Here's what happened to Macy the Skinny German Shepherd | Pupdates 

I happened to see this pop up in my feed and I have to watch so I never take her for granted. You'll be happy to know that this week commemorates 3 months that she's been with us. It's a wild ride. She is no longer the little toughie desperate street dog. She finally got full. Lol. Now she is a lady of leisure and sophistication. She eats carefully now and will walk away from food if she's had enough. And she now understands that ladies of refinement accept food in a gentle manner. 😊 On the flipside, she looooves playing in water and is a big tomboy digging in the dirt even though mommie says that's a nono. She still prefers outside to inside, even if it's 100 degrees. Lil miss is often sunning herself eating her favorite bone. I still don't have her exact weight. The vet's scale was broken!!! I am guessing she is about 60ish pounds. She's basically double the size she is here in this video. She continues to improve on her training every day (& mom too!). She is the sweetest, intelligent, has a big sense of humor and still loves her meals even if she leaves some for later. She is quirky as all get out in the best possible way. She is afraid of the water hose even though she dunks in the pool. She is even afraid of towels. Bathtime will be real soon. And you know she will make sure I get my fair share of wet. 😂 Mel what's your secret? You're the best❤ She still works the whine. She's a bigtime daddy's girl (jealous!) And she uses that whine and he just melts. She is my shadow too. Girl power! We just love her so darn much I can't stand it. I can never thank you all enough for taking exemplary care of my sweet girl. Massive group effort I know. We've been blessed by you all. ❤❤❤

Again, can we please get some money together to send Mel to a spa?? She does so much for these sweet babies and she deserves a spa day ❤❤

Valerie’s passing hurt my heart

I adopted an emancipated Pug. He was found wandering on the streets and brought to the local shelter by a Good Samaritan where a rescue picked him up. He was chipped, but when they tried to contact the owner, they found out she had passed away almost a month earlier. Her relatives didn’t want him, so I got lucky and he’s part of my family now.

Valerie passed knowing that her life was worth it, that she was someone. She felt safe, and she felt loved. Valerie was not alone, having amazing people by her side, and that's huge! Thankyou for showing us these lives and helping every animal you can. Run In Paradise, sweet Valerie, over the Rainbow Bridge 🌈🐶

German Shepherds are beautiful, wonderful dogs. I cannot imagine the cruelty of these people to allow her to get in the shape she was in. Thankfully, she has a loving family now.

Still crying over Valerie, such a sweet pup who deserved so much more! RiP! Run free and healthy over that rainbow 🌈

People crying doesn't always move me, but dogs crying breaks my entire heart 😢

This made me cry. Hearing her sob just broke my heart. I’m glad she’s there. Thank you Rocky for sitting with her and lovingly touching her.

Rocky I decided to give you some positive affirmation. You are a good boy, you are loved by all your internet fans. We are glad you’re here and you deserve all the praise you get on here. ❤️

Losing Valerie hurts a lot, but you're right, she got to leave this world loved. And any kind of love, no matter how brief, matters ♥♥

I have always rented larger apartments with my husband. Then our dogs passed of old age, and I moved into a one bedroom spartment where I couldn't keep a dog. Now, thanks to the Emotional Support Animal law (and 20 years in the military), I can adopt a small dog to join me in my very small, one bedroom apartment. I have just enough room for a little buddy willing to watch my six.

Rocky, you thanked everyone but yourself for nursing Macy back to health and putting her in a wonderful forever home. So, thank you from the bottom of my heart, for giving Macy and the others a much deserved second chance and giving me hope in humanity. And love the updates ❤

Macy is why I joined. Thank you to everyone involved in restoring her to health. I will forever love her, now Lucy. To see Lucy with her hooman mom Sherri has made my day. Me and my husband are mom and dad to two rescue pups so my heart really wept, but now rejoice over Lucy. Lucy, you go girl, you are forever loved.❤

Her cries when you started to pet her just breaks my heart. That poor baby😢.

To know, you're NOT the one for that dog, is SO STRONG! That family made way for Macy - Lucy to find her true forever home. If you adopt a dog with an iffy feeling, because you have a sense of plight or duty after a first meet and greet... That's not good. So thank you to that family for being honest and knowing their limits! Bravo!

Ahh man it broke my heart to hear that Valerie didn't make it but she was shown love before she died.

Have you ever had to be strong through suffering for so long that eventually a simple hug opens up a floodgate to the needed healing sobs? That’s what I thought of when Macy cried.

