Belladonna

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

female dog BELLADONNA, born around July 2025, shoulder height about 35 cm & 9.5 kg weight, foster home Middle Hesse, dog bed needed nationwide starting immediately Belladonna is looking for her forever home ❤️ The young female dog Belladonna, likely a Kokoni mix, was born in July 2025. She has a shoulder height of about 35 cm and weighs approximately 9.5 kg. Belladonna had a difficult start in life: Purchased as a puppy, she was kept illegally on a balcony until the police finally rescued her. After that, she was able to live in a foster home for several months before moving to Germany with a kind woman who already had several cats but no dog experience. Underestimating the needs of a young dog, the woman reluctantly had to give Belladonna up again. Belladonna is a lively, active, and adventurous young female dog who still wants to learn a lot. She loves walks and enjoys mental stimulation and shared activities. In some situations, she still reacts fearfully to sounds, barking at them out of insecurity. Belladonna gets along well with other dogs. Dog-experienced cats are also possible. However, the young female dog is not yet house-trained and still requires loving, patient guidance. We wish for Belladonna a rural, quiet, and active home with people who have dog experience or are willing to deeply engage with a young dog. Small children should not be part of the household. Belladonna is looking for people who can provide her with security, show her the world, and finally give her the wonderful dog life she deserves. 🐾 We do not place in very urban areas or families with small children. Please only submit an adoption application if you can take her in at the above-mentioned time and have already discussed the integration of a new family member with your family (and possibly other involved parties such as employers, landlords, interim care). The descriptions are based on behavior in this familiar environment. Especially puppies and young dogs are still developing their character. For a successful adjustment to a new home, they need time, patience, and loving guidance to adapt to the new surroundings and various stimuli and grow into confident dogs. This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

Hündin BELLADONNA, geb. ca. Juli 2025, Schulterhöhe ca. 35 cm & 9,5 Kilo Gewicht, Pflegestelle Mittelhessen, Körbchen ab sofort deutschlandweit gesucht Belladonna sucht ihr Zuhause ❤️ Die junge Hündin Belladonna, vermutlich ein Kokoni-Mix, wurde im Juli 2025 geboren. Sie hat eine Schulterhöhe von ca. 35 cm und wiegt etwa 9,5 kg. Belladonna hatte keinen guten Start ins Leben: Als Welpe angeschafft, wurde sie tierschutzwidrig auf einem Balkon gehalten, bis die Polizei sie schließlich befreite. Danach durfte sie einige Monate auf einer Pflegestelle leben, bevor sie nach Deutschland zu einer tierlieben Frau zog. Diese hatte bereits mehrere Katzen, jedoch keinerlei Hundeerfahrung und unterschätzte die Anforderungen eines jungen Hundes, sodass Belladonna schweren Herzens wieder abgegeben wurde. Belladonna ist eine lebhafte, aktive und unternehmungslustige junge Hündin, die noch viel lernen möchte. Sie liebt Spaziergänge und freut sich über Beschäftigung und gemeinsame Aktivitäten. In manchen Situationen reagiert sie noch schreckhaft auf Geräusche und verbellt diese teilweise aus Unsicherheit. Mit anderen Hunden ist Belladonna gut verträglich. Hundeerfahrene Katzen sind ebenfalls möglich. Die junge Hündin ist allerdings noch nicht stubenrein und benötigt weiterhin liebevolle, geduldige Anleitung. Für Belladonna wünschen wir uns ein ländliches, ruhiges und aktives Zuhause bei Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung oder der Bereitschaft, sich intensiv mit einem jungen Hund auseinanderzusetzen. Kleine Kinder sollten nicht im Haushalt leben. Belladonna sucht Menschen, die ihr Sicherheit geben, ihr die Welt zeigen und ihr endlich das schöne Hundeleben schenken, das sie verdient hat. 🐾 Wir vermitteln nicht in sehr städtische Regionen sowie in Familien mit Kleinkindern. Bitte stellen Sie nur eine Adoptionsanfrage, wenn die Übernahme zu o. g. Zeitpunkt möglich ist & Sie die Aufnahme eines neuen Familienmitglieds bereits mit Ihrer Familie (ggf. weiteren involvierten Personen wie Arbeitgeber, Vermieter, Zwischenbetreuung) besprochen haben. Bitte beachten Sie, dass sich die hier beschriebenen Hunde derzeit in ihrer Großpflegestelle oder im Tierheim in einer begrenzten, sicheren Umgebung aufhalten und wenig Kontakt zu anderen Menschen oder Umweltreizen außerhalb des Grundstücks haben. Die Beschreibungen basieren auf dem Verhalten in dieser vertrauten Umgebung. Insbesondere Welpen und Junghunde sind zudem noch in der Entwicklung ihres Charakters. Für eine erfolgreiche Eingewöhnung in ein neues Zuhause benötigen sie Zeit, Geduld und liebevolle Anleitung, um sich an die neue Umgebung und die verschiedenen Reize zu gewöhnen und zu sicheren Hunden heranzuwachsen.

About Belladonna

What life with Belladonna looks like

Belladonna is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Kreta Hunde (Tierschutz Heraklion) in Germany.

An young 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 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 Belladonna, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Belladonna?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Kreta Hunde (Tierschutz Heraklion) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Belladonna on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Belladonna if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Kreta Hunde (Tierschutz Heraklion) 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 Belladonna 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 Belladonna 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 Kreta Hunde (Tierschutz Heraklion) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Belladonna 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.
