About Stella

Meet Stella! This sweet, lazy, and goofy girl is ready to find her forever home. At 6 years old, Stella is a Plott Hound with adorable floppy ears. She thrives in a calm environment and will do best in a quiet home with minimal foot traffic. Squeaky toys are her favorite, though she tends to be protective of them and prefers to play solo. Older children who understand dog behavior will be a great match for her. When she’s not trailing after her people or out for a walk, you can find Stella snoozing in her favorite cozy spot. She has also shown a friendly side with other dogs and even cats, although she'll need a few days to adjust to new furry roommates. Car rides are another joy for Stella, especially when she can stick her head out the window as the perfect copilot. She may take her time settling into a new routine, but once comfortable, you'll discover an affectionate and occasionally energetic companion. If you're interested in meeting sweet Stella, stop by the Rockingham-Harrisonburg SPCA today!
