Bella ist fast blind, ihr Handicap ist fรผr sie jedoch kein Hindernis. Sie kommt im Alltag bemerkenswert gut zurecht, da sie sich hervorragend รผber ihr Gehรถr und ihren Geruchssinn orientiert. Neue Umgebungen prรคgt sie sich schnell und absolut zuverlรคssig ein. Die Schรคferhรผndin ist sehr verspielt, lebhaft und definitiv kein Stubenhocker. Die gรคngigen Grundkommandos kennt sie und fรผhrt sie zuverlรคssig aus. Bella ist von klein auf an ein sehr groรŸes Gelรคnde gewรถhnt und benรถtigt diesen Freiraum auch weiterhin unbedingt, um glรผcklich zu sein. Im Umgang mit anderen Hunden hatte sie bisher leider nur wenig Erfahrung und ist dementsprechend unsicher. Erfahrungen im Zusammenleben mit Katzen liegen nicht vor. Kleine Kinder kennt sie nicht, ein Haushalt mit รคlteren Kindern (ab 12 Jahren) ist gut denkbar. Aufgrund ihres groรŸen Platzbedarfs und ihrer Sehbehinderung wรคre fรผr sie ein Bauernhof, ein Gnadenhof oder ein vergleichbar groรŸes, weitlรคufiges und gesichertes Grundstรผck ideal, auf dem sie sich frei und vor allem sicher bewegen kann. Momentan lebt Bella im Landkreis Hildburghausen. Haben Sie den passenden Platz fรผr Bella frei ? Bei ernsthaftem Interesse darf man sich gerne bei uns melden und bekommt die Kontaktdaten der Besitzer. โ˜Ž๏ธoder per E-Mail info-meiningen. de.

About Bella

What life with Bella looks like

Bella is an extra-large adult german shepherd dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Meiningen in Meiningen.

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 โ€” a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" โ€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures โ€” to let them settle.

๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ชAdopting 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. Tierschutzverein Meiningen handles screening and the adoption contract directly โ€” 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 โ€” Tierschutzverein Meiningen 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 โ€” 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 โ€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierschutzverein Meiningen 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 โ€” 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.