She’s precious!! So lively given her initial condition. I worked as a volunteer until I met an 11 year old, terribly underweight, and traumatized. I took her home wanting to get her back to health and let her pass in a home. She lived another 6 years!! Died happy and loved while her best friend was staying with us which helped my grieving tremendously 🐾💕

I would no more give up on a dog than I would give up on a child.❤❤❤ They are so worth it. Such unconditional love

I’m so thrilled about Macy! Those cries just melted my heart into pieces. And Valerie…I just had high hopes that she would make it out and into a loving home but you are absolutely right in saying that she did live long enough to feel loved and cared for. After our black lab of 14 years passed, we cried every day for a week before running to the rescue and we found our Chow/German Shepherd mix in a similar state. It just hit our hearts and brought her home. She was found in the desert, emaciated, with 8 puppies. Her owner was found but turns out she was no longer wanted when she got pregnant. When we love an animal, it is for life. I truly respect what you do and how big your heart is. What you do is truly a big deal. Thankful to find this channel.

When I saw Valerie, I just had a sense she wouldn’t make it…but she was so soulful. Beautiful eyes

Sending love over the rainbow bridge for Valerie, and all the pups like her 💜 I believe that sometimes an animal fights to hold on just long enough to have a peaceful goodbye. They don’t want to die alone and starving and scared, but once they get to that safe and loving place and they know they can’t win the big fight, they peacefully let go. And as sad as it is, I think sometimes the greatest gift we can give to is tell a suffering animal *“It’s ok, we love you, you did so good. If you need to let go, it’s ok. You are safe, you are loved, and you can rest now.”*

Thanks for saving Macy!

I burst into tears when I saw how Macy/Lucy see her mom for the first time. She just KNEW. ❤ That is how my (rescue, GSD mix) dog acted the first time we met. She had been up for adoption for 5 months. We were destined to be together because it is amazing that she was not snatched up right away. She was the perfect fur child.

WOW, the way Macy & Sherry just GRAVITATED to each other like LONG LOST family...😭❤🌠

God bless Valerie. She is running and chasing rabbits with all the beautiful dogs we have all had that passed from this world. ❤

I adopted an adult boxer who’d been used for breeding then dumped on the street. She’d been in foster care for months and you could still count every bone along her spine and all her ribs. She was a paunchy potato when she passed away some years later. I’ll never, ever regret adopting her, spoiling her and helping her learn to dog. Adoption is the way.

Mel is such a super hero. Can you imagine how comforting that bath had to be for Macy?

Thank you for adopting Macy!! It was a miracle.

Thank you for all that you do.

I love what you do with these dogs. I’m a dog person myself but, I LOVE all animals. I will never understand how anyone can abuse any animal. Dogs love you unconditionally and depend on you for everything. Seeing Macy cry just asking for pets and food. What a sweetheart. I cried over this precious fur baby. ♥️

I'm just in tears - so happy for Macy/Lucy! When she immediately started licking Shrri's face, I knew it was meant to be!

I am so sad for Valerie 😢 Rest and peace precious Valerie. My heart BREAKS

My daughter adopted a German Shepherd in similar shape to Macy. Simba was 35 pounds when they adopted him and was super anxious. He’s now a gorgeous 85 pounds and is completely attached and devoted to my daughter and her husband.

My pleasure to help... It is an honor to join everyone in this amazing journey to save these wonderful living little souls from such pain, I absolutely love dogs but I am highly allergic and no treatments have ever helped hold off my asthmatic reactions.... But I sure can love them from afar right now until medical science meets me halfway LOL. Please continue this wonderful labor of love and I will enjoy all the love that's given to these wonderful doggies everyday. Thanks so much for letting me be a part of your wonderful work.. xo

I full on sobbed for Valerie. Rest in peace beautiful girl. You deserved so much better ❤❤❤

I adopted a 3 yr old dog that came up from South Carolina. He was part of a police raid on a house. The owner went to jail. His THREE dogs went to a HUGE 4000 dogs a year shelter! What I learned is that they didn't know how to play with other dogs. I got one of them. He likes to run and play with me... chill around the house with people... but is quite selective with other dogs and otherwise doesn't even know how to play! He's friendly enough and indifferent. I LOVE him! My Richie! Macy/Lucy reminds me so much of my Richie!

Macy/Lucy has been blessed by entire teams of Dogologists who love her! Thank you, Miss Sherri, for being Lucy's PAWFECT FUREVER home!! 🥰

What a great ending for Macy's story. And I was really pulling for Valerie, she was so sweet and gentle. She ended her life with a full belly, warm/dry, and experiencing love. That's what a dog can only hope for in life. Nice to hear Arthur got to be reunited with his humans. He's a GOOD boy. God bless you, Rocky, Kelly, and Alexa.

There needs to be a worldwide public education program on how to care for pets, they are a responsibility, and to turn them over if you cannot feed the or feel you will hurt them. It’s so wrong to let them go through this. ❤

I’m so happy Valorie knew she was loved. This update made me smile and cry my eyes out 😢

Watching Macy meet her mom really warms my heart so much!!! Sending so much love to Sherri and Lucy

It's so healing to see your network WORKING.

