Story
Estelle is new to the rescue and we will update her bio as we learn more about her. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out an application.  We do allow out of state adoptions and any transport costs are at the expense of the adopter.  If you have further questions about this dog, please email us at ccradopt@gmail.com and someone will be in touch as soon as possible. Please note we are unable to hold dogs for adopters as this ties up valuable foster homes. Please understand that we are an all volunteer group and we have jobs outside of this organization.  We do our best to provide quick responses but occasionally they are a little slower.  If you do not receive a response in 48 hours, please resend to make sure it's received. ##2678309##

Story
🐾 Stella – 5-Year-Old Mountain Cur / Shepherd Mix 🐾 It breaks my heart to rehome Stella due to severe allergies. I can’t keep her in the house, and it’s not fair for her to be kenneled. Stella is calm, well-behaved, and loving. She’s past the puppy phase and makes an easy, loyal companion. She enjoys being around people and will happily relax by your side. She knows basic commands and fun tricks like sit, shake, high five, and roll over! ✔️ Potty trained ✔️ Not destructive ✔️ Good with kids and dogs ✔️ Loves to cuddle She has a short coat and does shed (manageable with brushing). She eats Rachel Ray Nutrish Chicken & Veggies with Pedigree wet food and enjoys pig ears and Beggin’ Strips. Not spayed and not up to date on vaccines, so she may need a vet visit. She deserves a loving home with space, care, and attention where she can feel comfortable and included. A small rehoming fee applies to ensure a safe home 🤍
