Meet Stella!
Stella is a spirited one-and-a-half-year-old Siberian Husky mix, a vibrant blend of intelligence, loyalty, and quiet confidence. This medium-sized girl, weighing around 55 pounds, is growing into an impressive companion who thrives when surrounded by people who understand and respect her unique personality. She enjoys long walks, adventurous hikes, energetic games of tug-of-war, relaxing car rides, and settling into her favorite crate or quiet space after a fulfilling day. Stella is house-trained, crate-trained, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. She also knows an impressive list of commands, including sit, down, stay, heel, place, and yes-marker cues that help with recall and redirection. Stella's caregivers invested more than six months in proactive training, helping her reach an impressive neutrality rate around other dogs. She is remarkably quiet, having barked only twice in seven months, and prefers communicating through gentle body language and the occasional whimper when she feels overwhelmed. Stella comes with fully paid lifetime professional training support, giving her future family ongoing access to expert guidance and training resources for the rest of her life. Her digestive concerns are now being successfully managed through a carefully balanced veterinary diet, and she comes with complete medical and behavioral records, as well as pet insurance. Stella is ready for a new loving home with people who will champion her needs and celebrate her progress every step of the way.
Ideal Home
Stella needs an experienced adult-only family who understands positive reinforcement and advocacy. She is not compatible with cats or other dogs and requires a fenced yard.
Ongoing Health
Stella's digestive concerns are managed with a veterinary diet. She comes with complete medical records and pet insurance.
Training & Support
Stella has a history of biting when unfamiliar people attempt to touch her without her consent or before trust has been established, making it especially important that her family carefully manage introductions and advocate for her personal space. She can become uncomfortable when unfamiliar people attempt to pet her, so she needs patient adopters who will allow her to initiate contact, carefully read her body language, and respect her boundaries. She comes with fully paid lifetime professional training support.
