How do I contact the shelter about Berta?

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

Can I adopt Berta if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Rex Kutyaotthon 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 Berta 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 Berta 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 Rex Kutyaotthon early rather than rehoming privately; they know Berta 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 (HU). 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.

Berta

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

The San Lazaro Foundation asked for help with a dog in placement, a dog that was kept on a chain, its owners moved away, and the dog was left behind. Berta is a 7-year-old spayed female dog. Her start was difficult, she came to our care under terrible conditions. Her previous owners moved away, leaving her chained up in the garden, in the middle of a pile of trash. Despite this, Berta is full of energy and boundless love. She is extremely people-oriented, shy, and affectionate. She has difficulty with being confined, she paces a lot in the kennel, so she needs an owner who can provide her with proper exercise, shared activities, and mental stimulation. Since most of her life was spent on a chain, she still needs to learn how to walk politely. She is very enthusiastic, pulls on the leash, and is interested in anything that moves. Right now, she reacts intensely to other dogs, but she can be well-socialized and trained in the hands of experts. We do not recommend her with cats, she feels best as the only dog. Berta can be an ideal choice even for first-time owners, provided they are committed to regular dog training. We also recommend her for families with older children, with outdoor and indoor keeping, so that she can finally become a fully valued and loved member of the family.

BEKERÜLÉSÉNEK KÖRÜLMÉNYEI: San Lazaro Alapítvány kért segítséget a kutya elhelyezésében, láncon tartott kutya volt, gazdái elköltöztek, kutya ott maradt Berta egy 7 éves ivartalanított kutyahölgy. Sorsa nehezen indult, borzasztó körülmények közül érkezett a gondozásunkba. Korábbi gazdái elköltöztek, őt pedig láncra verve, egy szemétkupac közepén hagyták sorsára a kertben. Ennek ellenére Berta tele van energiával és mérhetetlen szeretettel. Rendkívül emberközpontú, bújós és szeretetéhes típus. A bezártságot nehezen viseli, a kennelben sokat pörög, ezért olyan gazdára van szüksége, aki biztosítja számára a megfelelő mozgást, a közös foglalkozást és a mentális ingereket. Mivel élete nagy részét láncon töltötte, a kultúrált sétát még tanulnia kell. Kimondottan lelkes, húz a pórázon, és minden érdekli, ami mozog. Más kutyákra jelenleg intenzíven reagál, de szakértő kezekben jól szocializálható és tanítható. Macskák mellé nem ajánljuk, leginkább egyedüli kutyaként érzi jól magát. Berta ideális választás lehet akár kezdő gazdiknak is, amennyiben vállalják a rendszeres kutyaiskolát. Nagyobb gyerekek mellé is jó szívvel ajánljuk, kinti-benti tartás mellett, hogy végre egy család teljes értékű, szeretett tagja lehessen.

About Berta

What life with Berta looks like

Berta is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rex Kutyaotthon in Budapest.

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: Requires extensive socialization and training due to previous neglect and chaining

🇭🇺Adopting from Hungary

Hungarian shelters operate at high capacity given the country's stray population. Animals leave sterilized, chipped, and with a passport. Many shelters coordinate transport to Germany, Austria, and the Nordics.
