About Stella

Stella, a delightful 4-year-old Cairn Terrier, found herself homeless after her owner's passing. Transitioning from a noisy shelter to a foster home was tough for her. Now, Stella is blossoming and is known as the world’s best hugger. Stella thrives on human companionship, often seen as a little 'Velcro dog.' She loves to snuggle and gives heartfelt hugs without any sense of personal space. While she may bark at strangers, she warms up quickly, proving her friendly nature. Potty-trained and toy-obsessed, especially with stuffed animals, she enjoys her playful moments. She walks well on a leash but requires a harness due to some pulling. Stella gets along wonderfully with small dogs and cats, but she does not appreciate the presence of larger dogs. She has occasional food guarding behaviors, which are manageable with supervision. For those who want a lap dog that quietly adores you, Stella might just be the perfect match. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
