Watch this shelter dog react to her first toy 🥹 

She's at the clinic right now and we will pay for her spay or any other procedure she needs! Launching this vid to members first ad free as a thank you for all of the ongoing support! 🤙Appreciate all of you so much 🐶❤

OMG, The person who gets her will have the best dog as she is so obviously starved for affection and so willing to give it back ten fold.

that dog doesn't have an aggressive bone in her body. she was instantly ready for you to pet her.

Thanks! Sign me up to take this precious little girl. My wife and I are close and would love to have her.

that dog just wanted to be loved. how people hurt animals is beyond me.

I consider myself somewhat of a tough guy.... I'm from the streets, had a crazy hard life, i did 9 yrs in prison, seen it all, done it all and ain't scared of nothing... I'm telling you that because in spite all that, when i see videos like this, i start crying like a 5 yr old girl... 😢 😏 Goes to show you that what life has done to them, we can relate, and we see it in animals that have been hurt by others and part if me wants to knock out someone that would hurt a dog or kitty like that. Animals bring out the love and compassion we've forgotten because we know they're teaching us what we definitely need to learn. What is truly considered, unconditional love.... ☺️....❤️ 😁

Sad and fearful her whole life, but took just 10 minutes of care to be happy again. Dogs are the best.

sometimes self care is watching these videos and pretending ur the dog getting affirmation. like yea i AM a good girl and i DO deserve treats! katies the sweetest little thing she deserves the whole world

Her little tail wag broke my heart for what’s she’s been through but also lifted my spirits that she has a strength to survive and become a loved family member.

Please use these funds to rescue and find forever loving homes for these sweet babies. Thank you for the heartwarming content! 🥰😊🐶

I knew she was a pup. Her behaviour is like a pup because she's trusting A senior would have taken longer to come round. She's beautiful.

I think she's not as interested in the toys right now because she wants those pettin's right now. She's a love sponge right now! All those pettin's and the positive affirmations - that's what she's going to be focused on until she internalizes that she is fully loved and loveable. Once she feels fully secure, that's when she'll be much more playful. I adopted a dog like her once - he was just so needy, for a long time! Then he got really relaxed and happy.

It's shocking how neglected she looks but her desire to be loved is so strong. She's going to bring such joy to her forever home.

As a proud owner of a rescue dog, I can immediately tell this dog will make a great addition to any family...that skin condition will clear up after a few courses of medicated shampoo and conditioner...someone will be very lucky to get her!

PLEASE SOMEBODY ADOPT THIS BEAUTIFUL SOUL

The way she melted after the scoop was so precious. She loved being petted. She was in heaven.

What a beautiful baby girl! She’s a sweetheart. I would love that baby!

Looks like she’s got a real hunger for companionship. I bet she knows nobody wants to touch her, and that’s why she’s been so sad. She really wants a friend.

Mel, the groomer is a saint. I couldn't imagine grooming unhappy dogs, but she does it with strays and they all seem to love her. Thank god for her. I respect her so much.

Thanks for all the love!

Omg, my heart hurts. She wants human contact so badly. Just a kind word, a pet or a cuddle. Hopefully you will find her an extra special forever home. I love her already! Thank you for going the extra mile to turn her nightmare into a beautiful life.

Scars doesnt make her ugly! She is beautiful. She shows her true beauty through her behavior!

i’m gonna end up leaving a million comments on this holy crap but she’s just such a precious girl. all she wants is love and pets and cuddles. that’s all she wants 😢 she’s like “yeah i could get used to this” her putting her paw to ask for more 😭 I CANT

I absolutely LOVE how Rocky can ignore scabs, sores and maybe not the best smells, and scoop those puppers anyway. Holding them close and showing her love, maybe for the 1st time in her young life. I think she should be named Sunshine 😊💜

Thanks for helping this sweet baby!

I am reminded of my little girl cat; we found each other on the street. She was starved and desperate. I made an appointment with the vet for the following morning, but that night she didn't eat or drink. She wanted to. She was desperate ..and would chew a bit but couldn't swallow. Water wouldn't even go down. The following morning x rays revealed her insides were blocked by all the guck she had ingested on the street in an effort to survive. They hooked her up to an IV for nutrients and hydration and kept her for a week. She eventually was able to pass it all due to the hydration, but it took about 6 months for her insides to heal. This is something you really have to watch for in animals who have been trying to survive on the street. She is still with me after 6 years. She is a beautiful, dainty, extremely affectionate and healthy girl and a good sister to the other cat I had when she was found.

