Stella

Arrival story: Stella was dropped off at Animal Control in a box with her three sisters. Little information was known about these gals, but it seems they were not fed or socialized. Based on her current size and guessed breed, she should be about 20-30 pounds when full grown.

Approximate age: 11-12 weeks

Personality: Stella had gained status as leader of the pack among her sisters. When she came to her foster mom's house, she was thrilled to find out she didn't have to be leader anymore and carry all that weight on her shoulders! Stella is sweet, super trainable and eager to please. She is not food motivated, and would rather receive praise and a good ear scratching. She has learned that cats are ok and not something to be scared of. She loves children and is very gentle with them.

January 19th update: Socialization is going very well for Stella. She explores outside and throughout her foster home without fear. The vacuum doesn't bother her and she likes to sleep with the radio on. Housetraining is going well with Stella - she whimpers when she needs to go out. She sometimes gets distracted about going outside and would like to get some attention from the kids on her way out... accidents happen. Her foster mom is going to start leash training Stella to help her to stay focused. She is a smart pup and will catch on quickly! Stella likes to romp around with her sisters as much as she likes sitting in someone's lap. She is very sweet and snuggly.

Forever home: Stella will need a patient home that can introduce her to all the things she has never experienced. She is eager to please and curious, and would make a wonderful companion to someone that can spend time with her.

Puppies are sweet and may catch your attention. A puppy is a huge commitment that the whole family must be ready for. They will be a perfect fit in any home that is eager for the work that comes with a puppy and has the patience for the potty training, the chewing :) and obedience training. These puppies will be ready for their homes on January 28th. If you are interested, please go to our website for an application.

Waggin' Tails Adoption Information: Waggin' Tails Dog Rescue has a standard adoption fee of $175, $275 for small breed dogs or $200 for puppies plus a $50 deposit which is returned upon proof of spay/neuter at six months of age. Our adoption process includes an application, vet reference checks, and a home visit.

We do not have a facility; all of our dogs are fostered in private homes. To view our dogs, please check
www.waggintailsdogrescue.org for the dates of our next adoption events. With few exceptions, we show our adoptable animals on Saturdays from 12pm - 3pm at Petco in Novi (on Novi Rd south of 12 mile) or PetSmart in Canton (the northwest corner of Ford Rd and Haggerty Rd). Arrangements can be made to meet our rescue dogs outside of Saturday adoption events after an approved application is submitted (the application does not imply an obligation by the applicant or by the rescue group).

Please be kind to our volunteers who have made rescue a second job that they do in their spare time after coming home from full-time jobs. E-mail inquiries will be answered much more quickly than phone inquiries; our phone number is a voice mailbox only.

Thank you for your support of rescue and your interest in a rescue dog!
