Stella

French Bulldog · Female · Adult · 4 years

Stella is a charming, open-minded, and lively French Bulldog. She has always shown friendliness and composure towards other dogs at both our shelter and her previous dog shelter. She loves the company of humans, is delighted by affection, and is a pleasant, loyal companion in everyday life. Unfortunately, Stella experienced a tragic fate in her last home. A tragic incident occurred where a Yorkshire female dog lost her life. The exact circumstances are unclear as the dogs were unattended. After this event, Stella was isolated and condemned without the situation being fully clarified. We have taken her in to give her the chance for a new beginning without prejudice, with people who meet her with heart, patience, and responsibility. We are seeking for Stella: A loving home, preferably as a single dog or with a larger, calm male dog. People who have sufficient time, affection, and understanding for a special situation. A quiet household without small pets or children would be ideal. Dog experience is required, as well as dog training classes. Health notes on the breed French Bulldog: French Bulldogs are wonderful, lovable dogs. Unfortunately, they are also a breed that often suffers from the consequences of overbreeding. We want to be open and honest and advise potential owners to inform themselves beforehand. Typical health issues include: Brachycephalic Syndrome Spinal and intervertebral disc problems Skin and fold problems Allergies and food intolerances Eye problems Heat sensitivity We want Stella to go to a home that is aware of these possible health challenges and willing to provide her with the necessary veterinary support when needed.

Stella ist eine charmante, aufgeschlossene und lebensfrohe Französische Bulldogge. Bei uns sowie in ihrem vorherigen Hundehort hat sie sich stets freundlich und ausgeglichen gegenüber anderen Hunden gezeigt. Sie liebt die Nähe zu Menschen, freut sich über Zuwendung und ist im Alltag eine angenehme, treue Begleiterin. Leider hat Stella in ihrem letzten Zuhause ein schweres Schicksal erlebt. Es kam zu einem tragischen Vorfall, bei dem eine Yorkshire-Hündin ums Leben kam. Wie genau es dazu kam, lässt sich nicht rekonstruieren, da die Hunde unbeaufsichtigt waren. Nach diesem Geschehen wurde Stella isoliert und verurteilt, ohne dass die Situation wirklich aufgeklärt werden konnte. Wir haben sie aufgenommen, um ihr die Möglichkeit auf einen Neuanfang ohne Vorurteile zu geben bei Menschen, die ihr mit Herz, Geduld und Verantwortungsbewusstsein begegnen. Wir suchen für Stella: Ein liebevolles Zuhause, bevorzugt als Einzelhund oder gemeinsam mit einem grösseren, ruhigen Rüden. Menschen, die ausreichend Zeit, Zuwendung und Verständnis für eine besondere Situation haben. Ein ruhiger Haushalt ohne kleine Tiere oder Kinder wäre ideal. Hundeerfahrung ist Pflicht, genauso wie Hundeschule. Gesundheitliche Hinweise zur Rasse Französische Bulldogge: Französische Bulldoggen sind wundervolle, liebenswerte Hunde Leider aber auch eine Rasse, die häufig unter den Folgen der Überzüchtung leidet. Wir möchten offen und ehrlich darauf hinweisen, dass potenzielle Halter sich vorab gut informieren sollten. Zu den typischen gesundheitlichen Problemen gehören: Brachyzephales Syndrom Wirbelsäulen- und Bandscheibenprobleme Haut- und Faltenprobleme Allergien und Futtermittelunverträglichkeiten Augenprobleme Wärmeempfindlichkeit Wir möchten, dass Stella in ein Zuhause kommt, das sich dieser möglichen gesundheitlichen Herausforderungen bewusst ist und bereit ist, ihr im Bedarfsfall die notwendige tierärztliche Unterstützung zukommen zu lassen.

About Stella

What life with Stella looks like

Stella is a adult french bulldog dog waiting at Sitterhöfli in Engelburg.

An 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, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Stella?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Sitterhöfli 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 — Sitterhöfli 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 Sitterhöfli 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.
