Watch the moment this scared Yorkie decides to come out of hiding 🥹 

Let's get eyeballs on these scared but brave little Terriers 👏

I adopted a Boston Terrier from a puppy mill. He had never been out of a cage in his 2 years of life. He was a basket case, he knew nothing of the world except humans are not good. It took 6 months of gently working with him before he responded. I then rescued another Boston, a little female. When I brought her home they played together and then he jumped up on the couch and licked my face…for the first time! As if to say thank you human. He still has some fears but he’s a loving boy once he gets to know you. Now, I’ve recently adopted another rescue, a Yorkie-Poo that is scared when he meets new folks, but it doesn’t take long for him to warm up to them. The more we socialize him, the better he gets. Love them all. Thanks for all you do for these lovely creatures.

We adopt senior rescued Yorkies. They are asleep next to me right now. They are big dogs in little packages. Hugs to this guy.

A local rescue group asked me to foster a terrified dog who was released from a puppy mill. She was supposed to be a breeder. That was four years ago. She's currently snoring in my bed. I'm so glad she adopted me.

They are not in shock thank God! I adopted a puppy mill survivor who was 4 and was very abused. He came to me in shock and was a lot of work. He then lived with me for the next 15 years and was never normal but he was loved and loved his life! He laid next to me in bed every night and was so happy and not normal but loved for who he was. I think he may have reached 20 before he died but he fought so hard to stay here. I stayed with him until he passed and talked to him throughout his transition and it was a lot of work but well worth it.

I lost my Jack Russel (George) of 17 years on June 7th I found your channel that very same day. Today I dropped off all his old toys, beds, coats, leads, poo bags and food. I also picked up his ashes. The shelter was so kind and gave me the option to sit with dogs for a couple hours, and I have left the shelter with a German Shepard called Sasha, She's only 1 but is very well trained (her old owner passed away suddenly and no one in the puppy's family could look after Sasha) but was just as scared as the first pup in this video. But I sat with her for almost 2 hours, and she just came out of her shell. I want to say thank you for doing all this amazing work with the dogs in shelters. Having now sat with dogs I now even more than before have appreciated all the work you do for these dogs, Thanks for also being my destress after work each day. EDIT: i want to say that i appreciate the kind words from everybody, It has helped me have a smile. When i woke up this morning i saw two things one Sasha sitting outside my room looking sad, i gave her some pets and love she cheered up loads, then i walked into the kitchen she had done a poo in her water bowl. I laughed so hard it was the funniest thing in a while, I know know she might need to go more than my 17yo. But everything is a learning curve. Once again thank you for the kind words!

I adopted a cat who came from a hoarding situation of about 90 mostly black cats. My sweet girl had been a resident of my local shelter for 6 months, she was extremely shy and shut down. I brought her home a little over a year ago and she is really starting to warm up to me, it takes time and patience. Last week she crawled into my lap for the first time! Do take a chance on these needy creatures. You could be adopting the best pet ever!

Rocky, today I had a real breakthrough with my pet bird Petie while watching this show. She has been with me for two years or more. She has been very friendly with me but would not let me pet her. Today, she put her little head down and did not pull away when I pet her. For sure, she is going to go down in my journal as one of her most noteworthy moments of our time together. 🎉😊🎉

Hi. Cute little terriers. I hope they find wonderful homes. I have dealt with many ferals over about 30 yrs from age 5 until my present age of 68. I have dealt with dogs, cats, other wildlife, injured creatures, I learned how to deal with them from personal experience owing guidelines from TV to experienced pet owners to vets I met with my own pets. I admire you and the work you do. Plan to spread word and your videos as I hope to join and encourage others to do also. Approaching the pups the way you do and did reminds me of my techniques with ferals. Time and patience works wonders. Even a little of each goes a long way.😊

I’ll come from Florida to get this little guy! I lost my Yorkie a few years ago and his spirit is telling me to get this guy! 🥰

I adopted a bitey small dog. The vet tech said get welding gloves from the hardware store, so I did. When he was biting my gloved had, I said calmly “ you know you aren’t hurting me.” His entire head swiveled around and from then on he respected me. I miss him. He was such a good dog.

Adorable dog. I had a Yorkie who we absolutely adored and heartbroken when she died from kidney failure.

We adopted a 7 month old unsocialized golden retriever in March. It is a process. His progress isn’t linear but he’s progressing.

I’ve got. 15 year old Yorkie and he has been the most amazing companion. So funny and loving. Fingers crossed for this one.

You can tell he has never had positive affirmations given to him and once he realized he liked that he turned around even more and got so brave... What a sweet and brave boy!

Dude there are no words for how grateful I am to you for what you do I'm in no position to help anything barely myself even but this absolutely gives me hope for humanity you give me hope for humanity brother

OMG! He’s taking treats from your hand!!! Brought some tears of amazement and joy to my eyes. 😊

My heart breaks for these little darlings. May they each find a forever home.

