I'll take her!!! I'll need help to get her to Pennsylvania, but I'll take her! I've recently lost my husband and I have all the time in the world for her, all the love she deserves and I have had dogs before . I know what it takes to rescue a dog. I am serious. I would LOVE to give her a great, loving home with the security and safety she deserves!!!

I'm a 55 year old construction contractor, I have been thru a lot of VERY difficult situations and consider myself to be a pretty tough and masculine man. I very seldom get emotional or let things get to me
.. But I actually broke down watching what this poor beautiful dog has been through. I pray she has found true love and a human that she can take good care of. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU FOR WHAT YOUR DOING TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE.

I was lucky enough to walk her today. She is such a beautiful soul

I just checked the website and it says UPDATE: Jocka has been ADOPTED!!!! The team is probably working on an update video or they will soon. I really hope that it works out🙏🥹💝. This made me so happy!!!

Our sweet pup was in a shelter for over 2 years. She had no clue what to do with toys, was frozen in one spot the first week. Now she is the sweetest, happiest pup! We are so blessed! She LOVES snuggles!

@Rocky Kanaka, we NEED a Jaca pupdate PLEASE!

My state attorney was the one that pushed for animal cruelty to be a felony. He’s an avid rescue supporter and it came as a result of two horrid situations. One had 3 dogs thrown out of a moving vehicle over the guard rails to the expressway below. I fostered one during the criminal case. He eventually was released to be adopted and I cried when his adopter sent me a picture of their 3 year old leaning on him and reading him a book. They all had injuries which is why I had him. I do medical fostering. He had several beautiful years before he went to heaven.

My rescue spent her whole life in the shelter as well, 4+ years. She was abandoned as a pup her first year of life too. Every moment of frustration has been 100% worth it, and many don't have the time or patience for this kind of work. But the way they can melt our hearts so we become more human is supernatural. Thank you for being a redemptive force in these dogs' lives.

So happy to find out she was adopted! Can’t wait to hear her pupdate ❤

Jocka is amazing and she's sooo pretty! Someone with a big yard should let her run around, forget her old existence and start a new life.

[Snagglemama]

What a beautiful, fluffy, gentle soul. I hope whoever adopts her works really hard to prove that humans are worth trusting

[sophiecross]

How is she not adopted!? She is SO BEAUTIFUL 😍

When my son was 15yo, his 14yo dog crossed the rainbow bridge. A year later, he was ready for another dog. He didn't want a puppy, he wanted an older dog. We visited our shelter where this older fellow immediately took to my son. It was really something to see. They said he was an indoor dog and house trained.
He came home with us that day.
Imagine our surprise when we found he didn't like men. Took my husband months of letting the dog get to know him.
He didn't want to play, was kind of lazy about taking walks (lol), but he was THE BEST DOG EVER. Strictly a companion animal, wanted nothing more than to just hang out with my son.
Seven years later, he had to cross the rainbow bridge due to numerous cancers.
The entire extended family was devastated. He was truly deeply loved, and gave that love in return.
He would even share his large bed with the cats. We will forever miss him. ❤️

You can try to pass all the laws you want, it still won't stop some people from abusing animals, what needs to happen is to teach children to properly take care of animals...
In First grade I had a teacher that started something called "SMORPO" Students for more responsible Pet Ownership" we would raise money for animal shelters, as well as we were taught many things about cats and dogs... I'm 60 now and it had a huge impact on my life... I have been doing animal rescue and fostering most of my life...
SMORPO needs to be a thing in every school....

She's a doll. Her story is heartbreaking.

[ukulele_cheri]

It's a shame she couldn't have stayed in a foster situation rather than the shelter. Poor baby!

[tovahornung]

I will take her but I'm in South Florida! I'm 62 retired live in a big apartment complex with a dog park. I'm a dog whisperer. Was a 4-H winner dog trainer as a kid. Had my Sheepadoodle for 14 1/2 years and sadly had to put her down due to cancer. I'm next to Vero Beach Breeze Airways is 20 minutes from me. She needs grooming. She can sleep on the bed and sofa! ❤

I cried watching this. I had a shut down puppy mill dog that I adopted in 2011 and lost her in 2021. She stayed in a timid state most of her life but had many wonderful years with me and her pack mates and my family. So there is always hope for her. I am so happy that when i looked for Jocka, I see she was adopted. Amen. Thanks to that family. Patience will make life awesome for her and for them. Unconditional love. Thanks for all involved in making Jocka and other animals lives better.

In the middle of my sob, I wondered how fast I could drive out there. It’s two days no matter how you slice it….. Rocky, I need to call my local shelter and see what I can do to be helpful . the right people will come along for that sweet pup !!! ❤
