There are numerous ways to help homeless dogs in animal shelters aside from adopting them. You can volunteer to help the shelter. You can donate to them. Or you can do what Rocky Kanaka does and throw an entire thanksgiving dinner for the dogs.
Rocky Kanaka is a famous YouTube content creator who often throws celebrations for dogs. On a recent video, he collaborated with Frostyfaces, an animal rescue organization, to surprise several homeless senior dogs. Since he is very talented in baking and creating dog food, he prepared a special dinner for many dogs in the shelter.
Rocky called his event “Barksgiving,” a wordplay on Thanksgiving. He prepared turkey pot pie, pumpkin pie, cornbread, crunchies, and more. He’s the type of content creator who always puts a lot of effort when doing something like this.
Rocky also has a team of volunteers from the animal shelter to help him distribute the food. Once the feast started, it’s apparent how much each dog enjoyed their meal. Several notable rescued dogs were in the shelter, so Rocky took some time to get to know them.
There was a dog named Marvis who only had one eye. There’s a senior dog named Duke who loves to snuggle under warm blankets. Another dog there named Chopstix had cerebral palsy. Most of the dogs in Frostyfaces were seniors who needed some love.
Frostyfaces wasn’t the only place Rocky visited that day. He also went to another shelter that day to do the same thing. By the end of the day, he had fed over a hundred shelter dogs.
More than just giving food, Rocky also wants to raise awareness for the animal shelter. His videos often get millions of views, which means dogs he features are likely to get adopted. This is how Rocky Kanaka had made a career out of helping dogs in need.
