Meet Stella!Stella is a 1.5 year old, 30 pounds black lab mix who is fully convinced she was designed to be a lap dog. If you sit down, Stella assumes that’s her cue. Personal bubble? Never heard of it.She is crate trained, house trained, and professionally talented at: Climbing directly into your lap like she’s been summoned; Flopping onto her back with dramatic flair; Collecting belly rubs as if they’re part of her daily job requirements. Stella is spayed and up-to-date with all her vaccines.Stella is energetic, wiggly, and wildly loving. Give her a toy and she’s your best friend for life. She plays hard, loves big, and can get a little mouthy when she’s excited — so she’d do best in a home with older kids who understand playful puppy energy and don’t mind a little extra enthusiasm. Stella did have a broken leg when she was a puppy that didn`t heal correctly, however it does not slow her down or cause her any problems. Now let’s talk personality. Stella prefers to be the star of the show. She would thrive as your one-and-only pup, soaking up all the attention. With thoughtful introductions, she would also do well with a calm, easygoing dog who’s happy to let her take the lead. Stella can be protective of her meals around other dogs. If she shares a home with another pup, she’ll simply need to be fed separately to keep everyone happy and stress-free. She would due best in a home with space to move, therefore apartment living wouldn`t be appropriate. Stella has energy to burn and would likely be happiest in a home with a yard or room to stretch those legs and get her zoomies out.Stella bonds deeply, loves fiercely, and brings full-body wiggles wherever she goes. She’s equal parts cuddle bug and chaos gremlin — and she’s ready for a family who appreciates both.Adopt Stella — because life is better with a dog who thinks your lap is home.To set up a meet and greet or inquire about a dog, please first fill out an application at https://savinghoperescue.org/adopt.
