I’m Stella the super 6 yr old Shih-Tzu. I was found as a stray in Iowa with my sister. I was covered in mats and had a hard mammary tumor. Critter Crusaders took over my medical care and I’m now recovered from having 3 mammary glands removed and being spayed. 

My foster family says I’m Sweet, Stubborn, Sassy, Super, Snory, Spirited, Spunky, and Smart. I like other dogs, cats and rabbits. I’m very well rounded. My foster family doesn’t have any kids but I did go hang out with my 4 legged sister and there were young kids at her house and her mom said I did great. The older kids called me the chunky koala. I guess I kinda look like one.

 I have 4 legs but only 3 feet. I was more than likely born this way. It doesn’t slow me down I can get going and jog when I want. I love walks and do well on leash. I also love car rides!

I will require regular grooming so make sure I get my spa day every few months. I’m a diva and like to be pampered. I love to be around my family and have my belly rubbed. If you stop rubbing before I feel it’s time I will either paw you or tell you with my adorable talking that I do.
I know I’m too good to be true. 

My one quirk is food. I’m like Joey in Friends, “Stella doesn’t share food!!!” I want it all to myself including my treats. So if I have 4 legged family members I need to eat without them to close to me. 

If you are interested in meeting me fill out an application and my foster mom will be in touch.
