About Estelle

However, she prefers to have someone around most of the time, as she does bark when left alone. Estelle thrives in a loving environment where she can curl up next to her person at night. Currently, she's in a foster home filled with kids and other pets, doing wonderfully. While she's not fully housetrained yet, she wears diapers to prevent any mishaps.
