Sitting with a dog Abandoned at 3 AM 😩 (All Caught on Shelter Security Cameras) 

poor dog I feel bad for her

Maybe she's a Chiweenie - Chihuahua Dachshund (Weiner dog mix)? Red smooth coat Doxie mix maybe.

Rocky she is a dachshund mixed with what looks to be a terrier of some kind. I’m almost wondering if she’s not mixed with a poodle. I know someone will say she know curly hair but anyone should know that when breeds mix you can’t always guarantee what will show in the puppies. But I know what doesn’t match a dachshund: legs are too long, ears are too short, nose is really too short and a little thicker than most and actually her paws aren’t big enough (IMO). However, she has the perfect demeanor for a dachshund and the limited eye contact is definite trait when they are young. She has definitely been in a bad situation and needs a loving secure environment. Also whoever adopts her needs to have some knowledge of dachshunds because of the issues with back problems and making sure they are careful of how she is lifted and carried.

Sylvie reminds me of a Chiweenie, a mixed breed of chihuahua & light red smooth coat dachshund (weiner dog).

02:18 Not the first time a Video of you/your team broke my heart.

You are too kind

Actually Rocky's voice has a calming effect on me too. Sometimes I watch sitting with dogs in bed just before going to sleep. Seriously the dogs mostly know he's talking about them so that helps them too, to gain their trust.

Hope4all, you said what was on my mind. The more Rocky speaks, it's part of drawing the scared ones out of their shells.

That's what I thought! There's a gentle cadence in his voice that is quite soothing.

Rocky’s voice is kind and positive. Naysayers seem to have a need to be critical.

He is so beautiful❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

@francoiset... - Do you mean _Rocky?_ This sweet little dog is a _female,_ named *Sylvie.*

Yes … not fair, but thank you kind man. Little angel deserves better hope she now gets a loving life.

IKR? 52 secs in and I'm crying already. That face.

My heart breaks for this little girl 💔 I’m sure she will find a home, she’s so beautiful. They need to be as loving as you are Rocky ❤

Like a dog who stops believing in her adorability. Happy Rocky was there ASAP.

You nailed it.

It seems like dogs can bring out the best and worst in people. Sylvie encountered both within only two years. Her fear and confusion are warranted.

💯true unfortunately 😢

How about their kids?

I.k.r. 😢

We don’t know what the person who gave her up was going through, so it’s best not to judge IMHO. 😢

Absolutely True . . .

Agreed!!! She deserves so much love, care, and patience!!

When I'm able to have a dog this is exactly the kind of dog I will look for. Nice size, short coat, pretty mellow, but wouldn't mind an evening walk or game of fetch. I think she would enjoy watching mysteries while snuggling on the couch. ..

She will

​@@bethenecampbell6463 she is perfect for that. Low maintenance but loves the walks.

She does look like that dog.

Agreed. I was impressed by his gentle manner and sensitivity. ❤

I agree. He was amazing.

I noticed and appreciated him, too.

Rocky, please shout out this doctor's name and give kudos to him. He's appreciated.

It's so wonderful to see vets like that! My dog has an anxiety disorder so vet visits are usually not easy, but last time we went for his blood tests, the vet went completely on his pace; asked if it would be easier to inject anesthesia on the table or on the floor, advised me to hold him so that he can see the "escape route" (the door) and just stayed relaxed and talked to me, mostly ignoring him. It was so great to see how little hassle that first injection can be and now I, too, know what to advocate for the next time we visit.

Right? And the failed escape run. Poor baby. I'm so happy they caught her.

I pray your blessings are many and pockets full so beautiful your supporting rocky Kelly and these precious babies ❤❤

God Bless you 🙏 antonioserranoelorriaga

Thank you for donating to help the fur-babies ❤

Give your money to the shelters, he already gets paid enough

I think he is a part time volunteer, and loves dogs dearly.

I think she’s a Chiweenie. Chihuahua dachshund cross I have one adopted him from Texas. They are very common in the south. They are a lovely breed. My whole family agrees that we would get another Chiweenie again we just love our dog.

I adopted my Chiweenie, Melvin, from Colorado Animal rescue 7 yrs ago. I had to visit him 3 times before he would come near me but I persevered and he quickly became the best, most loving, feisty Little Rock star. Totally different personality once I got him home ❤️

@@edibletcetera7354 I believe it!

@@edibletcetera7354 My Chiweenie is Dobby!

She reminds me of Honey, my first dog. The sweetest dog ever. She lived a long, happy life with me!

Me too. On a very limited income. I was able to save pennies and get a little rescue last January. He's my new love. I wish I could afford to buy his coffee to help the animals.

