About Stella Sponsor me

Meet Stella! This lovely 10-year-old Miniature Schnauzer weighs in at 26 lbs.

Currently, Stella is blind and under medical care due to elevated liver values, but that doesn't diminish her spirited personality. Despite her challenges, Stella is house trained, gets along well with dogs, and has a friendly demeanor. As a senior, she's looking for a compassionate sponsor who can help her through this tough time. You can support her by donating to medical costs or checking out our Amazon Wishlist.
