Stella Bella Mastiff & American Staffordshire Terrier Mix Ayer, MA

** MEET AND GREET EVENT: Saturday, Jan. 3 from 12-3pm at Fuzzy Pants Pet Shop at 276 Shrewsbury St, Worcester, MA. While Stella won't be attending, we will have several other dogs there to meet. Getting an application in before the event will help expedite the adoption process.

Hi! My name is Stella Bella and I am one of the sweetest dogs you will ever meet!

I absolutely adore being with my people! I will follow you all around the house just to be by your side- but I'm also independent enough to respect when you need your space. I am around 7 years old but you would never know it by the way I play! I LOVE toys. Give me a toy bin full of squeaky toys and stuffed chewy things and I am in heaven. I have plenty of energy to go for long jogs with you if you are the type but am just as content to stop and smell the flowers on walks. I'm really the best mix of personality you could ask for- energetic and fun outside and cuddly and calm indoors. I would love to follow you around the house and lay softly snoring at your feet(or by your side) all day. I am so quiet and gentle, you might not even know I am there! I may even roll over for some tummy rubs (okay, that's not a maybe, I will definitely want tummy rubs!). I am totally house-trained, almost never bark, and am okay hanging out on the couch all day, even if you aren't home.

My absolute favorite thing(after belly rubs and stopping to smell the flowers) is car rides! If you are someone who needs a good navigator in your passenger seat, I'm your dog!

I had a rough life before coming into rescue, but despite being treated so poorly, I am still the nicest, sweetest girl you will ever meet! I need to work on my leash manners, but I do great with a good harness.

I am already spayed, completely house-trained, and up to date with my shots. I am great with most other dogs and stellar(get it? Stella-r!) with cats, but I would also be content to be the only recipient of your attention! I know how to sit, and lie down and I am a quick learner. In one foster home I learned meal-time manners(sit before breakfast! sit before dinner!) and impressed my foster mom with taking a seat(unasked!) in the hallway when I saw her pick up my harness and leash. I really just want to make you happy and spend time with you!

I have waited such a long time to find the right family who will love me as much as I love them! My foster parent is willing to answer any questions that you may have about me.
