Please use our official website rather than the Petfinder "Start your Inquiry" button.<br/><br/>Stella #23 is a beautiful, 43 lb, sweet 7-month-old Lab/Golden mix who is finally discovering what life is all about! She spent the first six months of her life in a kennel environment, never knowing the comforts of a home or the love of a family. Now in a loving foster home, she is blossoming and learning something new every day! One thing we know for certain is that Stella LOVES other dogs! She enjoys wrestling, playing chase, and cuddling with her two canine foster siblings. Her forever home MUST have another confident, playful, and tolerant dog to help her continue building confidence and learning how to navigate her new world. A fenced yard is a must for her.<br/><br/>Stella is also a big lovebug who adores cuddling with her people. She is still very much a puppy, however, and will need continued training, supervision, patience, and positive reinforcement. She is making progress with crate training and sleeps through the night, but house training is still a work in progress. She also needs to learn that furniture and rugs are not chew toys! Because Stella is still adjusting to a world that is new to her, we feel she would do best in a home without very young children. She needs a family with time to devote to her training and socialization and should not be left alone for long periods.<br/><br/>Watching Stella blossom has been incredibly rewarding. Each day she becomes a little braver and more confident. She may have had a difficult beginning, but she has so much love to give! Stella is looking for a patient, committed family who will give her the time, companionship, guidance, and love she needs to become the wonderful dog she is meant to be!<br/><br/>QUESTIONS: For additional information about Stella #23 please email Ann Hilchey: ann.hilchey@labs4rescue.org<br/><br/>Stella #23 is being fostered in Connecticut.<br/><br/>BEFORE YOU APPLY: Please review our "Adopt a Lab" page (labs4rescue.com/adopt) and our Sample Adoption Contract.