Me too. I do have pets: a dog and two cats, sometimes a guest cat. A guest cat is a stray cat who drops by. We live on an acreage in the country. I’m on a monthly allowance of $600. I have to get food for our family and other incidentals with that. Some months there’s nothing leftover for charity.

The beautiful thing is the people who can help, do. The people who watch, like, comment and share are also extremely helpful. Don't discount your contribution 🫶🏻🫂

You are doing good work by sharing…..thank you❤️

You do the things you can. Please do not apologize for not giving monetarily. Not everyone has the same resources. Every view helps the algorithm promote the channel to potential viewers. Just watching helps :) If your situation changes, you know where you might choose to donate. No guilt.

100%

My dog loves when I turn on these videos. He loves Rocky's voice.

@albeda.. - Aww, that's wonderful!

Seriously!

I told someone I would love to set with dogs,but I couldn't get it up.

I am so old that I can not even squat. If I could get the down, I couldn't get up.

@@joyadefoor2095 You sound like me, Joy. Simple things like squatting - or getting up when I fall, which I did a few weeks ago - are now major ordeals. 🙁

He's still young.

Me too

Agree. But I`m to far away, live in Norway.

i want her.. i used to have a weiner dog and he died when i was young. i'm disabled so would be great tomtrain as a e and disabled support dog. pls let me know how.

Me too, but I'm not allowed a pet here...I'd adopt so many if I could!

Let's hope they were just honest with themselves, and she'll get a better family in return. ; )

God help us all. If only we had some of your faith. It is truly beautiful. I'll try to think more like this. It is so helpful. Thank you.

Well, not all are abandoned but sometimes people fall on hard times and find themselves having to make hard decisions when they have limited resources. Don’t judge until you need the real reasons for an animal being in a shelter. 😢❤

I’m

Maybe your darling little lap dog would love to have a sister :) - Clearly you and your husband are wonderful dog parents - please consider adopting baby Sylvie!!! XXXOOO !!!

@j.g.7054 - Not if Sylvie would become the couple's *second* _"indoor dog"_ - I've only heard of "indoor _cats,_ which is done for their *safety* and that of the _birds and small animals_ that would be their natural *prey.* Keeping a *dog* constantly *_indoors_* would be _restrictive, limiting_ and _unfair_ to a *healthy, able dog* like *_Sylvie,_* who needs *_exercise, socialization,_* and to _feel the _*_grass_*_ beneath _*_her feet._*

​@@wholeshebang1 An "indoor dog" spends most of his or her time indoors... as opposed to a dog who is tied up or running around a fenced yard all day. Chihuahuas (like this one) & other small breeds are companion animals who are small enough to get exercise by walking around a home & an area to make potty. This chihuahua/mix would be a perfect "indoor" companion for elder folks. If you've never heard of a term, maybe ask & learn. Turns out you might not know everything.

Sylvie has A LOT of chihuahua in her, too. My guess is she's a "Doxy-huahua." (Not all chihuahuas are yappy & bitey) She IS beautiful & she would be perfect for you. I can't believe someone would abandon her. I'd take her in a MINUTE, too.

Unfortunately, I think that this shelter only adopts out to people who are local, or within driving distance (adoptee's responsibility).They don't ship dogs via airline. It could be that this couple doesn't live in California, or maybe they don't drive anymore. They may be homebound.

But mom flowers and chocolate 😂

Some people can’t afford a dog or lose their home😢 that’s why we see so many abandoned.

​@@CC-uq4hu Not feeling for them. They shouldn't get a pet if they can't afford. I'm sure they won't dump their own child if they run into financial difficulties. Those people should never have pets just like some parents should never have kids. So sad for the little ones. Hope they get what they deserve. Karma is a bitch.

Wow this Sophie got to me❣️I can’t believe people comment on things you are doing in a negative way. I guess it takes all kind. Thank you, for all you and the others do. Affectionately a supporter.

My husband said absolutsly no dog to my daughter. My daughted said, I will take fhe dog instead of a car for my 16th bday. My husband said DEAL!!! My daughted said shw made the best deal ever. No regrets!!!

Perhaps a Dachshund/Pekingese cross? Definitely Daxie in there!

@@colleenoehme240I’m thinking chaweenie. 👍🏻

Dachshund mix was my first impression, too.

Yes, that’s a red mini doxie. I grew up with one as a child. She would make a really good little sister to my current chihuahua who needs a buddy.

Hope you can get her❤

There was one available to her …it looks like they have the back kennel open for her. His blanket is touching it in the back. They must not be full. She has relatively short nails, so she was loved. Who knows…this may have been her human’s only option.

It says she escaped from the shelter.😢

She escaped from the shelter did she she is pretty

Yes, they brought her to a safe place so Rocky could help her.

