Bella

German Shepherd · Female · Young · 1 year

Rasse: Deutscher Schäferhund Geschlecht: weiblich Geburtsdatum: 04/2025 Größe: großDie 10 Monate alte Hündin wurde am 06.02.2026 abgegeben, da die Besitzerin verstorben ist und die Tochter sie nicht übernehmen konnte. Bella zeigt sich freundlich mit Menschen und kennt den Umgang mit Kindern jeden Alters. Mit ihren Bezugspersonen ist sie innig und verschmust. Junghundetypisch ist sie aktiv und möchte gefordert werden. Sie kennt bereits die Grundkommandos und spielt gerne mit ihrem Ball, den sie sich auch wegnehmen lässt. Sie schwimmt gerne und fährt gut im Auto mit. Mit anderen Hunden ist sie nach Sympathie verträglich. Nach Eingewöhnung und Auslastung kann sie halbtags allein bleiben. Für Bella suchen wir Menschen, die Freude daran haben sie weiter zu erziehen und alters- und rassegerecht zu beschäftigen. In ihrem neuen Zuhause sollte auch weiterhin genügend Zeit für den Besuch einer Hundeschule / Junghundegruppe sein. Bella war für vier Monate vermittelt und hat leider zum zweiten Mal ihre Bezugsperson verloren. Sie kommt voraussichtlich am 23.06.2026 zurück zu uns ins Tierheim.

About Bella

What life with Bella looks like

Bella is a large young adult german shepherd dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Heilbronn in Heilbronn.

An young 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. Tierschutzverein Heilbronn 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 — Tierschutzverein Heilbronn 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 Tierschutzverein Heilbronn 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.
