Bessy

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Bessy is an approximately 3-year-old, incredibly loving and gentle female dog who is finally ready to be the center of attention and find her own forever home. She is initially cautious around new people and unfamiliar situations, but she is also curious and wants to know what is happening around her. If you give her some time and approach her calmly and lovingly, she can gradually gain trust and show her wonderful nature. In the past, Bessy had a very special task: she raised her puppies and proved to be a great and caring mom. She lovingly accompanied her little ones - and now we think it's Bessy's turn. We are looking for people who can give her the time to settle in, provide her with security, and appreciate her gentle nature. Bessy should experience what it feels like to have her own home, be loved, and just be a dog. She has given her puppies a start in life - now Bessy deserves her own ticket to happiness. Who would like to show this wonderful dog mom that her new life is beginning?

DE·Show original

Bessy ist eine etwa 3 Jahre alte, unglaublich liebe und sanfte Hündin, die nun endlich selbst im Mittelpunkt stehen und ihr eigenes Für-immer-Zuhause finden darf. Bei neuen Menschen und unbekannten Situationen ist Bessy anfangs noch etwas vorsichtig. Gleichzeitig ist sie aber neugierig und möchte wissen, was um sie herum passiert. Gibt man ihr ein wenig Zeit und begegnet ihr ruhig und liebevoll, kann sie Schritt für Schritt Vertrauen fassen und ihre wundervolle Art zeigen. In der Vergangenheit hatte Bessy eine ganz besondere Aufgabe: Sie hat ihre Welpen großgezogen und sich dabei als ganz tolle und fürsorgliche Mama gezeigt. Ihre Kleinen hat sie liebevoll begleitet – und jetzt finden wir, dass auch Bessy endlich an der Reihe ist. Für sie wünschen wir uns Menschen, die ihr die nötige Zeit zum Ankommen geben, ihr Sicherheit vermitteln und ihre sanfte Art zu schätzen wissen. Bessy soll erfahren dürfen, wie es sich anfühlt, ein eigenes Zuhause zu haben, geliebt zu werden und einfach Hund sein zu dürfen. Ihre Welpen hat sie auf den Weg gebracht – jetzt verdient auch Bessy ihr ganz persönliches Ticket ins Glück. Wer möchte dieser wundervollen Hundemama zeigen, dass nun ihr neues Leben beginnt?

About Bessy

What life with Bessy looks like

Bessy is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fellnasen Stuttgart e.V. in Stuttgart.

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 Bessy, answered.

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