More about Stella

Cutie patootie alert! Stella is an adorable 1-2 year old, 14 lb., black and white, short-haired pup. She has beautiful doe eyes, freckles and cow spots. She enjoys playing with her foster dog siblings and toys for a little bit in the morning and by dinner Ella settles down quickly on the couch.  She sleeps nicely during the day with her foster siblings while her foster mom works from her home office.  Stella takes time (a couple days) to warm up to new people but after that time, she is a friendly, happy and snuggly dog.  She has enjoyed learning about the joys of being a family pet.  She is wonderful with other dogs and in fact, should be adopted into a home that has a confident dog. Stella trusts dogs first and having a companion resident pup will help her transition to her forever home.  She's getting braver to go outside for potty; however, Stella still uses potty pads. This sweet little girl will require a bit of a warm-up period, but your patience, consistency and kindness will be rewarded with a loyal companion, and you will get to see her continue to grow into a friendly and confident dog.    If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application  . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will send to the foster family to set up a meet! The adoption fee of $300 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.
