Chihuahua mix Ella may be six years old, but all she seems to want is to be held like a baby in the arms of someone who loves her.

A tiny little lady weighing in at just four pounds, Ella is never happier than when she is being carried around Shelter Hope Pet Shop Santa Clarita by volunteers.
“She loves to be held,” said Thomas Llewellyn, a Shelter Hope volunteer. “She likes to be the center of attention most of the time. She only weighs a couple pounds, so if you can hold her all day, you probably would.”

Ella was found as a stray in Thousand Oaks, and though it was clear she had recently become a mother, her puppies were nowhere to be found.
After spending some time at the Shelter Hope Pet Shop located in Thousand Oaks, Ella came to the Santa Clarita location about two weeks ago, and she quickly became a volunteer favorite.
“She’s very affectionate, and also calm,” Llewellyn said. “She just likes everybody.”
Ella seems to get along well with other dogs, cats, children and adults alike, and is waiting for her forever family to take her home.
“Ella is a really wonderful dog, and she is only 6 years old,” Llewellyn said. “She’s still got a lot of years ahead of her, and she would appreciate anybody that would like to adopt her.”

About the KHTS Adopt a Pet Series
Once a month, the KHTS Adopt a Pet series features an adoptable animal from the Santa Clarita Valley in need of a home. The KHTS Features team travels to different rescues and shelters in Santa Clarita to meet the pets and tell their stories in hopes of helping them get adopted. First launched in August 2016, the series has partnered with seven local rescues, as well as the Castaic Animal Shelter, to showcase more than 100 dogs, cats and bunnies, and has seen 100 — and counting — adoptions so far. The series was created by KHTS Writer and Editor Melissa Lampert-Abramovitch, who has more than 12 years of experience in the animal rescue world.
