Stella Chihuahua Minneapolis, MN

I'm Stella and I'm a dainty little gal who loves to run and jump. Now I can do that a lot more since the U of M vets fixed me up. Now my ears stand up too! My favorite things include running around the kitchen, playing with the other doggies in my foster home, and fuzzy toys. Oh, and I love my Snuggle Safe too! I sleep with it in my crate inside my pen. I'm quiet at night, but when I hear people wake up, I'm ready to run some more! I'm doing pretty well with piddle pads, and hope to get outside a lot more now that it's warming up. I can be a little shy at first, and I don't really liked to be picked up yet, but I'm getting better at that. I can get overwhelmed with too much activity, and would do best in a home with older, quieter children or no children at all. Another dog to play with would be super! I weigh a little over 3 pounds now. I am looking for a family to grow up with. Are you that family?

Stella is estimated to be 4.5 months old and 6 lbs. Since we don't know at all what doggy genes are in the dogs make up (we don't know who mom and dad are!), we are just guessing on breed and size when grown.

All dogs are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. They have all had a vet exam, are up to date on vaccinations, have been given a dewormer, are treated for fleas, have a heartworm test if over 6 months old and are up to date on a heartworm preventative.

Please note that because we require a home visit at the time of adoption we can only place animals in homes within a 60 mile radius of Minneapolis.If you are interested in meeting this dog please fill out the pre-adoption application on our website at http://www.safehandsrescue.org under Adopt and we will get back to you to arrange a meeting in the foster home.

We are also having an adoption event at R&D Bio-techne, located at 2001 Kennedy St NE Minneapolis 55413 on Saturday, May 13, from 12-2pm. Please bring a copy of your pre-adoption application.
