- Today I'm making one hundred pupsicles for shelter dogs.
Oh my goodness!
(upbeat music)
Oh!
(upbeat music) Now you might have already seen this before,
but I've got a show called "Dog's Day Out"
where I take a dog out on the best day they've ever had.
But this is gonna be the biggest "Dog's Day Out"
I've ever done because we're gonna do this with all
of the dogs that are in this shelter.
As we're filming this video, parks and beaches are closed,
so it's not gonna be an easy task.
But the good news is,
they do have a lot of space here.
So I'm gonna go look around
and we're gonna come up with something
that's gonna be awesome.
We're going to kick this off by touring the facility
and also I want to give a special thanks
to our sponsor SmartyPaws.
I love helping all dogs,
but these dogs right here,
they could really use some extra love and support.
You see, they've actually been in quarantine
just like all of us and a lot of them
actually had to have surgeries.
They've had it pretty rough.
They haven't had any visitors to the shelters,
and in that time they couldn't even be adopted.
That is, until now.
They're actually coming off their hold at the shelter
after weeks of being cooped up.
And finally they're going to be available
for adoption tomorrow.
That means I have 24 hours to get everything ready
so that they can have the best day ever.
The biggest point of all of this
is to really show all of you how awesome these dogs are
so that they have a chance at finding their forever home.
(dogs barking)
I'm hoping that we find an area
that we can build something
or make something that's really awesome.
Just like if it was a park or an area outside
that these dogs could really go have a good time at.
First we checked out the play yards
which could work, but I want to keep looking
in case we can find something even bigger.
(upbeat music)
And while we're looking around,
we got to meet some of the dogs.
So this first dog I want to introduce you to
this husky is named Luna.
Wow, look at those eyes.
Luna! The thing about Luna is she's easy
to fall in love with
real quick, like, wow!
(Luna howling)
I know, I know!
She's loving me, too!
Did you hear her say, you love me, too?
Now, I actually know Luna, I've met her before.
I thought I recognized her at first,
and I think that's why she was so happy
to see me, but, she was actually adopted.
And, unfortunately, she's been returned.
And, it just breaks my heart to think about
what was going through her head when she came back.
She had to be thinking: "Oh, no, here we go again.
I'm being returned again, I'm not good enough.
Loved enough."
And, now she's been here for a month.
I'm in love, guys, already, I mean, hit that
like button if you are in love
with Luna as much as I am.
You wanna play?
The San Gabriel Valley Humane Society works so hard
to show these animals that they are loved.
That's why I think we've got to do everything
we can to help them get adopted!
And, you know what, you can actually help
by hitting that like button and
watching this video again, and again,
because then YouTube will show it to more people,
and we're more likely to get Luna,
and all of her friends adopted.
All right, now let's keep looking for that perfect space!
I mean look at this, look at all this room!
There might be too much space.
Like, I don't know if they could run off, or.
So, I want to show you this little puppy.
That just had surgery.
This is Nugget.
(Nugget barking)
- Oh, hi Nugget!
Oh, good dog!
Look at that little puppy, he's so cute.
I don't know how you would
ever turn in a dog like Nugget.
It just breaks my heart.
- [Man] They found him on the street, right?
- I didn't know that.
God, breaks my heart.
(thumping music)
- Can you see it?
Oh my, oh my good, what is this?
Is this like a secret treasure hideout?
You gotta see this, here, check this out.
(gate unlocking) (whimsical music)
Oh my goodness.
This is perfect!
What is this!
Are you kidding me?
They have their own Pupsicle stand!
I mean, its a little run down,
but we can shine this baby up.
I'm a Pet Champ, I can make Pupsicles!
All right, we're gonna freshen this place up
and we're gonna throw the biggest Dogs Day Out
party we've ever thrown.
This turfs really nice.
So, we can clean it all up.
We can hose it all down, it'll be good as new.
I'm gonna call in a few friends to help me out
so we can get this project done in time.
But, guys I'm telling you, this is gonna be perfect!
Okay, while we're waiting on a couple helping hands,
I wanna tell you about a special dog named Max.
