Stella

Stella

Animal ID No: ARF604
Rescue Date: 16 October 2020
Adopted Date: 2 November 2020

Stella is a bit of an enigma – just when you think she is comfortable something will pop up that makes her shut down again, but she is getting better at recovering and isn’t taking as long as she did when she first came into care.

Men seem to gain her trust quicker and teenage boys are just her thing. Women have to work a little harder but she makes it worth your time. She thinks dogs are the best and cats are just there to be ignored.

Stella will not be able to go to a home that she will spend her life outside, she’s done that already and has decided it’s not to her liking. She needs to be part of the family, not necessarily on your bed or on your couch, but in the lounge room while you watch television or on the floor in a comfy bed of her own beside yours. She is content to be outside while you are at work but would prefer to have access to the house (or even just a portion of it) 24/7.

Stella will also not be able to go to a home that is noisy and over the top; loud noises make her panic and shut down. She prefers a calm environment as she startles easily. This also means no young children – but teenagers are more than welcome as long as they will give her time and space to settle before wanting to play and cuddle.

Stella loves other dogs, but if she is to have a permanent housemate, they will need to be confident and calm. While Stella loves a good romp and run as soon as the other dog gets overly excited she panics and shuts down. (This is not a dog that will be happy at a dog park).

And to answer the frequently asked questions – Rain doesn’t seem to bother her, she’s not excited by water but she will stand in a clamshell of water to cool down after running around the yard, she is not a fence jumper, she’s not a nuisance barker, she is toilet trained and while she will sleep in her crate happily she does prefer the door doesn’t get closed. She loves car trips, she walks well on the lead and the only trick she knows is sit.

So if Stella ticks all the boxes for you, fill out the form to see if you tick the boxes for her.

'Rescued' is my favourite breed
