00:00Right after she gave birth, she immediately became very protective of the puppies.
00:08My husband, she did lunge at him and almost bite him.
00:12I was like, what are we going to do with her?
00:16We hadn't seen a dog going from being completely submissive and friendly
00:20to acting almost feral.
00:22She did not want anyone near the puppies or near her.
00:26It is 5.30 in the morning.
00:29Two degrees outside, but we had to take this pregnant girl in.
00:34She was definitely nervous.
00:36She was shut down.
00:37She was found wandering down the side of the road.
00:40She's so sweet.
00:41She warmed up to me really fast.
00:44She wanted to be near people.
00:48The puppies do need to be handled by people,
00:50and we want to give them the best chance to grow up.
00:52So we do separate them if absolutely necessary.
00:56So we're like, take all these puppies to be fostered,
00:58where they can be bottle fed and properly monitored.
01:00Let her keep the really healthy one,
01:02because I wanted her to nurture those instincts.
01:05It was a slow process with a lot of little steps.
01:11Every day, I would just inch a little closer to the puppy.
01:14Let me touch this puppy.
01:16Can I touch it?
01:19I just want to give him the pet.
01:20One day, I just put my hand out, and I was like,
01:22please, please, please, like, don't bite me.
01:24And she let me do it.
01:25And I was like, oh, thank God.
01:28Good job.
01:28Where's my baby?
01:32Where's mom?
01:32She doesn't even care anymore.
01:34And then after two weeks, I mean,
01:35she honestly couldn't care less about the puppy.
01:38She wanted attention from me.
01:41Your baby's there.
01:43She doesn't care anymore.
01:44It didn't happen overnight.
01:46It was kind of these little victories.
01:48I'm glad, like, we didn't give up on her.
01:49And she landed in a place where she had that time and space
01:52to come around.
01:53They all got adopted.
01:55And then she got adopted a lot faster
01:57than I thought she would.
01:58And her family adored her.
