Message for “Name a Dog” donation:
We had our beloved Stella until she succumbed to her kidney disease. She endured many IV treatments and life prolonging procedures – she was a fighter! In the end, she was tired and we had to let her go. We would like to honor her by giving another “fighter” her name and her will!

Stella is doing great at her foster home. When she first arrived at the end of March, she was very thin and was recovering from a bad case of kennel cough. Stella has fully recovered and will be getting spayed soon. She will have some mammary lumps removed when she is spayed. Stella has been eating well and is gaining weight. She is not comfortable with the crate, but does fine when left alone with free run. Stella has learned her name and some basic commands. She does have a very high prey drive, so would do best in a home without cats. Stella has been wonderful with all of the people she has met. She is a very sweet and loving girl. Stella will be ready for adoption after her upcoming surgery in a few weeks.

Stella was found as a stray and was picked up by the shelter in WV with a smaller dog. She is estimated to be around 4-5 years old. Stella did well with other dogs at the shelter. She does not have a history around cats or young children. She just arrived at her foster home in Maryland and is settling in well.