She is wagging her tail!!!! Even in bad condition she is beautiful. Please let me know if she comes up for adoption. My heart is full watching this. 🫶

I reached out to a beautiful girl, she has three litters and age was only two...I brought her home, had her mattered fur shaved and gave her a family love...she was with us for only four years due to a bad heart but she was loved big time......

Oh my ..she's waaay more interested in LOVE than food❤

I would adopt her “as is” and give her the best life ever!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️sweet girl💔💔

My husband and I adopted a Red tick Coonhound from a rescue group. She had been adopted and returned. Apparently they dragged her out of her crate, when they took the crate away, she hid under a table and they dragged her out from under that. They returned her because of that and not being house broken. She was scared of men, especially those over 6' with glasses. My husband is 6"4 with glasses. With a lot of patience and love he became her favorite person. She got to go on hikes, get cuddles and love, she knew she was loved and no one would hurt her ever again. I wanted to see her and adopt her because she looked so scared and shut down. We knew she needed love and patience and she is still in our hearts even though she's passed on. God Bless you for what you do to help these dogs.

Hi. I’m in the UK and we adopted a Belgian Shepherd who was a stray. She was very possibly the most affectionate, balanced dog we ever had. Unfortunately, she was also the most unwell her entire life. The shelter thought she was three years but turned out she was much younger. Crazily she suffered TMJ like myself. We lost her to cancer after six years and she left a huge chasm in my heart. I will never forget the day we adopted Xena. The staff brought her out to us and she reacted as though we were her people come to take her home! She hooked a paw around my husband’s leg and pressed her face into his knees. It was like saying “get me the heck out of here.” Definitely not a good place as we had no home check and she came out with kennel cough. It was just hand over your money and take her. We headed straight to the vet and got her sorted. It was the first time I’ve ever seen a dog sneeze green snot!!! Please, please, never overlook shelter dogs. They deserve all the kindness and love we can give.

Donation towards Katies spay or a comfort Toy if you have enough to cover the Spay. She looked so beautiful after her bath. I can't wait to hear that she's been adopted and that she will get all the love she so rightly deserves 💜 Katie your beautiful and you stole my heart too ♥️

She is starved for love and affection... Pretty girl!

I really appreciate that you didn’t say the word ‘bad’ out loud in case she understood that. Really kind and thoughtful ❤️

Unconditional love from you is providing her with the opportunity to reciprocate, which is probably foreign to her. My heart is simultaneously feeling anger, sadness, joy, and thankfulness.

She absolutely put a lump in my throat and heart. What an absolute sweetheart. Keep doing what you're doing.

I’d adopt her in a heartbeat. Any family that gets this girl will strike the lottery. You can tell she has such a pure heart.

This pup is wonderful. Someone is going to be so lucky to have her join the family.

It's apparent, this baby girl, doggy, has never had or been shown any love. Did anybody see, when Rocky did "the scoop" that her nose and head went up in the air? Just slightly, & both of her eyes closed, as if she was feeling like, "OMG. Nobody has ever touched me like that." That poor animal. Whoever left her the condition she's in, should go to jail. There should be a special jail for humans who abuse animals.

I rescued a 1 year old lab/greyhound mix who lived in a 3x3 cage the first year of her life with no attention. I had to teach her everything...literally EVERYTHING. She didn't know what a toy was and didn't know how to play either. She never learned but loved her toys. She would just carry them around and sleep with them, almost treating them like her puppies. It was very sweet. She turned out to be the most loyal, loving, and sweet dog ever. She passed away about 4 years ago from natural causes. I miss her every single day. I have her ashes and the first toy I ever gave her next to my bed. When I pass away, her ashes will be mixed with mine so we can be together forever. Love my Tallulah.

Thanks! For Sweet Katie 🥰

Crying!!!!!! Thank you SOOOOOOOO much for respecting,caring,loving these precious souls!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Adopting this wonderful one-year-old dog means welcoming a bundle of joy and love into your home. Her playful spirit and gentle nature will fill your days with laughter and companionship. She'll be your loyal friend, always ready to offer unconditional love and protection. Imagine the gratitude in her eyes as you give her a new start, and a new life, and the happiness she'll bring into yours. Don't miss the chance to add this incredible soul to your family-take the first step today and experience the joy of adoption. And if you're not local, flying her to your nearest airport isn't very expensive. You should look into it! JC -|-

What a sweet baby! Here's to help her get well.

