Rescued Dog Who Didn’t Have A Good Start In Life Tries To Gather The Courage To Enter Her New Home
You know that feeling of moving from a bad state and stepping into a world of comfort? That is what this dog experienced.
When Valentine stepped inside her first genuine home, the dog was nervous and didn't have the foggiest idea of what to do. The pit bull/dalmatian blend had no clue about what safety or solace could mean for her.
This is due to the fact that she had spent her young time on earth giving birth to puppies in a hoarding situation. Ashley Moses, who is now Valentine's new mother, told The Dodo that the dog was extremely timid when we initially met her.
She added that Valentine wasn't open to them, and they were unable to figure out her character during their first encounter with her. "She looked very sad, and immediately, you could tell that she had a crushed spirit."
Moses and her partner were not certain whether they could deal with a dog like Valentine, but they also knew that they needed to at least try. Moses said she knew Valentine was their dog from the second she saw her picture, and it may sound cheesy, but for her, it was love at first sight.
She admitted that after they adopted her, they both told each other the doubts they had about adopting her. Doubts like, "Can they deal with a dog like this and what if she never opens up?" Moses and her fiancé had never rescued before, so they were worried about how to handle a scared dog.
Meet the Valentine, the pit bull!
Looking at Valentine's unsure reaction to her new home pained Moses, as she believed Valentine would know immediately that she was now safe, but the pittie was not prepared to trust after all she'd experienced.

She added that Valentine was frightened, but they tricked her with loads of treats. "She didn't have any desire to talk with us throughout the whole night as she still stayed extremely sad and discouraged."
Feel at home, Val..

The following morning, Moses expected the rescued dog to still be withdrawn, but to her surprise, she was welcomed with appreciative licks. It was as though Valentine's character had totally changed overnight.
"She was totally a different dog canine as she was playing, jumping, kissing me and was exceptionally happy. It was an insane moment since we were not anticipating that she would open up so rapidly."
Over the following few months, Valentine's folks assisted her with conquering the fears from her previous life. They did activities like going out in the rain and strolling down the stairs.
Valentine finally understood that she is now home.

Valentine is now the most expressive and entertaining dog of all time, and her parents are so pleased with all the progress she's made.
According to Moses, they can hardly wait to cherish her until the end of time. What's more, Valentine feels the very same way.
