Original: Stella is a tiny bundle of love. She is about the size of a large cocker. She weighs 32 pounds. She is VERY shy and takes a little while to decide that you are ok, once she decides that, she is your best friend. She will growl at you until she feels comfortable with you. She has not snapped or acted aggressive in any other way toward people. She is also not sure of new dogs and will show her teeth and growl until she figures out that the dog is acceptable. We will be looking for a home for Stella that does not have small children or cats. We would prefer a quieter home without a lot of unknown people coming and going. Stella will occasionally submissively urinate when she is frightened.
Stella came to MAESSR because she would growl at the neighborhood children that liked to play in her yard. The children continuously tried to play with her. Her owners were afraid that she was going to bite one of the children so they relinquished her to us.
Stella really wants to be a lap dog. She is small enough to be a great one. She likes to get on furniture and sleep in the bed.
Is your lap ready for this little girl?
Update: Stella found that lap that she has been looking for.
