Dogs and Coffee Podcast by Rocky Kanaka and Kelly Kanaka talks all things dogs and coffee. This podcast covers comedy to heartfelt moments talking about the state of dog rescue, how to handle difficult dogs, some of our favorite coffee drinks and more all while Rocky tries to be a barista. We serve Flip Coffee at local cafes and will hopefully do this around the country! #DogRescue #schnauzer

We are fighting to save this dog and honestly it's not going to be easy but we have an idea!
AND JUST WAIT until you hear Zach's story of recovery, how dogs helped save his life, and why the exact things a struggling dog needs are often the things a struggling human needs, too. Together, they break down the 6 rules Zach says can change a life: rules, boundaries, discipline, exercise, purpose, and affection. Zach explains how caring for dogs gave him the structure he couldn't give himself and ultimately helped rebuild his life.
And then Zach explains the Positive Change Program, which brings shelter dogs into prisons where incarcerated people train and rehabilitate them. The dogs get the skills they need to become adoptable, while the people caring for them get responsibility, purpose, connection, and a chance to build a different future. Some participants have gone on to become professional dog trainers after leaving prison. If you believe every dog deserves a second chance - and that sometimes saving a dog means saving a person, too, subscribe and join us every week.
🚨 HELP SAVE SLINK Slink is a Doberman/Great Dane who went through the Positive Change Program and was recently hospitalized after swallowing a towel. His surgery was brought down from $17,500 to $4,500, with the final cost expected to be approximately $6,000 - $8,000. 👉 Please use the YouTube Donate button directly on this video. 100% of donations made through the button go directly to Marley's Mutts to help save Slink.

What happens when your dream project turns into a six-month nightmare before it even gets started? Groom a shelter dog here! https://rockykanaka.com/groom
This week, we're sharing the story behind our new shelter grooming van - why we bought it, how grooming can save dogs' lives, and the unexpected mechanical problems that nearly stopped the mission before it began.
We talk about why so many shelter dogs never receive the grooming they desperately need, how a simple bath can dramatically increase adoption chances, and our vision of bringing mobile grooming services to shelters across the country. We also break down the costly repairs, disappointing experience with the seller, and why we're still committed to making this dream a reality despite every setback.
Finally, we introduce this week's Adoptable Dog of the Week, Violet, the very first dog to receive a makeover in our grooming van and a transformation you won't want to miss.

See how a simple repair turned into a major financial loss. This video documents the reality of discovering severe rust and corrosion on a propane tank during a routine inspection. If you own an RV or vehicle with propane systems, you need to understand the safety risks and the potential for a massive repair bill that sometimes just isn't worth fixing. We break down the specific repair quote of over $1,800 and why it forced the decision to sell the entire unit for a much bigger loss than $5,400 Many owners underestimate the danger of corrosion on gas lines. This breakdown highlights why catching maintenance nightmares early is critical before they snowball into thousands of dollars in damages. We discuss the hard reality of walking away from a project when the repair costs outweigh the value of the asset. Subscribe for weekly maintenance breakdowns and real-world project updates. Comment below if you have ever had to walk away from a repair project to save your sanity.

Selma Blair shares her go to coffee order, gets venerable and at the end of the episode has us all cracking up! 😂❤️ In this deeply personal episode of Dogs and Coffee, the iconic Selma joins Rocky and Kelly to share the years of unexplained symptoms, exhaustion, and self-doubt that came long before her MS diagnosis.
She opens up about what it was like trying to hide symptoms she couldn't explain, why finally getting a diagnosis brought relief, and how learning to trust herself changed everything. At the center of her story is Scout, her remarkable service dog, who became much more than a mobility companion.
Selma shares how Scout helped restore her confidence, supported her through daily life with MS and POTS, learned to remind her when it was time for medication, and gave her the courage to keep showing up—even on the hardest days. The conversation also explores the emotional realities of chronic illness, losing friendships, finding purpose through vulnerability, and why dogs have an incredible ability to make us feel seen when the world doesn't.
There are plenty of laughs too, from Scout's obsession with treats and his refusal to swim, to stories from movie sets and Selma's refreshingly honest sense of humor. If you've ever struggled to trust your own body, cared for someone facing chronic illness, or experienced the unconditional love of a dog, this episode is for you.
Make sure you check out Selma Blair in the upcoming Ethan Almighty: Kentucky rescue dog's story that is hitting the big screen soon.