My female GSD is 100 lbs. Undoubtedly a tad overweight, but to see this poor sweet girl a total skeleton turned the tear factory on full blast. What monster did this to her??? I hope she goes to a good home and that she doesn't have kidney or other organ complications from such malnourishment 🤞 She is SO sweet. Crying in your lap, telling you her heartbreaking story. They're so vocal to begin with, she definitely has a LOT to say. What a friendly sweet girl. Hope you can find her the right person to help her heal and give her a well deserved forever home💔

We rescued a 9yr old French Bulldog that had been used for breeding. She was almost as emaciated as Macy. She's a Wonderful dog.

Thank you for the pupdate, I follow her because she put up with sooo much handling that hurt and never once offered to snap or bite. That's a GREAT dog!

Sherri and Lucy! If you are here, big hugs to you both! Sherri if you need anythin, let me know! I am so happy for you both! ❤❤❤🎉

Oh my heart 💔 I'm so sad to hear of Valerie's passing... She deserved a life that was so much kinder. I'm grateful she was able to know love before she left this world

I remember Sherri commenting and thinking 'Yes! This is the person for this dog.' Some things are just meant to be. I believe God puts us where we need to be and that's what he did here.

Over the rainbow. A wonderful way to remember. All dogs go heaven. 🐺

So happy for Macy/Lucy’s beautiful Happy Tails!!! Congratulations!🎉🎊 Also very sorry to read about Valerie. She was blessed to not die alone on the streets but with someone who loved her and so many who gave her love! May she chase many squirrels across the rainbow 🌈 bridge!!! Arthur the King! I actually am very happy he is back with his humans! He was very brave while he waited for the situation to be resolved! Good boy Arthur! (The movie was great! We saw the day I watch YOU😊!)

Thank you so much for being on this journey with Macy you helped save her life ❤🙏

Her crying just breaks my heart, it takes so much for a dog to show their pain. Thank you for getting her out there for people to learn about her story

Seeing Macy /Lucy running around her own swimming pool and her love for Sherri just makes my heart full. Lucy could Love humans even in the worse condition (due to humans), dogs teach us humans about forgiveness, not holding grudges. So happy for both Sherri and Lucy❤😊❤

❤❤❤❤to the wonderful lady who adopted macy! macy loves and gets love!

I am so happy for Lucy! Valerie is such a sweetheart. No animal should have to go through what they have gone through.

RIP Valerie 😥 So glad Macy/Lucy got a new home, thank you so much Sheri.

My Chi owns our home...and everything he sees. He believed me that first day when I said, "This is all yours, your home forever. Come in." A rescue so abused and fearful for his first 5 years even after 5 years of peace and being adored he still reacts to sudden loud or metallic noise. If only I knew everything he suffered. But he doesn't shake anymore or fall on his back in surrender, seeming to wait for punishment. When I tell him no I always pet him and tell him I love him. He gets it. He's the best behaved Dog I've ever known. I made him a sanctuary and he will go there many times to look out his window or nap. He's 10 years now and the best boy ever❤

So glad Arthur’s family came to get him. He’s a great dog and now he can be happy again. Thanks to Rocky! ❤

You're right, Rocky! Anything is better with dogs. 🐕💕🐶💕🐕❣️

Your King-sized heart saved her life Rocky! I'm so proud to be part of a large family of subscribers that care about these poor pups!!

I love these Pupdates! Elated for Macy, devastated about dear Valarie, and relieved for Arthur! In Arthur's case, it just goes to show that the influence of these videos really does have impacts one might not imagine-- they touch the heart and most of us have good ones (even landlords)! Oh, and I immediately thought Arthur was a German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix-- big, handsome, and those Rottie eyes that convey his teddy bear spirit. Amazing stories. Thanks!

If only dogs could talk we would know how they ended up there. Thank you, Rocky for taking care of these lost dogs and restoring their souls.🐾🐾🐶❤️❤️

So excited to finally see how Macy is doing! 💜

Hearing that, Valerie died made me cry. Thank you for helping her❤❤❤

I couldn’t hold back the tears. She was crying because she finally felt safe. She was finally allowed to let her guard down not be so guarded she allowed herself to the pleasure to relieve some of that build up emotion by crying. You are such a special person to do what you are doing for them, gaining their trust by your patience, understanding. I cannot thank you enough for what you do for them. Thank you for caring, sharing.

