Bella

Female

Die kleine Bella ist eine sehr selbstbewusste Junghündin, die sich sehr sicher im Umgang mit Hunden aller Art, Alters und Größe zeigt. Altersgemäß ist sie recht verspielt und kann sich auch alleine gut beschäftigen.Im Umgang mit Menschen ist sie zunächst sehr zurückhaltend, verbellt diese, wenn sie genug Raum zum flüchten hat. Wenn man sie zu stark bedrängt oder einfach fest hält, setzt sie ihre Zähne ein, um sich aus der für sie augenscheinlich gefährlichen Situation zu befreien. Mit Ruhe und Geduld, kommt man aber an sie ran, sie erstarrt zwar etwas, lässt in diesem Zustand aber alles mit sich machen. Wenn man sie gut führt, ihren Freiraum zunächst begrenzt, ihr jegliche eigenen Entscheidungen und die Verantwortung abnimmt, nimmt sie dies gerne an und orientiert sich stark am Menschen. Für Bella suchen wir ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne Kinder, mit sachkundigen Menschen, die der kleinen Hündin mit Ruhe und Sicherheit die Welt zeigen. Ein erwachsener, möglichst souveräner Hund im neuen Zuhause wird vieles sehr vereinfachen; es müsste aber trotzdem mit Bella das kleine Hunde 1x1 auch alleine erarbeitet werden, damit dies auch ohne einen anderen Hund klappt. Im Haus nimmt sie nötige Begrenzung wie eine Box gut an. Die hübsche Junghündin wird gechipt, geimpft, mit EU-Ausweis nach positiver Vorkontrolle über den Verein Waisenhunde e.V. mit entsprechendem Schutzvertrag vermittelt. Bella kann bis zum 2.11. in 33165 Lichtenau besucht werden.

About Bella

What life with Bella looks like

Bella is an adult dog waiting at Tierheim Paderborn in Paderborn.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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 Paderborn 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 Paderborn 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 Tierheim Paderborn 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.
