Adopt Bella

Female · Young · 1 year

Bella is now ready for a new life. 🐕💕 The spayed Bella is about 42 cm tall, a lively explorer who not only enjoys running around outside but would also really enjoy using her smart mind. Dog training classes or other mental stimulation that challenges both body and mind would be just right for her - because Bella wants not only to run and play, but also to learn and please. The clever one-year-old herding breed mix female dog is currently staying at our foster home with another female dog and two experienced cats. Bella is already walking well on a leash, but there is still room for improvement. The clever Bella greets everyone very politely, sometimes even a bit enthusiastically. This is due to her previous life, she didn't really get much affection and now finds it wonderful. People who are kind, pay attention to her, and give her affection, Bella really likes that. For Bella we are looking for people who will challenge and encourage this clever girl. We think she would fit well with active people who can offer her variety and proper, active care. Since Bella is still quite energetic right now, children should be older and more stable. She gets along absolutely well with her fellow animals and even tries to play with experienced cats. With another dog, Bella can already be left alone for hours.🦮 🐶Would you like to give Bella a new home?. Best placed with a resident dog (second-dog home).

Bella wäre jetzt bereit für ein neues Leben. 🐕💕 Die kastrierte Bella ist eine ca 42 cm große, bewegungsfreudige Entdeckerin, die nicht nur gerne draußen herumflitzt, sondern auch richtig Spaß daran hätte, ihren klugen Kopf einzusetzen. Eine Hundeschule oder andere Beschäftigung, die Körper und Geist fordert, wäre genau das Richtige für sie – denn Bella möchte nicht nur rennen und spielen, sondern auch lernen und gefallen. Die kluge ca 1 Jahr alte Hütehund Mix Hündin ist auf unserer Pflegestelle zusammen mit einer Hündin und 2 hundeerfahrenen Katzen. Bella läuft mittlerweile schon ganz gut an der Leine, da gibt es aber noch Verbesserungsbedarf. Die kluge Bella begrüßt alle Menschen sehr freundlich, manchmal auch etwas überschwänglich. Dies ist ihrem vorherigen Leben geschuldet, sie hatte nicht wirklich viel Zuwendung und findet dies jetzt natürlich toll. Menschen die freundlich sind, Aufmerksamkeit das findet Bella toll. Für Bella wünschen wir uns Menschen, die das kluge Mädchen fordern und fördern. Wir denken, dass sie gut zu aktiven Menschen passen würde, die ihr Abwechslung und eine artgerechte und aktive Haltung bieten. Da Bella im Moment noch recht stürmisch unterwegs ist, sollten Kinder älter bzw schon standfest sein. Mit ihren Artgenossen ist sie absolut verträglich, mit hundeerfahrenen Katzen versucht sie auch zu spielen. Mit einen Zweithund kann Bella auch schon stundenweise alleine bleiben.🦮 🐶Du möchtest Bella ein neues Zuhause geben? 🐶Bitte fülle unsere Selbstauskunft aus

About Bella

What life with Bella looks like

Bella is a large young adult dog waiting at Tierfreunde im Fläming e.V. in Germany.

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. Tierfreunde im Fläming 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 — Tierfreunde im Fläming 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 Tierfreunde im Fläming 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.
