Adopt: Starlight
🐾 Meet Starlight (“Stella”) – A Gentle Soul Ready to Shine 💫
📍 Haslett, MI | 🎂 6.5 years old | ⚖️ 74 lbs
Meet Starlight, lovingly known as Stella — a petite, delicate Berner with the softest spirit and the sweetest little “smile.” She’s still learning how to “dog,” but what she may lack in confidence, she more than makes up for in gentle love and devotion.
Stella is incredibly affectionate and adores her people. She’ll politely block your path for pets, happily join in when others are getting attention, and gently remind you that she deserves a little love too. One of her most special traits? Her hugs — she’ll slowly climb up and rest her paws on your shoulders, soaking in every second of closeness. 💛
She has a playful, silly side too — especially when it snows! Watching Stella roll around and enjoy the moment is pure joy.
🐾 Stella’s Highlights
Fully house trained — no accidents
Gets along wonderfully with other dogs
Cat neutral (completely uninterested)
Gentle and great with teenagers
Loves affection and being close to her people
Learning and adjusting beautifully to home life
🌿 Her Personality
Stella is shy at first, especially with new people and men, and can be startled by sudden noises. She may retreat or observe from a distance, but with patience and gentle reassurance, she blossoms into the most loving companion.
She isn’t food motivated and is still learning to take treats, play with toys, and navigate everyday household routines — but she’s making steady, brave progress every day.
🏡 The Perfect Home for Stella
Stella is looking for a calm, patient home where she can continue to build confidence at her own pace.
A quiet environment with gentle, understanding humans
Slow introductions to new people
A family who will celebrate her small wins
Another respectful dog would be a bonus, but not required
She prefers to stay close to her people and has not shown interest in escaping, though supervision is always important.
💛 A Love Worth Waiting For
Stella is the kind of dog who quietly changes your life. She may take a little time to open up, but once she does, she will give you a kind of love that is pure, gentle, and deeply loyal.
If you’re ready to offer patience, kindness, and a safe place to grow, Stella is ready to shine in your home. 💫🐾