I noticed that as well. His love for the animals fills the room. So wonderful 🤗

I agree, she needs to be the only dog in the family, I think maybe a older lady on her own, and they could spend a lot of loving time together ❤❤❤❤

Dachshund mix was my first impression, too.

Agree! Doxie for sure!

She reminds me of my cattle dog/chihuahua mix -- 100% good dog regardless

I wonder if there’s some corgi too? I Love those paws💕

I see doxie too.

Me too

There are weekly transports from shelters all over the country! Please contact animal friends of the valley shelter and inquire - these days it's pretty easy to move shelter dogs to other states for homes!

Why not check your local shelter to see if you can give a dog a good home?

​@@kcwalker46Your local shelter will have dogs that need a good home.

​@@MG-pj2ooTrue but it does take money away from the shelter. Better to visit your local shelter for a dog/cat that needs a good home.

Wow! You are incredible:))) ❤🙏

💯right!!

My sister and brother "tossed me aside" and _disowned me_ after our remaining parent, our father, died _16 years ago._ My sister is executor of his estate, and has withheld my inheritance. I'm disabled and live in poverty, with no money or advocate to intervene. People *_do_*_ abandon_ their family members, and _sadly,_ many *_do_*_ abandon_ and/or _mistreat_ their *pets,* when they are supposed to be their _"animal _*_guardians."_*

Thank you for your service and for saving your pup literally from the jaws of death.

@MsNappingcat Thank you. I always tell people the same thing. It was an honor to serve our great Nation and beloved Marine Corps. My puppy dog is now 2 yrs old, and she's sitting with me on our back porch here in Charleston, West Virginia

Semper Fi

Thank you for saving that baby. People can be cruel.

@@kathymcmc Yes Kathy, some people can be very mean.

5⁵ 😢😢😢the 😮😅

I said the same thing as your mom when we lost our second dog last January. After 3 months of saying that, my husband came to me and said “I want a dog. Any dog.” So I figured, well, if he really wants one, it’s inevitable. I started researching rescue dogs right away. A month later, we adopted a rescue pup from Texas Chihuahua Rescue. She arrives on June 29th. We’re ecstatic. 🙂. The heartbreak of losing them is horrific. But life without a dog just isn’t as meaningful or fulfilling. I hope your mom changes her mind in the future.

So very sorry for your loss. x

I'm sorry for your loss. We have all been there. I found the best way to honor a lost pet is to rescue another and give them the beautiful loving home. And they can help heal your broken heart from your loss. If you're not ready to adopt the shelters need as many fosters as they can get. my two rescue kitties saved me from a broken heart when I lost two suddenly. They never replace your lost pet but your heart grows.

Thank you for your service! I'm sorry for your loss.

@@MsNappingcat Thank You but I service Dogs Now! LOL

I’m sorry for your pain. Much Love

Hi 👋

😢unfortunately some people abandon, starve,hurt their children. There can't be enough of a deterant for them to stop this behavior. Something 😢😢😢has to change. Sooo many evil things happening!!!❤❤❤❤

Children and dogs are not equal.

Who are you to say? ​@@Vaahteranlehti

@@erikarnesen6052 It's completely different to abandon a child than a dog or do something to a child than to do it to a dog.

She is clearly part doxie and they can sometimes get attitude when around other dogs.

THank you Peter!

Dobby!! 🥰

Such a great name....Dobby. ❤

they look almost exactly like my dog as a puppy, she's also a rescue and we don't know her breed, and she's getting up there in years now, but Ive never seen a dog this close to my dog

I had a rescue named Kreacher 😁 when we first found him. He stole things from me and my husband and our 2 other dogs and hoarded them in a pile outside in the garden 😂

😆 that sounds pretty much like Kreacher. 😅

😂

😂

😂

I thought "Dachshund mix", too.

Agree! Ours is the same way!

Think she's crossed with a Jack Russell Terrier, our girl is exactly the same.

@@0409clearly I have a border terrier with ears like this and that color of coat.but this one does have the jack russell tail, I agree.

Doxy paws ❤

My condoleances. I wish you love and strength to get through your loss.

Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your mother. Peace and strength for your journey.

@@FLOKADO thank you

Condolences. Lost my mom a month ago. Hopefully the cats and you are adapting. It was kind of you to take them in.

@livesoutdoors1708 thank you

How interesting, I love learning the lives of the saints💖🌱💖

Thank you. 🙏

Such a beautiful and kind gift. ❤ 🐕

Wow,I love this story!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this!!!🫶🫶🫶💖💖💖

I live in Québec, and there's a small municipality near me named St-Roch-de-L'achigan named after said saint
