About Stella
πΎπ Meet Stella ππΎ
π Stella | 4 Years Old | Red Cattle Dog π
π Once upon a time, sweet Stella knew a life no dog should ever endure... permanently tethered, with no shade βοΈ, no freedom πΏ, and no friends π₯Ί. But despite her heartbreaking past, Stella's spirit remains as bright as ever, and she's ready to write the next chapter of her story with a family who will cherish her forever. β€οΈ πΆ Stella at a Glance
β¨ Friendly & affectionate
β¨ Loves people
β¨ Sociable with the right dogs
β¨ Indoor companion material
β¨ Toy enthusiast
β¨ Easy-going for a cattle dog
β¨ Full-body wiggle expert π β€οΈ Her Personality
Stella is the definition of a people dog π€. She greets complete strangers like long-lost friends and has never met a human she didn't want to love. Her beautiful nature makes her a wonderful candidate for a family with dog-savvy, respectful children π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦.
Whether it's leaning in for a scratch π₯°, enjoying a grooming session β¨, or proudly parading her favourite toy around the house π§Έ, Stella finds joy in the simple things. Her signature move? The most adorable full-body wiggle you've ever seen when she's happy! π π‘ Her Ideal Home
ποΈ Indoor living with her family
π§Έ Plenty of toys to carry around and treasure
πΆββοΈ Daily exercise and enrichment
π³ A secure yard for playtime and pottering about
β€οΈ Humans who enjoy companionship and cuddles
Stella settles well and can happily cope if her humans are out for a few hours during the day. She's just as content joining you on adventures as she is quietly pottering around the home and yard. πΌ π Dog Friends
With thoughtful introductions, Stella has shown she can be quite sociable. π
πΎ Her best friend is Lacey, a female Kelpie, and the pair love a good romp together.
πΎ She enjoys playing with friendly, social dogs.
πΎ She has shown a dislike towards some other entire female dogs.
πΎ She may resource guard food around other dogs, so management and understanding are important.
Because of this, any canine companions should be introduced carefully and thoughtfully. π π Why You'll Love Stella
Stella is a resilient soul whose capacity for love is truly inspiring. Despite everything she's endured, she remains confident, friendly, forgiving, and endlessly loving. β€οΈ
She doesn't ask for much... just a comfy bed ποΈ, some favourite toys π§Έ, daily adventures π³, plenty of scratches ποΈ, and a family to call her own forever. π‘π
If you're looking for a loyal companion with a heart of gold, Stella might just be your perfect match. πΎβ€οΈ
π From chained and forgotten... to cherished and adored. Stella deserves her happily-ever-after. ππβ¨
