After falling in love with Stella, a pit bull puppy up for adoption at a local pet supply store, the late Valley resident made the decision to change the negative narrative of the bully breed one dog at a time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meeks founded Stella\u2019s Rescue Rehab, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) since 2019, that advocates for pit bulls through education, rescue and adoption to bring awareness to the breed\u2019s loving nature and ultimately break the stereotypes around pit bulls.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together, Meeks and Stella started the concept that the world knows as Incredibull Stella, wrote a book, traveled across the U.S. and were guests on multiple TV and radio shows. Soon, the story of how Stella\u2019s loving and nurturing character rescued a family began to change the lives of pit bulls and dog owners around the world.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, Incredibull Stella has over 100,000 followers on social media and has rescued upwards of 600 dogs through its unique one-dog-at-a-time adoption process, which is now run by Meeks\u2019s close friend and Valley resident, Erica Cartwright. Cartwright and her dog, Cookie, a rescue Staffordshire terrier, have continued to follow in her friend\u2019s footsteps to carry on her legacy and work toward redefining the image of pit bulls. Meeks\u2019s husband, Brian, her two daughters and, of course, the now eight-year-old Stella are very much involved and a part of the rescue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Director-of-Incredibull-Stella-Erica-Cartwright.jpg\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1024\"  height=\"683\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"\"  class=\"wp-image-15849 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Director-of-Incredibull-Stella-Erica-Cartwright-1024x683.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Director-of-Incredibull-Stella-Erica-Cartwright-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Director-of-Incredibull-Stella-Erica-Cartwright-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Director-of-Incredibull-Stella-Erica-Cartwright-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Director-of-Incredibull-Stella-Erica-Cartwright-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Director-of-Incredibull-Stella-Erica-Cartwright-380x253.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Director-of-Incredibull-Stella-Erica-Cartwright-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Director-of-Incredibull-Stella-Erica-Cartwright-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Director-of-Incredibull-Stella-Erica-Cartwright-80x53.jpg 80w\" ><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Director of Incredibull Stella, Erica Cartwright. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re unique in that we only take one dog at a time,\u201d says Cartwright, director of Incredibull Stella. \u201cWe don\u2019t do a foster-based system. We really focus on one dog\u2013 we get to know it, train it, post it on social media and online, and the world falls in love with it.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the adoption process, Cartwright gets to know each potential adopter during a phone call that can sometimes last an hour before inviting them to meet the dog in person if they hadn\u2019t yet met at an event or out in public. If it\u2019s a right fit, the next step is introducing the rescue to other dogs in the family and completing a training session to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible into the dog\u2019s new home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEach dog must have a training session as part of the process, which really is just a training session for the humans,\u201d laughed Cartwright.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/15113718\/Stella-46.jpg\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"683\"  height=\"1024\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"\"  class=\"wp-image-15850 pk-lazyload\"  style=\"width:368px;height:auto\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/15113718\/Stella-46-683x1024.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/15113718\/Stella-46-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/15113718\/Stella-46-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/15113718\/Stella-46-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/15113718\/Stella-46-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/15113718\/Stella-46-380x570.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/15113718\/Stella-46-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/15113718\/Stella-46-80x120.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/15113718\/Stella-46-53x80.jpg 53w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/15113718\/Stella-46.jpg 1067w\" ><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stella the pit bull.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of Marika\u2019s dreams was to have a high-end, luxury kennel,\u201d adds Cartwright. \u201cSo I wanted to make that a reality since she never got to see that dream realized. We\u2019ve called it \u2018Marika\u2019s Corner\u2019 and it\u2019s a guest house on my property that we have converted to a dog house. You can come meet and hang out with the dogs, get your selfie with the dogs and just spend time in a calm and loving home environment. We do our training out there and have even fostered other rescue dogs short term.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to finding dogs forever loving homes, Incredibull Stella participates in community events and programs advocating for pit bulls, supports and promotes other nonprofits, and aids dog owners and rescues in spay and neuter programs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be a part of ending the miss-use and miss-education of the bully breed, Cartwright says it\u2019s as simple as adopting instead of shopping, getting your dog into training, being an educated and a kind advocate in person and online, plus fostering, volunteering and donating your time and money to reputable programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re loving and amazing dogs,\u201d she adds. \u201cIf you just give them a chance, they\u2019ll give you everything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Learn more at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.incredibullstella.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.incredibullstella.com<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/incredibullstella\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@incredibullstella<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This story appeared in the AZ Foothills Innovators 2023 issue.
