Stella

Stella is the kind of dog who quietly carries a big story in her gentle eyes. This sweet shorthaired pointer mix has been through more than her fair share of hardship, including living with severe knee pain for far too long. Despite it all, she remains incredibly loving, resilient, and ready to trust again.Now, Stella has a real chance at a new life. The shelter is committed to covering the cost of the double knee surgery she needs—but what she truly needs is a safe, patient home where she can recover. Her first few months will require extra care, including limited activity, help getting around, and lots of encouragement as she heals. In return, you’ll get to watch an amazing transformation as Stella becomes more comfortable, mobile, and joyful with each passing week.Stella is wonderful with kids and gets along with other dogs, making her a lovely addition to a family with a warm, supportive environment. However, she does need a cat-free home.If you have a calm space, a compassionate heart, and the ability to give Stella the time and care she needs to heal, you won’t just be adopting a dog—you’ll be changing her life. And in her own loyal way, she’ll change yours right back.Adoption fee includes:âœ... Surgeryâœ... Vaccinesâœ... Microchipâœ...
