About Stella

Stella is around a year old and full of that fun, bouncy energy you get with a young Lab/Beagle mix. She’s medium-sized and already crate trained, so she can hang out in her own space when needed. Stella is all about attention—she’s affectionate, seeks out her people, and gets so excited meeting someone new that she might jump up to say hello. For that reason, she’s a better fit for a home with older kids who can handle her enthusiastic greetings. If you want a dog who loves to play, Stella checks the box: she’s crazy about fetch, tug-of-war, and any game that gets her moving. She needs regular exercise and mental stimulation, or she’ll start looking for trouble (like chewing things she shouldn’t). She does well with other dogs and would likely enjoy a canine buddy, but she hasn’t been around cats. Stella is spayed, up to date on her vaccinations, and microchipped. She’s crate trained and ready for an active home that will keep her busy, guide her as she learns, and appreciate her loving spirit. She’ll come with her kennel and favorite toys to help her settle in. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
