06/02/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Stella’s tail never stops wagging! Even while she’s resting, her tail is going a mile a minute…it’s quite adorable to see. I had the pleasure of meeting Stella this past weekend and she had lots of love for all of us. Stella went from one person to the next soaking up all the affection we had to give, then she showed us she can sit, and give both paws. Stella likes to play with squeaky toys and would bring them to us often. Stella is a real heart breaker. If you’re interested in giving Stella her forever home, come to the Care Center and meet her.
