Stella's Story

Meet Stella!<br/><br/>**FOSTERED IN MOLINO, FL.**<br/><br/>Stella is a 1.5-year-old Great Dane with a playful spirit, endless energy, and enough personality to keep you smiling every day. This goofy girl loves running around the yard, wrestling with her foster siblings, and joining her people on long walks and adventures.<br/><br/>When meeting new people, Stella can be a little shy at first, especially around men. She isn't aggressive in the slightestjust cautious. Her favorite introduction method is simple: ignore her! Once she has completed her important sniffing duties and satisfied her curiosity, she warms up quickly and becomes a loving, affectionate companion. Stella prefers to approach new people on her own terms and isn't a fan of being grabbed at before she's comfortable.<br/><br/>Stella has done wonderfully with people of all ages, from babies to seniors. She currently lives with an adult cat and has shown no aggression, though she is very curious about kittens and other small animals.<br/><br/>Like many young Danes, Stella loves to playbut she plays hard! She has no idea how big she is and enjoys throwing around her giant paws, so a home without small dogs would likely be the best fit.<br/><br/>This girl also takes her neighborhood watch duties very seriously. If she hears the slightest suspicious sound, she'll bark an enthusiastic alert before promptly retreating and letting someone else investigate the situation.<br/><br/>Stella is potty trained and has had no accidents in her foster home with regular potty breaks. She is crate trained and is kenneled when unsupervised, as she occasionally enjoys plundering and pillaging any treasures she can find around the house.<br/><br/>Potential adopters should know that Stella can be a bit of an escape artist. She can clear a 4-foot baby gate and may jump a fence if she decides she's finished being contained. While she is now very reliable off leash with her foster family, she was initially a flight risk and required leash walks until trust and bonding were established. It took her just a few days to settle into her foster home, and once she felt safe, she made herself right at home.<br/><br/>Stella is truly a gema sweet, silly, loyal young Dane who is looking for a patient family willing to give her a little time to build confidence. In return, she'll reward you with endless love, laughter, and companionship. Whoever adopts Stella is sure to fall in love with her immediately.<br/><br/>Stella is spayed, current on vaccinations and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $400.<br/><br/>To read over the adoption requirements before applying to adopt, please go to www.nwflgdr.com/adopt.<br/><br/>Please note: NWFLGDR does not transport. Approved adopters are required to pick up the dane in person from his/her foster parent.

We allow exceptions in rare medical instances upon verification with your vet only. 2. All Dogs and outdoor Cats in your home MUST be current and have been kept historically up to date on annual vaccinations and monthly (or semiannual) heartworm and flea prevention. We will call your vet to verify this. We allow exceptions to this in rare medical instances upon verification with your vet, ONLY. 3. You must be a minimum of 21 years of age to adopt and be able to prove you're financially able to care for a great dane should a medical emergency arise. 4. You must own the property in which you live or your landlord must be willing to verify that you are allowed to have a Great Dane in your rental home. We check property records.? 5. Our Great Danes require a sturdy fenced in yard, particularly young or active danes. Generally, a six-foot or higher privacy fencing is preferred. In certain circumstances, the Board may waive this requirement depending upon the Dane's personality and temperament. Any such exceptions will solely be at the discretion of the Rescue Board. Under no circumstances will we consider invisible or electric fencing as acceptable. 6. We only adopt Dogs as indoor pets. We will not adopt Dogs to be used as guard dogs or to be kept out-of-doors. 7. A home visit is required for ALL adoptions, without exception. This is not a white-glove inspection, rather it is to ensure that the home is a safe environment for the Great Dane. 8. We do not transport. If you are applying from out of area or out of state, understand that if your application gets approved, you will be expected to pick up the dane in the location that he/she is being fostered. In addition, if the adoption does not work out, it is your responsibility to bring the dane safely back to us. 9. There may be multiple applications for the same Dog. Our Great Danes are placed in the home we believe most suitable for them, based upon their individual needs and temperament. 10. Before applying below, please expect this application process to take about two weeks. If you are applying from out of area or state, please expect a slight delay. It will take us more time to get the home visit set up. At any time, if you have questions about the status of your application, please email the rescue at nwflgdr@gmail.com.
