Adopt Stella

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 11 years

The black-and-white calf was born on January 26, 2015, as a twin on the farm right next to the Schutzengel-Büro. That was her luck, because it led the farmer to contact the Schutzengel für Tiere to see if they might not have wanted Stella as a gift. Female twin calves are usually infertile and therefore not useful for the farmer as milk cows. For the fattening herd, they are actually too delicate. So a dealer would have only paid the farmer six euros (!) for Stella. Fortunately, the farmer did not want to degrade the calf to a "throwaway item." Stella now lives, having grown robustly, with the also rescued twin calves Luna and Chelsea in the herd of our foster home Rehden in Niedersachsen.

Das schwarz-bunte Kalb kam am 26.01.2015 als Zwilling auf dem Hof gleich gegenüber vom Schutzengel-Büro zur Welt. Das war ihr Glück, denn so sprach der Landwirt die Schutzengel für Tiere an, ob sie Stella nicht geschenkt haben möchten. Weibliche Zwillingskälber sind in der Regel unfruchtbar und deshalb für den Landwirt als Milchkuh nicht zu gebrauchen. Für die Mast sind sie eigentlich zu zierlich. So hätte ihm ein Händler nur sechs Euro (!) für Stella bezahlt. Glücklicherweise wollte der Bauer das Kalb aber nicht zum „Wegwerfartikel“ degradieren. Stella lebt, inzwischen kräftig gewachsen, mit den ebenfalls in 2015 geretteten Zwillingskälbern Luna und Chelsea in der Herde unserer Pflegestelle Rehden in Niedersachsen.

About Stella

What life with Stella looks like

Stella is a medium-sized senior mixed breed animal waiting at Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. in Drolshagen.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Stella far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇩🇪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. Schutzengel für Tiere 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 — Schutzengel für Tiere 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 animals 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 Schutzengel für Tiere 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.
