Tony and I were looking for a German Shepherd but we ended up with a Bull dog mix. We found the rescue groups way too difficult to work with. While we like their philosophy behind their method, it just did not work for us since the person who decided where the dogs were placed was the foster parent. The puppy we really like was being fostered by a woman that was way too attached to the puppy and was very discriminating against Tony and I and our dogs with their behavior. She did not listen to how we know our dogs will react. We started looking elsewhere and fell in love with this cute little bull dog/boxer mix puppy. We are pretty sure there is some pit bull in her as well.
Tony and I seem to not do anything in the proper order. We adopted Stella three days before we left for Savannah. I hated to have to take her to a kennel right away but it ended up working out really well. Stella was boarded at our vets office so she received all her booster shots she needed as well as her exam. Jack and Oscar went to their place for boarding and doggy daycare. It gave them a break from the puppy to help them adjust.
It took a few days but Stella is part of the pack now. She is such a sweet, submissive dog that Jack and Oscar needed. Potty training is going OK. She does not know how to ask to go out but understands she should be going outside. Tony and I just love her and are so happy she is part of the family. Our house is back to being crazy with animals and I would not have it any other way. Stella is just over four months old right now and in the last two weeks already put on 5 pounds. She weighs in at 33 pounds and is expected to get between 50 and 70.
