My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Stella – A Special Girl Looking for a Special Home  STOP!!! please make sure you read about Stella and her special needs bfore applying. When Stella arrived at PRBJ, she was in urgent need of medical care. Thanks to the dedicated team at Healthy Pets and the compassionate hands of Dr. Pinzon, Stella began her journey to healing. With a carefully tailored treatment plan — including daily allergy medications, steroids, antibiotics, and laser therapy — Stella’s skin and ear conditions began to improve. But that was just the beginning.A Fighter with a Gentle Heart Stella was also diagnosed with Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) — a condition that affects the spine and is common in French Bulldogs. It occurs when the discs between the vertebrae bulge or herniate, causing pain and mobility issues. Stella has trouble controling her hind legs at times and is also has incontinence due to this condition.   To help manage this, Stella receives ongoing chiropractic care and physical therapy with Dr. Dana at The Animal Cracker. Despite all she’s been through, Stella remains incredibly sweet and loving. She enjoys being near her people, gets along well with other dogs, and has a gentle nature that makes her a joy to be around.What Stella Needs Stella is looking for a calm, understanding home — one that’s prepared to meet her special needs with love and diligence. Her ideal home includes: No small children (due to her medical condition and need for a calm environment) Limited physical activity — no jumping off furniture or rough play Ongoing care for her skin, ears, and IVDD (medications, checkups, and therapy) Patience with potty accidents — her condition can make house training a challenge no stairs someone that works from home or gone very limited amount of time due to her incontinence no apartment living or shared walls - she is very vocal  Why Adopt Stella?  Because Stella is more than her medical needs. She’s resilient, affectionate, and full of heart. She deserves a second chance with someone who sees her not just as a dog with a condition, but as a loving companion with so much to give.
