At first, she was timid and hid behind a trash can, but Donna won her over with a can of sausage.

Surprisingly, Little Toes walked past the food and approached Donna, looking at her with eyes full of hope.

“It was as if she was saying, ‘Are you here to help me?’” Donna said.

Donna gently guided Little Toes into her car, and during the ride to the shelter, the pup felt so safe and comfortable that she fell asleep in her rescuer’s lap.

She was named Little Toes because her toes were cold when they found her, but her warm personality quickly stole the hearts of everyone at the shelter.

After receiving much-needed care and love, Little Toes recovered from her ordeal. She expressed her gratitude by giving long, affectionate hugs to everyone who cared for her.
