Her name is Stella Rico, and she is ready to be someones 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 shes been listening to your problems all day and honestly, she probably has.

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 dont let her dignified demeanor fool you she has her playful side too. Toss a ball and shes ready for fetch. Offer a tug toy and shes 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 isnt 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/>Doesnt require a crate <br/><br/>A 4-foot fence is great if you have one, but she doesnt require a fenced yard<br/>Lived in a home with a one-year-old child<br/><br/>Shes comfortable around both men and women and truly just wants to be near her people. Shes affectionate without being clingy the perfect balance.<br/><br/>Important to Know:<br/>Stella Rico has a strong interest in squirrels (who among us doesnt?) and she barks at cats, so a cat-free home would likely be best. We havent seen how she interacts with other dogs yet.<br/><br/>Health Note Addisons Disease<br/>Stella Rico has Addisons 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 doesnt 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 hasnt changed is Stella Ricos sweet, steady heart. She deserves the forever shes been waiting for.<br/><br/>Stella Rico is smart, gentle, playful, and deeply loyal. Shes 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 youre 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/>Shes not just adoptable.<br/>Shes 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.
