About Stella

Stella is a lively 9-month-old Maltese mix who found her way to the rescue after being discovered as a stray. She came in needing a shave due to being matted with burrs, but that hasn’t dampened her sweet spirit. Stella adores people and gets along well with other small dogs, making her a great buddy for playful pups. While she’s still figuring out life, she's learning and adapting every day. Stella has plenty of energy and would thrive in a home where she has another dog to play with and a fenced yard to roam in. An apartment or condo setting likely wouldn’t be ideal for her. She’s not yet house trained but is making progress. This adorable girl is looking for a loving home where she can continue to grow and play. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
