢😢😢
Thank you for doing what you can ❤
🩷💪🏻👍🏾🙏
I agree.Its a barbaric thinbg that must be punished by jail and fines. And they do it with scissors...can you imagine?
I can not stop crying for this precious girl 😢😢😢
Thank you for your heart.
I agree 100% ❗
Please help her 🙏
Thank you so much for donating, I and so many appreciate people like you. Thanks from the bottom of my heart ❤️
WOW!! So kind and generous!!
Love from 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thank you! I am literally in tears right now from all these generous donations 😢
❤❤❤
Very very generous, God bless you. ❤
Oml, she is the sweetest, most adorable pup I've seen. My heart is breaking for her and I'm so glad she is in your protection
My goodness! Valentina needs all of our help. I just wish I could do more. Thank you Rocky, Kelly, and Alexis for helping this sweetie
Thank you for your care.
😢😢So very sad and gut-wrenching to see the condition of Valentina, her owners need to be found and arrested! Thank-you Rocky & Kelly for getting her the immediate medical attention she needed. Valentina means “strong, healthy”…she definitely is showing the strength to continue on, 🙏🏻 that she will be much healthier soon! ❤️🐶
I'm not that forgiving. Sure put the ex-owners in jail. In the same condition Valentina is in now. Without help. And let's all take care Valentina and find her a new loving home.
🙏👍🏾💪🏻🩷
Thank you for your care.
thank you so much natalie ❤ merry christmas!

Please do what you can for this precious creature❤
Thank you for your kindness and donation. Your compassion does not go unnoticed.
That made me tear up. You are a beautiful person. Thank you for this generous donation. It will go far in a shelter. Merry Christmas to you. ❤ 🐾
Thank you! This will go straight to her vet bills ❤️🤙
You are an angel to help this loving innocent dog. I wish I could match your donation to help her. Glad she fell into the loving, caring arms of these people.
Bless you so freaking sweet this will help her so much
Cruelty to these beautiful souls should carry much harsher penalties. Bless you for your good heart 💐
I wish it could be more. My heart is breaking for Valentina
❤❤❤❤
Beautiful soul ♡
I think she looks like a giant schnauzer. They crop ears and tail. Thanks for helping her…❤
🙏👍🏾💪🏻🩷
Agreed.
That is what I thought, as well.
I thought so too! Giant Schnauzer. Sweetheart!
The only giant schnauzer I have ever seen in real life was one of the most regal and awesome dogs I have ever been around. I hope one day she ends up just like that.
Bless you all for helping Valentina. Poor sweet girl. Life will be better for her now.
🙏🩷👍🏽💪🏾
Take care of yourself, your fam, and your canine friends. Thanks for giving this fluff some time to assess and see what might be possible. I hope all good things are possible; its brave work to try. Went and updated my Flip coffee supply for the new year.

