STELLA – that’s my name! Call me and I’ll come running to plant one powerful, slobbery smooch right across your kisser! My enthusiasm is what got me in this situation. I guess babies & little tikes just can’t stand up to me! My birth family spoiled me rotten! But when a human baby came alone I didn’t get the attention I needed and my mom and dad made the loving, tough, decision to give me up so I can pursue a life of 24/7 happiness!
“Curb your enthusiasm.” That’s not a phrase I understand! I’m just a kid myself – just 2 years of pure puppy love. I am healthy, spayed & microchipped and have lived the good life! I need to have a family that shares my energy level. I’m thinking a level 2 puppy class or an agility class could be fun! I would probably graduate top in my class because I am pretty darn smart! I am a great retriever and love a good game of tug-o-war!
My “Pros” list is stellar (maybe that’s how my name was chosen!). I’m completely house broken. I even have a bell I ring to let my foster mom know that I need to use the ladies room! I am quiet in my crate (with my peanut butter Kong) I sit like an angel when my foster mom prepares my meals. I even wait for her to give me the “go ahead” before I dig in!
As far as being canine social, I’m what you call a ‘butterfly’. I want to be everyone’s friend and will often let out a little submissive pee just to let them know I’m not interested in being top dog.

Because I am young, I need someone who will be around for me. My original owners realized that this is very important for me; after all, it’s why I’m here. A long work schedule and I just won’t work well together. I would really enjoy a canine brother or sister too; preferably someone who likes a good romp like me. As far as cats go, I don’t see what the big deal is. I’m a little curious but my rope or my toys are much more fascinating. I’m more athletic than I am couch potato but I will curl up and watch a movie at night! I would love a yard so I can run around and shake out my sillies! Stairs? Bring ‘em on! I could be an Olympic stair climber. I even try to take them 2 at a time when I’m coming in from the cold! Oh, and hardwood floors – have you ever heard of those? I hadn’t until I came into my foster home. I am afraid of them so my foster mom put down carpet runners. I’m getting better but when I find myself on them, I try to only walk backward – Hey, whatever works! I can’t live in a house with kids that I might knock down. I love them but just can’t control my excitement. Kids 12 and over would be awesome.
Got to go! Thanks for visiting me!
Love,
Sweet, Silly, Stella!
