Estrella is a delightful little lady who has been failed by humans over and over again. As just a young pup, this little lady made her first trip to animal services with her mom and several siblings. The entire family received their first round of medical care on this visit. When their family came to claim them, the entire family was returned. Unfortunately, this pattern continued over the next eight months. Estrella and some members of her family would be picked up by animal control, brought into the shelter, given some basic care, and returned to her family. Finally, after six months of this cycle, animal services decided that Estrella had been through this cycle enough. She deserved a family that would love her, care for her, and provide her with the love and safety all dogs deserve. Although the shelter had good intentions and hoped to find Estrella an incredible family that would cherish her, with numbers at critical capacity, Estrella didn't have much time to find the right match. When we learned that this girl was moved to the list to be euthanized, team MAGSR stepped in and welcomed Estrella to the family. 

Little Miss Estrella - our "little star" - is a friendly, wiggly, young girl. Still very much a baby, this girl is energetic, goofy, and full of puppy antics. She is hoping to find an active household that will continue to socialize her with people and other animals. As is true of all GSDs, daily exercise for her body and her mind will be critical to her success. The combination of regular socialization and exercise will help Estrella develop the skills necessary to become a good canine citizen. We do not know a lot about Estrella's past. However, Estrella has had the opportunity to live with foster families while waiting to find her forever home which has given us a chance to learn more about this lovely little star. Starting to learn the ins and outs of living in a home, Estrella loves soft beds, endless snuggles, and a variety of toys. She is adjusting to crate training and is housebreaking nicely. However, as is true of all new dogs, our little star will need some time and patience to adjust to the expectations of her forever family. Estrella will thrive when provided with structure, routine, and leadership. Living with several other dogs in her foster home, Estrella has done very well with several different personalities. She is flexible, playful, and excited to engage with her furry family members. It is critical that Estrella continue to socialize with other furry friends in controlled environments to maintain her skills. As a dog that was picked up several times by animal control, Estrella is considered a flight risk dog. Her family will need to take precautions to ensure she is safe as she adjusts to her forever home. Keeping Estrella on leash when out and about will be key to her success as she learns the rules and boundaries within her forever home. Training will also go a long way with Estrella. Not only will it help her create a strong and healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop into a stable and confident adult. 

Affectionate, snuggly, and clearly social, this girl is looking for a soft place to land. If Estrella sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet this little love today!
