00:00I was told to be prepared when I saw her because she was in pretty rough shape.

00:07I was given the impression that this was a nine to ten week old puppy.

00:11She was just so sweet but I could tell she was in a lot of pain.

00:17She just had the sweetest eyes. It's almost like piercing into your soul when you're looking at her.

00:23I decided to co-foster Glow with my good friend Ronnie.

00:30Oh my goodness, it's so nice to meet you.

00:35The first time I met Glow was a handful of days after Emily took her in.

00:39Leave the flakes at Emily's house.

00:42One of our biggest goals with Glow when we took her in was to help her skin heal.

00:48She came to us crusty and bald and looking a little bit like a worm

00:52and we wanted to help her have the most amazing glow up ever.

00:56So that involved baths multiple times a week.

01:01Is it a little bit chilly?

01:05She just kind of accepted that okay these people are here to help me

01:09and she kind of just would look up at us occasionally

01:12almost like she was saying thank you for helping me. It was really sweet.

01:17Yeah, you're so cute.

01:19I took her to the vet for her initial wellness exam.

01:22This is an adult dog.

01:25She's got all her adult teeth.

01:27It was really surprising to hear that she wasn't a puppy because she looked just like one.

01:32When were you going to tell me that you weren't a puppy?

01:34When were you planning to tell me?

01:36And then when you start thinking about it more,

01:39it's a little more sad knowing that she may have been feeling sick

01:42or going through this longer than we expected.

01:44Having Glow be in two different home environments,

01:47I think wound up being a positive thing for her

01:49and really helping her adapt to any environment.

01:52What are you doing?

01:53What are you doing?

01:55Are you kidding me right now?

01:57What is going on?

02:00Big stretch, big stretch.

02:02She's beautiful as it is,

02:04but to see her be healthy and happy and no longer itchy anymore was really amazing.

02:15After about six weeks in our care,

02:17we knew it was time to start thinking about a future family for Glow.

02:22The couple we ended up selecting loves her so much

02:25and she's going to have the best life with them.

02:31One of the most rewarding things about fostering a dog with a skin condition

02:35is that their transformation is so physical.

02:37I think Glow was special because despite what was going on with her,

02:41she was still happy and fun from the get-go.

02:44She was just still this wiggly, happy little creature

02:47and kind of nothing could stop her from enjoying her life.
