Meet Stella!
Stella is a 1.5-year-old Great Dane with a playful spirit, endless energy, and enough personality to keep you smiling every day. This goofy girl loves running around the yard, wrestling with her foster siblings, and joining her people on long walks and adventures. When meeting new people, Stella can be a little shy at first, especially around men. She isn't aggressive in the slightest, just cautious. Her favorite introduction method is simple: ignore her! Once she has completed her important sniffing duties and satisfied her curiosity, she warms up quickly and becomes a loving, affectionate companion. Stella prefers to approach new people on her own terms and isn't a fan of being grabbed at before she's comfortable. Stella has done wonderfully with people of all ages, from babies to seniors. She currently lives with an adult cat and has shown no aggression, though she is very curious about kittens and other small animals. Like many young Danes, Stella loves to play, but she plays hard! She has no idea how big she is and enjoys throwing around her giant paws, so a home without small dogs would likely be the best fit. This girl also takes her neighborhood watch duties very seriously. If she hears the slightest suspicious sound, she'll bark an enthusiastic alert before promptly retreating and letting someone else investigate the situation. Stella is truly a gem – a sweet, silly, loyal young Dane who is looking for a patient family willing to give her a little time to build confidence. In return, she'll reward you with endless love, laughter, and companionship. Whoever adopts Stella is sure to fall in love with her immediately.
Ideal Home
A patient family who is willing to give Stella time to build confidence. A home without small dogs would be the best fit due to her playful nature and large size.
Ongoing Health
Stella is spayed, current on vaccinations, and microchipped.
Training & Support
Stella is potty trained and crate trained. She is kenneled when unsupervised, as she occasionally enjoys plundering and pillaging any treasures she can find around the house. Stella can be a bit of an escape artist and may jump a fence if she decides she's finished being contained. While she is now very reliable off leash with her foster family, she was initially a flight risk and required leash walks until trust and bonding were established.
