Bella

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

With strangers, she reacts very suspiciously. However, when Bella builds trust, she is a friendly and cuddly female dog. She does, however, try to assert her head in many situations. Bella does not get along well with other dogs. We wish for her a home where she will be kept as a single dog. We are looking for dog-experienced people for Bella. Children should not live in the new home. We are happy that you are interested in Bella. Send us a direct application of interest for Bella, and you will become a foster parent for her. Of course, Bella is also happy to receive single monetary and goods donations.

Bei fremden Menschen reagiert sie jedoch sehr misstrauisch. Wenn Bella Vertrauen fasst, ist sie eine freundliche und verschmuste Hündin. Sie will aber in vielen Situationen ihren Kopf durchsetzen. Mit anderen Hunden versteht sich Bella nicht so gut. Wir wünschen uns für sie ein Zuhause, in dem sie als Einzelhund gehalten wird. Wir suchen für Bella hundeerfahrene Menschen. Kinder sollten im neuen Zuhause nicht leben. Wir freuen uns, dass Sie sich für Bella interessieren. Senden Sie uns am besten direkt eine Interessentenanfrage. Dann werden Sie Pate für Bella. Natürlich freut sich Bella auch über einzelne Geld- und Sachspenden.

About Bella

What life with Bella looks like

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

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.

Note from the shelter: Requires single-dog household, mistrustful of strangers initially

🇩🇪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, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bella?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Karlsruhe 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 Karlsruhe 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 Karlsruhe 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.
