Stella Rico

Meet Stella Rico <br/><br/>Estimated Birthday: 12/4/2020 <br/>Weight: 47 lbs of pure love <br/>Breed: Mixed Breed Queen<br/>Adoption Fee: $365<br/><br/>If you’ve been waiting for a sign to adopt a dog… this is it. Her name is Stella Rico, and she is ready to be someone’s whole heart.<br/><br/>Stella Rico Rico is a beautiful 5-year-old mixed breed with the kind of soulful eyes that make you feel like she’s been listening to your problems all day — and honestly, she probably has. She’s the perfect medium size at 47 pounds: big enough for real hugs, small enough to fit perfectly beside you on the couch.<br/><br/>Let’s talk personality.<br/>Stella Rico is calm and composed indoors — a true lady. She walks beautifully on leash (no sled-dog reenactments here), enjoys long strolls through the neighborhood, and is happiest just hanging out with her people. But don’t let her dignified demeanor fool you — she has her playful side too. Toss a ball and she’s ready for fetch. Offer a tug toy and she’s in. And every now and then? Backyard zoomies. The deluxe edition.<br/><br/>Fun Fact: Stella Rico watches TV. Intently. She has strong opinions about dogs and cats on screen and isn’t afraid to voice them. Honestly, we love a girl who stays informed.<br/><br/>Home Life<br/>House trained ✔️<br/>Well-behaved when left alone ✔️<br/>Doesn’t require a crate ✔️<br/><br/>A 4-foot fence is great if you have one, but she doesn’t require a fenced yard<br/>Lived in a home with a one-year-old child<br/><br/>She’s comfortable around both men and women and truly just wants to be near her people. She’s affectionate without being clingy — the perfect balance.<br/><br/>Important to Know:<br/>Stella Rico has a strong interest in squirrels (who among us doesn’t?) and she barks at cats, so a cat-free home would likely be best. We haven’t seen how she interacts with other dogs yet.<br/><br/>Health Note — Addison’s Disease<br/>Stella Rico has Addison’s Disease, which simply means she takes a daily prednisone pill and receives a monthly injection to keep her feeling her best. And she does feel her best — happy, active, and thriving. She doesn’t let it slow her down one bit. Think of it as a small monthly maintenance plan for a very premium dog.<br/><br/>Her Backstory<br/>Stella Rico is a returned adoption — through absolutely no fault of her own. Sometimes life changes, but what hasn’t changed is Stella Rico’s sweet, steady heart. She deserves the forever she’s been waiting for.<br/><br/>Stella Rico is smart, gentle, playful, and deeply loyal. She’s the kind of dog who will quietly sit beside you after a long day, rest her head on your leg, and remind you that you are her whole world.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a best friend who walks beautifully on leash, plays a mean game of tug, supervises wildlife from the window, and binge-watches TV with you… Stella Rico is your girl.<br/><br/>She’s not just adoptable.<br/>She’s unforgettable. <br/><br/><br/>Before emailing- please read:<br/>- Yes, this dog is available for adoption<br/>- The adoption fee is $365<br/>- Apply at c2cnd.org<br/>- The adoption fee covers their age appropriate shots, microchip, deworming, spay/neuter, and any other medical expenses while in our care.<br/>- Local adopters only.
