Two little lab mix sisters spent the first weeks of their young lives hidden deep in the woods of a deer lease, surviving on nothing more than scattered deer corn and sheer will. No soft bed, no warm hands—just each other and the sounds of the forest to remind them they were alone.
That all changed the day a kind man spotted them—thin, timid, and trembling with exhaustion. He could have walked away, but heroes never do. Instead, he returned day after day, bringing food and gentle words, showing the frightened girls that not all humans turn their backs. When they were finally brave enough, he safely trapped them and got them to LaMa Animal Rescue… and then went one step further. Out of pure compassion, he paid for all of their vetting to give them the healthy start they deserved.
We’ve named the sisters Victoria and Valerie, two fittingly strong names for two incredibly brave pups. Here at LaMa, they’re learning that hands can give comfort, voices can be kind, and people can be trusted. Each day they come out of their shells a little more, letting their sweet personalities shine through.
Now, these gentle girls just need one last thing: a family to love them. A safe home where their soft, soulful eyes can finally relax, knowing they’ll never be abandoned again.
If you’ve been searching for a pair of hearts to melt your own, Victoria and Valerie are waiting. Please check all our shelter dogs dreaming of a second chance on Petfinder, or reach out directly to LaMa Animal Rescue.
