How do I contact the shelter about Stella?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Stella on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Stella if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein ARCA 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 Stella 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 Stella 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 ARCA e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Stella 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.

Stella

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

This charming young female dog is about one year old and comes from the shelter in Spain. She has already undergone some changes in her life and therefore meets new situations and unfamiliar people with a certain caution and reserve. However, once given the time she needs to settle in and build trust, she quickly reveals her true nature: a joyful, friendly, and open female dog who wants to enjoy life. With her lovable manner, she conquers hearts at full speed and is just as happy with shared activities as with quiet cuddle moments. She gets along very well with other dogs and shows herself to be social and compatible. Cats are just as much a part of her everyday life and pose no problem for her. For the young female dog, we wish for people who understand that she needs some time to settle in. Those who give her this patience will be rewarded with a loyal companion who blossoms a little more each day and shows her gratitude in her own special way. If you give a young female dog the chance at a loving home and enjoy helping her build security and trust, she could be the perfect companion for you.

Diese bezaubernde junge Hündin ist etwa 1 Jahr alt und stammt aus dem Tierschutz in Spanien. Sie hat bereits einige Veränderungen in ihrem Leben erlebt und begegnet neuen Situationen sowie fremden Menschen deshalb zunächst etwas vorsichtig und zurückhaltend. Gibt man ihr jedoch die Zeit, die sie braucht, um anzukommen und Vertrauen zu fassen, zeigt sie schnell ihr wahres Wesen: eine fröhliche, freundliche und aufgeschlossene Hündin, die das Leben genießen möchte. Mit ihrer liebenswerten Art erobert sie die Herzen im Sturm und freut sich über gemeinsame Aktivitäten ebenso wie über ruhige Kuschelmomente. Mit anderen Hunden versteht sie sich sehr gut und zeigt sich sozial und verträglich. Auch Katzen gehören für sie ganz selbstverständlich zum Alltag und stellen kein Problem dar. Für die junge Hündin wünschen wir uns Menschen, die Verständnis dafür haben, dass sie etwas Zeit zum Eingewöhnen benötigt. Wer ihr diese Geduld schenkt, wird mit einer treuen Begleiterin belohnt, die jeden Tag ein Stück mehr aufblüht und ihre Dankbarkeit auf ihre ganz eigene Weise zeigt. Wenn Sie einer jungen Hündin die Chance auf ein liebevolles Zuhause geben möchten und Freude daran haben, ihr Sicherheit und Vertrauen zu vermitteln, könnte sie genau die richtige Begleiterin für Sie sein.

About Stella

What life with Stella looks like

Stella is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. in Gernsbach.

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.
