Stella

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Hello you two-leggeds, I am Stella, together with my daughter Gina and my friend Lucy, I was given up to the animal shelter. Now that I've been here for some time, I thought I'd give a little update on myself. I am a people-oriented and cuddly female dog who still needs a lot of guidance and orientation. I am still quite skeptical of strangers, but I open up to them quite quickly, as long as they don't inadvertently "threaten" me. I place a great deal of importance on proper body language and can quickly build trust. Once I've closed my heart to you, I follow you at every step. I like to play with my primary caregiver or let them rub my belly. Of course, I also find treats wonderful and show myself to be very eager to learn. When it comes to walking on the leash, I still need a lot of support, as I often feel insecure on the leash and still need to learn to rely on people even in stressful situations. Honestly, I no longer have much enthusiasm for so much responsibility in my life, but of course, you must prove yourself capable of taking it on. Small children should not be in my new home, though. So if you feel up for a small challenge, have dog experience, and want to go to the dog training classes with me, then please sign up here at the animal shelter and make an appointment to meet me. Until then, I am waiting here for you.

Hallo ihr Zweibeiner, ich bin die Stella, zusammen mit meiner Tochter Gina und meiner Freundin Lucy wurde ich im Tierheim abgegeben. Nun bin ich ja schon einige Zeit hier und dachte, ich gebe mal ein kleines Update zu mir. Ich bin eine menschenbezogene und verkuschelte Hundedame, die noch viel Führung und Orientierung braucht. Fremden Menschen gegenüber bin ich noch recht skeptisch, öffne mich diesen aber recht schnell, sofern sie mich nicht aus Versehen "bedrohen". Ich lege einen großen Wert auf die richtige Körpersprache und kann darüber sehr schnell Vertrauen aufbauen. Habe ich Dich einmal in mein Herz geschlossen, folge ich Dir am liebsten auf Schritt und Tritt. Ich spiele gerne mit meiner Bezugsperson oder lasse mir den Bauch kraulen. Natürlich finde ich auch Leckerchen klasse und zeige mich sehr lernwillig. Beim Spazierengehen an der Leine brauche ich noch viel Unterstützung, da ich an der Leine häufig noch unsicher werde und erst noch lernen muss, mich auch in stressigen Situationen auf den Menschen verlassen zu können. Eigentlich habe ich keine Lust mehr auf so viel Verantwortung in meinem Leben, aber natürlich musst Du Dich dafür als fähig beweisen, diese von mir zu nehmen. Kleine Kinder sollte es in meinem neuen Zuhause allerdings nicht geben. Wenn Ihr Euch also einer kleinen Herausforderung gewachsen fühlt, Ihr Hundeerfahrung habt und mit mir in die Hundeschule gehen wollt, dann meldet Euch doch mal hier im Tierheim und macht einen Termin zum Kennenlernen aus. Bis dahin warte ich hier auf Euch. Eure Stella

About Stella

What life with Stella looks like

Stella is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. in Remagen.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