So beautiful to see Macy/Lucy and Sherri 💜 I truly believe there’s a sort of soulmate connection between certain animals and humans, and somehow fate finds a way to bring them together. I’ve been blessed enough to find my soul-cat, I went into the shelter with a solid idea in mind of what I was looking for… but then I met eyes with my girl and knew immediately that I was her mummy. She wasn’t what I thought I was looking for, and there were logical reasons why she wouldn’t be the right pick, but I knew in my heart that I belonged to her and we’ve enriched each other’s life so much 💜

So very sorry about Valerie 😢

So happy Macy found her forever home and became Lucy!

She is so loving and trusting with all she's been thru.

I had the smallest involvement last week in transferring almost 100 dogs from a terrible " rescue" hording then abandonment situation in Honduras. It was a heroic feat and almost a year in the making by selfless determined volunteers who assisted over 500 animals from a life of suffering. Long story short, I spoke very highly of your channel and thought a lot about all you have taught ,while interacting with these sweet souls. Good news , they made it to the States and many are adopted or in foster situations, but like you say the best of life is still to come for these pups, the hardest part is over for them now. Thanks for all you and your team do🎉 you are an inspiration!

Sherri is an angel in disguise. Thank you Sherri and Rocky for being such angels for Lucy.

So broken hearted. 😢😢. No pup/animal deserves this treatment. She been starved, and mistreated. She needs a forever loving home. Her crying has me in tears 😢😢😢.

I’m so very sorry to hear that Valerie had crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I was really pulling for her. Thank you and the others that helped her feel the love she deserved before she crossed. There is a special place in Heaven for these precious ones and people like you 😊❤️🐶🙏🌈

So happy for Arthur - he was very well taken care of , you coukd see that. He was so sad about being separated from his family that i just knew they were just as sad. I am also happy for Lucy/Macy and her new mom! Finally, Valerie - i lost my German shepherd last year. It was good that Valerie had love and good care when she needed it most. Thank you for this channel and the love you have for these dogs. Dogs are the best people!

Bittersweet. Macy's happy ending has my heart full of joy. It hurts to know about Valerie but she left being tremendously loved. I'm torn about Arthur the King. I hope we can get an update about Arthur though.

You can literally see her skeleton! Poor sweet beautiful dog!!! I hope you all can get her back to good health and she gets a loving caring master!!!! 💕

Thank you Shari for adopting Macy or now Lucy. You made a lovely dog so happy and thanks to Rocky in taking on the monumental task of her rescue and vet bills and seeing her recovery to the point of allowing her health to qualify for adoption. All around epic journey for a little shepherd from the beginning to home sweet home. I love dogs.

Oh my what a beautiful Macy girl. She needs so much love! She ate once you loved on her for a minute or two. Very telling. *Thank you Rocky!* Be glad the peach pit was whole; they have bad toxic stuff inside the shell.

Poor little Macy gave me all the feels!! I'm so glad that Lucy is now in a loving home. Happy tears! We need these happily ever afters, and Rocky you are such a special soul. ❤❤❤

Ok, Im crying with Macy/Lucy and her Mom. Wishing them all the very best!!❤

It made me cry when Macy cried on Rockies shoulder. That was heartbreaking 😢. Im so glad these dogs got homes. ❤

Danke!

Ugh, I needz the pupdates, Rocky. I know the animal rescue world can be ugly and sad, and I watch your videos, and so many others. It breaks my heart. I need a dose of happy ending every once in a while.

I am so sad that Valerie passed!! I know she is in Heaven running free and healthy and happy!!!RIP, Sweetheart!! WE WILL MISS YOU!! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!! ❤

We LOVE you Rocky. You’re a GREAT doggie DAD.❤

Thanks for all your commitments and love to all these gorgeous dogs.

We rescued a dog like this once. Sadly, he was neglected medically, too. We got him healthy weight wise, but he developed distemper. I hope life is better for Macy!

I love Macy. Her tail was wagging so joyously when you gave her the cookies.

Thank you for rescuing, caring, loving all your dogs..I admire your compassion, and kindness towards them.. God bless you and your shelter.. 🙏❤️ 💜❤️💜❤️💜🎉🎉🎉

Macy smile whilst in the car with Rocky was priceless❤

She’s got such an amazing temperament.

Rocky, the news about Valerie is devastating !!! I can't stop crying and can only hug & kiss my 2 Pitties that Valerie reminds me so much of!!

When you get a dog you always have to consider everything, not only because it is beautiful but because it will have to receive all the attention in the world for its entire life and is like a member of the family. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

RIP sweet Valerie. I’m so glad that you were shown so much love and left this Earth knowing that people really cared about you.

I am devastated that Valerie did not make it.....unfortunately not all can be saved. Thank you Rocky for all you do.

Thank you Sheri!! And everyone !!

Tears of joy for Macy/Lucy. She found an amazing forever home that will be so amazing for two! I love feel good stories like this.

I loved getting this great pupdate on Macy/Lucy. Her new name made me smile because my rescue dog is named Mazie Lucy.
