Ethel-Pending

**Adoption Pending**<p><br/><br/>**Posted 4/5/08<p><br/><br/>Hi, my name is Ethel and as you can see from my pictures, I am a graceful and beautiful chihuahua mix. I love to sun myself on the deck when the weather is warm, as you can see by one of my pictures!! My foster mom is not sure what I am mixed with but she says it doesn’t matter because I am the sweetest girl ever. I am approximately 11 years old and I am very agile and learned how to use the doggie steps to get up and down from the sofa in just a couple of hours, so I am also very smart. For a chihuahua 11 years old is middle-aged - I still have a few good years left and really want someone to share them with. A girl never likes to give her weight, but if I must, I am about 12 lbs of love. I should tell you that I am hard of hearing and don’t really hear much (except really loud noises), but I can see and smell just fine, you just pull out a bag of treats and I will be there – I love my treats!<p><br/><br/>I guess I should tell you my story. One day I had a home and a family and then the next thing I knew, my family packed up and moved away and left me alone and abandoned in an apartment with nothing, not even a bowl of water. Luckily, I was rescued by people at the apartment who took me to the shelter. I didn’t like being at the shelter because there was talk about me being too old to find a home and being put to sleep and then just when I was about to give up all hope, a nice lady from rescue came and saved my life and that is how I ended up with my foster mom. I get along very well with the other dogs here, but they are all small like me and don’t bother me too much, except when they try to steal my chewies. <p><br/><br/>I am up to date on my vaccines and have been spayed. I am housebroken even though I have had a couple accidents in my crate. I just can’t hold it more than eight hours and when my foster mom is at work, sometimes I just have to go, but that is okay, she just changes the piddle pad. When she is home, she lets me go out to potty regularly and I haven’t had one single accident in the house. I love my treats and chewies. I love to cuddle up on the sofa with my foster mom - I could sit next to her on the sofa all day if she would let me, but she is always up and about doing stuff and I like to be with her so I follow her around the house wherever she goes. I guess I am just scared of being abandoned again!<p><br/><br/>So, if you think you could make some room in your heart and home for me, please go to www.silverlake.petfinder.com and fill out an application and email it to slarl@yahoo.com. A SENIOR DISCOUNT ADOPTION FEE WILL APPLY FOR ETHEL. THIS CAN BE DISCUSSED DURING THE APPROVAL PROCESS.
