00:00She was found in a forest and she's never had a home. It honestly breaks your heart seeing a puppy

00:05like this. She should be running around causing chaos. Instead she's absolutely terrified. This

00:12is the very first time we met Paris and if you're anything like me seeing a dog this scared is

00:17really hard to watch. But don't lose hope just yet because we've got our entire pack waiting to meet

00:24her and I'm really hoping they can show her that people and other dogs aren't so scary after all.

00:31I don't want to get ahead of her story though because right now I'm honestly just wondering

00:35one thing. Can we help her? Well let's find out. Come and meet Paris.

01:05So Paris has just spent the last two days in the back of that van traveling all the way from

01:10Macedonia. We grab a quick photo to confirm she's arrived safely and now we get to see how she reacts

01:16to being somewhere completely new. You can see we're losing light. Oh look at her tail. Look

01:22at her tail. Oh good girl. There's a wagon inside. Should I take the lead off? I think just let

01:27it drag.

01:28Yeah. Just let it drag. She might need the toilet. Hello darling. Come on then. Oh look at her tail.

01:34Come on. Oh she's so unsure. We're trying to speak quietly so we don't wake and annoy all the other

01:41dogs. We actually ended up getting Paris at about half nine at night so all of our dogs are

01:46already tucked up in bed which means tonight isn't about big introductions it's just about

01:51letting her settle in. Oh she's scared but her little tail's absolutely adorable. Hey guys.

01:58Come on then. Come on then. It's okay. I'm wearing time. Oh my god she's absolutely adorable. She's

02:07like a miniature greyhound. Do you know what she looks like? She looks like a black lurcher. We are

02:11losing light a little bit as you can see. It's so late at night. So here's the plan.

02:16Because it's so late we've set up a little area in our bedroom for Paris to sleep tonight.

02:22Then tomorrow morning once she's had a good night's sleep she'll finally get to meet the

02:26rest of the pack. So ideally we'll want her to have a bit of a sniff around like she's

02:30doing now and then hopefully go to the toilet. What's good is obviously all around this garden

02:35and everything will absolutely stink of all the dogs inside so although they won't be meeting

02:40her tonight at least she can get all of their smells. Her little white bits are gorgeous.

02:44Her little white specks. I know. You can see she's like hyper aware of everything right

02:48now like sniffing the air to try and figure out where she is. Taking like really slow steps

02:55and then pausing just to make sure it's safe. Staying low to the ground as well. Really slow

03:02movements. What? Yeah you're talking like you're narrating her like David Atman. I was

03:08literally about to say that. In the wild. Paris does start exploring a little which is a really

03:14good sign. Every now and then she'll come over for a little sniff but she's still keeping her

03:19distance. But she doesn't go to the toilet and we're starting to lose light so I think it's time

03:25to take her upstairs. I'm being bitten sorry. Okay I'm gonna very slowly pick you up. She weighs nothing. This

03:35is just like me then.

03:39Okay we're gonna go around the side of the house. We're gonna be very silent. We're trying to be as

03:44quiet as we can because the last thing we want

03:47is all the other dogs waking up and getting excited. We're gonna put her in her little spot.

03:54I'm embarrassed. She's wagging her down. Oh bless her. We want her to be comfy so we can put this

03:59harness back on her tomorrow.

04:01I'm just gonna take this off. It's okay. She's got some water there. If she wants any. You go get

04:08some water.

04:09So she's now all settled for the night but then Ella. She's having a wee. And this is exactly why

04:16we spent

04:16so long waiting outside for her to go to the toilet. So I take her back outside one more time.

04:22Still nothing.

04:23We come back in. She settles down for the night but I'm really curious to see how she's going to

04:28be

04:29in the morning. We have just woken up. It's the next morning. She's had a poo literally just now.

04:36She's had a wee. It absolutely stinks in here. So a great start. We cleaned up her little area and

04:42then we

04:43let our pack out into the garden so they can do their business.

