How do I contact the shelter about Stella?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierfreunde Patras 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 — Tierfreunde Patras 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 Tierfreunde Patras 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.

Stella

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Stella lives in a pension in Patras / Greece. VIDEOS AVAILABLE !!! female dog/castrated born. ca April 2025Size: ca 49 cm Stella was tied up and left alone outside Maria’s Garden after being discovered. Naturally, Maria took immediate care of the stray, brought her to the vet, where she was vaccinated and neutered. Afterwards, Stella came to stay in the local pension, where she now waits for her new family. The pension owner tells Maria that Stella is a super loving female dog who begs for love and cuddles and always has a playfulness about her, which is due to her young age. Stella lives comfortably with a male dog in a yard, but is allowed to roam freely on the property with the other dogs every day. Stella knows nothing when she comes to her people in Germany. With love and a lot of patience, she can learn everything that goes into being a good dog, and will surely be a wonderful companion for her family. Upon her arrival, Stella is vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed. She also has her own EU pet passport in her luggage.

About Stella

What life with Stella looks like

Stella is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierfreunde Patras e.V. in Ratingen.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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.
