Bella

American Staffordshire Terrier · Female · Adult · 5 years

Bella, a true queen who has proven to be much stronger than the life she was dealt👑 If you're looking for a strong, intelligent companion with a personality that leaves no one indifferent, Bella is eager to meet you💛 Bella arrived at our animal shelter in Callosa de Segura after being rescued from a kennel where she had been living in terrible conditions. When we first met her, her coat and skin were completely damaged and, on top of that, she had a large lump on her abdomen that needed veterinary attention💔 Of course, we didn't hesitate to give her the chance she deserved. She was operated on and, with the necessary care, her skin has recovered tremendously. Today, behind that intense gaze, we have a completely different Bella: a beautiful, strong dog ready to leave that chapter behind and truly begin a new life✨ She is now waiting at our animal shelter in Alicante for the family who can look beyond her past and discover everything she has to offer. If you're thinking about adopting a dog and looking for a companion for a responsible adoption, Bella deserves a chance.

About Bella

What life with Bella looks like

Bella is a medium-sized adult american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at APADAC — Protectora de Animales in Spain.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇪🇸Adopting from Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bella, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bella?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. APADAC — Protectora de Animales handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bella on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bella if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — APADAC — Protectora de Animales will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Bella already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Bella isn't the right fit?: Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with APADAC — Protectora de Animales early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bella and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (ES). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
