To the Lady who adopted Wang , she just embraced the journey required in dog ownership and the respect she showed Wang is fantastic

I’m a rescue in Toronto, Canada that rescues German Shepherds from high kill shelters usually euthanasia listed. The longer these Shepherds stay confined the worse it gets, people can’t read Shepherds they’re afraid and people think they aren’t friendly… Shepherds shouldn’t be in noisy shelters without a person to guide them. They get so confused and super stressed. They are super smart and just don’t understand what’s happening. So many different people handling them, they try to connect then people change just a horrible cycle for such majestic dogs. Shepherds need their person.

I am SO HAPPY with Wang’s adoption! His new parents seem amazing, loving, and understanding. I am in tears and so happy. Thank you for everyone who helped save Wang.

Why is this gorgeous Shepherd in the shelter ?? UNBELIEVABLE ❤❤❤❤

Give the algorithm more treats

I just lost my 20 year old blue healer. I am absolutely devastated. I want to watch this but it still hurts to much 💔

The moment the light bulb goes on over a dog's head, and they look around and realize, "Hey, I belong here. They are not going to make me leave," is the most precious moment. I have been present for that moment in most of my adopted dogs' lives. I will never forget that moment.

hi rocky and team. i have just donated £150 for whatever its needed for. love and much respect melvyn animal artist.

Right when you told wang he’s a good boy, my dog peeked his head around the corner looking like he was thinking, “what about me? I’m a good boy.”🥰 He was also a shelter dog that I rescued when he was 4 months. He was never taken care of before and needed so much love and care.

Wayne is a prime example of why fostering dogs is so important. When they fold in on themselves mentally like he has, he would benefit so greatly from an interim owner

So happy for Wang ! It's not good for any dog or cat to be in a shelter for a year. But, for a German Shepherd, it's truly heartbreaking. They need a person. I owned 3 Shepherds. I'm so surprised he didn't end up with mental health issues. Shepherds NEED a job, and positive mental stimulation. He has THE most soulful eyes I have ever seen !! ❤️🐾

The shelter where I volunteer doesn’t not allow sitting with dogs but I am blessed to go in everyday and walk these beautiful dogs. To see their personalities come out once they are outside is amazing. Thank you Rocky for what you do and inspiring me to volunteer.

This shepherd Wang is just awesome and beautiful!

The shelters need to pipe calming piano music throughout. No joke, it WORKS to calm the pups down ❤

I got a pit bull that was 4yrs old, had never been house trained. I figured out they kept her in the basement 24/7. Turned in to pound twice. It was 2020 there were no dogs available. For the first 3months she would wrap herself around my feet anytime I was still. She is an absolutely a wonderful dog. She is 8 and follows me around like a puppy. The old owners loss my windfall ❤❤❤

When ever Rocky says - ‘time for some affirmations ‘ . I immediately reach for a tissue 🥹. It messes me up - esp when he says ‘ its not your fault ‘.

9 months ago I took in a totally shut-down golden. A couple bought her in PA 2 weeks prior to my adoption. She was emaciated and totally shut-down. She was 8 months old. Today she's an over-the-moon dog. Always with me yet still has confidence and loves her cat brother and other dogs.

I rescued a 6 yr old Black German Shepherd and she is so active and well past accidents, etc. I was looking for a younger pup but this girl is my everything!

I'm so happy Wang was adopted. ❤❤❤🐕🐶

When Katie was scooped, she couldn't work out what was happening, but she knew she loved it.

I still cry every time I think about this baby being in a shelter for a whole year. I realize that there are just so so many dogs, what is there any way we can try and commit to focusing on these incredible creatures far before any others!!

Thank you Kelly and MaryBeth for adopting Wang! You seem absolutely the perfect loving adopters that Wayne was needing !!!❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾

That made me cry that he got adopted!! ❤❤❤

I love dogs, animals. The other day I went to pick up somebody from a house I never been to. This huge Rotweiler came to the fence and I touched his head, stroking him and chatting to him. He is a beautifúl dog. The owner came out and her jaw dropped. She said - how did you do that? He would take off your hand! She watched as he kept on pushing his head into my hand. I was not scared and never felt that he will bite me. I just felt a loving dog wanting love from me. I believe dogs can feel your real feelings about them. My first thought when I saw this dog was to get out of my car and saying hallo to him. He is so powerful and so beautiful.

