History
Stella was found roaming around the street of the city soon after New Year. She did not have an owner and she came into our care. From the very beginning, she proved to be calm, composed, and incredibly cooperative, even during stressful situations.
She recently visited the veterinarian for a full medical check-up, where she impressed everyone with her relaxed attitude. Stella remained calm throughout all procedures — including blood collection and ear cleaning — showing just how balanced and trusting she is.
She is a beautiful, elegant girl weighing around 30 kg and standing approximately 65 cm tall, with a graceful presence and gentle personality that immediately wins people over.
Personality
Stella is a calm, intelligent, and affectionate dog who handles new situations with impressive confidence and composure.
She is very people-oriented and enjoys human company, always paying close attention to what her humans are doing. At the same time, she has a wonderfully balanced energy — affectionate and friendly without being overwhelming.
Stella appears to enjoy the company of calm, well-mannered dogs. During introductions with two different dogs, she behaved politely and respectfully, happily walking together and sharing space without tension. Even when other dogs passed nearby, she remained relaxed and simply ignored them.
She walks beautifully on leash with no pulling at all, making every walk a relaxed and enjoyable experience.
Stella is also very smart and highly food motivated, which makes training easy and fun. She already seems to understand basic commands like “sit” and “come here”, and with her eagerness to learn, she will likely pick up new skills very quickly.
Overall, Stella is a balanced, gentle, and thoughtful companion who adapts well to new environments and enjoys peaceful companionship.
Behaviour Around Other Animals
Stella interacts politely with other dogs, especially those who are calm and balanced. She walks peacefully alongside other dogs and does not show interest in conflict or confrontation.
She seems happiest around dogs who respect personal space and who are not overly pushy or dominant.
Stella was also introduced to a room with multiple cats. At first, she showed little interest and focused more on exploring the space. After some time she calmly approached and sniffed the cats, passing them without issues. When one cat hissed at her, she became curious but slightly frustrated, so the interaction was ended to keep the experience positive.
Based on this, we believe Stella could potentially live with confident, dog-savvy cats, especially with proper introductions.
Behaviour Around Children
Stella has a calm and composed nature, which suggests she could live well with respectful children who understand how to interact gently with dogs.
But so far she never lived with children so we can not tell for sure.
Leash Behaviour
Stella has a calm and composed nature, which suggests she could live well with respectful children who understand how to interact gently with dogs.
Her balanced personality and patient attitude make her a lovely companion for a family environment.

Other Quirks
Stella may not have ears or a tail to show it, but she’s an expert in expressing love—despite her bold, unique look, she’s actually a total cuddle bug who leans in close and insists on being your gentle, oversized snuggle buddy.
Health status
Stella recently had a full veterinary examination.
Her 4DX and Giardia tests were negative, and her blood work results are excellent. We are currently waiting for the Brucella test results from Laboklin, which are expected in the coming days.
There is one small detail related to her recent spay surgery: a small area of the incision has not fully healed yet and developed a mild infection. She is currently receiving treatment and is being closely monitored by the vet, and she is recovering well. Once the wound is fully healed, this should no longer be an issue.
Like many Staffies, Stella also appears to have a mild sensitivity to certain food allergens, which currently causes some light scaling on her skin. The veterinarian recommended switching her to a hypoallergenic diet, which should easily manage this condition. We will also bathe her once the surgical wound has fully healed.
She is otherwise healthy, happy, and ready to continue her journey toward a loving forever home.
