Nella

Female · Young · 3 years

Nella is a clever, energetic girl who loves walks, playing with balls, and using her nose. She enjoys spending time with her favourite people and really benefits from having a strong bond and clear routine. She is not a fan of being left home alone and would love a family that can be around all the time to begin with, before building up any time left very slowly. She’ll hop into a car though, and travels quietly, so while she’d love a bit of confidence building around this, she could join her family on trips out to quiet locations. Given the right guidance Nella has so much potential. She’s already making lovely progress with training and building positive relationships. If you’re looking for a loyal, active companion and are ready to invest in her journey, Nella could be a truly rewarding addition to your life Nella is an active 3yr old German Shepherd who is looking for a calm, adult-only home. She can take a couple of meets before she’s comfortable with new people, but with those she knows she loves nothing more than to sit on your lap. Nella has potential to live with another dog. This will very much depend on the other dog and their tolerance levels. Nella is under-socialised and so can be vocal and nippy at first. A tolerant dog that can teach Nella how to be a dog would be a good match. Nella is noise sensitive and so would love to live in a quieter location. A secure garden of her own is a must to help her feel confident and secure.

About Nella

What life with Nella looks like

Nella is a young adult dog waiting at Dogs Trust Evesham in Evesham.

A 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 United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nella, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nella?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Evesham handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nella on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nella if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Evesham 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Nella 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 Nella 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 Dogs Trust Evesham early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nella 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 (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
