My name is Stella!

Meet Stella!

Stella is a sweet, affectionate dog who absolutely loves socializing with people. She wants to be part of everything her humans do and will happily show her appreciation with her signature nose-bump of gratitude. She can get very excited when meeting new people & dogs, so slow introductions help her put her best paw forward.

Inside the home, Stella is calm, chill, and a wonderful companion. She's happy to snuggle with you on the couch, chew on her toys or treats, or work on a treat puzzle. She's not much of a barker, but she will let you know if an unfamiliar visitor arrives.

Stella is a smart girl who already knows sit, lay down, and stay, and she's currently working on improving her recall. She loves car rides, daily walks, and especially long hikes in the woods. Stella has plenty of energy outdoors and would really benefit from a fenced yard where she can run, play, and burn off that enthusiasm. She thrives with daily exercise and mental stimulation.

Stella wants to be included in everything, but her excitement and energy can sometimes be a bit much for very small toddlers, so she may do best in a home with older children or adults. She also appears to have a strong prey drive, so a home without cats would be best for her safety and theirs.

She is in an awesome foster home awaiting adoption and this what they noticed with Stella girl:

-loves socializing with people and dogs. Wants to say hi to everyone.
-does not bark much. I think I've only heard her bark twice in the past week.
-loves playing tug a war.
-loves car rides.
-likes routine.
-she would benefit from living somewhere with a fenced yard where she can run and burn some of her energy.
