20 Jan Happy Tail for Stella!
I met Stella (previously known as Sugar) in March 2012. She was an extremely nervous puppy and was terrified of everything around her. She cowered and hid from everything and everyone. I was told that she was a stray puppy picked up in Oklahoma and was deemed “unadoptable” due to her unsociable behavior. I was also warned that due to her rough past, Stella might never act like a normal puppy, or adult dog for that matter. Even though Stella wasn’t the playful dog I envisioned adopting, I couldn’t resist her weary but hopeful face.
It’s been almost two years since I brought that scared, adorable little girl home and she is grown up to be a wonderful and happy girl. She loves playing with other dogs and enjoys regular outings to PetSmart and dog parks. She lights up the second she sees another dog and seems to forget all of her hesitation. She’s still very weary of new situations and can be quite the watchdog at home but is getting much more comfortable with new people when we’re out and about. She also enjoys regular trips to my parent’s farm and chases birds for hours on end.
Stella has made huge strides in the last two years and is now 75lbs. of love. She is truly my best friend and I’m so grateful she was given a second chance by 4 Luv of Dog.
