VELMA

Boxer Mix

Female, DOB 3/12/25 Truly a Pieces. 

This sweet- smushy faced mutt was brought to us December 7th. We are her 3rd stop on a journey that started with animal control, stopped at a home that wasn't ready for her smoke and finally, landed here, at Stellas Rescue. Honestly, she needed about 2 weeks to fully rage around the farm before she could calm down. Now that she has burned her reserves, she is ready to find a home. A home that doesn't just "tolerate her energy" but matches it. *She hates cats and would be perfect in the home of one of the many "I can't have cats, I'm allergic" homes we hear about. 

Marshal

Male 

Malinois 

Birthday: January 6, 2025 (ish? Animal Control estimate)

Don't worry, he's not a narc but he is a very good boy. Not suggesting you should train him to sniff out your friends drugs but it would be really good enrichments for him if you did (and a great party trick). Marshal came to us from Animal Control, and according to his intake papers, he came in smelling like pepper spray. So, maybe he was a narc? Anyway, nothing makes you feel like more of a badass than walking around with Marshal, who is exceptional on a leash. His only fault is he will give you an inflated ego in regards to your dog training ability. It's not you, it's him, he's just super smart. 

Buxton

Boxer

Male

Birthday: July 15, 2025

Is he goggly eyed? Yes. Is he stinky? Also, yes. But you know what he isn't? A snitch.

No one is better at keeping secrets than this guy. You can talk to him all day- every day and he will never get tired of it. He loves long walks on the beach. He doesn't know it yet, because he's never been, but you could change that. 

He is also deaf. But he doesn't know that either. 

​

Update: Buxton is deaf. I retyped that so you would re-read it. This means he can't hear you, or anything else. In order to enjoy Buxton, you need to be a "boxer person" and a "deaf dog person"

Butter

Pitbull 

Female

Birthday: 09/20/2023 Virgo fo sho

LOLOLOLOL Only just realizing Butter is a Virgo and that tracks so hard. Never, in the history of animal domestication, has a dog adapted to more clearly express their displeasure with a situation. What does this mean? It means you are literally adopting the personality of a sassy 13 year old female who just had her TikTok deleted. Except, Butter is hilarious and not terrifying. Example: Butter was put back in her spacious commercial kennel to give the attention-stealing-puppy time to romp. She locked eyes with me and flipped her water bowl in the air, without breaking eye contact. Now, this may not seem like much but she knew exactly what she was doing. She has more emotional intelligence than the United States government combined. All she wants to do is sleep on your sofa, eat your snacks and provide occasional feedback. She's still young, overbred and tired of our bullsh*t. Will you be Butters forever sofa? 

Cricket (Scatter)

Terrier Mix (Some kind of Heeler in there somewhere)

Female

Age: 4 years? Not sure but def gemini cause she and Clover are #twinning

Definitely the scared side of the sister coin, this little Cricket came to us on St. Patricks Day. She was with her sis, Clover, at Rowan Animal Shelter. Apparently it was a hoarding case, so there are probably more of these scared little cuties. Which acts as a great time to remind, much like human children, *just because they are cute and you can - doesn't mean you should make more of them*. Cricket chills in the corner of our kennels and scatters when you walk in. As I type this, we have hit the 3 month mark and she is the most "shut down" dog we have (and have had) in our care. You can pet her but she doesn't love it (which, same). It's going to take someone v special to ass drag her out of her shell but if Bert found Ernie, Cricket can find her own ray of grey to love <3 If you aren't super special, don't bother. We're like, really good at this, and we haven't managed to chink the armor. 

Clover (Skitter)

Terrier Mix (Heavy on the Heeler)

Female

Age: 4 years? C&P Cricket

The Skitter to Crickets - Skatter. This girl isn't hiding in any corners. She is, however, chewing my husbands heels off at every opportunity. Much to the comedic satisfaction of all who witness. She doesnt like, bite, she meerly heards, as any good heeler-terrier would. Clover is a busy body whome enjoys the fact that she is the only animal in the rescue, actually, on the entire farm, whom has full autonomy to choose where she wants to be at all times (in or outside). Why? Because she will bark like her souls caught fire if you try and "trap" her by just shutting the door while she is inside. She will follow you like you bathed in hotdog water and will even give you kisses like a desperate mistress but if you try and touch her, she gone. So, just to recap: Cricket- you can touch but she's not gonna leave her corner. Clover- will touch you but you can no touchy. *We're assuming they are going to be with us for a while and accepted this fate when we pulled them from euthanasia.
