Story
Meet Stella: This gorgeous girl is the Mom to the Gilmore Girls (Emily, Lorelai and Rory) - she was found by her foster family in an abandoned trailer after just having given birth to 7 puppies, they were about 10 days old at that time.
Stella was a dedicated mother for the first few months, until her pups grew independent personalities and were starting to push boundaries, then she was done mothering them. Stella now enjoys solo yard time and people attention, barking at other dogs - even her daughters at times - and going on walks.
Stella is a long haired German Shepherd/something mix, about 2 yrs old and displays many typical shepherd qualities, like desire to please her people, above average smarts, food motivation (this girl is willing to do sketchy stuff for food..), and some dog reactivity. We do not know her background, other than she was not medically taken care of and came to us heartworm positive. She was treated for heartworms and is now waiting for all remnants of the worms and medication to clear her system before her spay, which should be early July.
Stella is looking for a home preferably where she can be the only dog (she maybe ok with a calm, same size or bigger male companion), where she can get the personal attention and affection she craves and with a handler that is willing and able to spend some time teaching her new tricks and manners, she is eager to learn. We have not observed her around kids, she be ok with older kids.
***Please note: All dogs are fostered in private homes of volunteers, so to meet a dog please fill out an Adoption Application so we may setup a private meetup with the dog or coordinate for an Introduction at the next general Adoption Meet and Greet, as not all dogs come to all Meet and Greets***