Katie is a Good Girl. I wish I could tell her that.

I'm not sure that she's never been shown kindness, but if not, she still believes in it. She recognizes that it is finally right: the way it should be! Maybe she belonged to an older or sick person, who died, or was taken to a nursing home, or maybe a hospital. And the owner of the house came to empty it out, and just threw her in the street. That's when her hardest times started. I wish she was mine. She's so sweet.

The power of Love right there...what a sweet, sweet girl!

She doesn't want the treat, as much as she wants human touch ❤❤❤❤

A little $ for more treats for Katy! So precious!❤

Dogs like children are born with trust and unconditional love-until their environment teaches them otherwise. You awaken that❤

I watch so many rescue videos, but I can't stop crying over this sweet, sweet girl. I hope she gets healthy and a wonderful home SOON. 😭 Still crying! Something about this girl touches my heart profoundly. TY so much for giving her love and affection. Her expression is one of pure joy. ❤

For this sweet angel😢🙏

That poor baby, she’s gotta be so uncomfortable. She is going to be the loviest girl once she gets her new family.

On the behalf of humans, thank you for being amazing!

My Cold Heart melted within 15 seconds of this video....all i had to see was that little tale wag..❤

I would love to see her progress. I hope she gets to a rescue and a foster home. Her color is so beautiful. Katy is the perfect name.

If I didn't live in Sweden I would def adopt her. People don't deserve dogs (period). To be so young and never had the bare necessities and still be friendly and loving and just wanting to be pet and loved 😢

How come she be so beautiful???!!! Its like a yellow flower with a golden heart.

You are a beautiful human being and I believe the best person that this incredible dog could have met. This dog will be the perfect companion to the lucky person that adopts her..What an angel she is..Thank you for what you do 💓

Rocky, thanks to you and the staff who love and care for these precious ones! ❤🐕🐶❤

Thank you for all the love for this beautiful dog! I wish all the best!❤

I really wish I could adopt her. I really do, but my dog doesn't like other dogs. And I don't think I live anywhere near your shelter. She is a sweetheart, and needs a good home ❤

THE TAIL WAG AS SOON AS YOU SIT NEXT TO HER OMG SWEET BABY

I loved how her little tail wagged the second you sat down by her. She wants pets. She's so sweet. Poor baby.

Towards Katie's ongoing care. She's such a lovely girl! Sadly, I'm in the UK so can't give her a home.

I have 3 rescue dogs, and they were all like her 😭 I just loved on them so much that they follow me everywhere now. I know a lot of people have said they wanted her, but if any of that falls through, I would love to add her to our family. 🐾❤

Please apply to whatever she needs to get well and find the right home. She's such a special girl and she's going to be somebody's best friend.

Omg. She just needs someone to love her. I feel so bad for her. I just wanna love her! From the second you tried to give her that treat, I'm like "oh! She wants some love! She just wants to be loved!"

If i wasnt so late to this party, I'd drive all the way from Michigan just to adopt her. We already have a Dutch Shepherd mix rescue with skin problems so we're experienced in handling it. And he's a sweetie, i bet they'd get along great. That's okay, i can see she will have no shortage of people who want her. As long as she gets a good home!

One of my dogs was named Katie and she was a treasure.I was so blessed having her for 14 years.

Thank you for showing this sweet girl some love!

I love her helicopter tail wag! What a sweetheart 🐶❤️

Lady Katie is going to be a blessing for any family. Lady Katie will bring joy, love, fun, energy and joke di vie to her new home. Thank you Mel , for washing Lady Katie and making sure that she felt safe and like a princess. She was a new woman when she left your salon and what a beauty she was. She had a right giggle with you in the washing basin. Rocky, you always give lovely affirmations and affection to the pups. It is a gift 💝 to the pups and to those of us watching so we can give affirmations to dogs we meet, our own dogs and shelter dogs too. Would you ever consider letting your audience bid on the opportunity to name the shelter dogs? For those of us who aren’t able to have a dog would get to name them and raise money for these precious lovelies who deserve a name that is given with love. If you hate the name then the person submits another name for the pup. Holy fluff balls Rocky, good money can be raised for an amazing cause. “ What the fluff, name that pup.” Cheers!!

