Berta

Female · Young · 3 years

The police removed Bert from an apartment due to violations of the animal welfare standards - this is all the information about the dog's history that we have. We see her future in a family without small children and with experience in dog ownership. Berta can live both in an apartment (inside she is very well-behaved) and in a house, but with the mandatory possibility of sleeping indoors. Bert should be the only barking pet in the house. Also, the new owners will have to work so that each dog encountered during walks is not chased. Attending dog school would be highly recommended, as there is a sense of a German shepherd dog "energy" in Bert - not only her legs but also her mind should be trained, learning basic obedience skills. In short, this is a dog for people who, in addition to loving, are also willing to work with their dog, understanding its physical and mental needs.

Vilkveidīgo Bertu policija izņēma no kāda dzīvokļa par labturības normu pārkāpumiem – tā ir visa informācija par sunes pagātni, kas ir mūsu rīcībā. Viņas nākotni mēs redzam ģimenē bez maziem bērniem un ar pieredzi “suņkopībā”. Berta var dzīvot gan dzīvoklī (iekštelpās viņa ir ļoti kārtīga), gan privātmājā, taču ar obligātu iespēju nakšņot iekšā. Bertai jābūt vienīgajai rejošajai mīlulei mājās. Tāpat jaunajiem saimniekiem būs jāpiestrādā, lai pastaigu laikā katrs satiktais četrkājis netiktu apriets. Suņskolas apmeklējums būtu ļoti ieteicams, jo Bertā jaušama vācu aitu suņa “jauda” – viņai jānodarbina ne tikai kājas, bet arī prāts, apgūstot elementāras paklausības pamatzinības. Vārdu sakot – šis ir suns cilvēkiem, kuri papildus mīļošanai labprāt ar suni arī darbojas, izprotot tā fiziskās un garīgās vajadzības.

About Berta

What life with Berta looks like

Berta is a young adult dog waiting at Labās Mājas in Riga.

An 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 Latvia

The shelter typically completes the animal's vaccinations, microchipping, and pet passport before adoption. Specific fees and process details vary by shelter and country — confirm directly via the contact details in the sidebar.

Frequently asked

Adopting Berta, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Berta?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Labās Mājas 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 — Labās Mājas 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 Labās Mājas 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 (LV). 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.
