🐾 Meet Stella! Your Future Couch Buddy, Professional Napper & Part-Time Celebrity! ❤️

Age: Approximately 8–9 years old
Breed: Boston Terrier mix (possibly a little Boxer or Bulldog in there, too!)

Weight: 42 lbs of pure love
📍Location: Downtown Edmonton

If you're looking for a low-maintenance, easygoing, people-loving companion who will happily brighten your day just by existing in the same room as you, allow me to introduce you to Stella! 🥰

Stella is the definition of a happy little wallflower. She doesn't need to be the centre of attention, but she'd very much like to be wherever the attention is happening.
🖥️Working from home? Perfect! Watching TV? Even better! Having a quiet evening? Stella has already claimed her spot and is probably halfway through her 14th nap of the day. 💤💤💤She's a professional sleeper, after all, and takes her job VERY seriously.

But don't let her laid-back lifestyle fool you. When her favourite humans come home, Stella transforms into a full-blown wiggle-butt, bouncing, absolutely-bursting-with-excitement celebration machine! 🎉

She may be perfectly content doing her own thing while you're away, but when you walk through that door, you better be prepared for a welcome-home party!

💕 Social Butterfly? More Like Social Snugglebug!
Stella seems to love just about everyone she meets. She's a friendly girl who enjoys being around people and soaking up all the good things life has to offer. Her preferred love language is gentle affection, soft pets, and simply being included.

🐕She's not really looking for a wrestling partner or someone to roughhouse with. Stella is more of a "How about we sit together and enjoy each other's company?" kind of gal.

🚸With children, she'd likely do best with those who understand that she's a gentle, mature lady who appreciates calm interactions. Kids who are swinging their arms around or playing a little too enthusiastically may be overwhelming for her, so respectful interactions and supervision would be important.

🐶 Friends, Felines & Other Four-Legged Roommates
Stella has lived in homes with other dogs and generally seems interested in meeting her canine neighbours. She can be a little more timid around larger dogs, so slow introductions and a compatible canine companion would be ideal.
She's not necessarily searching for a bestie to chase around the backyard all afternoon. Think less dog park party animal and more sharing the couch and minding our own business.
She's also seen cats 🐱🐱🐱at the local pet store and seemed perfectly content to acknowledge their existence before carrying on with her day. She hasn't shown much interest in them, but a proper introduction would be needed before confirming she's a good fit for a home with cats.

🚶‍♀️ A Little Fresh Air, Followed by a LOT of Relaxation
Stella enjoys her walks and spending a little time outside, but she's not looking for an adventure marathon or a personal trainer.

She's happiest when she can enjoy some fresh air, spend time with her people, and then head home for a well-deserved rest. 💤💤💤

She's also an excellent coworker! Stella has already been putting in shifts at a local vintage store, where she's become something of an overnight celebrity, complete with YouTube airtime. 💁‍♀️ Honestly, some dogs have Instagram accounts. Stella has a résumé.
She'd be a wonderful companion for someone who works from home or spends plenty of time around the house. While she's comfortable being left on her own, we think she'd absolutely thrive with a human who enjoys having a furry little shadow nearby.

💤 Bedtime? Stella Has a System.
When it's time to call it a night, Stella knows exactly where she belongs: snuggled up by your feet at the foot of the bed.
She's quiet, settled, and generally so easygoing that you'll sometimes forget she's even there. No need for constant entertainment or endless stimulation. She's perfectly happy just being part of your world.
She's the kind of dog who makes a house feel a little warmer simply by being in it.

🩺 A Little Note About Her Health 🏥
Stella is spayed and appears to be doing well overall. She's currently transitioning to a new food because chicken may be contributing to digestive issues and soft stools.
She's had some trouble with her anal glands, requiring them to be expressed, but her stool seems to be firming up with the new food, which is encouraging. Her digestive health and food sensitivities will need a little continued monitoring as she settles into her forever home.
