When I was made homeless by a family member with no place to go, the shelter took our cats. I was and still am 3 years later devastated, even though I didn't want to give them up, I couldn't leave them outside to fend for themselves. So I gave them all the info I had, names, our vet who knows us really well, told them to call for their medical records. I spent 3 days crying and not eating because those were my babies. Knowing I would never see them again, because I was going to a shelter myself, I made sure that whomever adopted them, would have all the info they needed to make sure my babies would have the care they needed. I don't understand just dumping and running.
@@RayneSaltair Good for you for doing the best for your babies.
Hope you're doing well now and praying for you 🙏
Some places it costs money to leave them.
Praying for you!
The love you have for your cats is palpable. God Bless you
So many people are struggling. 😢 It breaks my heart.
I hope this helps. They are so loving. I don't know how you do this as I would be in tears constantly, but am so glad you do.
Cool ❤
You're great
I’d be destroyed.
Thanks you so much! (from another fan)
You are an angel!
I had to turn my dogs in once. It was aweful! I was bawling the whole time. I was going into the military and couldn't find anyone to take care of them while I was gone. It was the worst time of my life 😢. I didn't get another dog for over 6 years. I adopted her from a rescue and I've had her ten years now ❤.
💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
Thank You for your Service and SACRIFICE!!
Your story is so sad. I appreciate you though!
💝💝💝
@Ichtopia thank you for your service to our country!!! That's something you never think about and good to know. My dream is to do a project helping out veterans or active military . You gave me a great idea, maybe that's something to think about, fostering dogs while they're away serving our country! 🙏❤️🇺🇸😊
@@marylynnbehrens5562 That's a wonderful idea!
@marylynnbehrens5562 I love your idea, I'm certain you'll get support for - and A LOT of interest in - such a project. That's such a brilliant concept. I truly believe that MANY people will - not only love your idea, they will wholeheartedly embrace and support it. I really hope you get whatever you need to get your project up and running. I'm also certain (especially within the worldwide animal rescuing community - to which you and I both belong, lol) that once people know exactly WHAT you are doing, WHO you're doing it for, and WHY, Then the 'HOW' will quickly come together, the support will be there! - I don't think I could count the number of grateful service-women and service-men, (& their FUR-BABIES) who would be DELIGHTED to be part of this project, while they are away, their hearts may ache, that's only natural, however, they'd be greatly comforted in the knowledge that their fury-family members are being truly cared for, loved and truly happy. PLEASE grab your brilliant 👏 idea 💡 and RUN WITH IT, SERIOUSLY - YOU ARE ONTO SOMETHING FABULOUSLY WONDERFUL. I'M sending you all the positive 'it's gonna happen' vibes that I've got. GO, YOU GOOD THING😊🎉👏💡😀😇❤️🐕🐾✨️🐕🐾🥰🐕🐾🐕🦺🦮🥰🐕🐾❤️✌🏽🙏💖💪🫂😘😇🐕🐾🐕🐾✨️🐕🐾🐕🦺✨️🦮✨️🐈✨️🐾🐕🐈💜💛🩵🫂😇🫂😇🫂✌🏽🩵😊
I hope that you are not a friend whit those people anymore. I wouldn't forgive people if someone call themselves my friend but in the time in need wouldn't step in.
Should get adopted together!❤❤❤❤❤
Yes they need to be adopted together. I agree with you 1000%.❤❤❤Sending love and prayers they find their loving forever family ASAP AMEN 💗 🙏 🕊 ⚘️ ♥️ they are so cute and so sweet. . They need to be taken care of . Please get Tham groom and clean up so they can get adopted easier.
@@laurapoynter2970 All in time. All are volunteers....
In an ideal world, yes, but not always easy….
Bonded pets usually are adopted together
Yes 🙏🙏😔
It is so hard to know what to do & the owner gave them another chance. I was in an abusive relationship years ago & fortunately I gave my cat to a shelter in London to look after him until I was bought out by my ex due to my ex threatening to kill him if I left him there:(. I couldn't take to him to my friends where I had moved to as she was allergic. The shelter looked after him for a year & on the paperwork it even stipulated that he must not be sold:) I was able to visit him weekly when I had a car to get there & they even let the cats out to wander the grounds once they were settled over just keeping them stuck in their cages. Once I was able to get him out I was in a position to pay them back for what they had done & still support them. They were truly amazing. I hope these babies get their forever home soon.
