About Us
Stella, the Dog of the Day
Name: Stella
Age: Two years old
Gender: Female Breed: German Shepherd
Home: Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
 
   Stella is a beautiful and smart girl! When she wants to go on walks, she brings our shoes to us. She also opens doors, and grooms the cats! She's very sweet and loves vanilla ice cream!

    She is very affectionate, caring, and especially smart. Sometimes she can come off as rather aggressive to other people or dogs, but generally that only happens if they try to visit the house, as her German Shepherd genes are very prominent. She knows many tricks like fetching, retrieving, paw shakes with people, sitting, laying down, rolling over, playing dead, and jumping when told.

    She's rather aloof around strangers, but within the family is very affectionate and outgoing. She loves my father the most, and will lick his wounds if he happens to get hurt somehow. She also "preens" us and the cats - the way birds do, something like gently nibbling?

    We found Stella when she was about six months old at a Fresh N' Easy grocery store, she was abandoned but knew some tricks such as paw shake and sit. It's a miracle because at the time we had just begun going about adopting another female pure bred white shepherd puppy from a breeder in New Mexico. About two weeks after having adoption problems with the puppy (it was very aggressive, so the adoption did not work out) we found Stella - who was exactly what we were looking for! And the rest is happy history!
