How do I contact the shelter about Ayleen &#8211?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzbund Basel Regional handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ayleen &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Ayleen &#8211 if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzbund Basel Regional 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 Ayleen &#8211 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 Ayleen &#8211 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 Tierschutzbund Basel Regional early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ayleen &#8211 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.

Ayleen &#8211

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Ayleen must be surrendered due to family reasons. Her former owners have separated, and both new living situations do not allow for dogs. Ayleen has arthritis/spondylitis (lumbar vertebrae) and possibly a herniated disc between the shoulder blades and is currently receiving pain medication (Onsior) when she is in pain or cannot walk. Ayleen needs either a temporary foster home or a permanent place by July 1, 2022. Due to her condition and delicate nature, the animal shelter would not be suitable for her, and the veterinarians are considering euthanasia as the better option to prevent her from suffering. However, we have been given some time to avoid this and find her a place. Ayleen is cuddly, loving, and friendly. She is people-oriented and open. She does not get along with fellow animals in the household or with cats. She needs people who can address her special needs, take care of her, and are willing to take in a dog with conditions. An ideal home would be a quiet one without young children. Ayleen is vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for rehoming. If you are interested in our dogs and would like to meet her informally, please apply using the button below, and we will contact you as soon as possible. We appreciate your understanding if the processing of your request takes a little longer. We will do our best to provide a response as soon as possible. It may happen that we receive many inquiries or that our resources are temporarily needed elsewhere.

DE·Show original

Ayleen muss aus familiären Gründen abgegeben werden. Ihre ehemaligen Halter haben sich getrennt und beide neuen Wohnsituationen erlauben keine Hunde. Ayleen hat Arthrose/Spondilose (Lendenwirbel) und evtl. einen Bandscheibenvorfall hinter den Schulterblättern und bekommt aktuell Schmerztabletten (Onsior), wenn sie schlecht oder nicht laufen kann. Ayleen braucht dringend bis zum 01.07.2022 entweder einen temporären Pflege- oder einen definitiven Lebensplatz. Im Tierheim würde es ihr aufgrund ihrer Beschwerden und ihres zarten Charakters nicht gut gehen, deshalb sprechen die Tierärzte bereits von Euthanasie als für Ayleen die bessere Option, um sie nicht noch mehr Leiden auszusetzen. Uns wurde aber noch ein Zeitpuffer gegeben, um dies abzuwenden und für sie doch noch einen Platz zu finden. Ayleen ist verschmust, liebevoll und freundlich. Sie ist menschenbezogen und aufgeschlossen. Mit Artgenossen im Haushalt, sowie mit Katzen, versteht sie sich nicht. Sie braucht Menschen, die auf ihre besonderen Bedürfnisse eingehen, sich um sie kümmern und bereit sind einen tollen Hund mit Beschwerden aufzunehmen. Ideal wäre ein eher ruhiger Haushalt ohne Kleinkinder. Ayleen wird geimpft, gechippt, mit Schutzvertrag und gegen eine Schutzgebühr von CHF 600.– vermittelt. Falls Sie Interesse an unseren Hunden haben und sie unverbindlich kennenlernen möchten, bewerben Sie sich mit untenstehenden Button und wir werden uns baldmöglichst mit Ihnen in Verbindung setzen. Wir danken für Ihr Verständnis, falls die Bearbeitung Ihrer Anfrage etwas länger dauert. Wir setzen alles daran, so bald wie möglich eine Rückmeldung zu geben. Es kann aber vorkommen, dass sehr viele Anfragen zusammenkommen oder dass unsere Ressourcen temporär dringend anderweitig gebraucht werden.

About Ayleen &#8211

What life with Ayleen &#8211 looks like

Ayleen &#8211 is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzbund Basel Regional.

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.
