Stella (AP26-157)'s Story

Stella's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous donor!<br/><br/>Stella is a nine-year-old German Shepherd weighing 68 pounds, with a gentle heart and a wonderfully sweet, docile temperament. This lovely girl has so much love to give and truly enjoys attention from the people she trusts. Whether she's relaxing by your side or soaking up affection, Stella's calm presence makes her a comforting companion.<br/><br/>While Stella is incredibly sweet, she can still feel nervous in new environments and remains sensitive to the world around her. She does best with patient, understanding people who are willing to move at her pace and be mindful when introducing her to new experiences, people, and surroundings. With time and reassurance, Stella continues to build confidence and settle in more comfortably.<br/><br/>Stella also thrives around her canine companions and looks to other dogs for comfort and reassurance. Because of this, she requires another confident dog in the home to help her feel safe and secure as she adjusts. A meet and greet with any resident dogs at the shelter will also be required to ensure everyone is a good fit.<br/><br/>With patience, kindness, and a calm environment, Stella will make a deeply loyal and loving companion for someone willing to give her the understanding she deserves.<br/>------<br/>Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!
