Adopt Bernice

Mixed Breed · Female

Female Date of Birth: Bernice is an adult cat whose age we believe to be a few years. Until a few months ago, she was part of a wild dog pack on a field in the outskirts of Bucharest. It took us some time to build a bond with her, and after she gained trust in us, we neutered her and returned her to the field where she spent her life. We were determined to do this because in just a few hours she had destroyed a transport crate and we feared she wouldn't tolerate captivity. Then, over time, we found Bernice more muscular and bloodied. We feared for her life and decided to take her in. She adapted so well that when we tried to take her for a walk, she refused to budge, being firm and unyielding. She did not want to go out on the street in any form. Of course, we couldn't convince her it was just for a walk, but we will continue to try. Bernice is now in the summer yard, meaning she is in heat. Her fur is oily and unkempt but not long. We recommend Bernice to a family with a yard. You should know that she is of medium size, very docile, friendly but also vigilant. If you want Bernice, contact us at:

Femela Data nasterii: Talie: Medie Sterilizata Bernice este o catelusa adulta despre care banuim ca ar avea putini ani. Pana acum cateva luni facea parte dintr-o haita de caini salbaticiti de pe un maidan din preajma Bucurestiului. Ne-a luat ceva timp sa ne imprietenim si dupa ce a capatat incredere in noi, am sterilizat-o si am lasat-o inapoi pe campul in care isi petrecea viata. Am fost determinati sa facem asta pentru ca in doar cateva ore a distrus o cusca de transport si ne-am temut ca nu va suporta captivitatea. Apoi in timp o gaseam pe Bernice mai mereu muscata si plina de sange. Ne-am temut pentru viata ei si am decis s-o luam la noi. S-a adaptat atat de bine incat cand am incercat s-o scoatem la plimbare s-a opintit si-a fost de neclintit. Nu voia sub nicio forma sa iasa pe strada. Desigur n-am reusit s-o convingem ca-i vorba doar de o plimbare, dar vom mai incerca. Bernice este acum in tinuta de vara adica e tunsa. Blana ei e deasa si stufoasa dar nu lunga. O recomandam pe Bernice unei familii care are curte. Trebuie sa stiti despre ea, ca e de talie medie, foarte docila, prietenoasa dar si vigilenta.

About Bernice

What life with Bernice looks like

Bernice is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Asociatia ROBI / 4animals.ro in Romania.

An 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 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 Bernice, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bernice?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Asociatia ROBI / 4animals.ro handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bernice on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bernice if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Asociatia ROBI / 4animals.ro 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 Bernice 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 Bernice 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 Asociatia ROBI / 4animals.ro early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bernice 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 (RO). 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.
