Stella is a young, easy going, and eager pup ready to play and go out on long walks with you. She is very social, gets along with other dogs and is friendly with humans. Stella is attentive, confident, and offers plenty of kisses and an adorable gaze. Stella is accepting of crate time when needed and waits to be outside for potty time; to entertain herself, her favorite toy is a squeaky hard plastic shark and chasing a ball out in the backyard.  Bonus Facts: LOVES other dogs and lives with another dog currently Sleeps through the night in her crate Is always happy Loves long walks and sniffy walks Enjoys playing fetch Food motivated and very smart - would excel in training  Knows her name! Her favorite toys are chew toys or study plushies (like Tuffy brand) Medical: Stella is heartworm positive, but this Lucky Dog got extra lucky! This pup is part of a groundbreaking study we are conducting at our South Carolina Rescue Campus that has the potential to change the way shelters across the United States treat heartworm positive dogs.  All dogs in the study are placed at random in either the 2 shot or 3 shot protocol with strictly monitored protocols in place. Four weeks following their final injection, the pups are eligible to transport to the DC area for placement in foster or adoptive care.  After treatment concludes, we work with adopters to arrange a free follow up heartworm test after 6 months, followed by a second test at 9 months. We are happy to discuss this treatment and which phase of the study this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left! Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.  TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment.  If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online at bit.ly/adoptaluckydog Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption.
