Bella &#8211

Mixed Breed · Female

Bella belongs to a project where we secure placements when it’s not a perfect fit or the living conditions change, causing the shelter dog to seek a new home. This is also the case with Bella, who had to be rehomed after a failed attempt. Suddenly, recently, the landlord approval was revoked for all residents of the house who have a dog, for unfindable reasons. The apartment search is proving difficult, so we are looking for a new home for Bella’s well-being. Together with the new owners, we are trying to avoid a stop at the animal shelter for Bella and hope for a second chance, as good things come in threes. Bella has also had to deal with some health issues alongside the new owners, with financial support from the organization. A milk duct had to be removed, and all other findings were satisfactory. Multiple blood tests for various parasites have also been completed, which are now over. A serious case of conjunctivitis required treatment from an ophthalmologist, and as a result, her lack of tear fluid is treated with daily eye drops, which are cost-effective, and she now looks hopefully to the future. A sensitive stomach requires appropriate feeding, but this may change in the future.

Bella gehört zu den Hunden eines Projektes, wo wir Vermittlungen absichern, wenn es nicht zu 100 Prozent passt oder sich die Lebensumstände so ändern, das der Schützling ein neues Zuhause sucht. So auch bei Bella, die nach einem missglückten Versuch neu vermittelt werden musste. Urplötzlich wurde kürzlich aus unerfindlichen Gründen die Vermietererlaubnis entzogen, gleich bei allen Bewohnern des Hauses, die einen Hund haben. Die Wohnungssuche gestaltet sich schwierig, sicherheitshalber wird Ausschau gehalten nach einem neuen Zuhause zum Wohle von Bella. Gemeinsam versuchen wir mit den neuen Besitzern, Bella einen Zwischenstopp im Tierheim zu ersparen und hoffen auf eine weitere Chance, aller guten Dinge sind schließlich drei. Auch gesundheitlich musste Bella einiges gemeinsam mit den neuen Besitzern und mit finanzieller Unterstützung des Vereines wegstecken. Eine Milchleiste musste entfernt werden, alle weiteren Befunde dazu waren in Ordnung. Mehrere Bluttest auf Grund diverser Parasiten, auch das ist fürs Erste überstanden. Eine schlimme Bindehautentzündung mit anschließender Behandlung beim Augenspezialisten, in Folge dessen muss Ihre fehlende Tränenflüssigkeit mit täglichen Augentropfen behandelt werden, was sich kostentechnisch im Rahmen hält und seit dem blickt sie hoffnungsvoll in die Zukunft. Ein sensibler Magen nötigt derzeit zu entsprechender Fütterung, das kann sich aber in Zukunft auch noch relativieren. Kürzlich wurde ein Problem mit den Zähnen diagnostiziert, das wird aber vor

About Bella &#8211

What life with Bella &#8211 looks like

Bella &#8211 is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Schkortitz in Grimma.

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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bella &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bella &#8211?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Schkortitz handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bella &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bella &#8211 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Schkortitz 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Bella &#8211 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 &#8211 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 Tierheim Schkortitz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bella &#8211 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 (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
