Stella was found on a rural road in North Carolina.  She waited and waited, but her person never came to claim her.  Stella is extremely active and does not like to be cooped up in a cage.  However, once she is out of a cage or in a home, she is very eager to please and playful.  Because she is mostly untrained and active, we would recommend no families with babies or small children. Will you be the person to give Stella the family she has never known?
