Adopting a pup will always be a very noble act. I can’t even imagine the happiness a dog feels when he enters a warm home after spending countless nights on cold streets.

One pup felt exactly that. As soon as a woman who looked for a furry companion heard that there was a pup who was trying to survive life on the street, she knew she had to get her.

A Rough Past

Sadly, Stella was one of those dogs who wasn’t lucky enough to have a family who would take care of her. So, she had to do it herself.

Apart from searching for scraps in order to eat, this poor pup also had to look for shelter to keep her safe. However, having to sleep on trash bags was anything but safe…

Despite her tough luck, this adorable dog never lost hope, and she knew deep down in her heart that somebody will come and rescue her.

And, she was right! An incredible woman by the name of Heather Martin was searching for a furry member to add to her human family.

When a friend told her about Stella, she knew she had to meet her.

A co-worker shared with me about Pooches Out of Puerto Rico, so my husband and I looked into them. We fell in love [with Stella] instantly,” said Heather.

As soon as the two met, they clicked instantly. Heather described Stella as a “loving, sweet, playful, and curious super chewer who loves to be in the sun” and we are sure that Stella had some sweet barks directed at Heather, too.
