Ella Enchanted captured the hearts of her family, thanks to a stunning photo they saw on Facebook. They traveled thousands of miles to meet and eventually take home this little 3 lb girl. Here is their story:
It started with a picture on Facebook. Ella Enchanted, a senior Chihuahua in need of a forever home. With huge ears, a hanging tongue, and eyes so bright and full of life, we couldn’t get her picture out of our heads. The only problem was this little angel was 3,000 miles away in California. Thanks to Ella’s awesome foster parents and the caring, dedicated people at Muttville (and trains, planes and automobiles!) Ella arrived at our home in early November. She left the sunny California weather and found herself right smack at the beginning of one of the coldest New Jersey winters on record. She has been a little trooper, braving the polar vortex and thundersnow! Ella has seen and felt snow on her little paws for the first time. Let’s just say, she is NOT a fan.
Ella not only has a new mommy and daddy, she also has an older Chihuahua brother named Chachi. The two have already become friends and sleep together every night. Ella is the boss and Chachi is okay with that, since he likes to be lazy in his old age.
Ella is a ball of energy and makes us laugh and smile every day. For a 4 pound dog she has a huge personality. It feels as though Ella has been with us for years. She is our little princess. We are so thankful to Muttville and her foster parents for bringing Ella into our lives. Our little family is now complete.
