Ritta

Bernese Mountain Dog · Female · Young · 2 years

We are so happy to be able to help the sweetest Ritta find its perfect match. A previous owner unfortunately had to recognize that three Berner Sennen girls at home were too big a mouthful. Especially when the eldest of the Berner girls never seemed to take it so seriously... Do you want a dose of the animal welfare organization directly in your inbox? Every month we send you a loving greeting with news, new animals up for adoption, tips and tricks about companion animals - and beautiful greetings from the animals' new homes.

Vi er så glade for at kunne hjælpe sødeste Ritta med at finde sit perfekte match. En tidligere ejer måtte desværre erkende, at tre Berner Sennen piger i hjemmet var for stor en mundfuld. Især når den ældste af Berner-pigerne aldrig sådan for alvor accepte… Skal du have en dosis Dyreværnet direkte i din indbakke? Hver måned sender vi dig en kærlig hilsen med nyheder, nye dyr til adoption, tips og tricks om kæledyr - og skønne hilsener fra dyrenes nye hjem.

About Ritta

What life with Ritta looks like

Ritta is a large young adult bernese mountain dog dog waiting at Dyreværnet in Copenhagen.

An 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 Denmark

Danish shelters follow EU pet passport rules and require an adoption contract. Animals are chipped, vaccinated, and sterilized before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ritta, answered.

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