(dog snarling and barking)
- [Matt] Max's story is he was actually
adopted here when he was a puppy.
- [Rocky] Okay.
- [Matt] He was about 6 or 7 months, or so.
He went to a family.
He was doing great with them.
I think they had to move, or something
happened with their living situation.
When they brought him back,
he seemed to have a
little bit of trust issues with strangers.
So, now, we're just trying to introduce him to
new people to where he's going to start trusting them again.
- You see Max and see how he seems
really angry in his cage and aggressive.
That is not necessarily the dog that he is.
When we pull him out, he's actually a great dog.
And, we've had him with other dogs
and he's actually dog-friendly as well.
- [Rocky] When he's ready tomorrow,
would you be able to take him out there and play with him?
- Yes.
- [Rocky] I think we're gonna see
is that Max is attached to Matt, that's a good thing because
then you know you can adopt a dog
like Max if you're willing to put the time into it,
he will love you and then you just gotta spend on
helping him be the dog that he could be.
Hey, you wanna make some pupsicles?
- [Kelly] Do I want to make some?
- Yeah, do you wanna make pupsicles?
- [Kelly] Okay.
(laughs)
- [Rocky] All right so I've got my part.
(Kelly laughs) - Okay.
Does it go red, blue, white?
- [Rocky] Red, white, blue.
[Rocky] Specifically, how are you gonna make red?
- Watermelon.
- [Rocky] Yes, blue?
- Blueberries.
- [Rocky] And then the white will be then,
of course, the yogurt.
What I love about this, too,
is watermelon is so good for dogs and they love it.
Have you ever tried watermelon with your dog
and if you haven't, you should try it.
(blender whirring)
- See what it tastes like here.
That is so good!
So just in case you haven't been following along,
we're fostering Kobe through reverse rescue.
He's blind, he's got heart issues, he's got skin issues.
We're working with him, he will be available for adoption.
But first, he's got to have his heart surgery.
Hi, Flip!
We're making a mess everywhere.
That's gonna be so cool.
- [Kelly] Yeah.
- These giant tennis balls.
- [Man] Oh, my god, your car is full of them.
(Rocky laughs)
- [Blake] All right, okay, so what do you want me on?
- Ah, you're here!
- I'm here, I'm ready to do this.
- Lets get to work, okay I'm gonna make Blake Grigsby
work really hard, but first I have a fun job.
Do you remember the dog Nugget?
Now, Nugget can't actually go
outside of his protected area 'cause
he hasn't had all his shots yet.
But, no problem!
Because I came up with a perfect way
to have some fun with Nugget.
This simple contraption right here is gonna serve
a couple different purposes.
One, it's mental stimulation.
It's really important for puppies to be stimulated.
They have to think like when the hot dogs
popping out of the different holes, they got to
think about it, and also it's also rewarding.
Right, they get to eat a hot dog when they
get the hot dog.
(Blake speaking to Nugget nondistinctive)
- [Blake] Oh, got it!
Games over, nugget won.
So do you wanna fill up, like the pools with water.
- No, no, no, okay, it makes sense if a dog likes water.
But, a lot of dogs don't like water.
So, what I'm thinking is instead of the in the pools
we put giant tennis balls in one.
I ordered ball pit balls,
so we could put that in the other one.
And, then, I got another pool, lets fill it with toys.
- What about your like puppachino.
- The puppachinos, we did the original
puppachino video here!
- Oh wow, right!
- Yeah, so, you know what time it is?
♪ Puppachino time, puppa-puppachino time ♪
♪ Puppachino time ♪
- I got some decorations.
Let's decorate it so it looks nice.
Lets hose it down so its all clean.
We're gonna rake this stuff up.
I'll hand the rake over to you
so you can start working on that.
I'm gonna start working on the really important parts.
The most important part of this whole place.
- What is that?
- The pupsicle stand!
- That old thing?
- Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna shine it up
and we're gonna bring that thing back to life.
Lets help these dogs, it's almost time for Dogs Day Out.
I ordered something online at Target.
I think they're onto it!
They know its for them.
I'm a big believer in multi functional health supplements.
