How do I contact the shelter about Berna?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Berna on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Berna if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Herz für Streuner 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 Berna 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 Berna 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 Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Berna 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.

adoption requirements adoption process Adopt this animal now! adoption requirements adoption process Berna can stay forever in your foster home! Her story: 37412 Herzberg. Berna has settled well in her foster family. She finds her place in the existing dog pack perfectly. She is an alert, bright German Shorthaired Pointer puppy, but she has shown no prey drive so far. Berna is very attentive to her people and loves to snuggle. She has a lot to make up for and always wants to be included. She is absolutely house-trained from the start. She knows life in a house, despite her handicap, a few stairs are no problem. However, an apartment without stairs would be preferable. She is friendly, open, and approachable with strangers. During dog encounters, she shows caution to disinterest. Because she cannot be physically very active, her sniffing and searching games bring her a lot of joy. Due to the old fracture of her right leg, she cannot do long walks. Short distances are possible, though. A garden in the new home would also suit Berna. She loves to lie in the sun and observe everything around her. A family with children would not be suitable for Berna, as it would overwhelm her. A quiet home in the countryside, preferably with older people, would be great. A nice dog buddy could also be in the new home, whether male or female. Currently, Berna is starting physiotherapy to better adapt to her right leg. She also loves to go swimming! Berna is 9.5 years old according to her passport, but the foster family believes she is much younger, measuring 50 cm tall and weighing around 20 kg. Due to her neutered status, she is not allowed to enter Switzerland and Austria. In her new home, the pretty neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and flea-treated, as well as with her own EU pet passport. Who will give Berna the chance at a beautiful home? Many thanks, Marita R.! You named Berna and support her with a monthly sponsorship! As of: 31.03.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Berna darf für immer in ihrer Pflegestelle bleiben! Ihre Geschichte: 37412 Herzberg. Berna ist gut in ihrer Pflegefamilie angekommen. Sie findet sich im vorhandenen Hunde Rudel super zurecht. Sie ist ein aufgewecktes, hellwaches Hundemädchen von der Rasse her ein Deutsch-Drahthaar, hat aber bisher keinerlei Jagdtrieb. Berna achtet sehr auf ihre Menschen und liebt es zu kuscheln. Sie hat viel nachzuholen und möchte immer dabei sein. Sie ist absolut stubenrein von Beginn an. Sie kennt das Leben im Haus, trotz ihres Handicaps sind wenige Treppen kein Problem. Jedoch wäre ein ebenerdiges zu Hause wünschenswert. Zu fremden Menschen ist sie freundlich, aufgeschlossen und zugänglich. Bei Hundebegegnungen zeigt sie sich vorsichtig bis desinteressiert. Da sie körperlich nicht sehr stark ausgelastet werden kann machen ihr Schnüffeln und Suchspiele besonders viel Spaß. Durch den alten Bruch des rechten Beines kann sie keine längeren Spaziergänge machen. Kurze Strecken sind aber gut möglich. Ein Garten im neuen zu Hause würden Berna sicher auch reichen. Sie liegt gerne in der Sonne und beobachtet alles um sie herum. Für Berna wäre eine Familie mit Kindern nicht geeignet, das würde sie überfordern. Ein ruhiges zu Hause auf dem Land, gerne auch bei älteren Menschen wäre toll. Ein netter Hundekumpel könnte auch im neuen zu Hause sein, dabei ist es egal ob Rüde oder Hündin. Aktuell beginnt Berna eine Physiotherapie, damit sie noch besser mit ihrem rechten Bein zurechtkommt. Sie liebt es übrigens auch schwimmen zu gehen! Berna ist lt. Pass 9,5 Jahre alt, die Pflegefamilie glaubt jedoch dass sie um einiges jünger sein dürfte, sie ist 50 cm groß und wiegt ca. 20 kg. Aufgrund ihrer kupierten Rute darf sie nicht in die Schweiz und Österreich einreisen. In ihr neues Zuhause zieht die Hübsche kastriert, gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht, sowie mit eigenem EU-Heimtierausweis. Nach positiver Vorkontrolle und gegen eine verminderte Schutzgebühr von 325 Euro steht einem Umzug nichts mehr im Wege. Wer gibt Berna die Chance auf ein schönes Zuhause? Vielen Dank Marita R.! Du hast Berna ihren Namen geschenkt und unterstützt sie auch mit einer monatlichen Patenschaft! Stand: 31.03.2024

About Berna

What life with Berna looks like

Berna is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
