Bella

Shar Pei · Female

Past: abandoned due to health issues The +: dynamic; loves to play; very hungry; page to rewrite The -: covid dog; shy; yappy; eats everything; destructive Bella is in a foster home until her health is sorted. She is visible in St Andre, thank you to contact the refuge. Greetings to all, this is Bella ♥️ Yes, I know, with a name like that, you expect a perfect little puff... well, let's say I'm more of a princess in training 😄 I am a Sharpei full of wrinkles (to better store cuddles, obviously) with a huge heart... and an even bigger appetite. Yes, if you have a biscuit in your pocket, I'll quickly become your friend. Two biscuits? We become super friends! I am a "covid" dog, which means my life has been a bit... special. Everything is still to discover for me: rules, habits, and especially trust. In short, my story is to be rewritten. I'm used to hiding all my potential but under my shell I'm dynamic, playful, always ready for a small adventure or a game. I need encouragement to enjoy life and its adventures. I prefer to be honest: loneliness is really not my thing and when I'm stressed and feel alone, I sometimes turn some objects into modern art... very modern. Let's say I love redecorating version Street Art 😬 but with patience, education and above all a lot of love, I can learn to be calmer and leave a bit aside my over attachment. I am a ball of wrinkles uh...of hair, all kindness without any aggression; my thing is to love very hard forever ♥️ So if these few lines touch you, it would be so beautiful to rewrite together, a new life. Breed history: originated from China; 18 to 25kg for 44 to 51 cm; lifespan 9.11 years; cautious; affectionate; devoted; independent; loving; Loyal; cheerful; quiet; very calm; yappy; good guardian; stubborn;

Passé: abandon suite problème de santé Le + : dynamique ; aime jouer ; tres gourmande ; page à ré écrire Le – : chienne du covid ; timide ; abboyeuse ; mange tout ; destructrice d’ennuis Bella est en famille relais le temps de sa mise en règle sanitaire. Elle est visible sur st André merci de contacter le refuge . Salutations à tous moi c’est Bella ♥️ Oui, je sais, avec un nom pareil, vous vous attendez à une petite truffe parfaite… bon, on va dire que je suis plutôt une princesse en formation 😄 Je suis une Sharpei toute en pli (c’est pour mieux stocker les câlins, évidemment) avec un cœur énorme… et un appétit encore plus grand. Hé oui, si vous avez un biscuit dans la poche, je deviendrai vite votre amie. Deux biscuits ? On devient super amie ! Je suis une chienne dite “du COVID”, ce qui veut dire que ma vie a été un peu… spéciale. Tout est encore à découvrir pour moi : les règles, les habitudes, et surtout la confiance. En gros, mon histoire est à réécrire. J’ai l’habitude de cacher tout mon potentiel mais sous ma carapace je suis dynamique, joueuse, toujours partante pour une petite aventure ou une partie de jeu. J’ai besoin qu’on m’encourage pour apprécier la vie et ses aventures. Je préfère être honnête : la solitude, c’est vraiment pas mon truc et quand je suis stressée et que je me sens seule, il m’arrive de transformer quelques objets en œuvres d’art moderne… très modernes. Disons que j’aime beaucoup redécorer version Street Art 😬 mais avec de la patience, de l’éducation et surtout beaucoup d’amour, je peux apprendre à être plus sereine et laisser un peu de côté mon hyper attachement. Je suis une boule de pli euh…de poils toute en gentillesse sans aucune agressivité ; mon truc à moi, c’est aimer très fort pour toujours ♥️ Alors si ces quelques lignes vous touchent ce serait tellement beau de réécrire ensemble, une nouvelle vie. Histoire de race : originaire de Chine ; de 18 à 25kg pour 44 à 51 cm ; espérance de vie 9.11 ans ; méfiant ; affectueux ; devoué ; indépendant ; aimant ; Loyal ; Enjoué ; tranquille ; tres calme ; abboyeur ; bon gardien ; têtu ; désireux de plaire

About Bella

What life with Bella looks like

Bella is a medium-sized adult shar pei dog waiting at SPA de l in France.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇷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 de l 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 de l 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 de l 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.
