00:44

00:49

really small but I'm he's a big German

00:52

Shepherd I haven't looked at him

00:54

directly but I'm guessing he's 80 lb

00:59

he's a big guy

01:00

I'm closer to the camera and I'm B so it

01:04

also makes him look small I think you

01:06

could see on the in this angle and look

01:09

at his paws look how big his paws

01:12

are he's got those very alert German

01:15

Shepherd

01:17

eyes sometimes when I'm in a kennel like

01:19

the smaller the kennel is it's better

01:21

because it just to some extent forces

01:23

the dog to put up with me in a bigger

01:26

kenel like this you don't always see the

01:28

dog come to me and I am a little

01:31

worried about this guy cuz there is one

01:33

thing that I know about him and uh

01:36

Alexis is actually here at this shelter

01:38

with me it's a shelter we haven't we

01:40

haven't done a video at for a long time

01:43

sanro Valley Humane Society in Los

01:46

Angeles County in St Gabriel Valley but

01:49

I do know that he has been here for a

01:53

year I think I'm going to we're going I

01:55

find out his full story here in a minute

01:57

and for a dog to be in this state after

02:00

being in a shelter for a year is so

02:03

heartbreaking surprisingly though not

02:05

uncommon dogs can kind of spiral down in

02:08

the situation even if they came in

02:10

Friendly just because of the pressure

02:12

and the noise of a shelter earlier when

02:15

I first met him he was in the yard in

02:18

one of the outside kennels for cleaning

02:20

and for feeding and it was it's

02:23

interesting because when I approach the

02:25

kennel you can see he just immediately

02:28

goes to the back he's in this state I

02:32

saw one of the team members Valerie go

02:35

up to him and he came right up to her

02:37

which is great he's a good you can tell

02:39

but he's he's good dog but the problem

02:43

is when potential adopters come to the

02:45

shelter they see him in he cowers in the

02:46

back of the kennel that big guy be scary

02:49

concerning so just nobody doubts

02:53

him the days turn into weeks and the

02:55

weeks months

02:57

years this is no lik is this is a

03:00

shelter like no life for a living being

03:04

I think the thing that if you look

03:06

closely at him that's striking is not

03:09

only just his eyes and his eyebrows and

03:12

how concerned he is but his stance where

03:14

he's

03:16

just like his poor little paws at chest

03:19

he doesn't rest I'm going to try a

03:24

tree boy

03:32

but that's good I'm going go and sit

03:33

down with

03:39

that big dogs like him I really care for

03:43

when I'm in a kennel because I don't

03:46

want to ever put too much stress or

03:47

pressure on him where he feels like he

03:49

has to react in a negative way and I

03:52

don't see any signs of

03:54

that oh that's good that's really good

03:57

say hey he took a treat there was a

03:59

gesture friendship it's okay maybe this

04:03

guy isn't as bad as I

04:04

thought or or more so there's no alarm

04:07

here I go ahead and sit down and relax

04:09

and that's really good that's really

04:11

good I don't think he's interested in

04:13

his bed I think it's a new bed and I

04:15

think where I thought it would actually

04:16

be inviting for him I think it's

04:17

actually putting a divide between so I'm

04:19

going to I'm going to move this over in

04:21

the corner over here it's like it's C

04:23

all closer to him I'm going just close

04:26

the gap a little bit here he's so pretty

04:29

though right right he's

04:31

like there's something about big German

04:34

Shepherds that just they're so beautiful

04:38

German Shepherds are one of the more

04:40

pretty dogs right like it's hard to not

04:42

look at a German shepherd and go wow

04:44

that is a beautiful creature and he is

04:47

one of those and it is interesting

04:49

because with confidence you start to see

04:52

that beauty it sometimes it's harder to

04:54

see when when they're cowering and

04:56

they're scared and up bit when he has a

04:58

confidence and he stands up straight and

05:01

mighty like a German Shepherd oh he is

05:03

so

05:08

beautiful that's good that's really good

05:12

okay I didn't know if we were going to

05:13

be able to get anywhere because he's

05:15

been here for a year but I'll tell you

05:17

what with that one treat right there the

05:19

second treat he's taken now I am Hur

05:23

I'll bet in the time that we sit here

05:26

together we could have a friendship

05:28

before I leave and I always say like

05:30

there are no goals in these interactions

