The scared and sheepish look on this dog’s face when people would visit her at the shelter is heartbreaking. But she refuses to give up. She found a home and is now truly loved. Thanks to that love, she’s making an astounding transformation. When her new owners adopted her, she only weighed 19 pounds. For a dog of her breed and size, she should weigh more like 40-60 pounds.

The dog was so deprived of touch that she wasn’t sure what to do. With some time, this dog started coming out of its shell, putting on weight and becoming a friendly and loving dog. It’s the sweetest transformation.

Watch the video to see how much this dog loves her new home.

And now she’s learning how to snuggle and love on humans.
