Meet Stella. 💕
At just 3.6 lbs and approximately 4 years old, this tiny girl has a whole lot of love waiting to be given. Stella comes to us from Austin Animal Center after being found as a stray.
This tiny angel has some boo-boos that show she’s had some rough times in her life. One of her eyes is scarred, undersized, and she is most likely blind in her right eye. One of her little tootsies is missing its nail, and her little tail has given her a lot of trouble. It had nerve damage, caused her pain, and she continued to chew on it, eventually leading to infection. Thankfully, Stella has now had her partial tail amputation and is DONE with her surgeries! 🩷 Her tail stitches will be removed on September 8, and then this little girl will officially be ready to put all of that behind her.
Stella is incredibly sweet but a little shy at first. She warms up quickly, though, and once she feels safe, she desperately wants to be loved. 🥹 She has the softest fur, gets along beautifully with other dogs, and is mostly potty trained.
Stella has the cutest little bursts of playfulness. She loves to fetch her toys and then proudly carry them off to hide them in her bed. 😂 Once playtime is over, she’s ready for the important stuff—crawling into your lap, burrowing under a blanket, and snuggling up as close as possible.
Stella is skittish around loud noises and quick movements, so she would do best in a quiet home without small children. She really loves her people and deserves someone who is equally obsessed with her.
Stella has been through enough. Now she just needs someone who will show her that she is safe, loved, and finally home. ❤️🐾
📍 Stella is located in Austin, Texas
If you’re looking for a tiny companion with a huge heart, a soft spot for blankets, and a tendency to hide her toys in bed… Stella may be your girl. ❤️
