She’s housebroken and crate trained, and has very moderate energy.   Stella has always lived with a senior couple. She hasn’t got to experience a lot of things out in the world. But is already very well behaved on a leash and knows some basic commands.   Stella is not a Barker; she’s a common Peaceful companion dog who would be happy to be the only dog in the home. She did live with 2 other Aussies for five years, but we’re thinking that Stella deserves to have all the attention to herself for  awhile.   Stella loves to be petted and scratched, she’s interested in new things in the backyard, but doesn’t have any prey drive. Stella won’t make a really nice leisure-walking Companion.   Stella and her siblings were living with a senior couple and when the husband passed away, the wife reached out to us because the dog-care had always been her husband’s responsibility and she wasn’t sure what to do with 4 dogs alone. if you’re interested in applying for Stella, please complete the application on our website below Then text Kevin: 469-623-3999   So he can check your app! www.dashdog.org General Info - PLEASE READ! *Our $450 adoption fee is based on the cost of rescuing, transporting and vetting each dog; we do not try to compete on prices with municipal shelters whose funds are paid by the city. Our philosophy is to rescue highly adoptable dogs, have them live kennel-free in private homes for temperament assessments and individual personalities. We work hard to match EACH dog with the right family - kids or no kids, other dogs male or female and/or cats. With very rare exceptions all dogs over 6 months will be spayed or neutered PRIOR to adoption - dogs under 6 months will include a spay/neuter date AND referral info for lower-cost surgery if the adopter does not choose to use her or his personal vet. OUR VETS WILL NOT PERFORM SPAY NEUTER SURGERIES UNTIL DOG IS 6 MONTHS OLD.  Please READ ALL of our info below BEFORE SENDING APPLICATION. Our goal is to help our puppies and dogs find FOREVER HOMES AND FAMILIES, NOT TO MAKE IT PROHIBITIVE FOR YOU TO ADOPT. However, once we review the application and contact you, we MEET TO ADOPT, so please let us know if you are ONLY APPLYING TO STAY ON FILE or THAT YOU ARE READY TO ADOPT, for the consideration of our puppies and dogs and families who know the time is right!

We REQUIRE ALL adopters to wear a mask & gloves when picking up their pet, to insure that everyone is protected from unknowing exposure to COVID-19. THERE WILL BE ZERO ACCEPT IONS MADE.   July 25, 2025, 5:22 pm
