Stella

My story

Say hello to Stella, a 4-year-oldish, 45 pound Terrier mix with the soul of a southern belle and a spirit that shines brighter than the Louisiana sun she came from. Despite life throwing her a few curveballs—Stella has only three legs and is heartworm+, she hasn’t let that dim her loving heart one bit. Stella is the definition of resilience. She gets around just fine on three legs and greets every new day (and every new person!) with a tail wag and a hopeful look in her eyes. She adores cuddles, leisurely strolls, and curling up by your side for a good nap. Her favorite place to be? Wherever you are. Stella is house-broken and absolutely perfect in a crate. Given Stella's breed mix, she has a strong prey-drive so she would do best in a home with no small animals including small dogs. Stella is not spayed but can be spayed after her heartworm treatment which the rescue will cover the cost of both the spay and HW treatment. She’s looking for a special family who can offer her the patience and love she deserves—and she’ll give it back tenfold. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a dog who will inspire you daily with her strength, sweetness, and unwavering trust, Stella might just be your perfect match. Come meet this tri-pawed treasure and let her show you what unconditional love really looks like.
