Stella - PAWS's Story

Hi, my name is Stella. I was originally adopted from APA as a young puppy, but my family returned me in Sept. 2025 because I was not working out in their home anymore. I am a shy, gentle gal but also very protective of my people. My foster family says I am the perfect dog at home. As long as I get some exercise, I just relax and chill at home. My only issues is that I have allergies that need management.
