adoption requirements adoption process Now request this animal! adoption requirements adoption process Now request this dog! For Basti, we take over external mediation assistance. The special male dog is urgently seeking a home or a foster home where he can spend his golden years. This is his mediation text from the animal shelter Neumünster: Basti's characteristics: skeptical with strangers, vigilant. Dog experience is a prerequisite, clear rules and leadership are required, otherwise he decides for himself. good with female dogs, with male dogs it depends on the sympathy. no children, no cats or small pets with trusted people, a great dog, very cuddly and loving. Our Basti... well, where do we start... Basti came to us at the animal shelter in June 2019. He was a 4-year-old, imposing male dog... yes, he had a few quirks, but we all have them, right? He was skeptical and unsure around us. However, his positive sides soon became apparent. Now in 2023, our little headstrong one is still with us and has aged a bit. Over time, he had several interested parties, but it was never his people. Basti reacts to every slightest insecurity and immediately. That's why a muzzle and a good reaction ability of his new owner should be part of everyday life, especially in unclear situations. Basti chooses his people himself, we only list the prerequisites that should be given. Dog experience is a must. Ideally, a house with a securely fenced yard. So the vigilant male dog can fulfill his favorite task... keeping an eye on everything. To make sure no one feels disturbed, it should be in a more rural location. However, Basti is not just a farm dog. The proximity to his person is very important to him. He loves to lie in the grass next to his primary caregiver and soak up the sun on his fur. He is very much enjoyed being petted and cuddled. He will also be a lap dog sometimes. Of course, Basti also has a health issue. He was diagnosed with HD, which is currently treated with medication. He is doing well at the moment. So... We wish for Basti an individual or a couple who are dog-experienced, who have already familiarized themselves with the breeds. They should not have a problem using a muzzle and establishing clear rules. Additionally, they should have clear body language or be willing to learn it. If interested in Basti, please contact the animal shelter Neumünster directly or send us a self-disclosure form, which we will then forward. Gets along with other dogs.

Für Basti übernehmen wir externe Vermittlungshilfe. Der besondere Rüde sucht dringend ein Zuhause oder eine Pflegestelle, bei der er seinen Lebensabend verbringen darf. Das ist sein Vermittlungstext aus dem Tierheim Neumünster: Bastis Eigenschaften: skeptisch bei Fremden wachsam Hundeerfahrung ist Voraussetzung benötigt klare Regeln und Führung, er entscheidet sonst selbst gut verträglich mit Hündinnen, bei Rüden entscheidet die Sympathie keine Kinder keine Katzen oder Kleintiere bei Bezugspersonen ein toller Hund, sehr verkuschelt und lieb Unser Basti….tja wo sollen wir da anfangen….. Basti kam im Juni 2019 zu uns ins Tierheim. Er war ein 4-jähriger stattlicher, imposanter Rüde….ja er hatte ein paar kleine Macken, aber nun ja die haben wir ja alle ;). Er war uns gegenüber skeptisch und unsicher. Allerdings kamen ganz schnell auch seine positiven Seiten zum Vorschein. Nun 2023 ist unser kleiner Dickkopf leider immer noch bei uns und ist leicht in die Jahre gekommen. Er hatte im Laufe der Zeit einige Interessenten, aber es waren doch nie SEINE Menschen dabei. Basti reagiert auf jede kleinste Unsicherheit und das sofort. Deswegen sollten Maulkorb und ein gutes Reaktionsvermögen seines neuen Besitzers zum Alltag gehören, gerade in unübersichtlichen Situationen. Basti sucht sich seine Menschen selbst aus, wir nennen nur Voraussetzungen, die gegeben sein sollten. Hundeerfahrung ist das A&O. Am besten wäre ein Haus mit Grundstück, welches ausbruchssicher eingezäunt ist. So kann der wachsame Rüde seiner Lieblingsaufgabe nachgehen…..auf alles aufpassen. Da sich niemand gestört fühlen soll, am besten etwas ländlicher gelegen. Allerdings möchte Basti nicht nur der Hofhund sein. Die Nähe zu seinem Menschen ist ihm sehr wichtig. Er liebt es neben seiner Bezugsperson/-personen im Gras zu liegen und sich die Sonne auf den Pelz scheinen zu lassen. Er wird unheimlich gerne gekrault und geschmust. Da wird er auch gerne mal zum Schoßhund :). Natürlich hat Basti auch ein gesundheitliches Wehwechen. Bei ihm wurde eine HD festgestellt, die bei uns medikamentös behandelt wird. Da ist er zur Zeit auch gut eingestellt. Nun also…. Wir wünschen uns für Basti eine Einzelperson oder ein Paar, die hundeerfahren sind, sich am besten schon mit den Rassen auseinander gesetzt haben. Sie sollten keine Probleme damit haben, einen Maulkorb zu nutzen und ganz klare Regeln aufzustellen. Außerdem sollten sie eine klare Körpersprache haben oder erlernen. Bei Interesse an Basti meldet euch bitte direkt ans Tierheim Neumünster, oder schickt uns eine Selbstauskunft, diese werden wir dann weiterleiten.

About Basti

What life with Basti looks like

Basti is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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, answered.

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