Stella is a female boxer/heeler mix. She is 4 1/2 months old and UTD on her vaccines. Stella needs a VERY SPECIAL, PATIENT home!! Stella appears to have some abuse in her past puppy life and it has greatly affected her and how she trusts our humans hands! She needs alot of work with her social skills, and trusting our hands but she is VERY food motivated. If you rush her, she will snap at you so PATIENTS is very much needed. I have had her in my care for 2 weeks now and she now looks to me and relies on me to let her know people are ok, not all human hands will hurt her. When in a kennel she has aggressive behavior but that is her “safe” place. When she is scared she will run and hide to her kennel…do not stick your hand in there to pull her out or remove her until she comes out on her own. We are working on this area and she has improved a great deal. She LOVES treats and that is how she will continue to trust our human hands. She LOVES other dogs. She had never been around other dogs but the current foster dogs she has grown VERY fond of and follows their lead. She is kennel trained, and has been consistently let out and not had an accident in the house. Like I stated above she follows the other dogs and looks to them for what she is suppose to do and how is she suppose to be a dog outside of a kennel. The kennel was her past life and she now only spends time in the kennel at night or if we are gone during the day but she is mainly free from the kennel. She will curl up with you on the couch and lay there as long as you allow her too once she trust you. The love this young girl will give you and has to give is AMAZING. She just needs someone patient enough give her a few days to warm up to you. Everything has been at her own pace and I am impressed with how far she has come. She needs work with her basic manners, such as not jumping on you and such but that comes next.
