Bella Donna

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Bella Dona is a very friendly, open-minded puppy girl who loves her human family more than anything. Breed-wise, she has a clever head and is anything but a "Couch Potato." Unfortunately, she had to leave her family because there simply wasn't enough time for her. She gets along with her fellow animals, although the larger ones give her a bit of a scare, and the pretty one knows the children from her family.

DE·Show original

Bella Dona ist ein sehr freundliches, aufgeschlossenes Hundemädel, die ihren Menschen über alles liebt. Rassebedingt hat die Süße ein schlaues Köpfchen und ist alles andere als ein“Couch Potato“. Leider musste sie ihre Familie verlassen, da einfach die nötige Zeit für sie fehlte. Sie versteht sich mit ihren Artgenossen, wobei die großen Vertreter ihr etwas Angst einflössen, und Kinder kennt die Hübsche aus ihrer Familie.

About Bella Donna

What life with Bella Donna looks like

Bella Donna is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Donna, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bella Donna?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierhilfe Franken e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bella Donna on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bella Donna if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierhilfe Franken e.V. 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 Donna 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 Donna 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 Tierhilfe Franken e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bella Donna 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.
