Stella

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Wenn man bedenkt, was diese Hündin bereits durchmachen musste und welch schlechte Erfahrungen sie vor ihrer Ankunft bei Cornelia mit Menschen machen musste, dann ist man doch erstaunt, dass Stella ein so menschenbezogener Hund ist. Sie befand sich ursprünglich im Besitz eines Schäfers. Dort wurde die Hündin sich quasi selbst überlassen, nicht einmal ausreichend Futter bekam sie vorgesetzt. Als Stella dann völlig abgemagert und von einer schlimmen Augenentzündung geplagt, wohl nicht mehr nützlich war, gelang es Cornelia, sie dem Besitzer abzunehmen. Leider musste ein Auge operativ entfernt werden, das andere konnte zwar erhalten werden, aber die Entzündung hatte das Sehvermögen bereits unwiderruflich geschädigt, sodass die hübsche Hündin nun komplett blind ist. Stella versteht sich bestens mit allen anderen Hunden, sie liebt jede Form der Aufmerksamkeit und geniesst es, wenn man sie streichelt, sich einfach mit ihr beschäftigt. Für diese tolle Hündin hoffen wir nun sehr, dass sich ein passendes und liebevolles Zuhause finden lässt. Stella kommt gut mit ihrer Behinderung zurecht, sie sollte in ein ruhiges Umfeld ziehen dürfen, gerne dürfte auch ein Hund im neuen Zuhause leben. Lassen Sie sich bitte nicht von Stellas Blindheit abschrecken, sie kompensiert den Verlust des Augenlichts hervorragend, geht sehr gerne spazieren und wirkt wie ein „ ganz normaler“ Hund. Falls Sie Stella eine Chance geben möchten, dann melden Sie sich doch bitte bei uns.

About Stella

What life with Stella looks like

Stella is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio Canalba e.V. in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.

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. Rifugio Canalba 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 — Rifugio Canalba 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 Rifugio Canalba 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.