04:51And it's finally time for Paris to meet her first dog but we have a problem. This adorable little

04:57fluffball Francis is our other rescue and he can be reactive when meeting other dogs in the garden.

05:07So we're going to take Francis out on a walk with Paris so the first meet is on neutral

05:12ground. After this though, Paris can meet all the other dogs in the garden. I don't think she's

05:17going to walk a lot. In fact, I don't think she's going to walk at all. But let's see. Right.

05:23We are in

05:23the shade. Put her down. Francis has just realised there's another dog. Come on, Francis. Oh, he wants

05:33to sniff her. Good boy. So this is the first time we've seen her meet another dog. She's super

05:40submissive. Oh, she's shaking. He's being so polite. Oh, she's shaking. Bless her. Well, there's loads of

05:45people there. People always ask us why we don't introduce our dogs on neutral ground and this is

05:50exactly why. For a dog that's this scared and low on confidence, it's just too much too soon. Normally,

05:57we'd always let them settle in first. But with Francis, our hands were kind of forced. There are

06:02some people behind her working. So that's why she's a bit scared. Oh, Francis, you are a sweet boy.

06:11She's so submissive, isn't she? Yeah. He looks completely fine with her,

06:15which is obviously really good. We've done some dog meets before and he's

06:18been a bit barky and everything. All right. Do you want to pick Paris up? Yeah.

06:23And then we'll go back into the garden and she can meet the rest of the pack.

06:26Since Paris has obviously already been into the garden, we can start getting dogs out straight

06:30away. We're going to get our other rescue dog that we have, Ruby, because she seems very excited to

06:36meet her. She's around three or four. But what's interesting, you can already see how much confidence

06:41she's being with another dog. So let's go and get Ruby. Yeah. Ruby, Ruby, Kobe out. Come on, Ruby.

06:49Go on, Ruby, out. Good girl. All right. Hi, Ruby. First dog. So she's never met

06:58another dog before. Oh my God, that is adorable. Just so you know, when you went inside, she got FOMO.

07:05Who? Paris? Yeah, she ran up the gate. Oh, she loves dogs, doesn't she? Yeah. Good girl, Ruby.

07:12Oh, she's going all submissive. Oh, that's my stomach.

07:17Oh, good girl, Ruby. Good girl. So Ruby, we've only had for less than a week, so she's still,

07:24good girl, Paris, figuring her way in the pack. Look how much confidence she gets being with another dog.

07:29Oh my God. Oh, hello. She missed you. Good girl. Did you miss him? She's a proper human dog,

07:39isn't she? Well, she's one of those human dog dogs. Yeah. Oh, that is adorable. You can see,

07:45wagging tail, Ruby showing no aggression. Paris is trying to kiss her. So lots of positive... Oh,

07:53hello. Oh my God, you've got to break our fence. Okay, I'm going to... She's literally tiny.

07:56I'm going to let Ruby go through. That's not been there. Okay. Go on then, Ruby. Ruby.

08:02Can you just open the gate, JJ? Okay. She is through. Oh, Paris. Oh wow,

08:09that's really good. So Ruby's just completely ignored her. There we go. Oh, Ruby's also a bit unsure.

08:15The girls have missed... It helps because Ruby can be a bit bossy. Yeah, she can be a bit of

08:19a bully.

08:20Um, it helps that... Paris. I'm losing track of names. Paris is a bit bigger than her. Yeah. Oh, look,

08:27look, look, look, look. Oh. I think you're going to love Moki. Oh, okay, submissive. Oh, you think

08:34she's going to love Moki? Well, I think she's going to be scared of Moki. Well, I think she's terrified

08:37at

08:37first, yeah, as every dog is. What a difference when she meets dogs. Look at her. I mean,

08:43compared to even yesterday. Good girl. All right, that went really well. She's starting to become

08:50a bit braver, but what is she going to be like when she sees a dog five times the size?

08:57Ten times the size. Ten times the size because obviously these dogs are all smaller than her.

