About Stella

At 12 years old, Stella doesn't require long hikes or endless games of fetch. She doesn't need a fast-paced lifestyle or a family that's always on the go. What she truly needs is someone willing to understand her unique needs. Stella is incontinent, so she’ll thrive with an understanding family who can help her outside every few hours. Her foster family has established a routine that works perfectly for her, and Stella has adapted beautifully. In return, she offers a sweet, gentle companionship. If Stella could describe her ideal day, it would involve sleeping in, soaking up some sun, cuddling with her foster family, enjoying a pup cup, and then calling it a day. She’s incredibly laid back, often snoozing, but still has a playful spirit. She enjoys brief play sessions with her foster dog siblings, loves getting scratches behind her ears, and finds joy in curling up next to her beloved humans. Stella gets along wonderfully with other dogs and even the resident cat. She's unfazed by car rides or baths. After a little sunbathing, she willingly heads back to her cozy bed to relax. At this age, Stella deserves a place to call home, where she won’t have to wonder about her future anymore. A soft landing, a loving family, and a forever home await her.