I’m glad you found the courage to leave and you ensured your cat was safe. Wishing you the happiest and a peaceful life. ❤
@@demetrianicole1657 Thank you so much😊❤
I'm so happy you were able to get them back!!🎉
I hope they get adopted together. I think they would be broken hearted if they were separated.
Can you say they need to be adopted together?
I love the girl’s ears!!
Peaty and Pear is cut…
Opps. Pearl
Oh how I wish I could have them both
I pray they are adopted as a bonded pair. Leo and Lilly is perfect. Please keep us updated.
They are so cute. They behave like younger puppies so friendly. I hope they get adopted together.
Thank you Rocky.
Pixie & Dixie
I don’t think many people would know that a shelter could help them keep the dog. I think that’s a good PSA announcement from local shelters is they can afford it. These two are precious.
Adoption is the best option. My rescue dog had a skin problem that went away with a bath, getting rid of fleas, and nutrition. They are so adoptable.
Hardship is REAL. Vet care is unbelievably expensive. We adopted a dog whose owner didn't want him anymore. I tried to get help with vet costs, but you have to be destitute to qualify. So we've spent well over $1000 it the last few months (including neutering) that we really can't afford. I feel very stuck.
We have gone backwards with pet care...800 for neutering..the animals situation is gone totally backwards...vets should be ashamed of themselves....who can afford such prices not the average not these days
About a month ago we had to put our beloved dog down as she was really suffering and I knew it was probably the end. It cost $1200 to have her seen and euthanized that day. We're low income but I had started saving a small portion of my paycheck every month for emergencies and that day totally drained all my savings and my most recent paycheck. I'm usually "Dr Mom" for little complaints and we buy the best food we can afford to act as preventative care since we can't afford to see a vet regularly. 😢
I am so very sorry to learn of your hardship, but I give you a lot of credit for continuing to care for the dog. I will pray that you can manage more easily as time goes on!
@@carolmartin3028I think Vet Businesses have been bought out by Corporations and that is why they are charging so much. I think my cat I have had for 12 years may have Hyperthyroidism. I have read that the meds for hyperthyroidism can cause kidney failure so I am very reluctant to take him to a vet. He has gotten very skinny. He was an adult when I got him 12 years ago so I don’t know his true age. I was in very different condition $$money$$ wise 12 years ago than I am now. I am 77 and live on Social Security. I was in hospital last year for a broken Femur which I am still paying off that hospital bill. If my cat dies I will be devastated, I love him so much. His name is Yoshiki. I feel bad for all people who must give up their beloved pets because of hardship. I will never judge others who do the best they can. Life can be hard. Stroke and kiss your animals they give you so much love.💕🐈💕🐕🦺💕🐈⬛💕
Just got back from the vet. Join a wellness program it makes it a little easier
I think they need spa day with Mel😊
❤❤ yes
You have a global audience. I listen from Malta. A tiny island in the Mediterranean just south of Sicily. Keep up the good work ❤
please don’t split them up. they should stay together!
TAFFY & ROLLO
Please try to keep them together please 🙏
I love the ‘positive affirmations’ part of your videos…you can see the little ones perk up!!! 🥹❤️🐶🙏
My Aunt had to get her pup a new home , 😔 it broke her heart she cried for months, he was her best friend, she lost her job and couldn't keep him she was in depression for along time, before she gave him away she barely ate so he could eat what he always ate. She got him everything he needed. So I try to not judge anymore. And their skin could be very well why they decided it would be better, idk it's sad for all
I think they deserve to be judged, it wld be like giving ur kids away
@@jennyjohnston1993 Try to put your heart in their place.
@@jennyjohnston1993you are blessed to have never been in an extremely bad situation where there isn't another option. Compassion is understanding that not everyone has the same life situation.
Poor aunt..how hard-poor thing!
It's a blessing they're there. They deserve to have unconditional love, care and attention and get their skin issues under control. It's unfortunate the owner left them, but everything happens for a reason. Love, blessings and a forever family for them and keeping them together. 🥰🙏❤
I hope they find furever homes soon. It would be awesome if they could be adopted together. Thank you all for what you do!
