The second Laurie SanchezGuzman heard about a little stray dog wandering the streets and living in a dirty ditch she knew she had to put on her cape and be her hero
Even though a few rescuers had already attempted to save the sweet girl SanchezGuzman with her extensive experience working with D A Animal Rescue a rescue organization from Texas knew a few tricks that might succeed where others had not
And since you can do anything you put your mind to a positive outcome was already guaranteed

When SanchezGuzman finally found herself facetoface with the pup her heart broke into a million pieces
The pup later named Valentina was completely covered in mud with her fur clumped into painful mats The rescuer also noticed some issues with her eye and ears thinking that they were probably infected
It was obvious that this sweet girl desperately needed medical attention And as much as she knew that herself the strange hooman still made her quite nervous

Easy Does It
Not wanting to spook Valentina even further the rescuer decided to take things slow
At first she stayed at a distance throwing some yummy treats and waiting for the pup to get comfortable in her presence And even though they were making incredible progress as time went by the rescuer knew that she needed to speed things up
I was running out of time I needed to head back to my town to get my kid from school and also a bad storm was starting to fall I had to do something drastic She was close to me eating and I just grabbed her from her back fur and pushed her inside a crate as fast as I could SanchezGuzman told The Dodo
Initially Valentina didnt really like her new home She did not allow a single person to come close to her let alone touch her It was clear that this pup didnt have pleasant experiences with hoomans before because even though she desperately needed a spa day she was still quite feisty

Luckily as days went by Valentina realized that these hoomans were actually the good ones so becoming best friends with her rescuer seemed the best idea and it was
This newfound love allowed the Texas rescuer to take the pup to the vet as well as the groomer Valentina wasnt really a big fan of all the new faces but when she was finally done she looked like a brandnew pup
She started to show her real personality and I learned she was very motivated by food treats and human interaction She was a tough cookie Made of pure muscle it was a bit challenging to care for her in my home full of other fosters But she got into a routine and was happy when she got her oneonone time She was an amazing dog a true fighter and a survivor she stated

A New Life
SanchezGuzman decided to foster sweet Valentina for about a year During this time a lot of kindhearted people reached out to her with interest in adopting Valentina Unfortunately they just werent the right fit
So many people applied to adopt her and we kept declining the applications because we knew she needed an experienced and committed adopter who understood that she was a warrior in a small and cute body SanchezGuzman said

After some time searching she finally found a family who she knew would take good care of the pup
Valentina did need some time to adapt to the new faces and surroundings but her family had tons of patience and was dedicated to giving her a good life
Fast forward to today and this little angel is living the best life possible
She is the sweetest happiest girl ever who still tends to be a bit of a spitfire and her family absolutely loves her for it
