Thank you all for the kindest words, love and support ❤. Amina is living her best life! She recovered well from heartworm 🐾. Thank you for sharing our story @the dodo

[@sbffsbrarbrr]

Your patience and love for Amina is amazing. Thank you for taking care of her. I hope you get to see her babies every once in a while.

[@nopenope9118]

Thank you SO much for all the hard work you put into rescuing her and making sure she has a safe, loving home. I know it’s not easy to socialize a dog who is so fearful. I’m so glad she gets to live her best life now, on a soft couch! Also, you have beautiful eyes! They’re stunning.

[@peaceshepherding529]

Ms. Mariani, please let all the people who helped by supporting space for Amina, the real estate owner, the neighbors… know her story is posted & gratitude is for their care, too! This is the way the world could work every day, everywhere! Community. Empathy. Commitment. Thank you All! Best Wishes!

[@Sweetlyfe]

Beautiful to watch your commitment to winning her over, I’m on my 5th rescue dog he is covered in scars and was terrified when I first adopted him, even though he wouldn’t go to the toilet for 30hrs after I adopted him, he had never lived inside before or had ever had a dog bed he has 3 now inside, outside, and in my car as I take him to work with me every day, I had to lift him onto my bed at night for the first month, but he decided to bond with me then, and he doesn’t want to leave my side, it was a lot of work at the beginning, but I’ve had a seriously abused dog before so I know slow and steady, well you have to go by the dog’s pace, lots of building up his trust with consistency, and gentle tone of voice. He still gets scared of other Men, but he is great with kids and will be willing to get closer to Women to say hello. Alina is beautiful and you’ve done a fantastic job with her. I love my fella like he is my kid.

​@@christinamarianidesign I follow Hope for Paws in L.A. They go out and rescue animals and then take them to a vet and then to a foster home. I wish they had had a group like this to have helped you catch her earlier. one of the things that happens when they get the pets rescued is how tired they are . It is so exhausting to live on the streets.

I pray this pit, continues to stay sweet, and loving and never reverts to what they were bred for, Had a friend whos rescued pit turned suddenly into a monster when he was about 5 yrs old. She called me on the phone bawling her eyes out. her pit had grabbed one of the kitties he was raised with and mopped up the porch floor with it's blood.then went after the other two cats that were already afraid. She didn't know what to do. I had warned her. He finally had to have him put to sleep. He had a wonderful life before he reverted. his own bed, his own everything a spoiled dog could have. who would have known?
