Basti (II)

Mixed Breed · Male

Breed: mixed breed, approximately 40-45 cm compatibility with others: very good with fellow animals; with cats: not known if compatible, cannot be tested currently Current location: animal shelter Istanbul (Turkey) Surrender reason: found dog Basti (II) on YouTube Basti came in completely emaciated into the care of the animal welfare workers. He was so dehydrated that he could barely stand. Meanwhile, he has recovered well from the hardships and is ready for adoption. Basti lives in a mixed pack and gets along well with the other dogs. He knows very little of life outside the animal shelter, so we recommend attending a good dog training class. He is very friendly and open with people. He will certainly need some time to get used to everything, but in return, one gets a wonderful and loving dog. Can be rehomed as a second dog.

Rasse: Mischling, ca. 40-45 cm Verträglichkeit: sehr gut mit Artgenossen verträglich; mit Katzen: nicht bekannt ob verträglich, kann nicht getestet werden Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Istanbul (Türkei) Abgabegrund: Fundhund Basti (II) auf YouTube Basti kam völlig verwahrlost in die Obhut der Tierschützer. Er war so dehydriert dass er kaum noch stehen konnte. Mittlerweile hat er sich prima von den Strapazen erholt und ist bereit für eine Adoption. Basti lebt in einem gemischten Rudel und kommt gut mit den anderen Hunden klar. Er kennt außer dem Leben im Tierheim sehr wenig, daher empfehlen wir den Besuch einer guten Hundeschule. Zu Menschen ist er sehr lieb und aufgeschlossen. Er wird sicherlich anfangs ein wenig Zeit brauchen um sich an alles zu gewöhnen, dafür jedoch bekommt man einen ganzen tollen und lieben Hund. Kann gerne als Zweithund vermittelt werden.

About Basti (II)

What life with Basti (II) looks like

Basti (II) is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

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 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 Basti (II), answered.

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