How do I contact the shelter about Bella?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg 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 Berlin Falkenberg 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 Berlin Falkenberg 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.

Bella

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Female

I am Bella and was secured for animal welfare reasons. Now I hope for a new life with loving people – because I am a ray of sunshine. Toward people, I am very friendly and clingy, especially if I really know someone well. Then I show my super cute side. Typical for my breed, I can also get excited quickly and need clear structures to calm down. When it comes to other dogs, I don't get along so well outdoors and behave rather unfriendly. My prey drive is also quite pronounced. With children, I am unsure, so no children should live in my new home. But I can also already be left alone for a few hours. I wish for a dog-, preferably breed-experienced home with loving, but consistent people who can guide me clearly and securely. I need someone who can give me orientation and handle my energy. Then I will be the very best companion. May I enrich your life in the future?

DE·Show original

Ich bin Bella und wurde aus Tierschutzgründen sichergestellt. Jetzt hoffe ich auf ein neues Leben bei lieben Menschen – denn ich bin ein Sonnenscheinchen. Das bin ich:Menschen gegenüber bin ich sehr freundlich und anhänglich, vor allem, wenn ich jemanden richtig gut kenne. Dann zeige ich meine super niedliche Seite. Typisch für meine Rasse bin ich aber auch schnell mal aufgedreht und brauche klare Strukturen, damit ich zur Ruhe komme. Mit anderen Hunden komme ich draußen nicht so gut zurecht und verhalte mich da eher unfreundlich. Auch mein Jagdtrieb ist deutlich ausgeprägt. Bei Kindern bin ich unsicher, deshalb sollten keine in meinem neuen Zuhause leben. Aber ich kann auch schon ein paar Stunden allein bleiben. Ich wünsche mir ein hunde-, gern auch rasseerfahrenes Zuhause bei lieben, aber konsequenten Menschen, die mich klar und sicher führen können. Ich brauche jemanden, der mir Orientierung gibt und mit meiner Energie umgehen kann. Dann werde ich die allerbeste Begleiterin. Darf ich künftig dein/euer Leben bereichern?

About Bella

What life with Bella looks like

Bella is a large adult staffordshire bull terrier dog waiting at Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg in Berlin.

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.
