No one is quite sure what all this poor pittie endured to be so terrified, but she was scared of everything. The dog’s caretaker had to carry the dog up and down the stairs and out into the grass for rest stops. But when the dog got outside, it would just lay down and look defeated.

Building trust with her was extremely challenging. The dog’s name is Josie and with time, she slowly adjusted. The way the caretaker got the dog to adjust was through being around her in safe environments that showed that the caretaker was there for her.

Today, she’s a vivacious and healthy dog.
