How do I contact the shelter about Berta?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. 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 — Pfotenhilfe Sachsen 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 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 Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. 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 (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.

Berta

Mixed Breed · Female

There are difficult dogs and then there are ... Berta. One can only speak highly of the little "mouse." She is a very beautiful female dog at the best age. Character-wise, she is very well-balanced, calm, and she adjusts very quickly to new conditions. If Berta moves into a new family, she will make it easy for her people. Berta is house-trained and she walks very well on a leash. She is affectionate, cuddly, seeks cuddles, and is obedient, happy, and very smart. She gets along well with her fellow animals. Unfortunately, there are no experiences with cats in the foster family. Additionally, no children live in the foster home, so we cannot give any guaranteed references regarding that. However, we think that due to Berta's great character, there should be no problems at least with dog-savvy and larger children. So, if someone is looking for a small, unproblematic female dog, they will find the perfect companion with Berta! BERTA, with her approximately 6 to 7 kilograms, is a smaller adult black female dog.

Es gibt schwierige Hunde und es gibt … Berta. Man kann über die kleine „Maus“ einfach nur Gutes berichten. Sie ist eine sehr schöne kleine Hündin im besten Alter. Vom Charakter her ist sie sehr ausgeglichen, ruhig und sie passt sich sehr schnell an neue Bedingungen an. Wenn Berta in eine neue Familie ziehen wird, dann wird sie es ihren Menschen leicht machen. Berta ist stubenrein und sie läuft sehr gut an der Leine. Sie ist liebevoll, verschmust, sucht Streicheleinheiten und ist folgsam, fröhlich und sehr schlau. Mit ihren Artgenossen versteht sich die kleine Hündin sehr gut. Erfahrungen, ob es auch mit Katzen klappen würde, gibt es in der Pflegefamilie leider nicht. Außerdem leben keine Kinder in der Pflegestelle, so dass wir dazu keine gesicherten Hinweise geben können. Doch wir denken, dass es aufgrund von Bertas tollem Charakter zumindest bei hundeerfahrenen und größeren Kindern keine Probleme geben sollte. Also, wer eine kleine unproblematische Hündin sucht, der wird mit Berta die perfekte Begleiterin finden! BERTA ist mit ihren ca. 6 bis 7 Kilo eine kleinere erwachsene schwarze Hündin. Sie ist sehr ausgeglichen und ruhig, und passt sich besonders schnell an neue Umgebungen an

About Berta

What life with Berta looks like

Berta is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. in Germany.

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 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.