So happy wang got a home ❤

My pup always threw up after a. Treat chew stick, later i learned all of his teeth were bad and had to have them all pulled. I'm his third home, he trusts me but no one else. Making things difficult, he trusts the vet now and his staff. But no one can come in my house so he has to be put in another room. 14 years old so I don't think he will ever change. But i love him unconditionally

Wayne is a BEAUTIFUL German Shepherd. They are such majestic,smart and loyal dogs.

I’m so happy wang was adopted by such a great family! I really wanted to see him in his new environment so thanks to “Wayne’s” mom for sharing the way she did. Super compassionate people. 🙂

So glad that Wang was adopted. He looked so sad and a year is a long time in a dogs life. I don't think people realize what great dogs German Shepherd are, been blessed to have had a few in my lifetime and miss them dearly.

I am glad Wang got adopted.

I want him. I've never wanted a German shepherd, per se, cuz they need a lot. Yet, I want this guy. You can just tell he's amazing. Sending all my love and hugs. ❤

My father loved German shepherds so I grew up around them my whole life. They are the kindest, sweetest most protective dogs. Ours all had German names. Schatzi, Hans, Leibchen, etc.. The last one before I moved out on my own was so loving that he was constantly trying to crawl up and lie in my lap when I would be in a chair watching television. They are so loving and I wish I was living somewhere that I could have one again, but condo living comes with so many rules.

Rocky, Thank you for all you do for dogs!!!

Wang looks regal.....Rocky, thank you for being an ambassador for dogs. For being an intercedant for these beautiful souls. All they want is to love and be loved.❤❤❤❤❤

I started feeding and giving (outside) shelter to a stray half-grown cat. Very skinny. We probably don't want to know her story. She ended up giving me six kittens. I had been adding some (pretty expensive) cat vitamins from day two, so by the time she got pregnant, she was in good health. I bought a heated "cat cave" which I put in a sheltered spot on my back porch. The porch is open on two sides and has a roof. Once the kittens were born, I was able to scoop them up and put them in a spare room and she followed. She had no idea what toys were, but when the kittens were older and I had given them toys, she became a bit more interested. Once they were all adopted, I let her back outside. I have a pet door for my old (now 19 yrs) cat who is an indoor/outdoor pet. It took this stray two years before she began to come in the house on her own. She still spooks easily from sudden movements or sounds, but she is very sweet and affectionate. The two cats want nothing to do with each other, but don't fight. My old cat is hyperthyroid, skinny, a very picky eater (probably misses the fresh meat she used to catch) and she probably will not make it to 20, so God sent me a replacement. 🥰

I just adore Katie to bits! Love her personality and quirkiness. She melts my heart. Cannot wait to see a pupdate with Katie in a happy and loving home!

POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS IS THE PERFECT TITLE

May GOD BLESS YOU ALL FOR BEING SOOOOOO KIND AMEN ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Interestingly enough, my cat has chosen to sit here and watch today.

The German Shepherd is Majestic! They do not do well separated from their person/people. Once bonded to a person, they don't do well with change.

Yay!! So excited for the pupdate ❤

Katie is absolutely beautiful and deserves to be a princess 🎉

Yay Wang!! Part for the community who prayed for his adoption I hope he has the happiest life.

Dory’s video stuck with me. I just love her grumpy looking face 😍 so glad she was adopted!

He is so beautiful! I would take him in a heartbeat! Just want to give him hugs. I live on the east coast 😢. I hope he gets his perfect home asap. Can’t believe he’s been in there for a year.

Rocky, I come from the Central Valley of California and our daughter worked in the office of a packing shed in Exeter. One day a couple of girls who worked down in the packing shed came into the office with a grocery bag with a puppy in it and asked her to call the SPCA so of course she called Mom. By the time I got there our daughter and a man who worked there and taken him out to one of the big plastic bins and used water to remove some of the fleas. I came with Frontline and sprayed him with it and watched the fleas coming out to the ends of his hair and falling off. The girls told Melissa that he had been in the park for 3-4 days and nights he was also about 4 to 5 weeks old. He was a German Shepherd mix and I instantly in love with him. I had a Rottweiler named Gunther who was the sweetest dog in the world. I named the new one Bugs and he and Gun became best friends. Bugs never grew as big as a German Shepherd but he had a heart as big as Texas. That was 30 years ago and I still miss both of them with all my heart. I hope that Wang was adopted and they love him dearly. Thank you for what you do.

