About Stella

Stella is a lively 9-month-old Maltese Mix who was found as a stray. After arriving at PCAPS, she needed a shave due to burrs covering her coat, but this sweet girl is ready for her fresh start. She's affectionate and gets along well with other small dogs, making her a great companion for furry friends. Cats are still a mystery to her, so we'll need to figure that out later. With plenty of energy, she thrives in active environments and would do best in a home with a fenced yard where she can play and explore safely. An apartment likely wouldn’t suit her energetic personality. While she’s not quite house trained yet, she’s working hard on it and learning something new every day. Consider bringing this sweet girl into your life. Every animal deserves a happy ending, and this one starts with you.
