Story

Stella is the love of my life! She’s the perfect dog. We got her from family as a puppy. I raised her and love her so so much. She is now 3 years old. Although we love her so much, she is not getting the life she deserves. With a new baby and full time jobs, we don’t have the time or energy to put towards her. This is breaking our hearts but she deserves better. She will be great in a home with people who can play with her and give her attention. If you have other dogs, that’s a huge plus. Stella loves other dogs!

Story

Stella is 3 years old. We have had her since she was a puppy. She is a lab, white shepherd, hound mix with tons of energy! We are so sad to give her up but we have no time for her. It is not fair to her. She is well trained and loves her humans! Stella is the most loving dog and loves to be with other big dogs. She’s good with little dogs but they make her nervous like she might break them so she is soft with them. Stella is a great dog and will make a home with kids happy! Having another dog is a bonus for her!
