Watch this shelter dog take his first treat 🥹 

Albert's PUPDATE: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Swf2GV12WkY.html Please share this let's get lil Albert adopted! 💪❤

As soon as you put Albert on your lap, he started yawning. As a trauma therapist, I know that’s a sign of him releasing some of the trauma that kept him in that frozen state. Very heart warming to see him settle into your love and stop shaking. Albert is a sweetie. Thanks Rocky for everything you do for dogs.

Real heroes don't wear capes. They wear t-shirts with “Do The Scoop“! ❤

There is no feeling quite like watching an animal open up and find peace.

I had pebbles for 11 years. She was born on Valentine's Day February 14th 2000. We were together for 11 years and she crossed over February 26 2011. I'm still convinced to this day that I was so broken hearted even the sky started to cry and it started to rain. She was 4 inches tall and 4 inches long with a heart the size of a song and I put a bell on her collar so when I couldn't see her I could always hear her. even though she's been gone for 13 years I can still hear her little bell ring and I know she is right by my side. I still love my dog with all my heart and I will for the rest of my Life!!❤️💕❤️

So! How many other viewers "teared up" several times during Albert's video?!? Woof! 🥰🐶💓

Why do people have to be so cruel to animals 😢 we need them and they need us!

I adopted a 7 month old puppy back in November he was found on the street. He was microchipped shelter contact the person they said he was given away and that they did not want him back. So now he is in his forever home.

I got a shelter puppy a couple of years ago. I hadn't had a dog since I was a child and really wasn't interested in getting one. Then, one day, I just felt an urge to go get a little puppy and give him a good life. It changed my life. I live alone and my little buddy Tiger is a good friend to me. If you want to see him I uploaded a couple of shorts of him. I'm speaking now to anyone out there who's like I was. I really, really encourage you to do the same. If you do, though, you need to tell your puppy what I told mine...we're family now and I'll never, ever abandon you and I'll do my best to give you a happy life. Thanks for reading.

Just brought $245. of things our animal shelter needed. They where very happy and it made me feel good to help. 👍

I almost can’t watch your videos cause I’m a grown ass man and I cry. I want a dog so much but I travel so much it would be cruel. You’re the best.

His little worried face is heartbreaking 🥲

Did Albert get adopted? We would love Albert...forever!!! ❤

Abandonment can create such awful trauma. He deserves better than the heartless monsters that abandoned him.

I don’t know how to get a message to you. So, I will just post this and cross my fingers that you read it. I want to thank you for teaching me how to get a very timid rescue to warm up to me, by offering treats. She would not take them from my hand, so I left some in front of her, then from my hand. Then I brushed up against her paw and eventually got her to trust my touch. I took her home and she is the most beautiful, gentle, girl. Her name is Rose, and she is very sociable with humans. Amazing transformation that could have gone the wrong way had she been pushed or forced. Thank you so much for all that you share.

Albert is a really cute dog. I really hope he finds a deserving home.

This little dog seems very afraid of the camera/cameraman. His little face and eyes just make me want to cry!

Hi Rocky, I'm a 90 Year old Australian woman . I was, earlier in life, a dog behaviourist so I have nothing but admiration for you and how you treat those poor abandoned puppies. My life has been my dogs and I cannot imagine myself ever giving up any of my 26 dogs. I want to adopt all the puppies you have worked with. My heart went out to the little terrier you coaxed to stop trembling so I hope he goes to a good home soon. Great work.

I get so emotional when Rocky apologizes and tells the dog its not your fault....Breaks my heart.

He is just gorgeous. Why are people so cruel to little defenceless animals. I wish I could adopt him and love him forever.

Has Albert been adopted? I just had my sweet pup pass away 2 days ago, his shaking is making me cry, thinking of him being so scared hurts my heart.

My last dog, Jessica came from the RSPCA. I saw her from across a yard from the kennel she was in about 20 yards away.... she was haunched and rooted to the spot and literally vibrating with fear. In that nano second I first saw her.... she had a home for life. I had no idea if she was in fact a boy or a girl or what age she was. I went straight to the reception and said I WANT THAT DOG. One week later she came home with me and spent the rest of her life doing what she wanted to do when she wanted to do it.... she wanted a lot of walks.... and lots of steak bless her. I could never repay the love she gave me.... never.