05:34

with the dogs like I don't have an

05:37

agenda or a

05:39

goal most of the time in this situation

05:42

what I'm trying to achieve is if we can

05:44

get him out of his shell and we can

05:46

show his little personality and you see

05:49

this and someone sees this and says I

05:52

can give this guy a chance he's okay and

05:54

we show him in a different light than

05:55

how everyone sees him when they come to

05:57

the shelter and the back of the kennel

05:59

scare sced and that helps weak to him

06:01

getting a

06:03

home

06:05

success let's see if he'll take one out

06:07

of by hand and and here in a minute then

06:08

we're going to get his story cuz I feel

06:11

like there's a story here especially if

06:13

he's been at the shelter for a

06:20

year he did the German Shepherd thing

06:23

too if you have a German Shepherd you

06:25

ever work with German Shepherds maybe

06:27

they're the worst tree takers Maybe

06:29

there's another fre you know I'm

06:31

generalizing for sure but German

06:33

Shepherds are

06:35

just what they take treats they just

06:37

take your knuckles off but that's really

06:40

good I want to go straight to an open

06:42

hand treat but I'm Let's do let's do one

06:43

more

06:45

hand look let's go let's go to an open

06:48

hand we're making such good progress the

06:50

open hand and by experience when you're

06:52

dealing with shut down dogs is a much

06:54

bigger uh ask because of look what's

06:58

coming at you here right

07:00

and the big old hand versus this is a

07:02

little less intimidating so I'm asking a

07:04

little bit more getting a little

07:09

closer that's really

07:11

good I'm very happy about this I think

07:14

it's I took video of it I think it's

07:17

just that initial approach where he's so

07:19

scared he just hasn't been reassured

07:22

that it's okay if someone approaches him

07:24

it's that initial approach when someone

07:26

is coming right up to him they call

07:29

causes him to cower and again this this

07:31

is likely kennel you know it's not

07:34

kennel reactivity I mean it is he's not

07:36

reacting towards the kennel he's

07:37

reacting away from it and it's likely

07:39

something he developed at the shelter

07:41

and that probably not something he came

07:43

in with that's why I try to highlight

07:44

dogs when they first come into the

07:46

shelter and try to get them out of his

07:47

State because the longer they're here

07:49

typically the longer they're here a lot

07:52

of shelters Across the Nation they can't

07:54

keep dogs around and when they're out of

07:56

space it's the end a dog and so

08:00

I try to catch him right when they come

08:02

in thank goodness Sayang Val Humane

08:05

Society has been able to care for him

08:08

this long which is expensive but they

08:11

believe in him the staff believes in him

08:13

08:15

09:44

is to associate touch with uh

09:49

09:53

little bit more about his story to just

09:55

know where he's coming from Alexis were

09:57

you able to talk to the team to get his

09:59

10:02

into the shelter how old is he Wang is

10:05

just a little over four years old four

10:07

you that's like by the way Wayne

10:10

everybody four is the ideal age to adopt

10:15

a dog Ione says I want a puppy I want a

10:18

puppy you don't want a puppy there's so

10:21

much work four is great because like

they're still young agile they can go to

10:26

the park they can go on runs if you

10:28

exercise that their all of their

10:30

personality character is there but

10:34

Bounce off-the-wall

10:43

Rand right now at sang Val main society

10:46

there are birds hanging out here it's

10:48

kind of indoor outdoor to some extent

10:50

and uh and he's fine with that and the

10:52

reason I mentioned that is like a lot of

10:54

dogs would be so fixated all that

10:56

especially prey driven German Shepherds

10:59

so I only pointed out he's just a

11:01

testament to his personality well he's

11:04

fing up a little bit now with that

11:07

bird in all fairness the bird's like

11:09

right in front of him taunting and he's

11:10

still

11:12

okay it kind of sounds like a squeaky

11:14

toy doesn't it buddy here let's let's

11:16

take your mind off that okay okay I'm

11:18

sorry Alex I got distracted with the

11:20

birds okay all right so four years old

11:23

um uh came in with a microchip or no yes

11:26

I believe so okay all right what's

11:28

what's his story team told me that Wang

11:31

was an owner Turnin okay and he was

11:35

separated from his sibling or his you

11:39

know his partner in crime okay um and