And, our sponsor SmartyPaws does a great job
at making a peanut butter flavored supplement.
SmartyPaws is actually made by smarty pants!
And, this one is adult so this would be for our boy
Flip, right here.
We've got senior for our senior dog Zoey.
And, for our foster pup Kobe we even have puppy supplements.
Watch how much Kobe loves SmartyPaws, watch!
Kobe, you want a SmartyPaw?
You know what to do.
You want a SmartPaw, sit.
He knows!
Here you go, good boy!
Okay, we've been working on his training.
Our dogs love the taste of these supplements
and what I love about them is their quality ingredients.
They're wheat-free, they're soy free,
and they're designed by vets.
SmartyPaws is a great supplement that helps
support things like hip and joint, gut and immunity,
even things like thyroid health, and its no wonder.
With ingredients like glucosamine, chondroitin,
green-lipped mussel, even chia seed
and organic alfalfa all made in the USA,
it's something I can stand behind,
and, I love giving to my dogs.
Lay down!
My girl Zoey right here is a senior dog
and you wouldn't even know it if I didn't tell you.
Because we really focus on health and nutrition.
It's one of the reasons I love SmartyPaws, is because
its good for my dogs and she loves it!
Okay, I'm gonna put a link in the description below!
Go check it out right now!
SmartyPaws are available at Target or you can go to
Target.com like I did and order them online.
So, click that link in the description right now
and get your dogs some really great supplements.
(Rocky as Zoey) I love SmartyPaws!
- All right, I think I've got everything we need here.
The goal is just to kind of shine this up.
Freshen this up, cause the dogs know, right?
They can sense and they can feel all the love
and effort that goes into something like this.
So, that's why this is so important.
Sometimes it doesn't take much do a little DIY
project that goes a long way, you know?
And I think shelters really appreciate this stuff,
cause they don't always get all the love and support
that they should.
So I got chalkboard paint and were gonna attempt to turn
this into a chalkboard so that we can write a new
pupsicle sign but then the shelter can use it for
whatever they want.
So, next we're gonna sand this thing.
I'm gonna use this brush, I just wanna kinda scratch the
surface up enough that the stain will stick to it.
Oh, yeah, that works nice, look at that.
It's kinda the only option I had available but that's
gonna work nice.
We do a lot of DIY projects, now mind you,
they're all for dogs, but what else matters?
Look at the difference here, how nice that stain
looks already on this board versus this board.
This is gonna prolong the life of this pupsicle stand.
Dogs from far and wide talk about pupsicle stands.
So far, it's only been a myth.
I don't know about you but I have not seen a lot of
pupsicle stands out there so we really gotta preserve
the ones that we have.
It's like the Apple Store of pupsicle stands.
A lot of dogs they don't need iPhones, they'd rather
come get a pupsicle and this is the place to do it.
- I'm Cindy Rigney, I'm Board President here at
San Gabriel Valley Humane Society, if you're thinking
about adopting a dog, or a cat, or any kind of animal,
I would do a little bit of research first.
Always make sure that your family is ready.
Ready to welcome that dog into their home, it's another
part of your family, it's is literally like
having another child.
In a kennel situation, they are scared.
They don't like being here any more than, you know,
we would like being in a cage.
We're working with the animals to get them as adoptable
as possible and we want to find them the best home
that will fit with their personality.
It's just like we're different, they're different.
All of my babies are from here.
I love them and its just the dedication to every single
animal that I've ever had was from here.
- Can you believe I got all of this in a day?
We got ball pit balls, we got toys.
Here I'll throw this one a little more gentile.
- We got a hundred of these?
- We have one hundred.
Oh man, the dogs are going to love this.
- I got the ball pit balls.
- Okay, okay, good work, good work.
- [Blake] This is a ball pit that I wanna jump in for sure.
Rocky, what's this for?
- [Rocky] I'm glad you asked, you are gonna love it.
The dogs are gonna love it.
My dog, Flip, wanted to come and play but
but they're not out of quarantine yet, so, look!
We got Flip toys, how cool is that?
- Oh these are cool!
- Yeah, you can order them too, just go to RockyKanaka.com
Merch plug, well, Flip plug.