Seeing a dog that afraid just hurts my heart. So innocent! The trembling made me cry. How anyone can neglect or mistreat an animal is beyond my comprehension!

I noticed the shaking had stopped when you were reading and it literally seemed like he relaxed when you started reading the poem! I wish he was near me. I would love to have him as my new best friend! ❤

You, kind sir, are a very decent human being. Thank you! Dogs love people. And proper people love dogs. You made me cry. Quite a lot.

Oh, Albert! This one is so special! To go from shaking and terrified, to sitting calmly in Rocky's lap taking treats... that's beyond AMAZING! I feel like it was a combination of Rocky's patience, calm voice, and reading of the viewer mail / t-shirt... it all played a part! Now let's find him an incredible home of his own!

OMG!! The tears started flowing when he started taking the treats!! He’s so much better than when you first walked in. I feel better too. Thank you, Rocky, for all you do for these scared animals…❤️🐶❤️

Currently sitting here with my 17 year old senior knocked out with his tongue out snoring on my lap and it just breaks my heart seeing that poor little baby absolutely terrified when you first walked in. Humans can be so cruel. Keep up the good work showing these sweet pups that they can and deserve to be loved.

That moment when Albert took the treat just made my heart smile! Such a beautiful little angel! Give him a sweet snuggle for me.

My son found a small dog in the parking lot of dollar general. He said the clerks said she had been there for weeks they had been feeding her. So he left his name and phone number if someone was looking for her. He brought her home and he showed her to us. She looked like a small Beagle mixed with another small breed. We walked into his house my son told us she had not barked or whined. When I walked in she started crying I felt so sorry for it was like she was crying & trying to tell me what had happened. We all fell in love with this little girl she had a permanent home. We took her our Vet and he estimated she was about 8 years old. We gave her the shots. About 6 years later she had Cancer in her mouth and it was fast growing. Within 2 months the pain seemed unbearable we had to put her to sleep. I grieved a long time about my sweet Katie. She was the sweetest little angel I had ever had. Still missing her.

Albert transformed from a scared pup to a beautiful boy. WHAT A CHANGE...I LOVE YOU ALREADY!

I would imagine Albert was not just scared, but suffering from depression as well. Some TLC is exactly what he needs!

Oh my goodness, when he gave kisses, that just melted my heart ❤️

Poor puppy. The terror in his eyes is heartbreaking. Hope he finds a gentle loving home.

Thank you so much for sitting with Albert. He's a very Handsome, Strong Boy.❤

I love Albert. Oh man. When he took the treat and then when he gave you some kisses...melted my heart. He's going to have a great life :)

When my dog went missing for 15 minutes, I had called every shelter within 50 miles in hysterics. His family isn't coming to find him. But that's OK because they don't deserve him.

Li'l Albert reminds me of Romeo. Almost fifty years ago, my grandmother took in a stray dog named Romeo. He looked a lot like little Albert, only much older: few teeth left, each sticking out in a different crazy direction. Romeo had many patches of hair missing, and his eyes seemed to be looking different directions. Grandma liked to hum and sing to herself, and Romeo always joined in the chorus: howling. Grandma was getting on in years too, and they made a colorful couple! Thanks Li'l Albert, for bringing me a pleasant memory!

About 25 years ago. god sent me a dog exactly like Albert. He was sitting on my driveway. He ate 3 cans of food. We called him scruffy boy. I bathed him and took him to the vet. 18 mos. He lived to be 18 years old and was my best friend and I still feel he was an angel. I would give my eye teeth for this little dog. I’m in West Virginia. A long way away. I hope he gets a really good family. He loved baths and brushing. His hair would split in the middle of his back and drop to the floor. He understood and protected far more than dogs should.

OMG what a marshmallow .. good luck Albert, you deserve all the best and Pappys pullin for ya!

I agree. Albert is a perfect name. He seems to be a little more relaxed than earlier.

All my aninals are spayed or neutered as soon as they are old enough. My husband and I found and re-homed 15 dogs over a five year period. We kept one that no one wanted due to his size. We also found our cat in the dumpster. Thank you for sharing these stories and helping these little one.

