Meet Stella!
Stella is a spirited one-and-a-half-year-old Siberian Husky mix with a vibrant personality. She's intelligent, loyal, and carries herself with quiet confidence. This medium-sized girl, weighing around 55 pounds, is growing into an impressive companion who thrives with understanding and respectful people. She loves long walks, adventurous hikes, energetic games of tug-of-war, relaxing car rides, and settling into her crate or a 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 like sit, down, stay, heel, place, and uses marker cues for recall and redirection. Stella's caregivers invested over six months in proactive training, helping her achieve a good 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 feeling overwhelmed.
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. Stella has a history of biting when unfamiliar people attempt to touch her without her consent or before trust has been established, so it's 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.
Ongoing Health
Stella's digestive concerns are now being successfully managed through a carefully balanced veterinary diet. She comes with complete medical and behavioral records, as well as pet insurance.
Training & Support
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. When trust develops, Stella shows her affection by nudging a hand for attention and sharing quiet moments with the people she loves.
