🐾 Stella – The Goofy Genius!
📍 Age: 18 months old | 🐶 Gender: Female | 🎨Color: Mantle Great Dane | Fixed: Spayed & Tacked
Stella has been decompressing in her foster home for the last few weeks.
Stella is a smart, playful, and affectionate young Dane looking for her forever home! This big, beautiful girl has a great foundation in training—she knows sit, stay, and lie down, and she’s crate-trained. Highly food-motivated, Stella learns quickly and is eager to please. She’s a loyal companion who loves being near her people.
Stella gets along well with the two older male Danes in her foster home and enjoys playing with their younger male. However, due to a history with a female dog in her original home, she may thrive best as the only dog, soaking up all the love and attention.
Goofy and full of personality, Stella entertains herself with toys and will keep you laughing with her silly antics. She has not been destructive and would love a home where she can be an active part of daily life.
Could Stella be your perfect match?