OMG! I'm 72 and have 2 just like him! If I was 10 years younger......❤

So very sorry for poor little baby! I have a Yorky and he gets really scared too! Pray that he gets to a loving home forever! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

How is that someone have the soul to abandon this little creature ! 😢😢

Because of Rocky, I tell my Papillon "you're a good boy" every day, and several times a day! Every dog needs to hear that!!💕💕🥰

I don't think people really understand what a fearful dog is all about. I have a dog like this, had him from puppy and he is still fearful. People will ask me what happened to him and I just say it's part of his personality. He's great with me but always fearful of strangers. Once he gets to know you he's fine, it just takes awhile. My dog could never be adopted on his own, but he's not going anywhere. I love him just the way he is.

Poor sweet lamb, to be so terrified. My heart breaks for him, he just wants to be safe.

I thought I knew a lot about dogs, having shared my life with them for decades. No. Your ultra patient interaction with this darling little scruffy has taught me a lot.

😂😂. I get all teary eyed because you are trying so hard to get him to accept you then you say I’ll give you the whole treat, my house & my car and I had to pause the video to laugh and comment. You’re so amazing. Glad you moved that bed as soon as you possibly could. Much respect for you and all the love you have to give. ❤

I have learned that little dogs need to be treated with respect. They are frequently manhandled especially by strangers.

OMG😢 I am Yorkie rescue mom, and this breaks my heart. Love to this little one.❤❤

Poor little guy is so cute but he was so afraid of being hurt

That magical moment when he takes the treat is so amazing, so heartwarming that he made that decision!

Rocky, you are the BRAVE one. You are awesome and patient and kind. I am in happy tears!! Thank you for all you do ❤

People are not honest about giving up the pups because they are shamed even if they are doing the only thing they can. I have been shamed trying to get medical help for my dogs even though I feed them instead of myself regularly. I get dog food instead of people food and cry because I can’t get them vet care. I was working and had a great life when I got them. Never knew my life would crash and burn.

You have a wonderful heart Rocky!!!

We have a shelter dog, it took her about 2 months to really get used to us but OMG 5 years later she is the best dog I have ever had.

OMG Rocky's affirmations are like spiritual advice for anyone.

How sweet to see Ramses freely roaming around the pen❤

How lucky Ramses is to have met you. I feel lucky to have met you.

Oh Rocky, this is so sweet. Such wisdom of how the little guy is getting out little by little. It's like when a toddler is learning to venture out a little. They come running back to touch base with the trusted adult and then venture out again.

I got a dog as a foster, I now am his Mama, 8 months ago. He will let me pet him when he's in his bed. However, he won't come to me & I can't pet him away from his "spot." I just keep sitting with him each day & telling him he's a good boy & mama loves Willy.

Speaking from experience- Adopting a dog like this can be the best decision! If you have the patience to let them build their trust in you, you'll have a best friend for LIFE!

I love what you’re doing - God bless you!!!

Definitely neglected. So sad. They want to be loved but probably never had any.

❤❤My Prayers Are With You!! Lets Get ALL The Pups ADOPTED❤❤

They all look so cute, it's heartbreaking how scared they are right now, they deserve all the cuddles in the world! ❤

Poor babies. All of them. Thank you all for taking them in and finding homes for them.

You do so much good for these animals. You have so much patience.

As a rescue yorkie owner his behaviour seems very typical - they are so sensitive and need to bond with their special human - they seem to mix fight and flight together- they have a lot of guarding, ratting (hunting) and protecting behaviour, so when they are afraid they don’t know what to do (they are very clever high functioning working dogs) needing enrichment and training to stimulate- but win one round and you have a dedicated partner for life - my girl is too attached to me so I adopted another ex breeder(imperial shih tzu- totally different non working dog breed, would happily be a lap dog) from rescue who was terrified (I adopted her because she was terrified and I knew I could help her , the breed was irrelevant ), for them to bond together; its working and they are both doing well and are very happy teaching each other to chill

You do such an amazing job with these dogs. Its beautiful to watch and hope they all get adopted. Wondweful work you do

I can understand the separation but I wish they could see each other like across the isle. Just a familiar face. I pray they all get adopted. They're so cute.

cute little puppers, sad they're so scared, glad the shelter called you

My dog was a stray. My daughter found her and brought her home. 8 years later she is thriving and sweet ❤

I have a 15 year old Yorki that I have had since he was a puppy. He is my baby. I can’t imagine ever leaving him anywhere or having him going through this kind of trauma. It just breaks my heart.

❤His brother that's all black with the white goatee reminds me of a little Gremlin!! They are all adorable gifts from God!! 😇🕊️💗🙏

Courage is moving forward even though your scared

Ramsey has come so far so quick, both are amazing thank you for all you do Rocky.

You are growing coffee in America! God bless you what a miracle 🌿

Get so upset that people don't understand that a dog will act differently in shelters than a house environment.

I’ve had 3 yorkies and 1 morkie!! The poor, poor guy!! He needs a hug but doesn’t know it.

A wise Vet once told me that we don't always get the dog we want but we always get the dog we need. He believed each dog had something to teach us.

