About this Dog
Stella's been waiting far too long… As of June 3, 2025, Stella has spent 1,844 days in foster care—that’s over 5 years without a forever home. While her foster family has shown her love and patience, nothing compares to having a family of her own to snuggle up with each night. Stella is just over 10½ years old, and she originally came to PMAR as a puppy. Sadly, she was returned in May 2020 due to changes in her adopter’s living situation—and she’s been waiting ever since. She’s a sweet, shy girl who truly shines when she feels safe. Stella would do best as the only pet in the home, though she might be okay with a calm, dog-savvy cat. She's also incredibly smart—she knows “No” (begrudgingly), “Wait,” “Place,” “Down,” “Sit,” “Off,” and “Come.” Stella enjoys the simple pleasures: sniffy walks, sunshine, and a quiet spot to relax. She walks beautifully on leash and loves being outdoors. ✨ She deserves more than waiting. She deserves a home. Our animals are examined by a veterinarian, given age-appropriate vaccinations, de-wormed, microchipped, spayed or neutered, heart-worm tested, and treated if necessary. Vet references and a home/family visit are required, and an adoption fee applies. Transport options are available within our area of operation, including Pennsylvania, the tri-state area, and New England. Please note we do not adopt animals in Canada. Visit www.pmarinc.org for more information, and to fill out an application.

Adopt Stella and Receive Stella's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Stella's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Stella's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Stella, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Stella's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Stella was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Stella’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Stella’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Stella’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
