How do I contact the shelter about Benny &#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 Benny &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Benny &#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 Benny &#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 Benny &#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 Benny &#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.

Benny &#8211

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Benny must be surrendered due to personal reasons, but he may still stay in his current home for the time being until he can be rehomed. Benny is friendly and people-oriented, but he does not trust everyone immediately. It may take some time for him to build trust with unfamiliar people, but then he will blossom. Benny grew up without many rules, was rather spoiled, and was allowed a lot of freedom in his upbringing. Therefore, he needs people who can show him patience and understanding if he should sometimes become loud or need time to adjust to the new situation. He gets along well with fellow animals. Benny will be vaccinated, microchipped, and rehomed. If you are interested in our dogs and would like to meet them informally, please apply using the button below, and we will get in touch with you as soon as possible. We appreciate your understanding if the processing of your request takes a little longer.

DE·Show original

Benny muss aus persönlichen Gründen schweren Herzens abgegeben werden, darf aber vorerst noch in seinem jetzigen Zuhause bleiben, bis er vermittelt werden kann. Benny ist freundlich und menschenbezogen, vertraut aber nicht allem und jedem sofort. Bei unbekannten Menschen kann es ein Weilchen dauern, bis er Vertrauen fasst, dann blüht er aber auf. Benny wuchs ohne viele Regeln auf, wurde ziemlich verwöhnt und durfte in seiner Erziehung ganz viel. Er braucht daher Menschen, die ihm Geduld und Verständnis entgegenbringen, wenn er zwischendurch laut werden sollte oder Zeit braucht um sich an die neue Situation zu gewöhnen. Er versteht sich mit Artgenossen. Benny wird geimpft, gechippt, mit Schutzvertrag und gegen eine Schutzgebühr von CHF 650.– 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 Benny &#8211

What life with Benny &#8211 looks like

Benny &#8211 is a medium-sized 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.
