Meet Stella, a 12-year-old female Beagle/Basset Hound mix who was a return to AFA when her family had to make the hard decision to move to care for sick family members and were unable to take her along. Stella is a sweet and gentle girl who is now looking for a loving home to spend her golden years. Don’t let her age fool you—Stella still has plenty of love to give! She is a friendly dog who is always happy to see people and greets everyone with a wagging tail and a hopeful look for a little extra attention. Stella truly enjoys being around people and would love a home where she can soak up all the pets, kind words, and cozy naps she deserves. Stella has lived with other dogs before and has done well with them, so she may enjoy having a canine companion in her new home. She has a calm, easygoing personality that makes her a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal and affectionate friend. Senior dogs like Stella have so much love to give and ask for so little in return—just a comfortable place to rest, some gentle walks, and someone to love. If you’re looking for a sweet, devoted companion who will happily spend her days by your side, Stella may be the perfect match for you. Come meet her and see if she’s the missing piece to your family. 🐾 Interested in adopting?
