Lori, a kind soul, stepped forward to take in a Beagle named Ella. Ella’s entire life existed inside a cage at an animal testing facility. But her new foster mom was going to do everything she could to change that. Ella deserved better– all animals do! It was time to give the innocent pup a life full of love and all the things doggos deserve.

Ella was scared of the world, which is of course, understandable. She was too petrified to move on her own and Lori had to carry her around from one spot to another. She was especially afraid of things that caught her off guard. Lori explains in the video, “She was deathly afraid of the wind.”

But thanks to feeling safe and a determined foster mom, Ella came out of her shell. It took time but once the pup discovered all that life has to offer, all bets were off! Ella discovered the sewn-in buttons on Lori’s couch and that’s when her playful nature emerged. Ella sees an enormous tennis ball that’s hers to play with and she can’t contain herself! Ella finally sees the world as a safe, amazing place. Thank you to all the generous rescuers and fosters. Because of you, dogs like Ella can thrive.
