About Stellie

Meet Stellie. She’s about 65 lbs of personality—full of sass, strong opinions, and a running commentary on your daily routine. Stellie is a White Shepherd/Husky mix who finished a board and train program and is finally ready for her new home. Want a talkative furry life coach? You’re looking at the right dog. Stellie has plenty to say: if meals are late, expect to hear about it. If you stop scratching her too soon, she’ll let you know. Had a bad day? She’ll chime in with her version of support—usually a full discussion with soulful, judgmental eye contact. She may act dramatic, but Stellie’s also affectionate and does well with structure. She’s crate and leash trained, clever, and expressive. While she hasn’t met cats, her new home should be cat-free. She hasn’t met other dogs since her training, and though she hasn’t lived with young children, older kids who know boundaries should do fine with her. Stellie’s past wasn’t easy. She was found as a stray and is thought to have lived with someone experiencing homelessness, but she hasn’t lost her spark—or her comedic timing. If you want a low-key, invisible companion, she’s not for you. If you’ll laugh along with her opinions about your snacks and bedtime, Stellie might be the best friend you need. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