11:43

they are guessing that he was likely

11:46

like the less dominant one of the pair

11:48

because of how he acts I could see that

11:52

um that he's directionless now all right

11:55

12:01

backyard dog his whole life until

12:07

notes from the team uh they write a

12:09

little bio on the dogs here oh okay so

12:13

uh his bio says I'm still a very shy boy

12:17

so it will take some time for me to get

12:19

comfortable with you but once I get past

12:21

my nerves I'm a big cuddle bug overall

12:24

I'm just a very sweet and lovable boy I

13:52

this point this is what life is what

13:54

you'll find out is a dog like this will

13:57

give you their all I mean dogs are great

13:59

and they're loyal and they're kind and

14:01

they're loving but a dog that comes from

14:03

this state when they're treated to a

14:06

home to just the simple luxuries of

14:09

getting to be a dog be on the couch play

14:12

fetch go on

14:14

walks a burger at the drive-thru when

14:18

they get those things they're so

14:20

14:26

they're at now and I got to tell you if

14:28

14:31

everyone wants a good dog and a lot of

14:34

times people think they want the dog

that is front of the pth a dog like Wang

14:37

that will listen to commands that will

14:39

follow your lead if if you show him a

14:41

little bit of confidence but he's not an

14:43

aggressor or

14:45

hyperactive I mean you just couldn't ask

14:48

always tough when you're at the shelter

15:54

15:56

everything's calm and the BS right and

15:58

the stress kicks back up and you s

16:01

16:06

that's just that just somebody else

16:07

16:14

like this is like we can give him plenty

16:16

of treats it's going to be he can handle

16:19

it so I'll just keep keep me in the

16:21

treat machine and I'll keep B his love

16:24

with

16:25

treats look at these

16:27

buddy look look wa Wing don't go back

16:31

there

16:35

bud that's the heartbreaking part right

16:38

you made a little bit of that progress

16:40

and then you see that fear set back in

16:42

and the thing is is he just needs a home

16:45

but the great thing is if you're

16:47

watching this video we as a community

16:50

can his voice and can help him fire that

16:52

helmet and that's what's really awesome

16:53

it's like sometimes you see this and you

16:55

go oh that's so sad I don't know if I'm

16:57

that doesn't feel good good what I do in

17:00

these situations is I don't think about

17:03

him in this moment in this state this

17:06

beautiful courageous German Shepherd

17:08

that is is currently shut down what I do

17:11

think about is what he's going to look

17:13

like months from now with his new family

17:16

and his new F you know and whether it be

17:20

other dogs in his path or kids or his

17:24

best friend that takes him running all

17:25

the time you can just see him happy and

17:28

relaxed ing laying down and watching TV

17:30

after a fun day at the park that's the

17:33

way the Canaan that we want to Envision

17:37

because when you do that too when you're

17:38

around these dogs and and you envision

17:41

where they will be not in their

17:42

situation that they're in currently that

17:44

confidence and that Spirit definitely

17:48

translate to them right it it helps them

17:51

feel that like they know they feel right

17:53

dogs are so much more conscious of your

17:56

body movements and your emotions and

17:57

your feelings because they don't

17:59

understand the words that you

18:01

say I guess I talk to Kobe by dog like

18:04

he does understand oh but but like for

18:07

example bear on my chirt here now named

18:10

Shadow Moon adopted living with his dad

18:12

the best life ever he was in this state

18:14

and now he is a confident and happy and

18:17

loved dog we should you know what to uh

18:23

Alexis we should work on turning Wang

18:26

into a t-shirt like wouldn't he be

18:28

pretty as this shirt yeah beautiful you

18:31

know what I will work really hard to put

18:33

the art together and I would I will put

18:36

his shirt on you can get this one of

18:37

bear and the sitting with dog shirts but

18:39

I will also make a special edition in

18:42

honor of him and for every shirt we move

18:45

we'll give a dollar to sangro Valley

18:47

Humane Society because the cost of

18:49

caring for him for so long most shelters

18:51

wouldn't do this guys and so we'll also

18:53

give those funds over the next month to

18:56

St gber Valley main society all right my

18:58

team and I were able to pull it off

18:59

19:02

matter of days we designed it we ordered

19:05