We just got our shelter dog, also German Shepherd, around 5-years, and named him PIROT, he is WONDERFUL, GREAT 👍 ❤

Re: Nigel with 1 brown and 1 blue eye- The Marquis de Lafayette who fought with and aided the Continentals (Colonials) during the War of Revolution in 1776 - 1782, also had 1 blue and 1 brown eye.

Putting Wang up on your channel is really what turned Wangs story around. Thank you for showcasing and sitting with Wang.

I got to rescue my dog from a sad life, where the original owner didn't treat the dog right after having it for a couple of years. When I saw that my new canine companion was already house-broken, I knew I hit the jackpot. Five years later I'm still enjoying the company of my ESA dog (who gets good food, treats, toys, cuddles, affirmations, play time, and walks where she gets to be around other dogs and gets attention from their owners, too). I love my doggy. ❤

More treats & more Pupdates...yes, please!! ❤️🐾🐾

This is to Kelly and Mary Beth. I hope the both of you live happy and fulfilled lives. For what you did for Wang, with how traumatized he was, you both deserve so much good news in life!

Such a great happy tail/tale. Clearly his new parents are savvy enough on introducing a new dog to the home.

We had a family German Shepherd dog from before I could remember. She passed away when I was 15. She was the sweetest dog ever. Her name was Lady, short for Lady Jane. I love German Shepherds.

I can't believe Wang has been there for so long... he's a beautiful soul. I just knew your video would touch someone and what an awesome family. They are treating him with kindness and understanding 🙏😇. Thanks for all you do😊

The puppy is a peach colored Border Collie mix!! Great great sweet and affectionate,working dog!!! This puppy is a diamond in the rough!!!! Save this sweet baby.

I just love Katie! I hope she gets a fabulous home soon. She deserves it. Such a loving dog even after all she has been through.

I have a Belgian Malinois mixed with a german shepherd and two others mixed buy everyone fears him ( the Belgian) his name is Rocko. People tell us that we should put him down and cage him away. I wouldn't do that. He can be aggresive towards other dogs ( not the other two we have) and we keep him away from harming any other dog. But he is just a big dog with the friendliest personality ever. He is so playful and he loves humans. He is turning 12 years old on June 18th.

I wear my WANG T-shirt with Pride! He is the most handsome and Goodest boy deserving of ALL the scunches, cuddles, belly rubs, snacks and LOVE for the rest of his days! Love you Good Boy, Thanks Rocky ❣🐾

I can't explain just how much your ❤positive affirmations❤ move me

Wang/Wayne found paradise!!

I adopted a German Shephed Dog just like Weng from a shelter. The person who adopts Weng will have a dog that will love you like no other! This is Pupdate so this beautiful dog did get a home. Dogs know when they have been rescued! You ask his/her lucky owner, Weng is his shadow; a more loyal, loving and thankfull dog can never be found. Jackpot!!.

I'm supposed to be getting ready to go to the store and not watching this video😂😂😂😂 I just can't stop myself😊

That square nose. That is such a pure bred. My great grandpa use to train the German police dogs. So I have never been afraid of them. I think people think they are violent but these dogs can be trained through their whole lives. My dog just heard the barking and she is looking for the dogs lol.

Flip Coffee - Just received a week ago, my husband absolutely LOVES Flip! He wants me to order more now so we never run out. Flip is our forever coffee!!!

We brought home a Border Collie that had been hanging around a mall for a few days... We opened our car door and she jumped right in. We tried to find it's owner but ended up keeping her for 12 years. Lots of good/bad stories about her but we'd do it again :)

So happy I found this community.