09:01So I'm going to go and get our mini horse, Moki, our mini horse Doberman. Do I look crazy with

09:09this

09:09thing on? Yeah, that's okay. Okay. Let me go and get Moki. Moki, you've been waiting very patiently.

09:16Come on then. Good girl. Kobe, hang on. You're next. I know, I promise. You're next. Good boy.

09:22Come on then. Here comes my girl. Good morning. Oh, wow. She didn't back off. I'll be honest,

09:31rescuing these dogs isn't cheap and it isn't easy, but it's because of you guys that we get to keep

09:36doing it. And there are more dogs out there just like Paris waiting on us. So if you can help

09:41out,

09:41a link to our GoFundMe is down below or you can scan the QR code on screen. Thank you so

09:47much.

09:47Oh, my God. Oh, Paddy. She's like, oh, another dog? Yes. Yay. Hi, darling. Good morning.

09:55Oh, my God. We're going to have to put Ruby inside. Yeah, I know.

10:00I'm not sure if Kobe wants, oh, not Kobe. No, he doesn't. Oh, my God. I'm not sure.

10:03Ruby, Ruby, Ruby. I'm not sure. Right, I'm going to go and put Ruby inside. Ruby's

10:10come back inside because she's getting too excited. Okay, so we're going to let Moki through. Now,

10:16Paris, I just wanted to be aware. There we go. That Moki is going to be coming through. Do

10:22that's right, I got it. Help. Yes. Go on, Moki. She's like, are you coming in or am I going?

10:32Come,

10:32Moki, come. Good girl. I don't know. Paris is more concerned about me than Moki. Yeah,

10:38honestly, she gets straight FOMO when you go for overload. Does she? Yeah. She's like,

10:42I want to go overload. She's so good with the other dogs. Did she live in a big pack? She

10:50must have.

10:52Oh, hello. Oh, she loves me, doesn't she? Hello, Francis. I think she loves people,

10:57defo. You can tell. Oh, look at Moki. Moki's not going to like the smell of her. She doesn't mind.

11:02She did just smell my hands. Oh. Moki's got this funny thing where sometimes these dogs arrive

11:06and they're a bit smelly, aren't they? They're a bit smelly and Moki doesn't like it. Her little white

11:12bits are absolutely adorable. I know. She's like a speckled egg. Oh. Moki, look, there's a dog that isn't scared

11:20of you.

11:20Why? The dog isn't scared of you, Moki. Are you happy? Okay. So, we are going to go and get

11:28our last dog, our loveable but jealous golden retriever, Kobe. Okay. Last but not enough,

11:34Ruby. You've had your time. Kobe, come on. Get him on. Oh. Right. Ruby's run back out. I'll go and

11:42get

11:42Ruby. It's all right. Just leave her for a minute. Okay. We just leave her on that side.

11:48Good boy. Patient, Kobe. Right. Kobe can come pretty much straight through

11:53because let's be honest, it's Kobe. Kobe, come on. Kobe. Kobe. Oh, Moki's going to get excited.

11:57Kobe, go on. Moki, Moki. No, leave Kobe alone. Leave him alone. Moki, out. No.

12:04Moki, out. She's the most scared with Kobe. How funny. Oh, yeah. Look, she's like, oh my God.

12:11Squished up against the fence. Yeah. Moki, out. Go on. Out. Yeah. Give her a bit of space.

12:17Oh. Oh, good boy. Yeah. She's the most scared of Kobe. How strange is that? Do you reckon she

12:24can tell he's a boy? We are now going to open this back up. We're going to keep an arm,

12:28Ruby,

12:28because she's obviously getting a little bit too overwhelmed, but that went really well. Funnily enough,

12:36the scared dogs are usually the easier. The better ones. Yeah. Well, not better, but as in

12:41because they're scared. Oh, she's a bit. No, Moki, out. She's chasing her. Yeah. Out.