So you can get that or puppachino toys!
Boom!
Rockykanaka.com You can order those.
But right now, I say we fill the pool with them.
- You didn't say they squeak!
- It squeaks!
(toys squeak)
- Anyone who's watching this with their dog right now
is like stop!
- #FlipApproved
I got decorations, we're gonna hang up streamers.
We got some balloons right here.
It's gotta look good for the dogs, they know.
It is a hot day!
I was thinking about Luna all night, last night.
So, its a lot of hard work, especially in the heat.
But, if it makes Luna's day, it makes my day.
Okay, what do you think?
- Wow this is fantastic, look at this!
- Big question is though
what do you think Luna is gonna think of this?
- I think she's gonna be blown away, because its just.
It's gorgeous.
- Yeah she can play with giant tennis balls!
- She can play with everything!
- Well should we grab Luna?
- All right, let me go get the staff, lets get her!
- Welcome to the biggest Dogs Day Out ever!
(upbeat music)
- Okay, this is the big moment.
Like, this is what we've been working hard for.
Luna is gonna see this face and I just can't wait.
I hope that she really loves it she deserves it.
Because, you know, she got returned to the shelter,
and she's gotta be scared, and she doesn't know what's
going on and so I think this will show her just how much
she's loved and hopefully enough people will see this
and share this, that Luna will get adopted.
She's waiting outside, lets let her in.
Come on in!
Look at her, checking it out like a good Husky.
Scoping the scene.
Oh, what's this, what's this!
(toy squeaking)
Lets get Luna her pupsicle.
(tongue clicking)
It's gotta be somewhat overwhelming.
She's never had something like this just all for her.
Good girl, you got a little on your nose.
Its a hot day.
This is fantastic, she's going at the right tempo
checking things out, it makes me so happy just to see
her getting to run around and play.
She feels safe in here.
Good girl, come here.
Just to see Luna so happy when she saw this space,
makes all of this worth it, but the good news is we have
so many more dogs to bring in so they can check it out
and have a good time.
(upbeat music)
You want to play?
So, Snoopy a great dog.
Snoopy was an owner surrender, greyhounds are amazing dogs.
And, athletes, so if you want an active dog,
Snoopy would be perfect.
Oh, so cute, such a pretty dog.
Have some fun, Snoop, play around!
Awesome.
Hi!
Here you go.
He loves it!
It's good for you too.
Oh, that's gotta be cold.
Oh, you've got some on your nose!
Blue wants another pupsicle!
Here you go, blue loves the pupsicles.
You're my boy, Blue!
Hi, girl!
Now, we're bringing in Ralph, rodney and Ralph
were found together as strays off the street.
Now, we're pretty sure they're brother and sister so
we want to bring them in together to play together
so that they can just be together.
If you're out there and you want to adopt brother and sister
keeping them together would be awesome!
Hi, yeah, you want a toy?
The thing is they've been kenneled side by side so they're
together but they're in separate kennels
because they just had surgery.
So for them to get to spend this moment together just
kinda chokes me up and I'm really glad
we were able to do this.
They're a hoot, but, they should be this excited to see
each other because its a reunion, I mean it makes working
hard and throwing this all together in this 24 hour
challenge worth it.
Kelly, come on in!
Aw, she's cute, she just wants to be held.
It's no wonder Kelly just wants to be held, because, her
owner passed away and so she lost her family.
She's out of family right now, a little scared.
All right, you remember Max, now, Max was lunging at
the cage, he's growling, he's gnarling, but that's
not always reflective of who a dog is, and so, we're
gonna test something, we're gonna try something.
And, we're gonna let Max come in here and play by himself.
We're gonna let him have a good time.
We're all gonna back out and be behind the fence and
just let him play, see what happens.
- Look at what we've got here, boy!
- He is having a great time, this is awesome!
Look at that, see, that's what I'm talking about.
Dogs in shelters aren't reflective of who they are.
Look how awesome he is, he just needed the opportunity
to have a good time.
Okay, I'm gonna put the link down below if you want to
adopt any of these dogs, go click on that link!
