On May 9, she shared a Youtube video about Tina, a senior dog who had spent the first 12 years of her life as a guard dog, barking through a fence to scare off anyone who approached her home.Sadly, she ended up catching mange, and found herself on the other side of the fence that she had faithfully guarded all her life. Her owners decided to just leave her rather than entrusting her to a shelter.

After days turned into weeks living on the street, her state worsened, and Tina was exhausted, starving and incapable of sleeping because of the itchiness of her skin.It was at this moment that Valia decided to intervene. She brought the dog to a Greek rescue calledSCARS, and Tina has since been able to regain her strength and her health has greatly improved thanks to the treatments she has received.

While her age is obvious, Tina is an extremely affectionate and sweet dog, who loves to cuddle and nap next to her friends.During her walks, she regularly approaches strangers to ask for treats or caresses, despite her shaky legs and lack of energy. She is looking for a family who can offer her all the love and affection she needs during the last years of her life.