Just discovered your channel from RU-vid recommandations in France here (through the original video with Wang). As a GSD owner and lover of the race i'm very touched by this dog and the way you handled the approach. Every dog shouldn't be in a shelter, but there is a thing in sheperds that makes them some of the worst to be there. They are so close to humans, and so sensitive that they don't get what's happening to them, and being all curled up like that in a corner isn't a big surprise. Mine would just turn into a corner, reactive, barking distressed dog i a few days i'm sure of that. Your channel is a godsend for all those dogs.

Proof that Rocky is a kinder person than I am. I would have asked to move the dog who was surrounded by noisy neighbors. He recruited help to pass out treats to the loud dogs.

I grew up with German Shepherd babysitters. They were so gentle with me. Bossy, they reported to my mom. ❤❤❤❤❤❤Wang is handsome.

To the people who took the German Shepherd…. I love you. You look like Shepherd people. Make it a lifetime for the whole family.

All the dogs are so gorgeous but my heart went out to the last pup Katie , my heart melted and the tears fell … I just wanted to reach through the screen and make her sadness go away … i live over the pond but if I were there she would be mine ! Just love what you do

Yyyyaaayyy Nothing better than nearly 2 hours of Rocky & Pupdates.

Thank you Rocky for doing this for the doggies. You are a true hero to them

Honestly, Rocky…I watched the original video of this poor guy. His eyes had me in tears. So telling. To think he went a year without the love and touch he needs. Absolutely heartbreaking. Ty for what you and your wife do. You are amazing.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

Dori is just adorable! I li er her face!! ❤❤❤❤ I know rescue is free but I can't afford an animal when I can barely afford me. She deserves a great home!!

Katie is such a sweet lil baby girl! She deserves a WONDERFUL home!

Loved this. We have a Shepherd, Palu, He just barely turned three. He has double dew claws. One darker eye, his ears point in. He honestly looks so much like Batman He points his nose in the air and howls when the dogs make noise on your show. It is hilarious!

I’m SO EXCITED & THRILLED for Wayne !!! He is exactly where he is supposed to be & with the best family for him !! ❤❤❤❤

He’s so cute.

Sweet Katie. Just broke my heart seeing her. And when you scooped her up, the look on her sweet face. She was so overwhelmed with love. That was so sad and so sweet. I Love ALL the dogs but she is one I'd love to have. She's so sweet and just wants to play.🥹 I already have 4 rescue doggos but will be praying for her and ALL the poor homeless babies everywhere. Love you Rocky and everyone else who is there helping these poor babies. 💞 🐾

80 lbs, lol. I have 3 Irish Wolfhound/Great Dane mixes that range from from 120-200 lbs, this guy is a cute little guy.

He is absolutely beautiful! His face and structure are perfect. You couldn't buy a Shepard this perfect.

I think poor little Katey has been on the street all alone her entire young life. It breaks my heart to think she was taken away from her mom and left on the street, not knowing how to provide for herself and it took a whole year before somebody saved her.

Thanks for the pupdates!

Give him more treats ❤😂

❤Hope he gets his forever home.

Dori looks like a whole different dog! She just needed a lot of love and good human!

Rocky, all I can do right now is let all the ads run all the way through without skipping them to bring in more ad money. Thank you for what you do for these precious babies. Yahweh bless you abundantly!

Technical observation...keeping the overall "shelter noise" in the video, even reduced in volume, gave me a better perspective (and a wake up jolt) on what these poor shelter babies have to live with day after day after day. Talk about stress-inducing!! It's no wonder why they shut down emotionally! Thank you Rocky, for all you do...this is definitely your calling!!

So happy wang is adopted!

When I was growing up German shepherds where the dog to have everybody wanted one everybody thought they were great. And now this it’s gone full circle.😢

Koa’s such a sweet pup so happy he found his forever home ❤

There are so many angels in Wang's story! And those adopters are two of the best!!

Loving all the paintings in the back. See you’ll later! ❤

Happy Saturday all

Omg it hurts to see a beautiful majestic dog so shut down. He is spectacular but he has no idea. He will be an absolutely perfect family member or companion.

Rocky, you have been BLESSED with a heart of GOLD. TY❤❤❤❤

We need an east coast version of Rocky! I love what you are doing, Rocky! Thank you for being so good to the dogs who need you! ❤❤❤❤
