About Stella

Stella has truly found her groove! This joyful girl is a bundle of love, perfect for anyone seeking a cheerful companion. She plays well with other dogs, holding her own with her larger foster sister, Sophie, but keeps the playtime friendly rather than aggressive. When outside, she comes over occasionally for a bit of loving attention before wandering off to explore. Every morning, Stella greets you with a cheesy smile and a little happy dance, letting you know just how excited she is to see you. She waits patiently to be welcomed back home and has good recall. While she's currently mastering 'sit,' she excels at staying put and responds well to gentle corrections. Stella enjoys gentle rubs and some light TV time, provided it's not too intense. Though she can be a bit tense when picked up, she maintains a gentle spirit and would thrive in a calm home, perhaps with a mature couple or a serene family. Ready to fall in love?
