About Stella

Stella is a four-year-old Pit Mix, named for the star-shaped marking on her chest. Despite tipping the scales at 75 pounds, she’s convinced your lap is the best seat in the house. Her calm, sweet temperament makes her a natural companion—she’s content lounging in the sun or curling up for a cuddle. Stella has a bright mind and enjoys showing off her tricks, including sit, spin, and play dead. She lights up when visitors arrive and always welcomes attention. Stella is accustomed to other dogs thanks to daycare and boarding, and currently lives alongside one, though she’d thrive as the only canine in her home. She needs a fenced-in yard to stretch her legs and play, and she isn’t at ease around young children. Stella would fit best with a patient, experienced owner ready to offer a loving, stable environment. She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and fully housetrained. Ready to fall in love?
