Stella

Spanish Mastiff · Female · Young · 1 year

Het is zo'n verhaal dat je nauwelijks kan geloven. Zo onwerkelijk dat je hoopt dat het niet waar is. Maar helaas, het was wél waar. Stella en Lilo woonden samen met hun baasjes in een grote villa. Ze dachten daar thuis te zijn, veilig en geliefd. Tot hun baasjes het huis verkochten en met de noorderzon vertrokken. De honden lieten ze gewoon achter. Alsof ze bij het huis hoorden en de nieuwe eigenaars hen er maar bij moesten nemen. En toen begon hun nachtmerrie pas echt. De nieuwe eigenaar wilde Stella en Lilo niet houden en dreigde ermee hen af te maken. Mensen uit de omgeving probeerden wanhopig een oplossing te vinden, maar niemand kon of wilde hen opvangen. De tijd drong, want de man had zijn geweer al klaar en werd steeds bozer omdat het volgens hem te lang duurde voordat de honden werden opgehaald. Stella en Lilo begrepen natuurlijk niets van wat er gebeurde. Ze waren bang en in paniek en voelden maar al te goed deze negativiteit aan. Twee trouwe honden die jarenlang een thuis hadden gekend, waren plotseling niet meer gewenst en moesten vrezen voor hun leven. Gelukkig konden we hen op tijd weghalen en kwamen ze veilig onder onze hoede. Nu hopen we uit de grond van ons hart dat hun geluk eindelijk mag keren. Stella en Lilo zijn grotere honden, maar ook zij verdienen een warm thuis en een gezin dat hen nooit meer in de steek laat. Met voldoende ruimte, liefde en aandacht kunnen ook zij heerlijke gezinshonden worden! Wie geeft Stella of Lilo een kans op een nieuw begin?

About Stella

What life with Stella looks like

Stella is a young adult spanish mastiff dog waiting at ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) in Spain.

A 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 Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

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. ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) 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 — ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) 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 (NL). 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.
