How do I contact the shelter about Bella II?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ITV Grenzenlos e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bella II on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Bella II if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ITV Grenzenlos 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 II 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 II 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 ITV Grenzenlos e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bella II 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.

Bella II

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

In our area were Charlie and Bella kept on a chain in front of a house for a longer time. When the house was sold, the dogs were simply left alone on the short chain. The two were completely neglected and were only barely cared for by a neighbor. They had five puppies, of which two starved to death, one was rehomed, and two were placed in another animal shelter. An animal welfare worker freed the dogs in August 2024 and temporarily brought Bella and Charlie to a company site. Unfortunately, he cannot keep the dogs himself as he already has six dogs. On the company site, Charlie and Bella also cannot stay permanently. our shelter wants to help and is looking for separate new homes in Germany for Charlie and Bella. Bella is a very friendly and loving female dog. She likes all people and is hugely enthusiastic about food. Both she had to do without for a long time. It is remarkable how much love and trust Bella gives, after everything she went through with her first owners. The beautiful female dog is looking for a home in the countryside with a well-fenced garden. She has not experienced much yet and still has a lot to catch up on. She should be rehomed with patient and experienced people. Bella was born in June 2018 and is 56 cm tall. She will be neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated when given up. Before travel arrangements, she will receive a blood quick test. Please call if you would like to help the cute female dog: 05071 – 4126 or . Bella in the video:

DE·Show original

In Rumänien wurden Charlie und Bella schon länger vor einem Haus an einer Kette gehalten. Als das Haus verkauft wurde, ließ man die Hunde einfach allein an der kurzen Kette zurück. Die beiden waren völlig verwahrlost und wurden nur notdürftig von einer Nachbarin versorgt. Sie hatten 5 Welpen, von denen 2 verhungert sind, einer vermittelt wurde und zwei in einem anderen Tierheim untergebracht sind. Ein Tierschützer befreite die Hunde im August 2024 und brachte Bella und Charlie vorläufig auf einem Firmengelände unter. Leider kann er die Hunde nicht selbst behalten, da er bereits sechs Hunde hat. Auf dem Firmengelände können Charlie und Bella auch nicht dauerhaft bleiben. Der ITV Grenzenlos möchte helfen und sucht für Charlie und Bella jeweils getrennt ein neues Zuhause in Deutschland. Bella ist eine sehr freundliche und liebe Hündin. Sie mag alle Menschen und freut sich riesig über Futter. Beides musste sie ja lange entbehren. Es ist verwunderlich wieviel Liebe und Vertrauen Bella zu geben hat, nach all dem, was sie mit ihren ersten Besitzern durchmachen musste. Die schöne Hündin sucht ein Zuhause auf dem Land mit einem gut eingezäunten Garten. Sie hat noch nicht viel kennengelernt und muss noch einiges nachholen. Sie soll an geduldige und erfahrene Menschen vermittelt werden. Bella ist im Juni 2018 geboren und 56 cm groß. Sie wird kastriert, gechipt und geimpft abgegeben. Vor der Ausreise bekommt sie noch einen Blutschnelltest. Bitte rufen sie an, wenn sie der hübschen Hündin helfen möchten: 05071 – 4126 oder . Bella im Video:

About Bella II

What life with Bella II looks like

Bella II is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at ITV Grenzenlos e.V. in Essel.

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.
