Stella

We are looking for a new home for Stella, an 11 month old staffy/pug mix. She is an adorable, affectionate, energetic girl that could make a great addition to your family.

We have had to make the tough decision to rehome Stella because of aggressive behavior from our other older female dog. She came to us from a rescue down in Texas. Stella will need some time adjusting to a new home, but once she comes out of her shell she is a bundle of affectionate energy!

We think she would do best in a home with an owner/owners who can dedicate time to building her confidence around new people and places. She has been working on crate training and is doing very well. Stella is eager to please her humans, so we think she will be very receptive to some basic obedience training. She also loves to cuddle and loves attention from her humans.

Stella loves to play, so we think she would do great in a home with other dogs that can handle more rambunctious play, or a home where her humans can give her lots of things to do. Please let us know if you think Stella could be the right fit for you, and if you have any questions!
