Here's what the humans have to say about me:
STELLA LOVEBUG (TENNESSEE)
Stella Lovebug is a 6 year old (estimated) 9 pound Yorkie girl being fostered in Ashland City, TN.
Stella is a beautiful Yorkie who was surrendered by her owner who loved her very much but due to her work schedule, she lovingly seeked out Breed Specific Rescue to find someone who could be home with Stella to help her with some things. Stella came from a recent Puppy Mill bust. She was most likely used for breeding over and over again and is just now getting to learn how to be a special part of a family. Puppy Mill Survivors need a bit of extra care and sensitivity. They are mostly timid and apprehensive around humans. They also need LOTS of care and patience in learning how to not potty in the house. She lived out her life in a cage and didn’t have anywhere else to potty except in there. It can be quite overwhelming for them to learn when and where to go potty. Getting used to being clean, having good food to eat, fresh water to drink , and a LOVING HUMAN that wants to pet them and spoil them takes a bit for a Puppy Mill Survivor to adjust to. It is also quite amazing to them to have an entire yard to run around! So much space! It’s even more of a plus when their new Human lets them sleep in the bed beside them! Wow! So much change very quickly after years of the same. Stella Lovebug is up to date on her shots, microchipped , spayed and has had a dental. She is diagnosed with a grade 3/6 heart murmur but no medication needed as of yet. She will visit the doggy Dogtor this week for a checkup to make sure all is still well with her since coming into rescue. Then she can be adopted. The perfect home for Stella Lovebug would be a home with a yard she can run free in, another dog to play with and a stay at home mommy to help care for her special needs and teach her how to just be a spoiled, loved member of the family. No children under 14 please, they may make her a bit nervous. She needs a calm space to feel comfortable in to adjust. If you think you have room in your heart and home for this special Lovebug who still has a lot of love to give, please email Foster mom at mandymsmith1@yahoo.com with any questions.
