Stella-6

Female · Young · 2 years

Country of Origin: Hungary Stella, the beautiful, strayed around Kecskemét on September 10, 2025, relatively thin, and naturally had no chip. We do not know how long she had been on her own or why she became homeless. There is a Facebook page where private individuals post about stray or missing dogs in Kecskemét, and Stella was posted there online the day before. Someone likely also went to the vet to check if she had a chip – she did not – and Stella was put back on the street. Stella then had the good fortune to run into the "right" people the next day and did not have to go to the animal shelter but could go to a private foster home. Despite that, Stella is still searching for a new home with loving people who have a plan for life and understand dogs, who will never leave her. Stella looks like a bodybuilder; she is very muscular, compact, and a bit overweight at the rear. She is a very friendly, loving, sensitive, open, and clingy female dog. She loves getting cuddles, enjoys when people take care of her and give her attention and affection, and has a lot of catch-up to do and doesn't want to miss out on it again. Stella also still needs to learn some things and her people should be happy to teach her everything she doesn't know yet. While on the leash, she already does a great job walking, but certainly has room for improvement, meaning: there is still work to be done on the finer details. She would definitely appreciate mental and physical challenges, as well as a lot of time spent in nature with her new people. Stella gets along well with other animals, but prefers a slow introduction. She does not like dominant dogs. At the foster home, she is daily with a male dog, which works well; she played with a four-month-old vacation dog, and she also has contact with the other dogs, which also works well. But one must be able to read dogs and give them security and orientation. Stella knows the muzzle, which she accepts well. Her new two-leggeds should also see the muzzle as a useful tool so she can gather many positive experiences without stress. When Stella was neutered, her elbows and hips were X-rayed, which are in good condition. The vet who set the chip and issued the pass estimated Stella to be around 1.5 years old, while the vet who neutered her estimated her to be between 3 and 5 years old. The truth likely lies somewhere in the middle. Stella is familiar with car rides, which she likes. For our wonderful Stella, we are looking for loving and adventure-loving dog lovers who will finally show her the sunny side of life, experienced people who love, understand, and can lead the nature of these dogs. Great two-leggeds who will make up for everything she missed and show her what it feels like to have a home that is caring and their own: their own food bowl, a soft bed, and people who will spoil her with many cuddles, exciting walks, and a full family connection. Who can be Stella's faithful companion? Since Stella is a staff mix, you should inform yourself about the housing conditions in your community if you are interested in her. Stella was tested negative for skin and heartworm in September 2025. Stella is ready for travel.

DE·Show original

Ursprungsland: Ungarn Die hübsche Stella irrte am 10. September 2025 herrenlos in Kecskemét umher, relativ dünn und natürlich hatte sie keinen Chip. Wie lange sie schon alleine unterwegs war und warum sie heimatlos wurde, wissen wir nicht. Es gibt eine Facebook-Seite, wo herrenlose oder vermisste Hunde in Kecskemét von Privatpersonen gepostet werde und Stella war am Vorabend dort online gestellt worden. Jemand ging wohl auch zum Tierarzt, um zu schauen, ob sie einen Chip hat – dem war nicht so – und man hatte Stella wieder auf die Strasse gestellt. Stella hatte dann das Glück, am nächsten Tag den «richtigen» Leuten zugelaufen zu sein und musste nicht ins Tierheim, sondern durfte auf eine private Pflegestelle. Trotzdem sucht Stella ein neues Zuhause, bei lieben Menschen mit einem Plan vom Leben und mit Hundeverstand, welche sie nie mehr im Stich lassen. Stella sieht aus wie ein Bodybuilder, sie ist sehr kräftig, muskulös, kompakt und hinten etwas überbaut. Sie ist eine sehr freundliche, liebe, sensible, aufgeschlossene und anhängliche Hündin. Sie holt sich gerne Streicheleinheiten ab, mag, wenn man sich um sie kümmert und ihr Aufmerksamkeit und Zuneigung schenkt , da hat sie viel Nachholbedarf und möchte dies nie mehr missen. Auch muss Stella noch etwas die Schulbank drücken und ihre Menschen sollten Freude daran haben, ihr alles Notwendige beizubringen, was sie noch nicht kennt. Das an der Leine Laufen macht sie schon ganz prima, ist aber sicherlich noch ausbaufähig, sprich: an den Feinheiten kann man noch arbeiten. Über geistige wie körperliche Auslastung würde sie sich bestimmt auch freuen, ebenso über viel gemeinsame Zeit in der Natur mit ihren neuen Menschen. Mit ihren Artgenossen versteht sich Stella gut, bevorzugt aber ein langsames Kennenlernen. Dominante Hunde mag sie nicht. Auf der Pflegestelle ist sie täglich mit einem Rüden zusammen, was prima klappt, sie spielte mit einem vier Monate alten Ferienhund, und auch mit den anderen Hunden ist sie in Kontakt, auch das funktioniert gut. Aber man muss Hunde lesen können und ihr Sicherheit und Orientierung geben. Stella kennt den Maulkorb, welchen sie gut akzeptiert. Ihre neuen Zweibeiner sollten den Maulkorb auch als nützliches Hilfsmittel ansehen, damit sie ohne Stress viele positive Erfahrungen sammeln kann. Als Stella kastriert wurde, wurden gleich Ellbogen und Hüfte geröntgt, welche in Ordnung sind. Im Rücken hat sie leichte Spondylose. Der Tierarzt, welcher den Chip setzte und den Pass ausstellte, schätzte Stella auf ca. eineinhalb Jahre, der Tierarzt, welcher sie kastriert hatte, auf drei bis fünf Jahre. Vermutlich wird die Wahrheit in der Mitte liegen. Stella kennt Autofahren in der Box, was ihr gut gefällt. Für unsere wunderbare Stella suchen wir liebe und unternehmungslustige Hundefreunde, welche ihr endlich die Sonnenseite des Lebens zeigen, rassenerfahrene Menschen, welche das Wesen und die Charaktereigenschaften dieser Hunde lieben, verstehen und führen können. Tolle Zweibeiner, welche mit ihr all das Verpasste nachholen und ihr zeigen, wie es sich anfühlt, ein eigenes, fürsorgliches Zuhause zu haben: einen eigenen Futternapf, ein weiches Bettchen und eigene Menschen, welche sie mit vielen Streicheleinheiten verwöhnen, spannende Spaziergänge und vollen Familienanschluss bieten. Wem darf Stella eine treue Begleiterin sein?Da Stella eine Staffmixhündin ist, müssen Sie sich bei Interesse an ihr in Ihrer Wohngemeinde über deren Haltungsbedingungen informieren. Stella wurde im September 2025 negativ auf Haut- und Herzwurm getestet. Stella ist reisefertig.

About Stella-6

What life with Stella-6 looks like

Stella-6 is a young adult dog waiting at Animal Happyend in Animal Happyend.

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting Stella-6, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Stella-6?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Animal Happyend handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Stella-6 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Stella-6 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Animal Happyend 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-6 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-6 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 Animal Happyend early rather than rehoming privately; they know Stella-6 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.
