Guess what? We have a MONDAY surprise for you! 🐶
A Tale of a Tail!
Things have been a bit hectic, but we’re finally starting to relax. is a place for anyone and anyone who deserves a loving home! As you know, we rescued a few pups in the past few weeks - there’s NALA from SEACCA, whom we found on her euthanasia date, and BRUNO MARZ (formerly SIMBA), from Harbor Shelter. While we were busy finding a foster or a place for them, there was a secret mission going on behind the scenes.
Meet STELLA ⭐️!! She’s the sweetest and most intelligent 12-week-old puppy!
It’s an interesting story about how we got this amazing girl! We first saw her posted by another rescue who was looking for help taking her into rescue. We reposted her to see if we could find a foster to help. Liz was especially keen on helping Stella because she looked like a mini version of her dog, Hailey Ann the Alien 👽! Liz wanted to go pick her up herself - but, if we let her, then this pup would just be another one of our pack members, and we all knew she deserved much more in her young years! (If Liz could keep every dog, then she would!)
Anyway, a foster stepped up who lived near where this puppy was located. Our amazing ADOPTER of Celine ( Orneles and her Madre Maria) stepped up to the plate and said they would foster this little jellybean! We were so excited; however, we were on a tight deadline to sort out the details because of a few other things we had going on. Blanca reached out to the rescue who posted her, who in turn connected her with the original poster. Still following me?

So, guess what? The poster turned out to be the tenant of an older couple who left this poor dog outside. She was filthy, flea-ridden, and malnourished, and of course, she didn’t have any vet care. The owners were contacted about us being interested in taking this sweet little fluffball into our rescue. And here’s the funny part: they wanted $300 for her! Can you believe that? They wanted her gone, but since we were interested, they thought they’d sell her. Blanca, our friend, played the role of a mediator between us and the owners. We were firm in our decision to give him $50 for her, and not a penny more. We don’t need any more dogs, and clearly, we were doing him a favor by getting this pup into a safe place. We gave him until the evening to decide, or else we were going to give her $0. And guess what? When you take a stand and believe in your convictions, you end up winning! Mind you, we’ve only “bought” dogs twice before this (I’ll give you a recap of those two situations in the near future). The owners had the audacity to tell Blanca that, “we’d better take care of her!” WHAT? What reality am I in right now?
So, here we are, with a fluffy little bundle of joy who is thriving in her foster home. Stella has three foster siblings who are teaching her the ropes, and our foster moms are teaching her tricks, manners, and commands! She’s barely 13 weeks old and already knows “sit,” “down,” and she’s fully potty-trained!
When Stella arrived, she got a bath, a flea dip, and went for her first vet appointment. They did some deworming, microchipping, blood work, a SNAP Test, and vaccinations. Turns out, she tested positive for Polymerase Chain Reaction and Cryptosporidium. Both diagnoses sound scary, but they’re not. It’s just a matter of monitoring and being extra careful about picking up her stool. Stella will be rechecked in a couple of weeks. Once she’s cleared, she’ll get more vaccinations and in a few months, she’ll be spayed. After all her vet care, Stella will be ready for adoption!
We’ll keep you posted on Stella’s health and the vet care she needs. In the meantime, we’d really appreciate it if you could donate to her care. We’ve already spent $325 on her first vet visit, and our foster has been super generous by covering Stella’s supplies and food. As you know, things don’t always go as planned, and we’ll need to keep our foster stocked up and paying for vet care. If you can, please donate!
