Meet Estrella! She is a husky mix (possibly a little German Shepherd) who has quite the story to tell. She was first spotted in Tahoe City early in 2022, where she evaded capture for months until becoming so weak and injured that she was ultimately trapped. After that, she was treated at an area veterinary clinic, from which she escaped again. After being trapped a second time, Estrella was adopted into several homes but never found a good fit. She was almost feral and acting out, making her very difficult to place. In addition, she has an ocular condition called pannus that will require lifelong treatment to maintain the health of her eyes. In the late spring/summer of 2023, Estrella came to WARF. She was skittish and very fearful of noise and anything new. She found a foster home, where she slowly decompressed and began to trust again. Being around other dogs is essential for Estrella, but she has a strong personality and will need a family who is willing to work with her quirks. She is playful with the other young dog in her family but is mouthy like some Huskies can be and has to be managed on walks and hikes. Once she is comfortable, she has great house manners and rides well in the car. In spite of all that Estrella has survived, she has a very sweet nature and is willing to give us humans a second chance at being her friend!