Thank you for your care.
Oh my goodness. This is so terrible to see. What is wrong with people! The abuser of this poor baby should be locked up 😢 Wishing this beautiful girl a speedy recovery and hope that a wonderful, loving forever family come forward to collect this beautiful girl soon. ❤❤
A little goes a long way if enough people chip in ❤️ what you said about Bean costing $40k and that people say you could help so many other dogs for that amount… how does one measure the value of a life? Bean is worth every penny and more ❤️ Thank you for fighting for these dogs no matter the cost and thank you for letting us be a part of it ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 It’s heartbreaking seeing the condition Valentina is in, but my heart feels a little lighter knowing she’s in your care now and that you will do everything in your power to help her towards a happy and healthy life 🥹❤️🩹 Get well soon, sweet Valentina ❤️
🙏🩷💪🏾👍🏻
Tusen takk og GOD YUL❣️🎄🇧🇻
Exactly. Back when my husband had money we spent 30k on our dogs healthcare and it extended his life for several years. TBH, It should never have cost that much. My husband passed away awhile back and I could never afford that now for an animal. It's insane how people really can't afford to have pets these days. My dog now is 14. Not sure if I'll get another after he passes. It will all depend on my finances. I don't want to take a pet if a bad situation happens and I can't afford it.
Thank you for your generosity.
@@Sandy-p4m...I adopted a new rescue about 7 mo ago. 3 mo later she sliced her leg accidentally, $2000 emergency bill, then 2 no later she wouldn't eat one morning & I took her to emergency because I knew something was wrong, she had something stuck in her small intestine ...turned out to be part of a rope toy I disposed of 3 months prior...$11,000. I do not have that kind of money, & I have another dog. But what are you to do ... she is a year old & came from a horrible neglect/abuse situation...no way I could let her die. Not can I deal with another bill of thousands, so I got her health insurance. Wish I did it after the first situation!
For Valentina, and a little something for the animal control officer
Thank you ❤
Beautiful soul ♡
Thank you Rocky, this is a small amount to support Valentina and her recovery. She is a good girl! 🙂
Thank you!!
I think she's a giant schnauzer. That would explain the docked tail and ears. They are gorgeous animals. She deserves so much better.
@@Ldyrev1 illegal in UK and most developed world countries
I thought the same thing. She looks like a GS.
I agree, she is definitely a giant schnauzer. They are such amazing dogs! My guess is the owners dumped her. She deserves so much better.
I think she is actually a Bouvier, they are less known look exactly like this when clipped, I had one myself
Can you tell me why Americans crop dogs ears?
I wish I could send you a thousand times this amount. Valentina is a sweet little soul, deserving of all that we can possibly do to make her well. I would love to give her a home, but I live way too far way. So I’ll look forward to updates to bring gladness to know she is in a loving home. ❣️
I wish I could do more, but send this little amount to help you and the team in all you do to help. Thank you for all you do!
You are amazing for helping! ❤❤❤❤
Much appreciated!

You’re an angel. God bless!
Thanks for doing what you can to save this poor girl. Breaks my heart. Mele Kalikimaka to you all.
Thanks! I am distraught. Why do dogs have to suffer so when all they want is food and love. They give us everything in return.
❤❤❤
I love you! Thank you
GOD BLESS YOU BACK!THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS!❤❤️✝️🙏🏼⚖️🐾
I'm in tears! We got a shelter dog a few months ago, and there's no doubt he was abused as a baby because he's petrified of ppl.. My heart is melting for her
Wow! Just breaks my heart about Valentina, also sad to hear about Stella! I hope they both fine their forever, loving home. Thank you to the dog officer, the shelter, Kelly, and you Rocky. I am a cat person, but no matter cat, dog, rabbit, etc no animal deserves to be abused, abandon. They all deserve love and care!

I just want to give a little something for this sweet pup.

Thanks for saving Valentina! In honor of our Bouvier we will help fund!

Whoever gets to be Valentina's furever family will be the luckiest humans ever. She is such a sweetie! You can tell she will be gorgeous once she's cleaned up and has had time to heal. Hugs from Santa Barbara. We love you Valentina!

I got a dog 2 years ago that had been returned 3 xs , she’s really barky and I’ve noticed other things,but she’s our dog now. No matter what.
She felt your pain and offered you comfort.
Dogs are incredible
A little something to help with her vet bills. I’ll be replenishing my delicious Flip coffee again soon as well! ❤

so many people NEED to OWN a dog. Not enough people want to RAISE and LOVE their dogs. it makes me so sick that people can abandon these wonderful animals for shallow reasons.

So sad for Stella. Seems this sweet girl got the short end of the stick WITH an ear infection to boot.😢 I so hope she finds her forever family very soon. It's obvious she misses "family."🤗❤❤❤❤
Valentina found her savior, there is a special place in heaven reserved for you Rocky and your wife, hope you have the best Christmas ever, God bless and take care of you both.

