March 13, 2012 Need a gardening partner? Or a walking companion? Now that spring has sprung Stella is looking for a friend to be with since she loves the great outdoors. Her lower energy level makes her an easy companion.Her loveable and adaptable nature make her the perfect dog for most any household. Stella doesn't have a tail wag, she has a tail roundabout. I laugh everytime she gets excited cause her tail does full circles and she bounces around making a "woo-woo" noise, it's the most adorable thing you have ever seen. Every morning she bounces around the house so excited that another new day has started in a safe and loving home. I almost have her doing it on command, it cracks me up.
She has also perfected "the paw." When I am sitting on the couch and she wants some loving she will come over and start to paw at my hand asking for attention. For a shy dog it is quite the bold move. Estella is perfectly housetrained and has excellent house manners. I have left her free in the house for 8 hours and she has been perfect. Stella's only quirks are that she doesn't like thunderstorms (not destructive, just wants to hide and will find comfort in her crate during storms) and she becomes a bit nervous with change.
Stella is looking for someone who likes to meander around the yard. She will run around chasing squirrels and checking out all the smells in the yard but she also checks in on a regular basis to makes sure that her human buddy is till present. If you are someone who is looking for a buddy to hang with Stella may be the perfect dog for you.
Estella was the last of the seventeen dogs from the Crown Point hoarder case to leave the shelter. I am not sure how she got overlooked because she is very well adjusted and socialized given her background. She has been in my home only a couple of days and I can already tell that this girl just wants some lovin. She comes to me looking to be petted but very patiently waits her turn. The shelter tells me she loved to play in their fenced area with other dogs. I have not seen this behavior yet but she has been on lead since she has come in. So far she is spending her time catching up on her rest after being in the noisy shelter, and smelling around to learn what this whole living in a house and yard business is all about.
A fenced yard and canine companion would be a good bonus for Estella. This morning she saw a squirrel off in the distance and tried to make a break for it. Fortunately she was on lead and could only watch from a distance. Estella is crate trained and is working on house training. This poor girl has been bred at least once, possibly multiple times which gives her an older appearance than her 8 years.
