Stella

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Stella is a female degu, approximately 5.5 years old, with a very sweet disposition. She is shy around people, but does not bite and enjoys cuddling with her friend Babsi. Unfortunately, Babsi has passed away and I am looking for a new home for Stella as soon as possible, as I have decided not to keep any more degus. Stella loves to run in her exercise wheel, which is very large, and she does this daily. As she is getting older, she also likes to relax or sleep. Stella is healthy and her teeth are normal. I can bring Stella to her new home in the Cologne area or meet interested parties there.

Unsere Stella sucht ein neues Zuhause. Sie ist weiblich, ca. 5,5 Jahre alt und hat einen sehr lieben Charakter. Stella ist allerdings scheu gegenüber Menschen, sie beißt nicht und hat gerne mit ihrer Freundin Babsi gekuschelt.Ihre Freundin ist leider verstorben und ich suche so schnell wie möglich ein neues Zuhause für Stella, da ich mich gegen weitere Degus entschieden habe. Sie mag es sehr, sich viel im Laufrad zu bewegen. Wir haben ein sehr großes Laufrad und sie bewegt sich täglich viel darin. Da sie nicht mehr die Jüngste ist, entspannt sie sich aber auch oft oder schläft. Stella ist nicht krank und auch die Zähne sind unauffällig. Im Umkreis von Köln könnte ich Stella in das neue Heim bringen oder Interessenten entgegenfahren.

About Stella

What life with Stella looks like

Stella is a extra-large adult mixed breed animal waiting at Deguhilfe Süd e.V. in Obermichelbach.

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. Deguhilfe Süd 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 — Deguhilfe Süd 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 Deguhilfe Süd 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.
