Bertha

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Bertha ist eine junge, freundliche Hündin, die eine verspielte Seite mit einem angenehm ruhigen Wesen verbindet. Sie kann neugierig und lebhaft sein, lässt sich aber auch gerne Zeit und geht vieles in ihrem eigenen Tempo an. Damit bringt sie eine schöne Mischung aus Lebensfreude und Gelassenheit mit. Bei neuen Menschen und in ungewohnten Situationen ist Bertha zunächst etwas zurückhaltend. Sie beobachtet erst einmal, bevor sie sich öffnet. Meist findet sie sich jedoch schnell zurecht und zeigt dann ihre neugierige, verspielte und selbstbewusste Seite. Freundliche Ansprache und etwas Zeit helfen ihr dabei, Vertrauen zu fassen und sich sicher zu fühlen. Mit anderen Hunden versteht sich Bertha sehr gut. Im bisherigen Umgang zeigt sie sich gutmütig und ohne Aggression. Ein passender vorhandener Hund könnte deshalb durchaus zu ihrem neuen Zuhause gehören und ihr Gesellschaft leisten. Für Bertha wünschen wir uns Menschen, die sowohl ihre Spielfreude als auch ihre ruhigen Momente schätzen. Gemeinsame Spaziergänge, passende Beschäftigung und ausreichend Zeit zum Ausruhen würden gut zu ihr passen. Ihre neue Familie sollte ihr die Möglichkeit geben, in Ruhe anzukommen und Vertrauen aufzubauen, ohne sie zu etwas zu drängen. Vielleicht bist du genau der Mensch, bei dem Bertha in ihrem eigenen Tempo ankommen und mit ihrer neugierigen, verspielten Art ein Teil deiner Familie werden darf.

About Bertha

What life with Bertha looks like

Bertha is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein House of animals Marfino eV in Jessen (Elster).

A young 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.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bertha, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bertha?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein House of animals Marfino eV handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bertha on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bertha if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein House of animals Marfino eV 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Bertha 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 Bertha 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 Tierschutzverein House of animals Marfino eV early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bertha 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.
