Ella was a rescue dog with Bella's Bully Buddies See page here! and had a wonderful foster mom named Lori who took great care of her. Chloe's former trainer and my good friend Matt Fazzino (fabulous dog trainer) had mentioned Bellas to me before. While visiting Matt at his house, he had a training session with a dog formerly named {Snow-White} and I COMPLETELY fell in love! I couldn't help it, I mean just look at Ellas pictures. I knew I had to have her.
I told Matt and he set the ball rolling for me. I filled out applications, I found out what I needed to do, and Monday the 14th she officially became mine. Bellas is a wonderful organization, they do thorough background checks and reference checks on people before they allow them to take the pets home. And that's just what I did!
Night 1. The ride home went great, my mom found her way to the backseat because she insisted that the dog was scared and needed her comfort (she wants to steal my dog I tell you). We dropped my mom off and proceeded home. Ella was terrified of the mountain of stairs in my house, but we had to go upstairs to bed...so I carried my new 50 pound puppy all the way up, and it wasn't bad at all! I needed to get back to Crossfit anyway ;). I'm telling you this dog is a TOTAL ANGEL. She won't go anywhere without looking to me first and she shys away from doing anything before she sees that it's ok. We got in the bed and she cried a bit not understanding where she was, but I quickly soothed her and let her know it was ok. She fell asleep great and we slept until 530 am when I just couldn't stand it anymore! So now here we sit (she's very leery of the coffee machine) and she is just wondering around exploring. I can't wait for day 1!!!
Seriously so much gratitude to Lori and Matt. You are both wonderful people. Thank you.
-Sarah and Ella
