Stella

Profile

Hello RAGOM fans! Meet Stella. 3 year old Stella made the long trip from a puppy mill in Arkansas last night and is pretty scared. She can't walk through a door unless my resident dogs go first. She freezes when approached but she will approach me for pets. She stops about a foot away and stretches her head into my hands. She has been creeping low to the floor around the house exploring. So far she won't eat unless I feed her by hand. Her teeth are in very bad shape and her gums are swollen so I am softening the food. Stella also came with a bad infection in both her eyes so she is on antibiotic eye drops for that. She has fleas that have bitten her tail pretty raw in places but has been treated for the fleas. Stella has had one bath but needs another to get the kennel smell out of her. She is a sweety!
 
Stella slept well in her crate. This morning she actually jumped around outside, play bowed to my resident Skye and sprinted a short distance around the yard. She is a gentle girl and I think she will come around quickly with lots of love. She will need to be spayed before she is available for adoption. More as we get to know her.
