Stella and her two sisters came to our rescue after their former owners surrendered them to us. The owners were what is known as "backyard" breeders, those who illegally and without a license bred and sell puppies. This family only bred Bulldog puppies and were thought to be selling them to known dog fighters. In January 2022, the same family surrendered a litter of 6 Bulldog puppies that had contracted parvo. We were able to save four of the six. While Stella never displayed any signs of having parvo, her two sisters did and, unfortunately, one of her sisters passed away. Stella and her remaining sister, Sadie, are now in excellent health and thriving.

Stella is a very playful and friendly pup. She and her sister play very well together but we do have to separate them when they eat. Our staff is working on ending their food aggression towards each other and this should be something that can be easily corrected. Other than that typical puppy behavior, Stella is an ideal and near perfect pup. She will grow to be a large dog who will need ample room to run and play.

Stella has received all of her first year "puppy" vaccinations, been de-wormed and treated against parasites. She's also been started on her monthly preventatives. Her adopter will agree to having Stella spay once she reaches 6 months of age and provide proof of such to our rescue. She will require all of her basic training.
