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

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stiftung Paradiesli, Tierheim für Ob und Nidwalden handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bajka &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

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

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stiftung Paradiesli, Tierheim für Ob und Nidwalden 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 Bajka &#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 Bajka &#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 Stiftung Paradiesli, Tierheim für Ob und Nidwalden early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bajka &#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.

Bajka &#8211

Female · Adult · 8 years

Which dog owners; we are looking for a home for Bajka: In the new home, there must be no children and other pets. One must have understanding and acceptance for the typical herding dog character. The new owners should live on a large, secure, fenced-in property where Bajka can move freely. This should be remote. The new owners should live in a house. They should be willing to work with a muzzle (securely at the beginning). The new dog owners should have experience with challenging dogs and know their needs. History of the dog (why at the animal shelter): Bajka found a nice home. When she arrived there, she defended everything that was important to her. She then had to return to us at the animal shelter. Breed: Caucasian Owtcharka x Sarplaninac Born on: 27.4.2018 Country of Origin: Switzerland Since at the animal shelter: July 2022 Character and Behavior Bajka is a typical herding dog and does her "job" very well. Of course, her first instinct with strangers is to keep them at a distance. With enough patience and time, one can really become good friends with the older lady. When Bajka has accepted someone, she is a real cuddly teddy. Her "resources" (bowl, box, owner, etc.) are sacred to her! One must also not provoke her there. She is very happy to be outside in a large run and observing what is happening. She will alert if something is happening in the surroundings or if someone is nearby. On walks, we experience Bajka as calm and balanced, but they should not be too long, as the lady, for her size, has already reached a high age. Bajka does not like the fur care, which must always be done in short stages and with her consent. Herding dogs do not know sheep! Also, no other pets should live in the same household. Has Bajka caught your interest? You can certainly contact us to arrange a meet and greet. For Bajka, a sponsorship can be taken on, as we assume that a suitable home will not be found quickly.

Welche Hundehalter; innen suchen wir für Bajka: Im neuen Zuhause dürfen keine Kinder und andere Haustiere vorhanden sein Man benötigt Verständnis und Akzeptanz für den typischen Herdeschutzhund-Charakter Die neuen Besitzer sollten in einem grossen, sicheren eingezäunten Grundstück wohnen, in diesem sich Bajka frei bewegen darf. Dieses sollte abgelegen sein Die neuen Besitzer sollten in einem Haus wohnen Bereitschaft mit Maulkorb zu arbeiten (sicherlich am Anfang) Die neuen Hundehalter sollten Erfahrung mit herausfordernden Hunden haben sowie ihre Bedürfnisse kennen Geschichte vom Hund (warum im Tierheim) Bajka fand ein schönes Zuhause. Als sie dort richtig angekommen war, verteidigte sie alles was ihr wichtig war. Worauf sie wieder zu uns ins Tierheim kam. Rasse: Kaukasischer Owtcharka x Sarplaninac Geboren am: 27.4.2018 Herkunftsland: Schweiz Im Tierheim seit: Juli 2022 Charakter und Verhalten Bajka ist ein typischer Herdenschutzhund und macht ihren «Job» sehr gut. Natürlich ist ihr erster Instinkt bei Fremden Menschen diese auf Abstand zu halten. Mit genügend Geduld und Zeit kann man sich super mit der älteren Dame anfreunden. Wenn Bajka jemanden akzeptiert hat, ist sie ein richtiger Schmuseteddy. Ihre «Ressourcen» (Napf, Box, Besitzer etc.) sind ihr heilig! Dort muss man auch nichts provozieren. Sie ist sehr gerne draussen in einem grossen Auslauf und beobachtet das Geschehen. Bei Bedarf meldet sie was in der Umgebung vor sich geht oder wenn jemand in der Nähe ist. Auf Spaziergängen erleben wir Bajka ruhig und ausgeglichen, diese dürfen jedoch nicht zu lange sein, da die Dame für Ihre Grösse doch schon ein hohes Alter erreicht hat. Die Fellpflege findet Bajka nicht toll, diese muss immer in kurzen Etappen und mit ihrem Einverständnis erfolgen. Der Herdenschutzhund kennt keine Schafe! Auch sollten keine anderen Haustiere im selben Haushalt leben. Hat Bajka Ihr Interesse geweckt? Gerne dürfen Sie sich für ein Kennenlernen bei uns melden. Für Bajka kann man eine Patenschaft übernehmen, denn wir gehen davon aus, dass so schnell kein passendes Zuhause gefunden werden kann.

About Bajka &#8211

What life with Bajka &#8211 looks like

Bajka &#8211 is a large adult dog waiting at Stiftung Paradiesli, Tierheim für Ob und Nidwalden.

An 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 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.