Like that”furever”. Cute
Praying together. I raised 4 tiny babies since 3 days old. Kept 2 and my mom took 2. Mine passed away a month apart, one cancer one a broken heart I think. These babies need each other. Praying they let potential adoptees know their need for that. Someone special will adopt them together. 😢
Hi Rocky! I live in Erie, Pennsylvania which is pretty far from where you are, but I'm VERY interested in adopting these two. I don't care what their ages are, physical condition or level of training is, but I know I could provide a very loving and good home for them. The dogs in our house are all well vetted, deeply loved and treated like royalty. I can provide references from my veterinarian that will validate our claims. There is no doubt in my mind that we could provide a good home and give them the love and care they so deserve. I'm home all day while my husband works and would be able to provide full time care. I know we're not local to you, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to bring these two here. I can send you video and pictures of our home and property, provide references, do a Facetime... whatever you need. How can we make this happen? I'll take them in ANY condition and make sure they have the best medical care as well.
Poor little muffs. Rocky , thank you for giving them some love and attention. I know a perfect forever home will come for both of them. They’re so cute.
Hope and Joy.
Thank you so much!
❤
You are so sweet for helping
Dear Rocky & Vet staff may God bless you all for all you do for these beautiful animals. I pray for a forever home for these babies. They deserve a loving home❤❤❤❤
❤❤the female reminds me of Sally Fields in the 1060s show the Flying Nun !
Yes! I was thinking of my favorite childhood movie, Dumbo.
names Sally and Fields
Also, the ears remind me of the dog in Neverending Story!!!
😂😂😂😂
Love the ears! She made me laugh. They may be stinky but they’re adorable!
They are both so cute and definitely should be kept together. I think it's sad that they are there but in the right place to get the help they both need x
Awe, I just adopted 2 that look like them. Boy is 7, Girl 5. They are getting used to us slowly
❤ Congratulations!
I'm currently fostering a little dog that was found in Stockton, CA, and I'm baffled by how similar she looks to Leo in this video-they're almost identical! She's 5 years old and also weighed less than 6 lbs when they found her. She was saved by a rescue in Washington from the euthanasia list since her back legs are paralyzed. I'm so grateful for shelters like Animal Friends of the Valley and incredible rescues that save dogs in need, giving them second chances. I hope these dogs find their perfect homes soon; they remind me so much of my sweet foster, who is an absolute angel 💖.
They look like they need lots love with grooming will be beautiful
Buffy, and Jody are good names for them. I wish I lived closer, as I would love to adopt them both.
They are adorable. I hope they can be adopted together. Good luck, little ones.
❤🐶🐶❤
I have 2 cats,older cats.I ❤them.I wish they had such enthusiastic_creative people here in Chicago 2 promote shelter pets in such attractive manner.😊
Edited****I live in an area hours from anywhere that provides any assistance, food, medical, etc. it is not available everywhere! **** People don’t leave information because they are shamed for a decision that is already heartbreaking. Yes, it is easy to say I would never give up my dog for anything. What about when you lose all your income, your health and are being told you have to move. Choose between a home for your children and living on the streets to keep your dog. But if you take the dog to a shelter you are told that it is illegal to drop off dogs without paying. And if not illegal, you simply don’t have the $, heck you can’t buy milk for your babies. And people make you feel horrible for making the hardest decision in many people’s lives. In times like this many are having to choose between feeding people or feeding pets and no one should EVER have to make that choice. Need more programs to assist with keeping pets in homes. Helping with short term food needs or emergency medical. The $ for dogs in shelters is vital but let’s work On keeping them in their homes to begin with!
Soo true. I have been very lucky I’ve never had to make that choice. That would be devastating to have to make that decision.
@bryzcrochet very true.
Yes, sometimes this happens. It is better to turn them in instead of abandoning them in some field somewhere. I respect that decision. Looks like the right decision was made.
So true, in too many cases owners are made to feel guilty about handing pets over ,they feel ashamed, very upset aren't in good places themselves, that's a massive problem, also I know in Britain benefits ask if you have pets and question do you need them, they suggest get rid of pets as they are a Luxury!!!!!, in many cases they provide emotional support, not everyone is bad owner, some are just uneducated in animal welfare and actually love their pets but financially unstable, Some just get in over their heads. Hopefully they will get a new lease of life in luxury.
@@nanabear85Pets are family. Do they question if you need your Nan?
So sad that I missed the live feed. I totally respect and appreciate all that you do Rocky. Thank you.
Oh My Goodness Gracious! Leo and Lily are two of the Most Adorable Pups I have ever seen! I'm sure they will be adopted together, and VERY SOON! Woof! Woof!💓 🐶🐕💓
hi rocky and staff, £200 usual amount to help shelter. thank you for all that you do.god bless... Melvyn from England
Leo and Lilly.. perfect!!
Great names.
