There are times when homeless dogs possess the most protective hearts.
Maddie, a homeless puppy, yearned for human affection but was too frightened to trust and let love in.
The day her life began to transform was when she met Selina, a compassionate dog rescuer.
Upon spotting Maddie by the roadside for the first time, Selina felt an instant urge to help and bring her to safety. The pup was suffering from a skin condition that left her itching.
Maddie, however, was too scared to allow Selina to come near her.
Determined to earn her trust, Selina decided to visit Maddie regularly, providing treatment for her skin issues.
Winning Over Maddie’s Heart

Though Maddie would scamper away whenever Selina reached out to her, she started to follow her scooter back to her home. Yet, whenever Selina halted, the timid pup would dart off.
Maddie longed to trust Selina but had to conquer her fears first.
Selina continued to feed Maddie daily and softly speak to her, trying to win her affection.

As Maddie made a full recovery, Selina rejoiced in her healing; her itching subsided and her fur regrew.
Maddie recognized the genuine caring of Selina and developed a bond of love for her rescuer. The pup began to wait eagerly for Selina every day at the same spot, beaming with joy.
Whenever Maddie spotted her cherished human approaching, she would leap with excitement and wag her tail energetically.
“Initially, she loved me from a distance with no need for touch…,” noted Selina in her Instagram video.
After several months, Maddie finally permitted Selina to cuddle her for the very first time.
Their daily meetings became a cherished routine, with Maddie eagerly anticipating her snuggles with Selina.
Selina provided the love that Maddie had always yearned for.
Once Selina recognized Maddie’s trust, she took her to the veterinarian for a thorough check-up.
To her astonishment, the vet revealed that Maddie was pregnant and ready to give birth in just a few days.
Maddie Finds Her Forever Home with Selina

Selina welcomed Maddie into her home and set up a nesting box for her.
So dedicated to supporting Maddie, Selina chose to stay awake, lying beside the pup to reassure her of her presence.
Maddie felt cherished and protected, comforted by her rescuer’s unwavering support.
For Selina, assisting Maddie through the birth of her puppies turned out to be a truly magical experience. It was entirely new for her, and Maddie had opened her heart without reservation.
“I am in awe of how much she allowed me into her world. The depth of trust she showed throughout this beautiful journey of giving birth was astonishing. The love, quiet moments, and wisdom were simply mesmerizing. I love you so much, precious girl, and I am incredibly proud of you,” Selina shared on Instagram.
Maddie joyfully welcomed her newborns, showering them with her endless affection.

The puppies thrived alongside their mother, relishing the warmth of her unconditional love.
As time progressed, the adorable little pups grew healthier and stronger.
Maddie felt a deep sense of gratitude toward her rescuer for ensuring her safety and caring for her little ones.

With newfound strength, the little furballs were ready to explore their future.
Two of the puppies found forever homes, while Maddie and her remaining puppy continue their search for the perfect family.
It is my hope that these charming pups will soon capture the hearts of loving families that will welcome them home.
