Rescue Dog Was So Scared, She Couldn’t Leave Crate—Now She’s Unrecognizable
A rescue dog too afraid to leave her kennel finally turned a corner with her foster family.
When TikTok user @kierstenlynnb first rescued a white pit bull named Snow, the dog refused to leave her kennel. Kiersten, the foster mom, shared in the first part of her June 2 video Snow’s reluctance to receive any attention. Snow cowered in the back, avoiding eye contact when Kiersten tried reaching her hand out.
Snow’s nervousness is understandable, after all, as she was abandoned and tied to a pole in Houston, Texas, Kiersten told Newsweek via TikTok. Kiersten received a call about Snow and went to rescue her. From there, she welcomed her into her home with open arms and patience, as Snow learned to trust again.
Snow went from not wanting to leave the safety of her crate to understanding she’s capable of being loved. Kiersten said it took about three to four weeks for Snow to finally come out of her kennel. Her new spot: the bed.
The second part of the clip shows Snow happily lounging in the foster mom’s bed. Her tail kept wagging. She went from being afraid of leaving the kennel to being afraid of leaving the comfort of the bed, a night-and-day transformation.
The caption on the video reads: “Round of applause for Snows transformation.”

Snow is one of the many rescue dogs Kiersten works with. She runs an independent rescue organization, where Snow is available for adoption.
“It’s so rewarding,” she said. “The transformations are my favorite.”
Viewer Reactions
With over 92,500 views as of Friday, TikTok viewers felt relieved to know that this dog is no longer suffering, and that she’s relearning what it means to be loved. People flooded the comment section with their praise for saving her.
“How can anyone hurt something so beautiful? Thank you for giving her a loving home,” wrote one user, while another echoed: “…thank you for giving her the chance to know how she should be treated.”
A third person commented: “The 1st video is hurtful. She’s avoiding eye contact and looks nervous. Thank you so much for showing her what love and caring hands are.”
Someone else said: “She’s like, ‘Please don’t take me back to that bad, scary place. Sweet girl. Thank you for saving her.”
