Dexter &#8211

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Dexter came from a kill shelter where he was given up after his former owners traded him for a younger puppy. Dexter is a friendly, open, and people-oriented dog. He gets along well with fellow animals, but he doesn’t particularly like cats, hens, and ducks. Although Dexter is not the youngest and might not be the most beautiful, he scores with his loving and good character. He is a faithful companion and has a lot of love to give. An ideal home would be a more quiet household, preferably with an older couple or a single person where he can be loved back and enjoy a beautiful old age. Dexter has been tested negative for leishmaniasis and is vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for rehoming. Information:

DE·Show original

Dexter stammt aus einer Tötungsstation, wo er abgegeben wurde, nachdem ihn seine ehemaligen Halter für einen jüngere Hund ausgetauscht hatten. Dexter ist ein freundlicher, aufgeschlossener und menschenbezogener Hund. Er versteht sich gut mit Artgenossen, Katzen, Hühner und Enten mag er allerdings nicht. Dexter ist zwar nicht mehr der Jüngste und in einigen Augen vielleicht auch nicht der Schönste, aber er punktet mit seinem liebevollen und guten Charakter. Er ist ein treuer Weggefährte und hat viel Liebe zu verschenken. Ideal wäre ein eher ruhiger Haushalt, gerne auch zu einem älteren Paar oder Einzelperson, wo er zurückgeliebt wird und umsorgt einen schönen Lebensabend verbringen darf. Dexter ist negativ Leishmaniose getestet und wird geimpft, gechippt, mit Schutzvertrag und gegen eine Schutzgebühr von CHF 600.– vermittelt.

About Dexter &#8211

What life with Dexter &#8211 looks like

Dexter &#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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Dexter &#8211, answered.

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