Bella

German Shepherd · Female

Bella kam als Fundhund in unser Partnertierheim in Siofok/Ungarn, da sie immer wieder alleine auf der Straße war. Leider hatte sie schon einige Besitzer, die sie immer wieder weiterverschenkt haben. Dennoch ist sie ein liebenswerter Hund geblieben und hängt mit Hingabe an allen Menschen. Für sie ist es immer wieder schlimm, wenn sie in ihrem Auslauf bleiben muss und versucht immer wieder über den Zaun zu den Mitarbeitern des Tierheims zu gelangen. Mit anderen Hunden versteht sich Bella gut, ist immer freundlich und geht auch sehr gerne mit freiwilligen Helfern spazieren. Wir suchen für Bella eine aktive Familie, gerne mit größeren Kindern ab 10 Jahren, die sich bewusst ist, dass man für Bella viel Zeit und Aufmerksamkeit mitbringen muss. Das Alleinebleiben wird sicher eine Herausforderung für beide Seiten werden. Der Besuch einer Hundeschule würde bei ihr sicher auf Begeisterung stoßen.

About Bella

What life with Bella looks like

Bella is a large adult german shepherd dog waiting at Hundehilfe Marika e.V. in Germany.

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, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bella?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hundehilfe Marika e.V. 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 — Hundehilfe Marika 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 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 Hundehilfe Marika e.V. 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.
