DESCRIPTION
Meet Stella! Stella is a beautiful, 3yr old mix breed. She came to us when her owner could no longer care for her. Stella can be a bit shy meeting new people. She does tend to warm up quickly once she gets to know you. Stella lived with children and another dog in her previous home. Stella is well behaved and does know some basic commands. She will sit nicely while you get her food and wait while you put her bowl down. She walks fairly well on a leash but she is a strong girl. She sometimes will pull if she sees something that interests her. Stella would do best with an active family so she can get the exercise she needs. She would make a great hiking or running partner. If you are interested in Stella, please fill out our online application or stop in during open hours. Wednesday 6-8pm or Saturday 12-3p.
