The profound impact of love should never be underestimated.
Stella’s journey began amidst the bustling streets of Atlanta, Georgia, where she was discovered, a forlorn figure abandoned by her owner. Her past was marred by cruelty and neglect, leaving her deeply scarred and distrustful of humans.
Rescued by compassionate souls from LifeLine Animal Project, Stella was given a second chance at life. Despite her initial trauma, they refused to give up on her, partnering with Fly With Me Animal Rescue to provide her with shelter and care until she could find a loving home.
Stella’s Heartbreaking Past
Then, fate intervened in the form of Krista Keough, who stumbled upon Stella’s photo on social media. Strangely, it mirrored a dream she had the night before, leading her to believe it was destiny that brought them together.
Their bond was immediate and profound. Stella, once wary and distant, nestled into Krista’s arms as if acknowledging her new role as her guardian. Together, they embarked on a new chapter of their lives.
In the safety of Krista’s home, Stella slowly began to heal. Initially cautious, she eventually forged a deep friendship with Krista’s other dog, Apollo. Through patience and unwavering love, Stella’s playful spirit emerged, though remnants of her past still haunted her.
Healing Journey
Inspired by Stella’s resilience, Krista penned a book, “Dear Diary, it’s me, Stella,” to shed light on the plight of rescue dogs and celebrate their indomitable spirit.
