About Stella

Stella and her siblings found safety in Terrell, TX before landing in foster care. More reserved than her sisters, Stella tends to hang back, carefully watching from a cozy perch until she decides someone is worth her trust. Get her past her initial shyness, and she becomes incredibly sweet and loyal—a true best buddy once she has relaxed. Some of her favorite pastimes include gazing out the window and keeping tabs on her environment. She hasn’t had direct exposure to dogs or children yet, so she does best in a patient home where people let her go at her own pace as she builds confidence. Stella's new adopter needs to understand that patience is key; she takes time to adjust but rewards it richly. Born October 13, 2025 (which makes her a Libra—no surprise she likes observing the world from a distance), Stella is spayed, microchipped, current on vaccines, and fully treated for fleas and worms. She’s available for adoption in the DFW area. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