Rocky-your constant chatter in a deep voice while working with these little ones is a great source of comfort to them. It gives a quiet reassuring surrounding in another loud/empty cage. Thanks for your patience and acceptance is so loving for them.

It breaks my heart to see fur babies like this. And as we all can see, it just takes a little bit of Love and Attention ♥️🐾♥️🐾♥️

Hoping precious Albert was adopted and is in a loving home❤

I think pulling Albert up against your heart was a game changer. Your lap was definitely his safe space! ❤️

I can’t believe anyone would abandon this beautiful dog ❤

Praying for a perfect forever home for this perfect cutie. Thank you so much for being so kind!

Poor guy, shaking so uncontrollably.... He will soon recognize that having you in his corner is truly a blessing !

Oh his eyes...my heart breaks for him. He is adorable

You must be a very good person for those traumatised dogs to accept you like that. I am mesmerized.

Wow! I am thrilled to have found this channel. I have rescued dogs running in the middle of highways and rainstorms. I will take them to our blessed humane society in the Twin Cities. If I see a lost pet notice I will call the number and try to get more information to see if I can help. I am involved in protests for the protection of any animal. Thank you so much. I hope Albert found a loving home. We would have a dog but due to our age, health and no yard, It would not be fair to them.

I hope and pray that Albert gets adopted and finds a good loving forever home very soon indeed!

Oh my gosh that poor little one so frightened. What a cutie, those eyes are breaking my heart...I would definitely have picked him up in the parking lot and taken him home.

His eyes are so soulful but hes also sad/terrified that is really heartbreaking. Albert is gorgeous and is a good boy.

Your calming and continuous talking really works on these dogs

Im wife ... I find you thoughtful and caring ....truly the sweetest human ive 💗 seen lately. YOUR TRULY KIND BLESS YOU SIR 🙏

We live in a upscale neighborhood. We only have 15 houses and you don't know it's a subdivision until you get in it. That leads up to a little black cat that was dropped in our neighborhood. I think whoever dropped him was thinking he would get taken care of. Which, of course, he was. Once he was in the house he immediately went upstairs and climbed onto my husband's chair and sat down beside him. What ever happened that led to Shadow coming into our life we are grateful.

Looks terrified .

25:50 HE YAWNED !! AWESOME !!! The stress is coming off. For the past five minutes, his countenance has been much more relaxed. Aarre Peltomaa

Your patience and gentle caring manner has won this terrified little dog’s trust. The moment he totally accepted you and took a treat made me cry. Thank you for sitting with these wonderful dogs, they feel so lost what ever their stories. They need to be shown that all humans are not callous and there is a lot of love out there. Please God they find the home they deserve.

Breaks my heart to see these little dogs so terrified.

He looks so scared! Poor little baby

Suflete, cățelușii aduși pe lume ptr a face omul să fie mai bun. Au un scop ptr care sunt lăsați printre oameni.

I swear to God my eyes just rain out when he starts saying these sweet things to this poor little creature. So fragile and beautiful.

The name Albert means "noble; bright; famous" according to Google. He's famous right now because of this video, and he is going to make someone a fantastic buddy!

Rocky , vous êtes une personne admirable, j ' ai vu votre émotion quand cet adorable Albert a accepté pour la première fois une friandise, Merci ' very beaucoup ' pour cette vidéo qui m' a remplie de JOIE

We love Albert & your unparalleled kind spirit🐾♥️

He’s abandoned otherwise he wouldn’t be there now, and he definitely would have a chip and a collar! Let’s love Albert into a new happy home ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Whoever adopts this little guy is going to be insanely lucky! He’s a winner, just needs lotsa lovin’

Rocky, you are amazing. This doggo is loving "attention" from you. He is beautiful.

I more than teared up, please take him home. Thank you for what you do!

Oh, my God, I am in tears. The moment he took the first bite from you, and then was willing to start eating from your hand. I am praying for Albert. Thank you for all that you do.

He is shaking so hard. Makes me cry.

