🌟 Meet Estrella, lovingly nicknamed Stella! This sweet, gentle girl at just 2 years old is ready to embark on a beautiful journey with a family of her own! Hailing from Puerto Rico and currently in foster care in Virginia Beach, this resilient soul has a heart full of love waiting to be shared. 🦮 Weighing in at 45 lbs, Estrella is spayed and has had her 4DX tests come back negative—she’s on monthly preventatives and is fighting fit! She’s the kind of girl who would thrive with a furry buddy, as she adores dogs and even gets along splendidly with cats! 🐱 But don’t be fooled; while she may be a little shy at first—especially around the menfolk—give her some patience and consistency, and this precious pup will warm up to you beautifully. 🥰 Treats are her love language, and she’s eager to learn—how delightful is that? 💔 Estrella’s journey started on a sad note, left tied to the gate of her rescue as a puppy. Still, she’s come so far! With nearly two years in a Puerto Rican rescue, she recently completed an incredible two-month confidence-building training program. And guess what? Her new foster or adopter will receive all those golden insights to keep her progress flowing! Just imagine the bond that awaits! Life with Estrella in her foster home has revealed her affectionate side once she feels safe. She loves the company of other dogs and is quite the calm buddy during storms and fireworks—major bonus points! 🎉 Although she’s still a little curious and can be mischievous when not crated, she’s working hard on her leash skills outside the yard. A harness and slip collar are her go-to for strolls until her confidence blossoms. Estrella isn’t just a ‘just anyone’ dog; she seeks a loving, patient adopter ready to let her find her own pace. For the right kind-hearted soul, she will offer quiet devotion and create a bond so deep that words can hardly describe it. So, if your furry friend is looking for their perfect partner and you’re prepared to give this island beauty the time and space she deserves, reach out!✨ Don’t miss out on the opportunity to foster unconditional love—*apply through the Buddy App* today!
