Weighing about 55 pounds, this medium-sized girl delights in long walks, adventurous hikes, and energetic games of tug-of-war. After a fulfilling day, she enjoys relaxing in her crate or quiet space. Stella has undergone months of dedicated training, allowing her to thrive as a companion for those who understand her unique personality. She's house-trained, crate-trained, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations, and she knows commands like sit, down, and stay. Her training journey included over six months with professionals at Greenleaf Pet Resort, and as part of her rehoming, she comes with paid lifetime training support.
