About Stella

Stella has had a long road, bouncing between homes and left uncertain about who she can trust. She’s around 4 years old now and looks like a black mouth cur mix with a short apricot coat. After being used as a breeder and handed off by several families—sometimes for being too small or "too puppyish"—she’s understandably guarded, especially after a recent scare at her last home. Stella is spayed and current on vaccinations, and she’s reactive, needing slow, careful introductions to new people, dogs, and environments. She does get along with some calm, nanny-type dogs, but no cats or children should be in the home. She’s a total Velcro dog: loving, playful, energetic, and very sweet once she’s comfortable. Stella craves routine and stability and will make a devoted companion to someone willing to put in the time and patience. She’s partially potty trained and does best with treats and clear structure. Her adoptive home should be experienced with reactive or sensitive bully breeds and willing to meet her a couple of times before bringing her home. Stella deserves a family who will finally give her the stability and understanding she’s missed. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
