Bella

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 8 months

Wir haben Bella zusammen mit fünf weiteren Hunden aus unserem bmt-Partnertierheim in Brașov (Rumänien) übernommen. Anfänglich war sie sehr ängstlich und überfordert. Anfassen oder gar Anleinen war nicht möglich. Doch mit jeder Woche, die sie bei uns ist, wird sie zutraulicher. Es ist aber noch ein langer Weg. Sie kennt vermutlich nichts vom Zusammenleben mit Menschen, sie war wahrscheinlich ein Straßenhund. Das Leben im Haus, Autofahrten und Alltagsgeräusche werden sie bestimmt erst einmal überfordern. Hier sind geduldige Menschen mit viel Zeit gefragt. Mit Hunden ist Bella super verträglich. Sie wäre bestimmt ein prima Zweithund und könnte sich das eine oder andere von ihrem Kumpel abschauen. Für Bella suchen wir ein ländliches Zuhause abseits des Großstadt-Trubels. Wenn Sie Erfahrung mit ängstlichen Hunden haben und viel Zeit mitbringen (auch zum Kennenlernen), schreiben Sie uns gerne eine ausführliche Mail.

About Bella

What life with Bella looks like

Bella is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Köln in Cologne.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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. Tierheim Köln 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 — Tierheim Köln 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 Tierheim Köln 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.
