Adopt BellaRasse

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Name: Bella. Breed: Bracke-mixed breed. Gender: Female. Birthdate: 15.12.2023. Color: Red with a black mantle. Birthplace: Greece. Size: Large (approx. 50cm). The pretty Bella was found alone in the forest. She was severely underweight and in poor condition. Our animal rescuer took her in, and she now lives in a house on the property. Bella’s demeanor is impressive: the kind female dog is very friendly, social, and clingy. She gets along well with other animals, and even children and cats are her friends. Bella is also perfect as a second dog. In the house, she is very calm and seeks out the company of people. The pretty snout-loving Bella loves to lie in her cozy bed, but she also enjoys long walks—especially for sniffing and exploring.

Farbe: Rot mit schwarzem MantelGeburtsland: GriechenlandGröße: Groß (ca. 50cm) Die hübsche Bella wurde ganz alleine im Wald gefunden. Sie war stark abgemagert und in einem schlechten Zustand.

Sie versteht sich sehr gut mit Artgenossen, auch Kinder und Katzen sind ihre Freunde. Bella ist auch als Zweithund perfekt geeignet. Im Haus ist sie sehr ruhig und gelassen und sucht immer die Nähe zu den Menschen. Die hübsche Fellnase liebt es, in ihrem Kuschelkörbchen zu liegen, aber noch toller sind lange Gassirunden – zum Schnüffeln und Entdecken.

About BellaRasse

What life with BellaRasse looks like

BellaRasse is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Elpida & Esperanza, Hoffnung für Straßenhunde e.V. in Heppenheim.

An young 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting BellaRasse, answered.

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