They look like dogs owned by a senior who was having trouble caring for themselves. Sometimes they have to surrender their animals before going to a home.
That is so sad and is making me cry...heartbreaking.
I have always said that is so wrong.
Please adopt this bonded pair together. xxx
Rocky is a blessing to these pups in the shelter. ❤❤❤❤
Lucy and Ricky! They're adorable!
Love it!❤
You read my mind! 😊
@@cheriquigley8131 That’s perfect names!! Love it!! 🥰👍
@@cheriquigley8131 😆
They might be allergic. And need good food to get better.
I hope they go together. That's twice the love for who ever takes them. They can't eat that much but they lost there home please don't let them lose each other. God bless the one thst takes them❤❤❤❤❤❤
They clearly are not being well cared for and the best thing for them both is to find them a new home together THEY ARE PRECIOUS LITTLE PEANUTS i hope they are adopted TOGETHER and soon
Lucy and Linus❤
I've adopted my son's 2 dogs who are brother and sister. In 10 years, they've never been apart for a single day or night. They would be devastated without one another. Pls pls pls keep these 2 Lovelies together. I guarantee they would be traumatized if separated. Already you can see big brother is protective of the little one.
Would love to see Leo & Lilly's makeover. Hugs to them! They're adorable even when a mess.
Thanks!
I'll bet "mom" is just aching right now. A rough life and she cared enough for her babies to get them GOOD homes.. while she cries.
Bath, food and a cuddle for you for looking after them...very sweet dogs. X
I'm hoping they get adopted together and soon ❤
Girl... Pippi and the boy... Longstocking
They ate so super sweet and cute! I believe once they've been groomed, they will get adopted quickly. 🙏
Cotton and snowangel
Thanks!
Thank you Sara!
You really calmed them down. They needed you. I hope they can get a bath!
Diamonds in the rough! I adopted mine like that 12 years ago. Dirty, matted, reactive. Just needed lots of love. They have been a wonderful part of mine & my husbad's lives. (First p
Maggie and Duke. They are so adorable. I have two Maltese little girls and they remind me of them.
Who are we to judge? It’s terrible to be in a financial crisis. I hate when people criticize another for making this tough decision. God forbid this situation happens to them.
Good thoughts Leo and Lilly find their loving forever home ASAP. THANK YOU for all you do helping these dogs...
They are adorable! I cried while watching. The little girls ears are so cute. 🥰
I've been in the position of having to choose between my kids and pets when trying to rent. This was years ago, and I STILL feel like a bad person for it. I urge feeling compassion for the previous owner. Thank you, Rocky and team, for your work with these animals. ❤
Oh! You two are just so adorable that you will surely be snatched up soon by your perfect human matches. Millions of people are willing it to happen, and with Rocky as your champion it will feel like all you did was blink. 🤗😘🤗😘
Macey and Lacey! Sending pooch snuggles. He is a very handsome boy 😊
😊Rocky, You Are Truly, A " Canine Saint"...The Dogs Come In, And You Love And Pet Them, Even Before They Go To Grooming, And Bathed, By Your Amazing Groomer!!! 😊😊😊
So Adorable! These babies would be adopted in a heartbeat here in Florida, so many senior citizens looking for smaller companion dogs. Just like I did. Both of my dogs (little white fluffs with tan accents) are adopted. One Bichon type, the other maybe Jack Russel terrier type but the same size and coloring, look like a team, people ask me if they're littermates!
I bought some pumpkin spice coffee!!!!!! WOO HOO!!!! This is my treat to me!
I hope they get adopted quickly! ❤🐾❤
I'm so happy that you're putting it out there that Animal Friends of the Valleys will help people suffering economic hardship.
Maybe, more people will reach out for help rather than surrender their loved companions. 🥰
Beau & Trinket. Names of two little Poodles I grew up with. Really a special part of my childhood. Beau, White, was my Grandma's. Protector, but super sweet fun to play and cuddle. Trinket, Black, so tiny Toy Poodle someone threw out their car window doing 50mph in front of my mom. She had been so abused. My mom rescued her and she used to also join me up in my favorite chair of Grandma's whenever I'd be crying, they'd come cry with me. They also ate the Liver I hated and chucked behind the couch for them 😂❤❤
These two are 100% adorable. A brother and a sister! 😍🥰😍🥰😍😖
Where ever they came from someone was unwilling or unable to care for them in the most basic ways. The shelter has already helped them with flea treatment. I do hope they are adopted together. Leo seems very attached to Lily. Thank you for showing them. I am sure those cute liitle ones will find a home now!
