Shaking Beagle Rescued From Lab Becomes So Playful | The Dodo Foster Diaries 

I'd refuse to work in a profession or place that treats dogs like this. Insane to think it's almost 2023 and they're still testing on animals 😔

Glad Ella found her purpose to be a silly girl determined to save all humanity from giant tennis balls.

The fact that beagles are used in labs at all, is honestly beyond my imagination. Just look at how much joy there is in that little body.

I don't understand how people decided to use adorable, defenseless dogs for testing. But I'm so glad that Ella is now in a loving family. Seeing her go from being so scared to playful and figuring out how tennis balls work is heartwarming. ❤️

I seriously don't understand why people abuses such precious souls. Can't even call them humans. Thank you for rescuing Ella❤❤

Poor baby, who knows how many are still in lab cages:(

Half charming and adorable to watch her learn to play, half heartbreaking for what she was put through to be that dog. So so so very happy she gets to be forever loved!

We got a rescue beagle a couple months ago. He is super affectionate and loves his new life! The only issue we're having is potty training, since he was cruelly kept in a small cage his entire life. So if you do adopt one (especially a male), it helps to have hardwood floors 😊

Doing what shes Really here for!!!! PLEASE REMEMBER THIS GORGEOUS BABY WHEN SHOPPING FOR COSMETICS & CHRISTMAS PLEASE 🙏 ❤️

I was just thinking, it’s a sad world in many ways that we have to “save “animals. We shouldn’t have to live in a world where we have to do that. But it is what it is, and I am so grateful that this dog has found the perfect life that she always deserved.

dont think i could give them up, the house would be full :)

Beautiful expressions on Beagles faces. My neighbour recently rescued one. He's a corker.

such a good ending but the dog afraid of balls absolutely broke my heart:( poor dog has never been shown love beforehand.

Thank you very much for your kindness and your compassion.

I'm so sad to know that there's animals suffering at the hand of humans without compassion let alone a soul. I'm very very grateful for those who rescue animals from labs to evil of abuse. Thank you so much to all who help save and care for animals in distress and need. Blessings to all.

The oversized ball CRACKED ME UP!!!

She found her voice, she found her tail wag, she learned what balls are and most importantly what love is. Breaks my heart anyone could treat animals so poorly.

Glad she found a forever home. She needed a doggie companion. Best thing ever. ♥️🐕

This made me tear up remembering my beagle that passed last Friday. Thank you for saving her. Rest in peace, Percy.

It's heartbreaking to think of what she went through to make her so scared of everything in the beginning. Thank you to the rescue, fosters, and adopters!

It’s unthinkable what these beagles have been through. It’s wonderful that they were rescued, and seeing little videos of them in their new lives is so rewarding. Thank you all for rescuing, loving and giving of yourselves to bring innocent doggies loving homes.

We had the blessing of having a beagle for 12 years until we lost her to cancer. Loved seeing Ella join a family and with another beagle ❤️

Can I just say " God bless these caregivers." If I could leave my job and offer to join them, I'd do it in a minute.

Thank you for fostering. It must be so bittersweet to take them to their forever home.💔

I bet Ella's was one of the 4000 saved a few months ago from that horrendous breeding lab. She's a beautiful girl and found her forever happiness in her loving home. 🐶❤️

It was so nice to see Ella come out of her terrified shell with the loving help of her foster mom and so glad she got her forever home too.

I can’t, I just Can’t! How? How in the world does this still happen? How can ppl look in the mirror? Their beautiful souls. Far better then humans. I can’t type what I wish I could do! What I would do to such ppl.. ugh!! Bless all the fur babes ❤

God bless you for rescuing this baby.

I know because I have a beagle.They are sociable and have a very cheerful personality. I hope that her future life will be wonderful.

I love people like you madam, you are an animal angel. Glad this lil doggy got a chance to live a descent life, as some of these animals never make it out alive.

Dogs are the most forgiving animals,they never holds a grudge for too long,so loving,caring and amazing...we humans can learn from them,especially how not to have bad mind and hatred.

Man it's so f*@ked up what we do to animals in labs. You're a saint for rescuing this dog.

I truly admire these foster parents for both human and fur babies. You are the true heroes of this world.

