About Stella - Home to Home

Stella is a sweet, affectionate girl looking for a loving home where she can be the center of attention. Due to ongoing conflicts with her littermate sister, we have made the difficult and heartbreaking decision to rehome her so she can live in an environment where everyone stays safe and happy. We truly believe Stella would thrive as the only pet in the household. Stella is calm by nature and not overly energetic, but she absolutely enjoys playtime, training sessions, and spending quality time with her people. She is incredibly smart and picked up basic commands very quickly. She knows sit, lay down, shake, speak, roll over, leave it, and comes when called. Mention the word "walk," and she'll be ready in an instant. She is both crate trained and fully potty trained, making her an easy addition to a structured home. Stella loves comfort and affection. If you give her a blanket, she'll happily wrap herself up and settle in for cuddles. Belly rubs are one of her favorite things, and she's a true snuggle companion. Stella is wonderful with children and has never bitten anyone. She can be a little cautious around men and taller individuals at first, but she warms up quickly, especially when treats are involved. Women, in particular, tend to become her friends very quickly. One quirk that makes Stella uniquely herself is her love of collecting toys. She prefers to keep them all close and tends to hoard them rather than share, which is another reason she would do best as the only pet in the home. She also has a playful side that never fails to make us smile. Stella loves going on walks, responds immediately when called, and enjoys watching and chasing airplanes across the sky. We love Stella deeply and are committed to finding her a home where she can receive all the love, attention, and one-on-one companionship she deserves. She isn't being rehomed because she isn't a good dog-she truly is. We simply believe she will flourish in a home where she can be someone's one and only furry best friend.
