Stella

DO NOT ADOPT THIS DOG IF... you value personal space, enjoy sitting on a couch alone, think ice cubes belong in drinks and not in a dog’s mouth like crunchy little treasures, don’t want a 46 lb “lap dog” who clearly never got the memo about her size, feel uncomfortable being lovingly stared at like you are the center of the universe, dislike being followed from room to room like a mildly obsessed (but extremely cute) shadow, or aren’t prepared for aggressive levels of snuggling, leaning, and full-body flops. Because Stella? Yeah... she’s guilty on all counts.<br/><br/>This girl is a full-blown Stage 5 Snuggler. She doesn’t just enjoy affection—she treats it like a full-time responsibility. If you sit down, she sits on you. If you lie down, she melts into you. If you exist, she would very much prefer to be touching you at all times, thank you very much. And don’t even think about opening the freezer without her magically appearing like, “Is that...my ice cube?”<br/><br/>She will politely wait for an invite onto the couch and then fully commit to never leaving. She’s known for dramatic, belly-up “bat mode” flops designed for maximum rub access, and she pairs Olympic-level zoomies with immediate cuddle recovery like a true professional. She takes treats gently like a little lady, has great crate manners, and knows how to behave—but personal boundaries? Absolutely not her thing. She’s kid-approved, cat-experienced, and completely obsessed with her humans.<br/><br/>She’s basically the perfect mix of goofy, polite, and velcro. So again... do NOT apply if you want independence, uninterrupted personal time, or aren’t emotionally prepared to be someone’s entire world. But if you are looking for a hilarious, affectionate, ice-cube-loving cuddle bug who will adore you with her whole wiggly self, Stella might just be exactly what you didn’t know you needed.
