**FOSTERED IN MOLINO, FL.**
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 slightestjust 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 playbut 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 potty trained and has had no accidents in her foster home with regular potty breaks. She is crate trained and is kenneled when unsupervised, as she occasionally enjoys plundering and pillaging any treasures she can find around the house.
Potential adopters should know that Stella can be a bit of an escape artist. She can clear a 4-foot baby gate 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. It took her just a few days to settle into her foster home, and once she felt safe, she made herself right at home.
Stella is truly a gema 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.
Stella is spayed, current on vaccinations and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $400.
