Belle

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

Belle is a friendly, calm female dog who loves to find her place in a quiet environment. She seeks contact with people on her own, without being pushy, and enjoys being petted. She is neutral towards strangers - after a brief sniffing she usually retreats again. In her foster home, Belle shows a remarkably relaxed nature: she settles down well, sleeps a lot and finds cozy resting places on her own. She behaves respectfully with other dogs as long as they are given enough space and peace. A confident, calm dog companion would be welcome, but young and very active dogs would be too exhausting for her. Belle currently lives with cats and encounters them neutral to cautiously. She enjoys walks, but prefers shorter rounds. She likes to lie in the sun and sniff around in the garden. She is house trained, can be left alone for a few hours - whether with another dog or alone - and behaves unproblematically. She masters car travel calmly. She shows only minimal hunting instinct with poultry. We wish Belle a home with people who can offer her a quiet environment. She is also suitable for inexperienced dog owners or older people who want to share beautiful years together. It is important that she is patiently and positively guided in case of uncertainties - for example on slippery floors. Belle is an older dog who is no longer as mobile physically and needs a lot of rest - up to 20 hours of sleep a day is normal for her. In return, she gives her human faithful, calm companionship and a gentle nature that you immediately fall in love with. After a positive preliminary check and for a deposit of 160 euros, Belle can be sterilized, vaccinated, chipped and given an EU passport to make her way to you. Belle can be visited and met in 03238 Massen-Niederlausitz OT Betten by prior arrangement.

Belle ist eine freundliche, ausgeglichene Hündin, die es liebt, in einer ruhigen Umgebung ihren Platz zu finden. Sie sucht von sich aus den Kontakt zu Menschen, ohne aufdringlich zu sein, und genießt es, gestreichelt zu werden. Fremden gegenüber verhält sie sich neutral – nach kurzem Beschnuppern zieht sie sich meist wieder zurück. In ihrem Pflegezuhause zeigt Belle ein bemerkenswert entspanntes Wesen: Sie kommt gut zur Ruhe, schläft viel und findet selbstständig gemütliche Liegeplätze. Mit anderen Hunden zeigt sie sich respektvoll, solange ihr genügend Raum und Ruhe gelassen werden. Ein souveräner, ruhiger Hundekumpel wäre willkommen, junge und sehr aktive Hunde wären für sie jedoch zu anstrengend. Belle lebt aktuell mit Katzen zusammen und begegnet ihnen neutral bis vorsichtig. Spaziergänge unternimmt sie gerne, bevorzugt jedoch kürzere Runden. Im Garten liegt sie gerne in der Sonne und schnuppert entspannt umher. Sie ist stubenrein, kann einige Stunden allein bleiben – ob mit einem anderen Hund oder alleine – und verhält sich dabei unproblematisch. Autofahren meistert sie gelassen. Jagdtrieb zeigt sie nur minimal bei Geflügel. Für Belle wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause bei Menschen, die ihr ein ruhiges Umfeld bieten können. Sie eignet sich auch für hundeunerfahrene Anfänger:innen oder ältere Menschen, die ihr noch schöne gemeinsame Jahre ermöglichen möchten. Wichtig ist, dass sie bei Unsicherheiten – z. B. auf glatten Böden – geduldig und positiv angeleitet wird. Belle ist eine ältere Hündin, die körperlich nicht mehr ganz so beweglich ist und viel Ruhe braucht – bis zu 20 Stunden Schlaf am Tag sind für sie normal. Dafür schenkt sie ihrem Menschen treue, unaufgeregte Gesellschaft und ein sanftes Wesen, das man sofort ins Herz schließt. Nach einer positiven Vorkontrolle und gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 160 Euro darf sich Belle kastriert, geimpft, gechippt und mit EU-Ausweis auf den Weg zu Ihnen machen. Nach vorheriger Absprache darf Belle in 03238 Massen- Niederlausitz OT Betten besucht und kennengelernt werden.

About Belle

What life with Belle looks like

Belle is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. in Germany.

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.

🇩🇪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 Belle, answered.

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