Olivia is scared of EVERYTHING. And I mean everything.... humans, pups, cars, loud noises, the wind... I hate the human who did this to her.
She been bred so many times that her poor tits hang halfway to the floor. Fucking irresponsible breeders. Makes me so angry.
We got outside, and of course she does her signature move, the "pancake". She does this whenever anything scary happens. I'm going to be working with her until she gets adopted, will post updates as she gets better <3

When I got my boy from the shelter he was afraid of everything. Now he's only afraid of a bath. Good thing I like dog smell.

Same here. Our girl was terrified of everything. Now she's so relaxed. You can do it OP!

So sad

My sister adopted a dog who had lived starved in a kennel for all of her 1.5 years and was terrified of EVERYTHING. A year later she (1/2)

has gained 30lbs, sleeps on her back and carries around her favorite toys. She has learned to trust people and knows she is so loved (2/2)

Hello Olivia! Please give her a gentle, non scary boop from us!
Vronnyka
Those eyes are filled with such sadness. I would gladly punch out whoever made her so fearful.
zma123456
Wow you can see the pain right in her eyes. People are awful.
willowed
Poor baby. What is wrong with people?
PanzaeronQ
Greed, unfortunately some people will just keep a dog so they can make money by breeding them relentlessly, it's a sad reality.

OMG I LOVE HER!!! God, I wish our house wasn't so small and that we could have more dogs. @OP, can you lightly pat her on the head for me???
mikes5673
In that last photo the worried frown she wears in the first three appears to be gone. Does she like being outside? Good luck with her.
Tatooine92
UPDATES PLEASE. Her sad eyes are destroying what's left of my soul. :(
babeya
She has such a smoochable face!
chamor
Someone adopt this dog pls. Bring back her smile. This is heartbreaking :(
TinySatanHelper
Agreed
thelonepig
I have a cat like this, scared of the wind too. Never raise my voice to her. We love each other but she's still timid around me sometimes.
BootsCatsBeeeeeeez
Yeah, look at her sad little eyes. I NEED a pic of her with that expression of hers changed to that love/trust look dogs get. Update pls?!
paulashley
Hey @OP! Is this your job or are you a volunteer? What kind of training is required to do this kind of rehab work? Can you make a post?
ad0ptdontshop
I'm a volunteer, but I might as well be an employee lol. I assist the trainer most of the time, so a lot of my knowledge comes from her 1/2
ad0ptdontshop
but dogs like this need a LOT of love & encouragement, along with plenty of exposure to the things that make them nervous. patience is key

Can you share the shelter info? Red insists I help her.
TheSadCafe
Red looks sassy! Happy pup :)
Mentok
Took a year of love! He's still scared of a lot of things, but so much more confident and happy than before. Not as bad as Olivia, poor pup
TheSadCafe
Aww that's good! Our girl Lola used to be terrified of everything. Now she's just terrified of several things! Progress :)

'Tits'? Really? Aren't they teats?
littlemorte
Autocorrect kept changing it... So I was like fine! Tits
TheLastZombieCat
Is there something that you can have them wear to help/cover that?
littlemorte
No... They will slowly come up but not enough for people to not ask about her having puppies recently. You can kind of see them in the pic
TheLastZombieCat
I guess you could get her doggy sweaters
littlemorte
She gets those for when she is cold.But those only cover the chest, the belly area where they are long is actually uncovered.
codpeace
And yet still so majestic!
littlemorte
Which is probably why she was a puppy mill breeder :/ her nails were so long... Her knee pops out of place. But she is a love bug
littlemorte
Olivia is lucky that she is getting help. I hope @OP can help her out with TLC. I sing to my dog to sleep sometimes when she has nightmares
codpeace
Aw now that is sweet :)

And I'm from Zanesville, OH, where the guy killed himself and let all the exotic animals out, and they all were killed. Guess I'm bad luck.

Damn, I am not too far away but I already have two rescues and I am afraid she wouldn't do well in a house of 3 dogs if she is that scared.
