My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Estrella is an owner surrender looking for a new home.



Hi! My name is Estrella! I am a beautiful 9-year-old fawn girl that is an owner surrender due to my owner having a baby and unable to keep me. I am described as friendly, smart, protective, affectionate, quiet, and obedient! I can be picky with my dog friends. I get along great with a younger male dog that I live with and have gotten along with other younger male dogs that I hve met in the past. I'm not a fan of other female dogs or dogs that we pass by when on leash. I have lived with a cat but the cat was kept separate due to unsure of my response to him. I have seen the cat through the gates and windows, and I just watch him and haven't shown negative behavior but a proper introduction would be recommended. There are no kids in my current home, but I have had exposure to my owner's young nephew and have done well. I can be a bit strong but I love giving cuddles and kisses! I am a people person and always ready for a human friend, except when walking at night and I am very alert when I see someone off in the shadows until they pass along. I am house trained, crate trained, working on leash training, and at night I sleep with the other dog in my home in a large in-home pen. If the humans are away and I am left alone, I am fine as long as I am in my pen/crate. If left out in the house I will scratch at doors and whimper and am more peaceful in the pen with my goodies and bed. I can be stingy with my food and will block the other dog in the home from it if he gets too close. When outside I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. I don't like continuous rough housing with the other dog in the home but love snuggling, naps, soft and cozy places to lay, walks, bath time, baby talk, peace and quiet, and people! My owner says I am a "remarkable lady" given all I went through before my current home. If you think I would make a great addition to your home, contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!
