How do I contact the shelter about Stella?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Düsseldorf 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 — Tierheim Düsseldorf 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 Tierheim Düsseldorf 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.

Stella

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Stella is a大约14 kg, curious and very cuddly female dog who particularly enjoys the company of her humans. She loves attention and shows clingy and affectionate behavior. On the leash, Stella can sometimes react a bit insecurely and might "pout" at times. However, with clear and calm guidance, she can be easily corrected and shows herself to be trainable and willing to work on herself. Strangers can sometimes find Stella a bit suspicious at first. Nevertheless, she always tries to remain friendly and approaches new encounters openly and with good intentions – she just needs a bit of time to build trust. For Stella, we wish for a home with patient people who can give her security and continue to nurture her with love. With the right guidance, she will develop into a loyal and wonderful companion.

DE·Show original

Stella ist eine etwa 14 kg schwere, neugierige und sehr verschmuste Hündin, die die Nähe zu ihren Menschen besonders genießt. Sie liebt es, Aufmerksamkeit zu bekommen, und zeigt sich dabei anhänglich und liebevoll. An der Leine kann Stella gelegentlich noch etwas unsicher reagieren und „pöbelt“ dann schon mal. Mit klarer, ruhiger Führung lässt sie sich jedoch gut korrigieren und zeigt sich lernfähig sowie bereit, an sich zu arbeiten. Fremde Menschen findet Stella anfangs manchmal etwas suspekt. Dennoch ist sie stets bemüht, freundlich zu bleiben und begegnet neuen Begegnungen grundsätzlich offen und gut gesonnen – sie braucht einfach ein wenig Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Für Stella wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause bei geduldigen Menschen, die ihr Sicherheit geben und sie weiterhin liebevoll fördern. Mit der richtigen Führung wird sie sich zu einer treuen und wunderbaren Begleiterin entwickeln.

About Stella

What life with Stella looks like

Stella is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Düsseldorf in Düsseldorf.

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.