The positive affirmations really helped perk him up 🥰

It takes so much patience with these guys but so worth it! ❤❤❤

Adorable. Small dogs must feel so vulnerable.

"Love works!" Yes, it does, Rocky, and thank you for proving that every day. :)

My heart breaks for these separated babies. No wonder they are so fearful. I pray they find their furever homes soon with just the right family. I’m across the Atlantic, or I would be there in a heartbeat! 💚☘️🇮🇪

Bravery is not the absence of fear. Bravery is one's ability to evaluate a situation in a level-headed way despite one's fear.

God bless this man for his humanity.

So good to see your post come up , Rocky. Always lifts my heart ....to see a dog discovering love and acceptance....or even a human( like me)

Grew up with a Scottish Cairn Terrier, his parents were working dogs used for digging out fox holes, always ready to fight the fox or a shadow, super confident. Very intelligent and very unforgiving...his drive to dig, hunt, bite, kill was so strong, and not confined to foxes😬... ONLY ONE person could handle, kiss & hug him.... a Downs Syndrome child, he just melted for her...the bond between them would make a rock cry. He was a very 'proud' dog, unbelievable as it is, he allowed that child to hold, lift, to dress him up, comb his hair and tie a bonnet onto him - not a murmur - his 'love' for her glowed from his eyes 💘💝❤💞💕, Got to respect a working dog, especially one in an Easter bonnet.

Such a little family of cuties adoreable little dogs..

We appreciate you and everything you, Kelly, Alexis , and all the shelter staff do for these dogs 💖💖💖

that poor lil pup needs cuddles desperately! i do hope puppers feels the love soon!

You won his trust. He sensed your empathy

My heart melted when Ramses took the treat out of your hand! You are a real dog whisperer!

What a sweet sweet pup! They are all sweet but this little guy. I hope he finds his forever loving home! Once he is nutured he will be adorable for a family. Thank You for sharing Rocky. I hope the other little guys find their forevery home too they are really gorgeous pups.

Makes me miss my yorkie she passed away last year god bless you for your work you do each day ❤

The person who bought these 5 dogs to the shelter, is their Owner. 😠 If a stranger tried to pick them up they would have gone crazy from fear...

I saw him change when you talked about all of them in a box. He realized you cared.❤

« Fear is a reaction but true bravery is a choice »

His transformation made me cry happy tears 😊 He is a completely different dog now!

The smaller the dog the more anxious they can be. Imagine being so small and everything looking so big.

Love makes the world go round. I don’t understand anybody that would hurt an any animal child or baby. I just think you’re a little dog whisperer you do such a fantastic job. I hope you do well and selling your coffee. I might try some one day. I’ve got one of those new pots that push all the air out after you’ve taken the coffee, they’re brilliant thing to have the place to get them. They push all the air out so it’s like freshly opening the packet every time God bless you for your work.❤

Your an amazing person

It's so much fun how excited you get when the dogs take treats from you! I get it, I do. It's just so much fun to watch. Thank you, Rocky, for all you do.

All 5 are so beautiful.🎉 They have so much love inside them. ❤❤❤❤❤🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Your affirmations made the change, its was wonderful to watch. They don't understand the language but damn they sure get the intentions behind it.

After what was just a quick glimpse, there is something about Raven that stole my heart.❤

Thank you So Much for all your Kindness and patience from you and all the Team💛You all are those dogs human Angels to help them. Watch you with the little Yorkie while my sweet sister loved Yorkie sits beside me after playing fetch the ball.🩷Thank you all So VERY VERY MUCH✨

Rocky says “there’s always hope…” Love it! ❤️🥰😍

Rocky, my dog always has a horrible time every 4th of July with all the fireworks going off. But this year I used your “sitting with dogs” technique and it was amazing how well that went! When the fireworks started I started gradually feeding her tiny bits of cheese, that she loves. After a while she was so focused on when she was going to get that next tiny bite of cheese that it was like the fireworks were not even happening! Even later in the night when neighbors started their own fireworks, she didn’t freak out!

You are amazing! I love how you help those puppies and senior dogs get adopted. Thanks for doing this!

The being scared with his tail wagging is so precious while he’s eating treats. 😅😊❤❤❤

I was really moved by your thoughts on bravery. Thanks for all you do.

thank you SO much for what you do. He's so precious. I hope all 5 pups find terrific homes so they never have to feel scared and unloved again.

It breaks my heart to think about what these poor pups must have gone through. I hope they find the loving home they deserve soon.

Thank you for taking time with this precious, little, terrified guy who now is taking treats out of your hand. AMAZING!❤

Wow - as soon as he started saying the positive affirmations, the dog could read/understand and started to trust him! ❤❤❤❤

I rescued a shut down Rottie 4 yrs ago. It took 3 months for him to approach me. Now we are so bonded, so close. He was fear aggrwssive towards all other dogs. Now he can make friends, but each time he meets another dog, it takes rwal time for him to be with the other. So worth all the time it has taken to see him change and have a better life

this is so amazing pls keep comforting the dogs you are a good person ty

My heart is breaking. Thank GOD for you Rocky and your supporters
