I saw Stella on a rescue thread- she was the doppelganger of my beloved Rottie who crossed the rainbow bridge a decade ago. I offered to foster, and she quickly became a part of the family, officially making me a "Foster Failure" ;)This is Stella with her tiny friend, Waffles.She is the most gentle, sweet, loving girl. She loves and cares for her fur-siblings and fur-friends like a mama dog, and forces her abundant affection on any human she encounters!When she came to me, she had severe hip dysplasia on her right side, for which she had successful surgery.Unfortunately, she is still unable to frolic freely....she needs ACL surgery on her left knee.As you can see in this video, Stella's left leg bows out a bit, and she walks with a limp as she can not put much weight on it.She will walk short distances, but then has to lay down since she can't be on her feet for too long without a lot of pain.This is Stella's signature playing style--laying down!She loves playing with puppies and she is extremely gentle and sweet to all!Please help Stella walk pain free, and even better- jump, romp & run again! There is a big sloppy kiss waiting (from Stella, of course;) for anyone who is willing to help her do the simple things that a giant, furry ball of love should!Stella, Moby, Liesel, Howie, Bug and Sandra can not THANK YOU enough!!!
