00:00 The only thing she knew her entire life was living in a cage.
00:04 Ella was rescued from a lab.
00:07 She was so scared, she was shaking.
00:12 She did not move for five days unless I just brought her outside.
00:19 Ella, we gotta go potty.
00:21 Good girl. It's okay.
00:24 I would have to carry her back in because she was so deathly scared of the wind.
00:28 She sat in the corner of my couch for days.
00:31 Ella, is that you, man?
00:35 Slowly but surely, she started coming out of her shell, pecking on the buttons on the back of my couch, trying to rip them off.
00:43 Oh my god.
00:48 And then she just jumped on it back. Like, randomly.
00:50 Oh my god. What are you doing?
00:55 Ella, is that a tail wag? Oh my gosh, you got the first tail wag!
01:00 Those little moments started to gradually become bigger moments.
01:03 She didn't know what a ball was, so it was so wild to her what it was doing and how it was rolling.
01:08 I wanted to see what it would be like to give her an oversized tennis ball.

01:37 And I was like, "Oh, we have a praying puppy now."
01:40 She saw herself in the mirror and started barking at herself.
01:46 It's okay.
01:47 She was just terrified of life.
01:53 And now, four weeks later, she is a happy-go-lucky goofball.
02:00 I can't do it.
02:03 The transition is night and day, and as a foster parent, it's so rewarding.
02:08 Ella heading to her forever home.
02:13 Getting all harnessed up.
02:15 Almost.
02:16 She's going to her new little house.
02:18 I just dropped off Ella to her new family, and they seem amazing.
02:22 And I'm super excited for her new life.
02:25 I'm so happy that she found her forever home.
02:31 She, for the first time, got to experience what it's like to be in a loving family.
