Stella

Stella is a sweet 6-year-old Dachshund who has recently retired from her breeding career and is now eagerly searching for her loving forever home. Due to her past, Stella wasn't extensively socialized and will require a patient and understanding adopter to help her adjust to life as a cherished pet. Once she feels comfortable, her true sweetheart nature shines through, revealing a dog with plenty of spunk and a desire to learn how to play and interact.

As a Dachshund, Stella embodies the breed's characteristic courage and lively spirit. While she may be initially reserved, Dachshunds are known for forming strong bonds with their families. Her long coat will require moderate grooming with regular brushing to keep her looking her best. She would thrive in a home with another well-socialized, younger small dog who can help teach her the ropes of being a beloved companion and playmate.

Stella's ideal home will be one with a securely fenced yard, as this is a must-have for her safety and enjoyment. She is not suited for apartments, high-rises, or condos. Given the breed's typical temperament, a home without small children (under 11 years old) would be best. If you have experience with dogs, a lot of patience, and are ready to guide Stella on her journey to becoming a confident and happy family member, she promises to fill your life with love.
