How do I contact the shelter about Bella?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Nürnberg 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 — Tierheim Nürnberg 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 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 Tierheim Nürnberg 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 (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.

Bella

Dachshund · Female · Puppy · 6 months

Bella is still looking for a home! Bella is unfortunately one of the dogs that were illegally imported from abroad at a much too young age and therefore had to be quarantined for rabies with us. Since she comes from a so-called unlisted third country, some time of home quarantine is still ahead of her. Therefore, anyone who wants to get to know Bella must first clarify with the responsible veterinary office whether home quarantine is allowed. We already have contacts for Nuremberg, Fürth, Erlangen and the Fürth area. If there are already dogs or cats in the household, they must be validly vaccinated against rabies. Bella is about 6 months old, weighs 4.4 kg and is a dachshund mix. She is playful, affectionate and full of energy, typical of a puppy. Due to the quarantine, she has unfortunately hardly been able to get to know anything so far. She lacks experience with other dogs, cats or children. She can certainly learn all that - but you should be aware that you won't get a top socialized puppy. If you want to get to know Bella, please fill out the interest form and send it to us: The colleagues will then contact you by phone 😊 Little Bella is very happy to finally leave the animal shelter behind soon 💞

Kleine Bella sucht leider immer noch ein Zuhause! Bella ist leider einer der Hunde, die illegal und viel zu jung aus dem Ausland eingeführt wurden und deshalb bei uns in Tollwutquarantäne mussten. Da sie aus einem sogenannten nicht gelisteten Drittland kommt, liegt noch einige Zeit Hausquarantäne vor ihr. Wer Bella kennenlernen möchte, muss deshalb vorher beim zuständigen Veterinäramt klären, ob eine Hausquarantäne erlaubt wird. Für Nürnberg, Fürth, Erlangen und das Fürther Umland haben wir bereits Kontakte. Falls bereits Hunde oder Katzen im Haushalt leben, müssen diese gültig gegen Tollwut geimpft sein. Bella ist ca. 6 Monate alt, wiegt 4,4 kg und ist ein Dackelmix. Sie ist welpentypisch verspielt, verschmust und voller Energie. Aufgrund der Quarantäne konnte sie bisher leider kaum etwas kennenlernen. Erfahrungen mit anderen Hunden, Katzen oder Kindern fehlen ihr noch. Sie kann das alles sicher lernen – man sollte sich aber bewusst sein, dass man keinen top sozialisierten Welpen bekommt. Wer Bella kennenlernen möchte, füllt bitte den Interessentenbogen aus und schickt ihn an uns: Die Kollegen melden sich dann telefonisch bei euch 😊 Die kleine Bella freut sich sehr, endlich bald das Tierheim hinter sich zu lassen 💞

About Bella

What life with Bella looks like

Bella is a puppy/kitten dachshund dog waiting at Tierheim Nürnberg in Nuremberg.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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.
