Doris

Bernese Mountain Dog · Female · Adult · 4 years

Berner teef: Doris (28-05-2022) Publicatiedatum: 18-01-2025 Publicatiedatum update: 31-03-2025 Situatieschets Doris is als pup bij haar huidige eigenares, een alleenstaande oudere mevrouw, terechtgekomen. Daar lijkt zij een normale ontwikkeling te hebben doorgemaakt. Hieronder een korte opsomming van de belangrijkste kenmerken van Doris: Ze kan goed omgaan met andere dieren Ze gaat graag mee in de auto en gaat dan gelijk (aan de veiligheidsgordel) op haar plaid liggen Ze laat zich gemakkelijk en graag verzorgen Ze eet haar brokken uit een anti-schrok-bak Ze is relaxed bij de dierenarts Omdat Doris een aantal weken in een pension heeft gelogeerd, was ze weer een beetje teruggevallen in pubergedrag. Dat uitte zich bijvoorbeeld door veelvuldig opspringen. Nu ze sinds kort bij één van de kinderen van de huidige eigenares logeert heeft ze weer wat meer begeleiding en duidelijkheid en is ze weer beter bij de les. Mogelijk zal ze na de herplaatsing opnieuw terugvallen in pubergedrag, om opnie

About Doris

What life with Doris looks like

Doris is a adult bernese mountain dog dog waiting at Stichting Herplaatsing Sennenhonden in Netherlands.

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 Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Doris, answered.

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