bella

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

Hi, I'm Bella! I'm an affectionate and sociable kitty, but I need a calm environment to feel comfortable. I don't like constraints much, so I'd prefer to avoid a home with young children. I'm visually impaired, but you'll hardly notice since I navigate very well! I would appreciate outdoor space, if possible an enclosed garden that allows me to romp around safely. If my profile interests you, come meet me at the shelter! (Currently reserved)

About bella

What life with bella looks like

bella is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Montluçon in Montlucon.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

Note from the shelter: Visually impaired but navigates well

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

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. SPA Montluçon 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 — SPA Montluçon 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 SPA Montluçon 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 (FR). 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.