Shes just precious. I heeded your advise and went to my local shelter and started sitting with the urgent dogs on their list and put it on my social media and since then, more dogs have been adopted and taken off the eu list than ever. Thank you for giving me the courge to do this and to make a difference in the lives of animals. I never know my next step i just know to go where God leads me and to rescue the hurt. 🐾❤️

What a little love bug, I loved her instantly. This why dogs are better than people. She's been through so much and still wants to give and receive love. I would take her in a minute if she were in Massachusetts.

she's SO calm for a 1-year-old

"She's even got a little pep in her step!" she certainly does, beautful little thing. So lovely to see her taken care of now.

I love Katie and I can tell she haven't experienced the love you gave her Rocky. But now I know she's in good hands. I bought your Hoodie and now the T-shirt!! God bless you and your Family and staff.

My daughter and I were driving looking for a bakery when a little white dog crossed the road in front of us. I pulled over to the side of the road and when the dog approached the back door I gave him a gentle shove and pushed him into the car. We took the dog to a vet - we discovered he was covered with mats and fleas. After a bath and hair cut the dog came home with us. We named him Muffin Amis. He had found his forever home. Later we purchased a female dog we named Missy Amis. Best dogs we have ever had in our home.

Omg EVERYTIME you talk to these dogs & tell them how so sorry you are they are hurting just broke me. You're an angel 😇 for helping these dogs find forever homes. God bless

I'm praying that this girl gets the life and people that she deserves. I want them all to be cared for and loved. They are innocent in the whole deal. They have done nothing in the world to justify being neglected or mistreated. They just want to feel loved and to love in return.

This one was really heartbreaking. She didn't want treats. She didn't even know what toys are. Her genetics just have so much love to give and she just wants love. Heartbreaking, and I'm glad you are there to help her reach the life she deserves.

Thanks for all you do. God bless you and everyone that works so hard to help and protect all those precious babies that need our love and kindness.

Rocky, you are an awesome human being! Because of you, these dogs are going to live a decent life. Continue the amazing work that you do! Love, from Canada.

What a sweet girl.

So sweet how she didn't even care about the treats. The reason she was wagging her tail and getting happy was cause of you dude! So wholesome!

I adopted a broken dog. Mabel isn't broken anymore. She was also young, and s stray found dumpster diving. She doesn't need to get into garbage anymore, and she doesn't try. It's been 4 months and Mabel is still adjusting, but the biggest hurdles are over. Mabel trusts her Mommy and Daddy, and she LOVES her yard. Loves toys. She's the queen of her castle now. I'd love to have Katie too. She's beautiful.

I'm praying that this girl gets the life and people that she deserves. I want them all to be cared for and loved.

she’s such a sweet & pretty girl 🥹 may she find a loving home & family 🐶💛

Thanks!

Rocky Kanaka and the Asher House are the best channels on RU-vid. Both are blessed dog whisperers.

I couldn't help but tear up throughout the duration of this video. She is such a BEAUTIFUL GORGEOUS baby, I cannot EVER imagine leaving a poor innocent sweet life abandoned or alone, STRANDED, without proper care, food, water, toys, LOVE. ATTENTION. Poor baby, she will definitely be rescued quickly. I had to keep telling myself she's in better caring loving hands now. I hope she has a marvelous and wonderful rest of her life on earth. Her teeth are in such great condition too! None broken or cracked, white, hardly see any tartar or build up.

Every girl loves spaw day!😹

I don't think I've ever seen a dog want you to pet/scratch her more than this one. I've never wanted a dog to get washed as bad as this dog. Hope she has continued healing.

I think she was too focused on your presence to take an interest in the treat. She lifted her little paw like she wanted more attention from you. Your back was to her so maybe you couldn't see that every time you moved she looked hopeful. And she bypassed the treat to sniff you. So sweet.

She wants the connection with you more than the treat... I am crying right now.... Oh My Goodness

Wagging the tail - I'm crying like an imbecile. Dogs want to give love even when they have been through hell. These dogs can out us humans to shame. Wishing this dog all the best and hope she finds a great forever home.

She's so gentle and pretty, she wanted to be cuddled right from the start

Katie in puppy mode melts my heart! Thank you ♥️
