About Stella

Meet Stella! This lovable lady was born on March 20, 2016, and although she's a senior, she's bursting with energy and affection. After being left in the care of a neighbor, she found her way to a shelter and is now on a quest for a family to call her own. Stella excels as a professional snuggler and has a playful spirit. She enjoys squeaky toys, chew toys, and peanut butter Kongs, and she might just keep the ball for herself during a game of fetch. With impeccable manners, she’s housebroken and crate trained, and walks beautifully on a leash—unless a squirrel crosses her path. Stella gets along well with dogs of all sizes and adores people, always ready for a good cuddle. While she prefers a cat-free home and we’re unsure about young children, she thrives in a cozy environment where she can feel loved. All Stella asks for is comfy sleeping spots, some toys, tasty food, and plenty of cuddles. She's ready to share her golden years with a family who appreciates her charm. Ready to give this sweet senior her happily ever after?
