Black

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Black ist ein im Jahr 2018 geborener, aktiver Rüde mit einem sensiblen Wesen. Er ist anfangs draussen eher ängstlich und unsicher, taut jedoch mit Geduld und Ruhe auf. Hat er erst Vertrauen gefasst, zeigt er sich anhänglich, verschmust und sehr zutraulich. Insgesamt ist er eher zurückhaltend, sucht aber die Nähe seiner Bezugsperson und geniesst Streicheleinheiten sehr. Black beherrscht die Grundkommandos und arbeitet gerne mit, weshalb der Besuch einer Hundeschule empfohlen wird, um ihm weitere Sicherheit zu geben und ihn optimal zu fördern. Beim Tierarzt zeigt er sich problematisch, da ihm ungewohnte Situationen Angst bereiten - hier sind Einfühlungsvermögen und Erfahrung gefragt. Mit anderen Hunden ist er je nach Sympathie verträglich. Eine ländliche Gegend oder ein ruhigeres Umfeld wären für ihn ideal, da ihn städtischer Trubel schnell verunsichert. Für Black wünschen wir uns geduldige, hundeerfahrene Menschen, die Ihm Zeit geben anzukommen und ihm mit liebevoller Konsequenz Sicherheit vermitteln.

About Black

What life with Black looks like

Black is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim beider Basel in Basel.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Black, answered.

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