Stella's Story

Meet Stella – Your next adventure buddy!<br/><br/>Stella is a very confident, curious, and cuddly 4-month-old Border Collie mix. But don’t let that overload of cuteness lull you into thinking she’s a pushover. Stella has that working collie grit, which might try the casual dog owner. Due to her high energy and desire to learn, Stella would do best in an active home, farm, or ranch. We don’t know how she is with livestock; given her breeding she would likely chase if not properly trained. She would likely be a great candidate for agility. <br/><br/>Here’s what else we can say about Stella: <br/><br/>• Gets along with other dogs and should have another doggie friend.<br/>• Loves to learn and is food motivated<br/>• Crate trained<br/>• Rides great in the car<br/>• Loves meeting people<br/>• Doing great on the leash <br/>• Pretty well house trained!<br/>• Gets along with cats<br/>• Stella is very vocal, both in play and alerting<br/><br/>Stella is being fostered in Portland, Oregon. Stella was reportedly born in January 2026. She is up to date on her vaccinations, and has been wormed. Her adoption fee is $400.
