Story
Location: Stillwater, MN
Meet Estelle, a.k.a. Stella!
Stella is a beautiful, loving girl with a big heart and an even bigger love for her people. She absolutely adores humans and wants to be right by their side as much as possible. Because of this, she can become anxious when left alone and will do best in a home where her people are around often and can help her build confidence gradually. She does not do well in a kennel.
Stella is also good with other dogs. She did have one incident where she nipped at the resident dog while the dog was playing tug with the humans, which appeared to be protective behavior toward her people.
Stella is very interested in cats and other small animals, but her strong prey drive means she would likely do best in a home without cats or other small pets. On walks, she can pull with determination when she spots bunnies or other small animals!
This girl is smart, curious, and knows commands like “leave it” and “no.” She is also highly motivated by food—which can be both helpful for training and, occasionally, a little mischievous! Stella has been known to go counter surfing, investigate the garbage, and even explore the pantry. In her defense, the pantry door was conveniently cracked open and a bag of fresh hamburger buns was sitting right there. How could she possibly resist?
Stella is a gorgeous, affectionate girl who has so much love to give. She will need a patient, understanding home that can give her time to settle in, help her feel secure, and continue working with her on her anxiety and manners. Once she feels comfortable, Stella is sure to be a loyal and loving companion who wants nothing more than to be close to her people.
If you're looking for a beautiful, affectionate, smart, and slightly food-obsessed best friend, Stella may be your girl!

The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).
Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, heartworm test (dogs over 9 months), FIV/FeLV test (cats - one in the litter), dewormed, and microchip implant (including registration).
Rescue Network is strictly foster based which means all adoptable animals are in a home and there cannot be a meet until an application is submitted and approved. We have no way of knowing the breeds in the animals. All breeds listed are best guess.
