Stella Luna

My story

Hi, I’m Stella Luna—a 9-year-old black and white Husky with soft brown eyes and a heart that’s still learning how to feel safe again. I was rescued from a shelter where I felt so lost and sad. I still carry some of that sadness with me, especially around men—I’m very wary of them. I’d do best in a calm, quiet home with a kind, patient woman who understands that healing takes time. I do really love other Huskies, though. If there’s another dog in the home, that would make me feel so much more secure—I take comfort in their presence and often follow their lead. Even with all my fears, I’ve never growled, snapped, or shown any signs of aggression. I just want to be good. I remember a time when I was, and I try so hard to be that girl again. I know how to sit, and I love playing fetch in the yard. I’ll gently nudge you for pets and lean into you, but I prefer scritches on my back or shoulders instead of my head—I hope that’s okay. Walks are one of my favorite things. I don’t pull much and I understand what “come on” and “leave it” mean. I’ll stay by your side—unless something really interesting catches my nose! I’m strong, so sometimes I need a little patience when I’m stuck on a scent. When the walk ends, I sometimes hesitate to go back inside—especially if a man goes in first. It’s just one of those things I’m still working through. I love my crate and I’m fully housebroken. I’m still unsure about getting up on furniture—I want to so badly, but something deep inside makes me feel like I’m not allowed. With time, I think I could learn that comfort and love are meant for me, too. All I truly want is someone to help me believe I’m a good girl again. Someone who will love me just as I am, ghosts and all, and help me feel safe and whole. If you have a quiet home and an open heart, I’ll be the most loyal, gentle companion you could ever ask for.
