Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello world,
My name is Stella Marie. I am a stunning Leopard Catahoula who was abused and dumped. I wasn't spayed at the time and ended up pregnant. One day 14+ weeks ago, I wandered up to a lovely, cool, safe porch. I was paper thin, tired, and thirsty. I couldn't move any farther. This kind couple got home from work and saw me on their porch. Immediately, they knew they needed to help save my life. They brought me in, cleaned and fed me, and I had all the water I wanted. I know I slept for quite a while. I was getting up to eat, saying hi, and going outside to potty. Then, one day, my foster mom said to my foster dad, she's pregnant.
Not long after that, I delivered seven beautiful babies. My foster parents kept the runt. My children's names are Robbie (M), Dakota (M), Kingston (M), Chiquita (F), Moonlight (F), and Lucy (F). Like most strays, there are multiple dads. My boy Robbie (M) is a leopard also. Dakota (M) is my biggest and sweetest (M), Kingston (M) has a lot of Boxer in him, Moonlight (F) has the shape of a moon pattern in her fur on her rear end, Chaquita (F) is a little girl, and her sister Lucy (F) is the tiniest. They both have German Shepherd features, including their ears standing up. Just super gentle like their brother Dakota. My children are so sweet and nervous around new people for just a few minutes. Then they realize you are ok. Happy babies are full of energy and life.
I am leary of men. It takes me some time to warm up. When a man speaks loudly or makes sudden movements, I become scared and cower down. But women are another story. I love to have women's attention. I am incredibly affectionate. I am intelligent and young. I love dogs and cats of all sizes. My foster family has two large-breed adult dogs (one a senior) and a bunch of cats, including eight kittens of all ages.
My ideal home would be active, with another animal or two. My foster dad taught me that men are good, caring people. I know I would do great with people and older children. I like car rides and pleasing you. I am treat oriented.
Please request an application, and I will begin my journey home to you. The first person to submit an application and a refundable deposit will be the first to be looked at to adopt me.
