This delightful girl needed a name that matches her funny personality and adorable hippo-like waddle. Ethel is approximately 6 years old and was discovered as a stray before being brought to Norfolk Animal Care Center.
When she arrived at the shelter, Ethel weighed around 19 lbs, but she’s already made amazing progress on her weight loss journey and has shed 5 lbs! She’s a determined and resilient girl. In addition to her weight loss achievements, Ethel has been spayed and is now eagerly awaiting her forever home.
