How do I contact the shelter about Cosmo – Der Beschützer?

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 Cosmo – Der Beschützer on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Cosmo – Der Beschützer 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 Cosmo – Der Beschützer 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 Cosmo – Der Beschützer 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 Cosmo – Der Beschützer 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.

Cosmo – Der Beschützer

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Cosmo was a typical so-called Covid dog, who served as a form of entertainment for a certain period, but was then given up due to time constraints and overburdening. He was passed around and did not have an easy time. He eventually landed in the animal shelter, where the situation was unfortunately very distressing for him. After a very long wait, he was finally allowed to move into a new home. Unfortunately, he was given up again after almost a quarter of a year. Although he got along well with people, he had problems with the second dog. The two could not get along and the tense situation was only frustrating for Cosmo, the only dog, and the family with children. After further waiting, he finally found a person who was a perfect match. They got to know each other, went for walks together several times, and built a great relationship. The adoption was actually almost finalized, but the person received an unexpected serious health diagnosis, which means that Cosmo cannot move to a new home. Cosmo needs people with a lot of dog experience, ideally a single person without young children and other pets. He needs a handler who can consistently lead him and support his journey forward. Cosmo is people-oriented, alert, and brings a good dose of energy, but he is NOT an easy-to-train dog. He needs people who can show him patience and understanding and walk through life with him as a four-legged companion. Cosmo is vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for rehoming.

Cosmo war ein typischer sogenannter Covid Hund, welcher für eine gewisse Zeit als Zeitvertreib diente, dann aber aus Zeitgründen und Überforderung abgegeben wurde. Er wurde herumgereicht und hatte es nicht einfach. Er landete schliesslich im Tierheim, wo ihm die Situation leider sehr zu schaffen machte. Nach sehr langem Warten, durfte er endlich in ein neues Zuhause ziehen. Leider wurde er nach fast einem Viertel Jahr wieder abgegeben. Obwohl er sich mit den Menschen ganz toll verstand, hatte er mit dem Zweithund Probleme. Die Beiden schafften es nicht miteinander auszukommen und die angespannte Situation war für Cosmo, den Ersthund und auch die Familie mit den Kindern nur noch frustrierend. Nach weiterem langem Warten fand er schliesslich einen Menschen, bei dem es auf anhieb passte. Die Beiden haben sich kennengelernt, sind einige Male zusammen spazieren gegangen und haben eine tolle Beziehung aufgebaut. Eigentlich war die Adoption bereits so gut wie durch, da erhielt die Person unerwartet eine schwere gesundheitliche Diagnose, die zur Folge hat, dass nun leider doch nicht in ein neues Zuhause umziehen kann. Cosmo braucht Menschen mit sehr viel Hundeerfahrung, idealerweise eine Einzelperson ohne Kleinkinder und andere Tiere. Einen Halter, der Ihn Konsequent führt und Ihm bei seinem weiteren Weg unterstützend fördern kann. Cosmo ist menschenbezogen, aufgeweckt und bringt eine gute Portion Energie mit sich, aber er ist KEIN EINSTEIGERHUND . Er braucht Menschen, die ihm Geduld und Verständnis entgegenbringen und mit ihm als vierbeinigen Wegbegleiter durchs Leben zu gehen. Cosmo wird geimpft, gechippt, mit Schutzvertrag und gegen eine Schutzgebühr von CHF 650.– vermittelt.

About Cosmo – Der Beschützer

What life with Cosmo – Der Beschützer looks like

Cosmo – Der Beschützer is a small 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.
