✨ Meet the fabulous Stella! ✨ Stella is a medium-sized sweetheart, radiating a zest for life that is simply infectious! At about 3 years old and weighing 47 pounds, she is the perfect blend of adventurous companion and your loyal sidekick. 🌟 This darling girl was found as a stray on the tough streets of Cleveland, Texas — an area that's sadly known to be a dumping ground for many dogs. But guess what? Despite the hardships she’s faced, Stella's spirit is unyielded! Her dazzling smile and joyful attitude will capture your heart in an instant. 💖 Stella just LOVES the great outdoors! 🌳🏞️ Whether it's a brisk walk or simply soaking up the fresh air, every little adventure is like a party to her! But don’t think this vibrant gal doesn't know how to relax; when the sun starts to set, Stella prefers to snuggle up beside her people, cherishing those precious moments quietly. Oh, and did someone say foodie? 🍖 Stella takes her treats seriously — the fastest way to win her heart is definitely through her stomach! While she may not yet be a certified cuddler, she has her own sweet way of laying beside you and basking in your presence. Stella is friendly with other dogs too, and once introduced correctly, she can make a wonderful addition to a home with fellow furry companions. One of her absolute favorite activities? Belly rubs! 🙌 She absolutely adores them and isn’t shy about demanding some extra attention — she might even let out an adorable bark just for those extra belly-rubbing sessions! Now, here’s a little tidbit: Stella does have a small patch on her back where hair is missing as a result of a rare bacterial reaction from her heartworm injection treatment. But fear not! This has been completely treated, and she won’t need any follow-up care. It’s just a tiny cosmetic reminder of the battles she’s overcome. 💪 With her playful personality, affectionate nature, and radiant smile, Stella is a true gem! She is dearly loved by her fosters and is more than ready for her forever home. Shining bright like the star she is, Stella currently resides in Houston, Texas, but she can be transported to many locations across the country! 🏠✨ For just $600 in adoption fees, which includes her transport, you can make Stella part of your family!
