How do I contact the shelter about Rita?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Nordic Strays e.V. 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 — Nordic Strays 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 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 Nordic Strays e.V. 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.

Load More .fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-39 > .fusion-body .fusion-flex-container Rita sucht Menschen mit Energie, Humor – und idealerweise ohne Tauben im Garten. Manche Hunde starten mit einem Kuschelkörbchen ins Leben. Rita hatte keinen Bilderbuchstart. Die ersten Monate ihres Lebens verbrachte sie gemeinsam mit ihren Geschwistern sehr abgeschieden und bekam von der Welt da draußen kaum etwas mit. Umso schöner ist es heute zu sehen, was für eine fröhliche, offene und lebenslustige junge Hündin aus ihr geworden ist. Rita hat beschlossen, sich von ihrer Vergangenheit nicht die Laune verderben zu lassen. Die junge Terrier-Mix-Hündin ist ein fröhlicher Wirbelwind auf vier Pfoten. Neugierig, verspielt, menschenbezogen und immer bereit für das nächste Abenteuer. Sie liebt andere Hunde, findet neue Dinge grundsätzlich spannend und geht mit einer beneidenswerten Begeisterung durchs Leben. Rita sucht aktive Menschen, die Lust haben, gemeinsam mit ihr die Welt zu entdecken. Lange Spaziergänge, spannende Ausflüge, Hundeschule, Nasenarbeit oder andere artgerechte Beschäftigungen – Hauptsache, ihr kluger Terrier-Kopf bekommt etwas zu tun. Denn Rita möchte nicht nur körperlich, sondern auch geistig ausgelastet werden. Stubenrein ist sie noch nicht, schließlich hatte ihr bisher niemand die Chance gegeben, all die wichtigen Dinge des Familienlebens zu lernen. Dafür bringt sie jede Menge Lernfreude mit und kann auch von engagierten Hundeanfängern begleitet werden. Eine kleine Besonderheit gibt es allerdings: Tauben sollten besser einen Sicherheitsabstand einhalten. Rita hält sich nämlich für die inoffizielle Vogelpolizei und würde die Ermittlungen am liebsten persönlich aufnehmen. Wer eine junge Hündin sucht, die Lebensfreude, Charme und eine ordentliche Portion Terrier-Motivation mitbringt, könnte in Rita seine perfekte Begleiterin finden. .fusion-body .fusion-button Interesse an einer Adoption?

About Rita

What life with Rita looks like

Rita is a small young adult dog waiting at Nordic Strays e.V. 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.
