Meet Stella! Stella is a Dobermans X puppy who is around 4-months-old, a true sweetheart with the softest eyes and the silliest puppy personality. Found as a stray in Texas alongside her sister, this little survivor already has quite a story. Thankfully, the kind people who found them fell in love and are keeping her sister — and now Stella is headed our way to find her very own forever family. At just four months old, Stella is a total blank slate — moldable, eager to learn, and ready to grow into whatever kind of companion you’re dreaming of. She’s in that magical puppy stage: goofy zoomies one minute, sweet snuggles the next. She loves to play, explore, and soak up attention from her people. Stella is the perfect mix of silly and loving. She’ll keep you laughing with her puppy antics and then melt right into you when she’s ready for a nap. With guidance, structure, and lots of love, she’s going to blossom into an incredible lifelong companion. If you’re ready to shape a young pup into your perfect best friend, Stella is ready to start her journey with you. Apply today at www.uniteddobermanrescue.org
