BB

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

BB was one day in a woman's garden. BB was very shy and joined an old dog. The old dog was allowed to eat and rest in the woman's garden. BB was also allowed to go into the garden, but was too agile and would sometimes run onto the busy street. So Andrei was asked if he could take in BB to prevent an accident. At first, BB was extremely human-shy. But a year later, she is very happy with people she knows. She hunts passionately and we appreciate that a hunting dog breed is in her (Dachshund, etc.). Also, BB is Bigboy's best friend, and she loves being under the house, but Jack likes to chase her back, which BB finds very annoying. Often, she finds a hiding spot and goes for a few hours on the Angels Paw Pack property. But she always comes back to the spot. Possible weaknesses: strong prey drive, she is used to a lot of freedom and could potentially escape. She is initially suspicious of strangers but, once trust is built, she is very happy with people and loves cuddles. Desired home: similarly freedom-loving and patient people who enjoy and spend a lot of time in nature, a quiet, more rural home preferred.

DE·Show original

BB war eines Tages bei einer Frau im Garten. BB war sehr scheu und hat sich einem alten Hund angeschlossen. Der alte Hund durfte bei dieser Frau im Garten fressen und sich ausruhen. BB durfte auch zur Frau in den Garten, war aber zu agil und lief immer wieder mal auf die befahrene Strasse. So wurde Andrei gefragt, ob er BB aufnehmen könnte, damit sie keinen Unfall haben wird. Am Anfang war BB extrem menschenscheu. Doch ein Jahr später ist sie sehr gerne bei Menschen, die sie kennt. Sie jagt leidenschaftlich gerne und wir schätzen, dass eine Jagdhunderasse in ihr drin steckt (Dackel etc.) Auch BB ist Bigboys beste Freundin und sie liebt es, unter dem Haus zu sein, aber Jack jagt sie gerne wieder zurück, was BB sehr nervt. Oft findet sie ein Schlupfloch und geht für ein paar Stunden aus dem Gelände vom Angels paw pack. Sie kommt aber immer wieder auf den Platz zurück. Mögliche Schwächen: starker Jagdtrieb, sie ist viel Freiheit gewohnt und könnte auch mal abhauen. Sie ist am Anfang bei fremden Menschen sicher misstrauisch, wenn sie aber Vertrauen aufgebaut hat, ist sie sehr gerne bei Menschen und liebt Streicheleinheiten. Wunschzuhause: ebenso freiheitsliebende und geduldige Menschen, die gerne und lange in der Natur sind, ruhiges, eher ländliches Zuhause bevorzugt.

About BB

What life with BB looks like

BB is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rano & Huutch in Rano Huutch.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting BB, answered.

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