Meet Stella!
Stella is a spirited one-and-a-half-year-old Siberian Husky mix with a vibrant blend of intelligence, loyalty, and quiet confidence. She's a medium-sized girl, weighing about 55 pounds, with a lightly golden coat and beautiful white accents. Stella thrives when surrounded by people who understand and respect her unique personality. She enjoys long walks, adventurous hikes, energetic games of tug-of-war, and relaxing car rides. After a fulfilling day, she loves to settle into her favorite crate or quiet space. 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 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.
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, 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.
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's caregivers invested more than six months in proactive training with Greenleaf Pet Resort, helping her reach an impressive neutrality rate around other dogs. As part of her rehoming program, Stella comes with fully paid lifetime professional training support through Greenleaf Pet Resort, 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.
