Berti (Берти)

Male · Young · 2 years

This amazing big bear is actually a kind and gentle dog named Bertie! Despite spending 2 years in a shelter, he is extremely calm and loving. He gets along great with everyone, loves to travel, and is ready for a new life outside the shelter. Bertie loves traveling by car, isn't bothered by noisy and crowded places, and is ready to go on new adventures. The only thing he needs at first is some time and space to relax. Please help us find the best family for him! Bertie's profile was created by Ralitsa Milanova, a certified trainer, with many years of experience in rehabilitation and trauma-informed approach when working with dogs. Supported by Dogs Trust and the assistance of the Sofia Municipality.

Този страхотен голям мечо всъщност е едно добродушно и нежно куче на име Берти! Въпреки че е прекарал 2 години в приют, той е изключително спокоен и обичлив. Разбира се чудесно с всички, обича да пътува и е готов за нов живот извън приюта. Берти обожава да пътува с кола, не се притеснява от шумни и натоварени места и е готов да се впусне в нови приключения. Единственото, което му е нужно в началото, е малко време и пространство, за да се отпусне. Моля, помогнете ни да намерим най-доброто семейство за него! Профилът на Берти е съставен от Ралица Миланова, сертифициран треньор, с дългогодишен опит в рехабилитацията и травма-информирания подход при работа с кучета. С подкрепата на Догс Тръст и съдействието на Столична община.

About Berti (Берти)

What life with Berti (Берти) looks like

Berti (Берти) is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at Ecoravnovesie Sofia in Sofia.

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 Bulgaria

Bulgarian shelters typically include full vet workup, sterilization, and passport. Many coordinate with EU rescue partners for direct transport to adopter cities in Germany, Netherlands, and Austria.

Frequently asked

Adopting Berti (Берти), answered.

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