Thank you for all the love and care you give to animals. Bless you♥️🙏

I like that you get it (you get what you give) time is your friend sometimes you can't help That the tears just fall and your heart just won't to explode THANK for caring

Even though these videos are disturbing sometimes, I can’t stop watching them. Thanks for all you do, Rocky.🐾❤️

I lost my big boy greyhound a few weeks ago and it broke my heart. I’d do ANYTHING to get him back so it really upsets me when I see these stories of beautiful dogs being abandoned. We don’t deserve dogs. They are so much better than us. Dogs never mistreat us, dogs never abandon us, dogs never abuse us. I love seeing the results of the hard work you put into showing these dogs that most people do care. When Rocky tells the dogs that he’s “sorry and you don’t deserve this” and “ you’re a good boy/girl” it gets me every time. 😢😢😢

Bless you Rocky for what you do for those dogs.♥

What a sweetheart!

Just imagine how scared you would would feel in a dog pound. That makes it easier to understand thar scared dogs are probably just afraid, but really want love instead of fear.

He stopped shaking because he can feel the good and the love from you. X

You did it again!! 🤩 Its so great to watch you work your puppy whisperer magic! I sometimes wonder if they won't come around, but I don't think I've seen one that hasn't been able to meet with you. To see the tension relax from his baby-face, makes me tear up! He looked like he was probably feeling safe for the first time since he ended up on his own under one year of age... poor little guy. I wish you could take them all home so they would for sure always know kindness. Keep up the good work, please! I think what yall are doing is just awesome!

Its so heartbreaking to see any creature so ruined by life. The people who save them are the real heroes. That broken soul . Be that humans or animals. Lets all have compassion for eachother. Please? Or the evil win

This dog is so traumatized. He is shaking. What could make people do that do a animal. Omg he is so precious. You did good great job. I dont know how you can leave him😢. I want him so bad.

Oh, Rocky….my heart is breaking (again)….I hope he accepts your love. He has mine.

I love this little guy. Im praying & praising God for him. To find the best home ever❤ Thank you

Poor little guy he’s just shaking. Sweet

Poor baby! I hope your life will be filled with cuddles and treats and toys and sweet positive words from now on. You deserve it little one.

wow - can't stop the tears....he is a lovely boy...wish he were mine. I hope he gets his family soon. He is sooo brave, precious precious....

All of my pets have been rescues. I volunteered for the humane society all through highschool and my aunt Peggy was the vice president. What you are doing makes me believe in humanity again. This is the first video I have seen and it just popped up today. God Bless You and your wife for all your acts of kindness. Makes me want to go volunteer again. Lots of love and prayers from Texas ❤

Patience, that's all it takes. Thank you for showing so much patience with this beautiful little doggy 🙂

When Albert took the treat, I could literally hear the "Hallelujah Chorus" going through your head.

That "random dude" is the giant here. 45 minutes? Only a giant with a giant heart would do that? Bravo!

He’s a good boy thanks for being good to him ! He calmed when you said good boy, he’s heard it before I think?

Life, no matter what or whomever, is totally a leap of faith.... Thanks, Rocky, for all that you do!

Rocky I do not know how you can separate from the dogs you sit with. I would scoop that little black and white dog up in a heartbeat and take him home and love him. I just cry when I see those dogs abandoned and not shown love in their lives up to now. Please someone give this little dog a forever home, I can tell that he is going to be the most faithful, loyal, loving dog ever. I wish I could have him but I am in England!!

That sweet, beautiful face … he needs a family desperately. My min pin was left taped up in a box with her puppy. She only weighed 4 pounds, absolute skin and bones, and covered with sores. She is the most loving dog I’ve ever had. How she can trust humans after being starved and abused is just miraculous to me.

Breaks my heart seeing these beautiful dogs so scared 😔 I lost my rescue fur baby 5 weeks ago he was a russell terrier like Albert miss him so much 🥺💔

THAT WAS A WONDERFUL POEM,HOPPING THAT ALBERT,GET A FOREVER HOME SOON!, THEM EYES LOOK SO SADBUT HOPEFUL. I lose my little pup bout3years now. I have him in a box in my room,I will hold it sometimes, put his in front of the T.V,WHEN HIS SHOWS ARE ON.TELL HIM I MISS HIM AND LOVE HIM ALWAYS!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😭😭😭😭😭😭💙💙😍😍😍
