Rita

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

March 2021 | 48cm | 20kg | Rhodos Animal Shelter Rita is a wonderful, friendly dog with an impressive sweet character. She is 3 years old and full of joy for life. Rita loves to be pampered - cuddles and attention are her absolute favorites! In addition, she is very people-oriented and enjoys the proximity of her loved ones very much. She gets along well with other dogs and is a cheerful, playful companion for life. Her friendly and active nature makes her the perfect dog for active people and as a second dog we can imagine Rita very well. Rita was rescued in the summer from a small village and has been doing well in the animal shelter since then. But now it's time for her to find her own family where she can belong. PAW HEROES e.V.

*März 2021 | 48cm | 20kg | Tierheim Rhodos Rita ist eine wundervolle, freundliche Hündin mit einem beeindruckend süßen Charakter. Sie ist 3 Jahre alt und voller Lebensfreude. Rita liebt es, verwöhnt zu werden – Kuscheleinheiten und Aufmerksamkeiten sind ihre absoluten Favoriten! Außerdem ist sie sehr menschenbezogen und genießt die Nähe ihrer Bezugspersonen sehr. Sie kommt hervorragend mit anderen Hunden zurecht und ist eine fröhliche, verspielte Begleiterin für das ganze Leben. Ihre freundliche und sportliche Art macht sie zum perfekten Hund für aktive Menschen und auch als Zweithund können wir uns Rita sehr gut vorstellen. Rita wurde im Sommer aus einem kleinen Dorf gerettet und hat sich seitdem gut im Tierheim eingelebt. Jetzt ist es aber an der Zeit, dass sie ihre eigene Familie findet, in der sie ankommen kann.

About Rita

What life with Rita looks like

Rita is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at og:image in Germany.

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 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Rita, answered.

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