BELLA

Female · Adult · 4 years

Bella is a lovely 4-year-old Shepherd mix. At first, she can seem a little shy, but she quickly places her trust in people once she feels safe. Behind that reserve is a very gentle, calm, affectionate and especially touching dog. Unfortunately, we do not know her full history. Bella was abandoned and seems to have gone through some difficult times. She will therefore need a patient, caring and gentle family, able to give her the time she needs to find her bearings and fully regain her confidence. She is also making progress with house-training. ✅ OK with dogs ✅ OK with children ❓ Compatibility with cats not yet tested Bella is microchipped, vaccinated and spayed. She deserves to discover what a true family life is like, surrounded by gentleness, respect and affection. ❤️

About BELLA

What life with BELLA looks like

BELLA is an adult dog waiting at Centre de Protection des Animaux de Saint-Cyprien in France.

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 France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

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. Centre de Protection des Animaux de Saint-Cyprien 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 — Centre de Protection des Animaux de Saint-Cyprien 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 Centre de Protection des Animaux de Saint-Cyprien 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 (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