She’s special. It’s intriguing how Ella was so quiet. I have a Beagle chow mix and he’s quiet too. He has some of her personality traits but he’s so stubborn and disengaged. Ugh. Nice that she found her new home and has a Beagle buddy to help her transition. Nice video! ❤🐕

Oh my gosh! That is so fantastic! I really wanted to adopt one of the 4000 rescued from that testing facility, but I haven't had any success finding any rescuers in Georgia that received any of the dogs. I am SO happy for Ella!

To Lori and Ella: You are angels of God. I wish all people were as kind. These horror with innocent animals has to stop! Thank you so, so much. I couldn't help myself.

You are such a wonderful caring person... thank you. and a thank you to her forever parent(s). Looks like a good dog companion too.

Her reaction to the ball is precious. "What is this big orb?! Why is it like- HOLY CRAP IT MOVES!!"

what a beautiful, sweet, silly girl. so glad she's in a great home.

So happy for Ella being rescued from that Lab and finding her Forever home 😊 💕 🙏

It was her second time discovering what it's like to be in a loving family. You were her first loving family. You gave her the conference and courage to blossom in her forever home. ❤

Sweet baby. Glad she's come out her shell, and able to live life.

You transformed her back to a true beagle! Most rescue stories are homeless, breeders. I feel stunned to find dogs are used in labs still. Thought that ended years ago. So sad & cruel. Unnecessary ☹️

What a transformation! (And I’m glad to see that the lab hasn’t cut her vocal cords. Ella has a lot to say!)

I’m glad to see that Bella is getting out of her shell! Thank you for taking good care of her~👍

Sweet baby girl!!!

I adopted one of these cuties in March (same company, different facility who was abusing them) and it's been a mix bag of joy and heartbreak watching her experience even the tiniest things. Shadows? Terrifying. The fan sitting in the corner of the room? Enemy, must bork. A squeaky ball? Damn good fun, but where does that noise keep coming from? It's heartbreaking b/c she's 2 and she's been robbed of these experiences. But on the flip side in fills me with absolute delight to know she CAN experience these things now, and does. I carried her on our daily walks for 3 months straight before she was brave enough to take a few steps, and even then it was little increments before she'd shut down. That's what these dogs require though - baby steps, and so so much patience. But absolutely worth it.

She's so sweet. That poor baby and all the others. It's not right testing on animals as advanced as we are now. Please give her so much love for all of the cruelty she has been through and give her lots of belly rubs from all of us that do care and fight to right this wrong. God bless you and that sweetheart she is safe now. Thank you so much. Enjoy the new life to its fullest. You deserve it.

A very sweet story! It's so gratifying to see a dog that has lived such a restricted and vacuous life begin to learn the joys of freedom and the comfort of being loved! Finally, Ella could be what she was meant to be: a family dog! Thanks for being her guide on that journey!

She was just too adorable and I’m so thankful you fostered her and got her ready for her forever home! She seems soooo happy! God bless you for what you do!😊

My mother rescued a dog, that the neighbors left tied to a tree day and night, no shelter, on a 5' chain. Then, one day, they just moved, and left her behind, and of course, she was pregnant. My mother took her in, got all TEN puppies adopted, and kept the mother. The poor dog had only ever been abused, but she was still SO sweet and gentle. Had no idea how to play, and every time we would try to play, or raise the toy to throw, she would cower. It was obvious she was abused. She only associated hands with pain. So, one day, I had the epiphany to try my feet. I started patting at the ground like a dog paws at the ground when they are playing. Making silly noises, praising her, and finally, one day she GOT IT. She started pawing back, and I did the "playful barking" noises at her, and you could see her start smiling and getting excited. I would drag her rope toy across the ground, not in the air, and the day she learned tug-of-war was SO AWESOME. It didn't take long to graduate to wrestling using our hands, and she finally understood that hands could mean joy, too. One of my most rewarding animal rehab experiences.

Aw, poor little thing. So heartwarming to see her 'bloom' into her full 'dogness'

You are awesome ! Thanks for saving her !

I would not want to meet the kind of person that is so cold hearted they could keep these sweet dogs in cages and torture them. Laws need to be passed to stop this kind of abuse to animals.

Many blessings ❤

Having raised beagles for over 20 years we are so happy you rescued that dog

Thank you for all you did for her. It is really good that she was adopted into a home with another dog who will be able to teach her how a dog is supposed to act...