You can't really judge without knowing what the hardship is, it's not always financial. They may know they are no longer able to care for them and they may know they themselves will not be recovering for whatever the situation is so they will never be able to care for them again. The $50 they left may have been the last $50 they had and they did the best they could under the circumstances, circumstances we will never know. We should be very careful when judging people we don't know, who are dealing with issues we don't know. What matters now is that they are safe and being cared for.
The economy is bad people are losing their jobs and their homes. It's very sad.
every time I watch your videos, I am so thankful that you exist and that you truly help all these dogs! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
No way that those two angels should be further exposed to the hardships.
They are so cute. 😍 I bet after a bath and some time they will look great. I pray they get adopted together. Thank you for helping them.
Leo and Lily are such cute and sweet puppies who deserve to go to a loving home where they will be happy together and not go through any hardships! 🥰 Fingers crossed that they go home. 🤞
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, YOU ROCK, ROCKY KANAKA!!! I ADMIRE YOUR STRENGTH AND LOVING HEART. GO BLESS YOU FOREVER!!!
Thank you Rocky. Is that a poodle mix
Hope they stay together ❤❤
Hi all, Sending them both love and healing hugs. Unless you WALK IN SOMEONES SHOES FOR A DAY.. we can't.know how hard it is in their moms decision.. sending mom love and healing hugs as well. Been safe is best. Love bernadette xoxox cats xoxox ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for helping these cuties ❤❤❤❤❤
They are so cute and sweet. Thank you for sitting with them Rocky. How about Mork and Mindy for their names. Leo and Lillie are great names for them too.❤🙏🐾🐾
Loved the names Leo and Lilly!!! They are an incredibly cute pair😊❤
Daisy and Donald
Ning and yang
My name choices are Cloud (boy) and Lambchop (Lambie, girl). So sweet, bonded pair! 🩷💙🐾
I would adopt them today if you were in Florida…..safety first….those babies need more care than the owner was able or willing to do.
They are a bonded pair and need to be together
Stunning little dogs ❤❤ hi from Ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪
Lucy and Desi
I worked as a Vet Tech for 10 years and I can think of one client in particular who had a similar situation but he did not surrender them and eventually had them taken from him because the situation got so bad. Sometimes the kindest thing an owner can do is to surrender them so that they can get proper care.
You can't hold people to harshly. Maybe they got in this condition because someone loved them and couldn"t let go right away.
I agree. Because it's obvious they were used to being loved and cuddled. Poor little things don't know what happened, just good they have each other.
The little girl's ears remind me of the flying nun.
I bought the 1st bag of FlipCoffee to contribute and will buy it in the future because it tastes and smells better than any other coffee I've bought.. and I'm old!
Where do I purchase the coffee, please and thank you.
@@Candy-O1776 Scroll up above the comments but below the video. There are links to Flip's Coffee.
So cute, hope they get adopted together
Poppy and Fred
Adorable
Your kind tender heart has already healed more than half of their trauma ❤️❤️
OMG, what a couple of cuties!
I have one that looks like the male. He had not much hair due to fleas , had never been fixed, and could not tell me where he got his shots. I took him and the vet took care of him and he is now 16 and has seen me through some extremely hard times. Love them!
I'm not going to fly to the USA to adopt a dog, but you definitely have an international audience, not just a national one.
I fully support your cause, but I've decided against donating to you / becoming a member. Instead, I'm going to support my local shelter. They don't have a UA-camr rooting for them so they're getting less donations than FotV does.
Yes! Great idea.
Love is Love as Lin Manuel Miranda would say🐕💜
I think it’s good that the mom brought them. Maybe not the ideal. We adopted our dog from Loisianna- she was abandoned in a backyard, and the owners just left. 😢
This is one of the worst economies I’ve seen in my lifetime, so times are tough for everyone. If someone can’t afford a dog, it’s better than just leaving with no one to care for them.
I wish I was there, my comment was not posted Idk why.. if I was close I would get them both in a heartbeat.. they are so adorable and loving
Same here, Indiana fan.
It’s a sad situation, very heartbreaking. I believe it’s better that they cared enough for the dogs to let them go knowing they couldn’t provide a good healthy environment for them. I hope the family gets through these trying times. I pray these little precious little dogs find a loving home where they’ll have the best lives ever! ❤ 🐾
Aww I wish I lived close to there.😢❤❤
