Stella is a 6-year-old hound mix who leans into her gentle side once she feels safe, revealing a soft coat and a devotion that runs deep. At about 85 lbs, she hasn’t gotten the memo that she isn’t lap-sized, and she brings an endearing stubbornness to curling up close. Stella has spent time with young children and another dog but does her best when she’s the single pet in a quiet, low-key home with no kids. Routine and predictability soothe her, so she gravitates to her crate when she needs a break. She’s crate trained, and her crate is her comfort zone. Stella’s happiest with a fenced yard where she can stretch and explore, and she’ll thrive under the care of someone patient and experienced. She’ll soak up affection from a dedicated owner who understands her boundaries and paces her introductions to new things. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