Thank you so much for saving Ella. She's beyond adorable. What fosters do is so important, and everyone who watches this feels and knows that. Ella will bring joy to her family.

They dont deserve cages 🐾

Beagles are so gentle and docile. They lovechildren.

Great job rehabbing the lovely Ella. The things she must have seen. ❤️❤️

I think that it must be so difficult and heartbreaking to give an animal away to a new a family when you've been the Foster parent. Even though the new family will give that dog or cat so much love but knowing that you help that animal go to a new family is amazing and this lady and all the other people have done such terrific jobs of taking care of these animals and giving them love you're such good people on this planet and there's not enough of them.

Thankyou for bringing awareness to this pitiful cruelty

I pray every night for animals like this and any others to be rescued. How many more of these despicable and disgusting companies that raise any animals to be tortured are there ? I so wish the people who thought of, did, or had any other hand in these companies go through the same pain and agony these dogs were put through.

God bless you for rescuing her!! 🙏

You don't understand how much 'The Dodo' restores my faith in people. Thanks to all of you.

Kindness ... it's what our world desperately needs ...

This hurts so much to see. I have a beagle and she is nothing but the embodiment of love.

Living a wonderful life she deserves!!

Was he one of the beagles fauchi tortured?

may all lab animals come to know this joyful life.

if you’re seeing this comment I hope you have a blessed day

Diossssss Miooooooo 😭💔😭💔😭💔😭💔

I cried to see the transformation. The people that foster animals are way better humans than I am, or ever will be.

Poor puppy, humans tortured her.

I hate people. Shop cruelty free!

A real heart tugging story. Her happy ever after was very emotional to hear after all she'd been through. Thank you for giving us a small window to see her development and transformation to the beautiful confident girl she has become.

Wow, imagine an existence where, when you get freed, everything is mindblowing.

I love this channels videos but this one is truly wonderful! That poor little thing didn’t even know it was a dog. I also think beagles are one of the cutest dog breeds there is as well. Just don’t care for their bark lol……

Awe… I hate that companies will use animals for testing, worse when medical laboratory’s experiment on animal’s it is EVIL‼️ I wish laws would be passed to outlaw this evil cruelty on animal’s… if more people start speaking out against this, maybe we can Finally make this end.

Nice to see a happy ending

People who foster dogs are angels.

So sad that the only reason Medical Companies use Beagles is because they are the most trusting breed of dog and only want to make their owners happy.

Stop animal testing and remember that animal testing is still done for cosmetics and perfumes. Even vegan cosmetics/perfumes are not always free of animal testing. On PETA there is a list with cosmetics free of animal testing. Think about it before you give away cosmetics / perfumes especially at Christmas time. Animals are our friends. Everyone can do something.

Thanks Fosters and adopts these wonderful creatures of all kinds. All of you are heroes in the world.

When she was adopted that wasn’t her first loving home she had that with her foster mom she finally got a loving forever home ❤

NIH. Lead by dr Fauci. Not good.

You are going to Heaven, thank you for rescuing that precious Dog.

I'm so happy for Ella and thank you for being a wonderful person.

Thank for understanding her life it’s why she has a beautiful life now…. You did an awesome thing here young lady hats off!

It’s horrible to think that there are such cruel humans to do such bad things on animals😢 Thank you for helping it and God bless the dog,the foster parent and the owners

You're an angel for fostering her.

Animals deserve way better than humans treat them. The day people start to realize that, we will live in a much better world.

Lucky Ella got a forever home with a family that already had a Beagle as Beagle dogs thrive when in a " pack " with other Beagles.

Thank you for your loving fostering....so great-full....and that Ella is in her new wonderful home!💙

Nine dogs were FINALLY reduced from a Texas lab, all labrador retrievers. I hope they all find loving people to care for them like the one in the video.

You did a fantastic job , but now you know Ella is safe and loved

Girl you are and will always be her first loving family. You treated her like family from the beginning and taught her how to be a dog and what it is like to be loved. I know she is grateful for that.

How beautiful to see them live life to the full....just like they are ment too...awesome...thank you sooo much for rescuring her...God bless you. 🐾🐾💞💖😘🥰❣️✝️💯💝

Perfect adoption. She’s such a beautiful little dog. Shut all those labs down, so evil
