Berna

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Temperament: a-bit-shy Berna can be somewhat cautious when meeting new people. She allows handling gently but lacks experience with humans. As we spend time with her, she gradually relaxes, enjoys being petted, and truly savors the attention. We are looking for a secure and understanding family for Berna, one that can gently introduce her to new environments both at home and beyond. She has no prior experience living in a home, so she will need patient guidance to settle in and explore at her own pace. Berna would do well living with another dog but can also thrive as an only dog. She is friendly toward other dogs and reads situations carefully. Observations: Smiley girl Preferences: A slow and steady approach Available adoption in: UK, Sweden

About Berna

What life with Berna looks like

Berna is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at ROLDA in Galati.

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.

Note from the shelter: Needs patient guidance as she has no prior experience living in a home

🇷🇴Adopting from Romania

Romanian rescues handle the highest volume of cross-border adoptions in the EU. Animals are quarantined and fully vetted before transport. Reputable rescues maintain detailed health records and post-adoption follow-up.

Frequently asked

Adopting Berna, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Berna?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ROLDA 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 — ROLDA 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 ROLDA 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 (EN). 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.
