This one-year-old bulldog would love to be the newest member of your family.

Stella is currently up for adoption at the Dubbo City Animal Shelter. She's just waiting for someone to give her lots of pats.

This dog is super friendly and loves to be around people.

ALSO MAKING NEWS:

But staff at the shelter haven't witnessed her around young children so thinks she would be best suited to a family with older kids.

The young pooch is very energetic and would need a lot of exercise with her new family.

Stella is a well-natured dog and would be an excellent pet.

To find out more information about Stella, or any other dogs currently up for adoption, please contact the friendly staff at the Dubbo City Animal Shelter on 6801 4640.

Or pop into the shelter from Monday to Saturday between 11.30am and 1.30pm.
