 Meet Stella – A Special Girl Looking for a Special Home

 STOP!!! please make sure you read about Stella and her special needs bfore applying.

When Stella arrived at PRBJ, she was in urgent need of medical care. Thanks to the dedicated team at Healthy Pets and the compassionate hands of Dr. Pinzon, Stella began her journey to healing. With a carefully tailored treatment plan — including daily allergy medications, steroids, antibiotics, and laser therapy — Stella’s skin and ear conditions began to improve. But that was just the beginning.

A Fighter with a Gentle Heart

Stella was also diagnosed with Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) — a condition that affects the spine and is common in French Bulldogs. It occurs when the discs between the vertebrae bulge or herniate, causing pain and mobility issues. Stella has trouble controling her hind legs at times and is also has incontinence due to this condition.   To help manage this, Stella receives ongoing chiropractic care and physical therapy with Dr. Dana at The Animal Cracker.

Despite all she’s been through, Stella remains incredibly sweet and loving. She enjoys being near her people, gets along well with other dogs, and has a gentle nature that makes her a joy to be around.

What Stella Needs

Stella is looking for a calm, understanding home — one that’s prepared to meet her special needs with love and diligence.

Her ideal home includes:

  • No small children (due to her medical condition and need for a calm environment)
  • Limited physical activity — no jumping off furniture or rough play
  • Ongoing care for her skin, ears, and IVDD (medications, checkups, and therapy)
  • Patience with potty accidents — her condition can make house training a challenge
  • no stairs
  • someone that works from home or gone very limited amount of time due to her incontinence
  • no apartment living or shared walls - she is very vocal

 Why Adopt Stella?

 Because Stella is more than her medical needs. She’s resilient, affectionate, and full of heart. She deserves a second chance with someone who sees her not just as a dog with a condition, but as a loving companion with so much to give.

If you’re experienced with special-needs dogs or are ready to provide the extra care Stella needs, you’ll be rewarded with unwavering love and loyalty.

Could you be the one to give Stella the safe, supportive home she’s been waiting for?

Apply today to meet this brave and beautiful girl.

More about this rescue

We are a private, non-profit rescue located in Sanford, Florida, dedicated to the rescue cats and dogs. Many of them come to us with medical needs. They are doctored to the best of our ability and resources.

Our most urgent goal is to rescue animals that are abandoned or in distress, update their vaccines, and find good new homes for them. But we attempt to be more proactive than that. It is our heartfelt desire to prevent any animal from the need to be "rescued." With that vision in mind, we take a three-prong approach through the education of pet owners and the general public about:
- proper care of animals, including correct diet of good quality food, fresh clean water, daily exercise, and lots of love
- spaying and neutering companion animals (dogs and cats) in order to prevent euthanasia and over-population
- low-cost spay/neuter clinics and wellness centers in their local community
