Stella - Black Mouth Cur Dog Available for Adoption

Hi, Im Stella.

Remember me? I was up for adoption 6 months ago. I was in my 4th home. Before that, I was used as a breeder. The other times, I was given up because I was too puppyish, annother time cause I was to small. Its uncertain why some of the others gave me up. My last home said they didnt have time for me.

Im about 4 years old now. I seem to be a black mouth cure mix. I am spayed and up to date on all my shots.

With all this moving around and uncertainty, I just dont know who my family is or who I can trust, so I feel like I have to protect myself. Im a reactive dog. I do get along with the dog I live with and got along with previous dogs Ive lived with.

Sadly, only a few days after the last time I was adopted, there was an incident. I was at my new grandmoms house when someone let her dogs in. They scared me, and I protected myself. This was not my fault.

My new mom has made the hard decision to try to find me a home with someone who has experience with reactive dogs and who can give me the time and patience I need.

Im absolutely a Velcro dog. I love to play and Im super energetic. Im very sweet and loving, and Ill give you kisses all day and sit in your lap.

Being so unsure of things makes me reactive. I need everything done slowlyslow introductions to people, other animals, and even new places. I need to be introduced slowly to animals and people outside of my home.

My adopted mom has agreed to foster me until the right and final home can be found. She uses treats to help me through new situations because I am highly motivated by treats.

Im only partially potty trained. I go both outside and inside, and I will occasionally use potty training pads. Im so confused sometimes that Im not always sure how things work where I am.

My new home should have people who are savvy with bully breeds and reactive, sensitive dogs. It might be necessary to meet me a few times before taking me home.

My rescuers say I deserve stability, a routine, and not to be moved around anymore.

No kids. No cats.

Only calm, nanny-type dogs with proper introductions, or I would like to be your only baby.

I just want a family who will understand me, be patient with me, and finally give me the forever home Ive been searching for. Fill out an adoption application at www.affrescue.com
