AUSTIN, TX AREA ADOPTIONS ONLY

STELLA is absolutely “stellar” in every way you want your pet dog to be.  Sadly, she was found as a stray on a busy street and she quickly became a shelter dog.  She turned out to be a sheer delight when she found a foster home.  A calm and mellow “chiweenie” who is not aggressive to other dogs and humans passing by during walks.  Not sure about how she does with cats.  She loves her walks and is great on a leash.  Stella definitely loves playing fetch and has moderate energy.  Yet, she loves naps and will tuck herself under the blanket.  It is so fun to watch her do this.  Her foster mom is working on some weight loss for her (about 2-3 pounds), with daily walks and a controlled diet.  She knows basic commands like sit, come, down, and no.  She loves to follow her foster mom around and wants to be in her line of sight, except when she sees squirrels.  No frantic barking or chasing but just a hard stare.  Stella is super sweet, eager to please, and is house and crate trained.  Her chocolate brown coat is shiny and healthy.  Not a shedder.  It will be wonderful that she finds a forever home whereby the adopter/s loves walks and the outdoors, so that her weight loss can be maintained.
The adoption fee of $375 is for miscellaneous fees like the vet exam, microchip, rabies, dewormer, spay, heartworm prevention, and vaccines.

We prefer homes with a fenced backyard, children over 5, and a fenced pool if you have one.  Austin, TX area adoptions.  We will consider nearby cities.

Please be aware that we rarely have information on our dogs being good with cats as most of our foster homes don’t have them.