She reminded me of the dog I adopted yesterday. I took her straight from the shelter to my vet and groomer. It took the groomer 7-1/2 hours to get all the walnut to golf ball size mats off of her, bathe her and clip her disgustingly long nails. She groomed off 50% of the dog's weight in mats. Even the chip info was similar. Her first owner died and the second owners just kind of vanished. She was picked up as a stray. It's heartbreaking. My fur-baby (Ladybug) is 16yo. But however much time she has left will be in a warm bed, with a full stomach and all the love she can stand.
Bless you & 🐞 Ladybug I hope you have a great life together ❤
Thank you for being her angel 😇
Thank you so for adopting a senior!
Thank you for giving Ladybug the best Christmas present!!
I've adopted seniors, and it's always so wonderful. I may not have had them for a long time, but I love knowing that the end of their lives were spent in a loving safe home, where they were given the life they deserved.
Both you and Ladybug will be so happy and grateful for the time you spend together.❤️❤️
Where is the next part of valatina the holorriby abused dog you took?to the vet’ that this show just switched to this lone
Breaks my heart to see this but hopefully this helps in some way.

Rocky, you are such a sweet soul. Thank God for people like you. I'm 73 in two weeks and I wish I had known about rescuing animals in my youth (didn't hear of it) instead of wasting the best years of my life in an office cubicle. I've adopted rescued dogs and from breeders, and the rescued ones have a special place in my heart.
I hope this helps such a sweet pup.
❤❤❤❤
I hope this pup has a speedy recovery! Thank you for all you do, Rocky! Kudos to everyone who has donated. Even if you can't donate, watching these videos helps the animals! 🩷
Lovely you could help. Thank you
@@fivenine2 I also encourage others to help with your local shelter, donating, going to walk the dogs, we take food and treats for the dogs and I said this before the kitty lady (she had Hello Kitty scrubs on) saw us unloading our dog food and said "Our kitties need cat food, kitten food, milk replacement powder for nursing kittens and nursing kits) so back to Walmarts we go to buy that and take them back to the shelter along with cat toys. You can search your local shelter online and share "available pets". Ours is a county shelter but we have budgeted this.
Thank you❤❤
For Valentina's care. Thanks for caring so much.
❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your kindness! You're amazing. ❤❤❤
Thank you for your kindness! You're awesome. ❤❤❤
She is a Bouvier de Flanders. They are great dogs! Poor baby!
We have a male that we rescued from the shelter, they were going to put him down because of his size, because no one would take him. He is a beautiful dog, looks a lot like her, but his ears have not been cropped. I think that's terrible... He was around nine months old when we got him, so pretty much still a puppy. He has turned out to be an awesome dog, I love him so much, he's a big goofy boy, and I wouldn't change him or ever get rid of him, he has brought me so much happiness and love, he'll never be alone again... I pray she gets better and can have a new loving forever home!! No animal deserves to be put in that situation, poor baby girl...
I used to groom a Bouvier named Seraphina who looked just like Valentina, cropped ears and all. Unfortunately, she was always nasty and matted because her owners only got her groomed once a year, with no baths or brushing in between. They also only fed her raw ground beef, which may be healthy idk, but it made her breath stink and teeth rot. She was always SO SWEET, it broke my heart everything I saw her.
You are so right, I knew she looked familiar, I had a friend once who had one of those dogs. How in the H@ll does of a dog of that breed end up in this situation. They are not exactly inexpensive dogs. I tell my cat all the time that people SUCK. I can't have a dog where I currently live, but I long for the day when I can get a dog. Rocky, you and your team are angels.
I think that the family for the lab mix is in the wrong. Your dog has an infection, and it causes a reaction, and their automatic response is to give the dog away. That is just wrong.
Either a Bouvier de Flanders or Giant Schnauzer
pls know that you are beautiful and that you are loved so much, Valentina🙏💗
a big thank you, as always, to Rocky, the shelter et al.
Thank you for your care.