12:49Meeting's done, but getting her into the house turned out to be a lot harder than expected,

12:53but we did have a plan. Okay. Ella is going to open up the conservatory

13:00and the doors so that when we let her into the house for the first time, she's basically got a

13:05space

13:06that she's able to run out of because scared dogs like her, oh, bless her. She's doing appeasement

13:11licks and everything, and no dog is just paying her any attention. Scared dogs like her, it's a lot

13:16better when they've got space they can sort of like run into. You know, we don't want her to

13:21to go inside where it's obviously a much smaller space and she feels confined or anything. All right.

13:27Conservatory. Oh, leave it there. Conservatory needs some work. And then I'm going to go in,

13:34know that she has opened this door so she can come into here. Every dog always gets so confused

13:39about stepping over this thing. I think because it was glass, they don't understand that it's not

13:44anymore. So I'm going to come into here and see if she'll follow because I'd like her to come into

13:49the house so she can see the inside. Come on, Paris. She's scared, bless her. Come on. Kobe, come.

13:58Kobe, come out. I think she's scared. That's why. Yeah, there we go. It's because Kobe was blocking it.

14:04Okay, in her own time, she can come on in. See, this is why we like to keep this open

14:11because

14:11you see how she just ran away there. She's got the space to do it. I'm going to see if

14:15she wants

14:16any support. Come on, then. Come on, Paris. Look, your friend's here. Francis is here, see. Oh,

14:24that's brave. Paris. Hi. That's brave. Oh, bless her. She's a bit unsure. You can tell Moki really

14:34wants to be best friends with her. The little appeasement licks she does is absolutely adorable.

14:39My bless her. So Paris does kind of shut down and stays outside. And sadly, this isn't the first

14:45time we've seen a dog this scared. In fact, we've now rescued over 50 dogs and some of our favourite

14:51rescue stories are now available to watch on Tubi. It's completely free. There's no subscription

14:56needed. So if you want to check them out, just scan the QR code on screen or click the link

15:01in

15:02the description below. Oh, well done, Kobe. Good boy. So I've just come inside. These have come in.

15:09She's still there. Oh, bless her. I wonder if she would eventually wonder and I'm sure she will.

15:15We obviously want to make this completely no pressure for Paris. So we just left the back door open

15:20and let her make the decision herself. Just look at that little face peeking in. And then,

15:26after taking her time, she finally finds the courage to wander inside.

15:31She's being a bit braver. She's made it halfway in. Oh, and there she is.

15:36She's in. I can't believe I actually managed to catch that on camera.

15:40She's going to go straight back out. Oh, she's like, hello, I'm being brave.

15:45Hello, Paris. Oh, shouldn't have paid her any attention.

15:50Well, that was the first time she came into the house. She's in and out,

15:53but you can see she's really trying to be brave, bless her.

15:56She did end up wandering in again when preparing her dinner. And honestly,

16:00we're going to go straight into crate training. Our room is like the only place we get any downtime.

16:05So we really want her to get used to a crate as soon as possible.

16:08So I put her straight into the crate, positive things with the food. I love how she was about

16:13to come out and then straight away, she's like, oh, food. I think she's really hungry.

16:17Okay. She absolutely housed her food down. She's got a little food touch.

16:24We did then give her a chew to try and help her decompress,

16:27but she had FOMO and wanted to come out the crate. So we let her out and she finally ventured

16:32into the house for the first time. She's fully in now. We're just waiting on Kobe and Moki to

16:38finish their food outside so that we can let her out. Cause we think she's going to need the toilet,

16:43but this is the first time she's brave enough to come in, which is really good.

16:46She was doing so well, even starting to explore. We were keeping a close eye on her though.

16:52We know that I'm about to pee sniff all too well. So we gently guided her back outside.

16:57And now it was finally time to officially welcome her into the pack.

17:02Okay. And last thing to welcome you into the Golden Kobe family.

17:07We have got you a collar, which is I think like basically four lurches.

17:13She could maybe do with a pink one, but this will do for now.

17:16She's already starting to look a little braver, but we know we've still got a long way to go with

17:21Paris.

17:22So if you want to see how far she comes, make sure you hit that subscribe button because we'll be
