Stella

Stella (We've been calling her that for a month)

Husky Pup looking for forever home

Poor girl was dumped in our neighborhood when it was 106 outside. Paws were blistered from the asphalt heat! We took her in although we have two full 80 pound labs. She does great with them! Her paws are healed, she's had puppy shots and we had her chipped. She's a good girl, just needs a home with more room and more time to spend with her. We work full time, kids in school and it's a lot to manage with three big dogs. She's very smart, will be easy to train. She's a sweet, happy girl. We don't have a fenced yard, so we have her on a leash outside in case she sees a butterfly and needs to chase it!