all of the inventory but here's the deal

19:07

when we sell out we sell out and it'll

19:08

probably be pretty quick it has my with

21:41

there I feel so good A lot of times you

21:44

guys see me at animal friends of The

21:46

Valleys in wildemar California I started

21:49

working there more because they've got a

21:50

pretty large intake it's somewhat close

21:53

to my house but I worked with shelters

21:55

Across the Nation and in that time I've

21:58

done a fair amount of work at sang yo

22:00

Valley main society and the team here is

22:03

really awesome and they're often

22:05

overlooked because they're in Los

22:07

Angeles County but they're not Los

22:09

Angeles County and that's that's good

22:11

and bad in some ways Los Angeles county

22:13

is really well ever all show K are

22:17

really Str right now it's the highest

22:19

amount of pets that I've ever seen since

22:21

I've been doing wol and uh there's so

22:24

many factors as to why but when I

22:27

reached out to Cindy their director I

22:30

just said I want to I want to figure out

22:31

how to help more and she said we we have

22:33

a dog bang that we would really love

22:37

help with because everyone loves him

22:38

he's a staff

22:40

favorite I want to try to uh come to

22:43

more shelters and highlight some of the

22:45

amazing things we're they're doing Wayne

22:49

it's going to be okay buddy you may not

22:51

know this but we have a lot of people

22:53

watching and if you if you're thinking

22:55

well I want to help but I can't get a

22:56

shirt you could also become a member and

22:58

it's a small monthly amount you get to

23:00

be the first to know when dogs get

23:02

adopted like when Wayne gets adopted we

23:04

let people know their first because a

23:06

safe space cuz sometimes dogs get a doet

23:08

they get the next day so I

23:10

don't want to go wide with the

23:11

information how sir but we also do pup

23:13

dates so everyone knows another way to

23:15

help it cost nothing is just to share

23:18

because that has been the biggest effect

23:21

of getting dogs adopted is when people

23:24

share a video and someone else sees it

23:25

if you see me out in public and you come

23:27

up to me I thank you I love it because I

23:29

love meeting fellow dog W like we are a

23:31

community but people come to me and go

23:33

I'm sorry I never knew about you and

23:36

then I saw the dog of the video of this

23:37

dog and I adopted that dog and I fine

23:39

you don't need to know about me you need

23:41

to know about Wang if I can disappear

23:43

tomorrow fine as long as the dogs keep

23:46

getting highlighted you know yeah oh

23:48

he's so he's so good he's like he's

23:52

slowly starting to lean into me is there

23:55

anything we should know about him that

23:57

we would that people would know like I

23:59

mean I think he's very loyal loyal yeah

24:03

I feel like if I'm walking him and he

24:05

sees anyone else he like quickly just

24:07

comes to me you know that's good

24:09

reassures me kind of a velcro dog sort

24:11

of thing that's good he's super sweet

24:14

definitely a cutle bug yeah I'm starting

24:16

to see that he's starting to lean into

24:18

me I bet within a day I'd have him in my

24:21

lap yeah look how his face lit up though

24:24

when you came by like what a different

24:26

look at that Paws out happy face oh yeah

24:30

he definitely loves you um he's good

24:33

with grooming yeah yeah he is that's

24:35

good yeah he's already cleared like four

24:38

treat six of me so if he tries to tell

24:40

you later he didn't get any treats in

24:41

here do not listen

24:42

to look at that what will look what a

24:46

different face huh as soon as she comes

24:47

up look at that you're doing a good J

24:50

relaxed oh yeah he's doing great awesome

24:53

he asked everyone on the channel to

24:54

subscribe

24:56

already see what I did there

24:59

okay thank you have a good life yeah he

25:02

he he loves her it's so great because

25:04

you can see he is a great dog he just

25:07

doesn't he just doesn't show well right

25:10

like imagine you're in your house and at

25:12

any given time anybody can just walk by

25:14

the window and look in at you would you

25:15

also not be a little concerned about

25:17

that and be a little off-put by everyone

25:19

coming by hi we get it buddy we get it

25:23

but that doesn't mean that's who he is

25:26

and and that's the whole point of

25:27

watching his video is you know you

25:30

really get to see his true voice like

25:32

what a different dog now just just from

25:34
