ELLA

Weight: 15lb
Type & Colour: Dachshund, Cream
My name is Ella. I am 3 ½ years old. My mom says I am a very good girl but sometimes I get into trouble for running off with grandma’s socks.
The Canadian Dachshund Rescue found me my forever home and I sometimes go to CDRO events to show everyone how important it is to find doggies like me a safe and happy home. People like my spotted ears and my cowlick that sticks up at the back of my head. I love almost everyone but sometimes I can be a little shy. My favourite things are playing with my toys, chasing butterflies, lying in the sunshine and cuddling in my blankets.
If you cheer me on, I will give you kisses.
