In dieser ersten Phase wird jeder unserer Schützlinge tierärztlich untersucht, inkl. Blutentnahme mit SDMA-Wert zur Früherkennung von Nierenproblemen. Falls nötig, erhält er weitere medizinische Versorgung oder wird einem Spezialisten vorgestellt. Eine sofortige

About Chinook

What life with Chinook looks like

Chinook is a adult bernese mountain dog dog waiting at Berner Sennenhunde in Not Schweiz in Bsin.

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 Chinook, answered.

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