How do I contact the shelter about Bella?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Düsseldorf 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 Düsseldorf 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 Düsseldorf 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

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Bella is a mixed-breed female dog weighing approximately 22 kg. Currently, she shows herself to be very fearful and insecure, especially in new environments. Despite her insecurity, she remains friendly and attentive towards people. Outdoors, she quickly gets unsettled by environmental stimuli and seeks out places of retreat. Therefore, we would like to find a quiet, low-stress home for Bella, where she can take her time to adjust at her own pace. Once she has developed trust, she is highly attuned to her trusted people and seeks their protection. With calm, confident people by her side, she will likely develop well and form a strong bond. A confident male dog in the new home could provide her with additional security, and Bella is also experienced with cats and can share a home with them. A house with a garden would be advantageous, as once she settles in, she will also keep an eye on her surroundings. Bella reacts fearfully in uncertain situations, so there should be no small children in the household. If you would like to learn more about Bella or are interested in providing her with a suitable home, please contact us by phone or email (please include your phone number).

DE·Show original

Bella ist eine ca. 22 kg schwere Mischlingshündin. Aktuell zeigt sie sich bei uns noch sehr ängstlich und unsicher, insbesondere in neuen Umgebungen. Trotz ihrer Unsicherheit bleibt sie dem Menschen gegenüber stets freundlich und zugewandt. Draußen lässt sie sich schnell von Umweltreizen verunsichern und sucht dann nach Rückzugsmöglichkeiten. Daher wünschen wir uns für Bella ein ruhiges, reizarmes Zuhause, in dem sie in ihrem eigenen Tempo ankommen darf. Hat sie einmal Vertrauen gefasst, orientiert sie sich stark an ihren Bezugspersonen und sucht bei ihnen Schutz. Mit ruhigen, souveränen Menschen an ihrer Seite wird sie sich sicherlich gut entwickeln und eine enge Bindung aufbauen. Ein souveräner Rüde im neuen Zuhause könnte ihr zusätzliche Sicherheit geben, außerdem ist Bella auch Katzen erfahren und kann auch gut mit ihnen ein Zuhause teilen. Ein Haus mit Garten wäre vom Vorteil, da wenn sie sich mal Eingelebet hat auch auf ihre Umgebung aufpasst. Bella reagiert in unsicheren Situationen ängstlich, deshalb sollten keine kleinen Kinder im Haushalt vorhanden sein. Wenn ihr mehr über Bella erfahren möchtet oder euch vorstellen könnt, ihr ein passendes Zuhause zu geben, meldet euch gerne telefonisch oder per E-Mail (bitte mit Angabe eurer Telefonnummer).

About Bella

What life with Bella looks like

Bella is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Düsseldorf in Düsseldorf.

An young 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.
