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

Can I adopt Elias &#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 Elias &#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 Elias &#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 Elias &#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.

Elias &#8211

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Elias originally came from a German organization in Spain. Currently, he lives in Turgau, but he resides in a working household where another child is also expected in the near future. Therefore, it is no longer possible to meet the needs of an active and young dog like Elias. Elias is a friendly, open, and playful young fellow who also gets along well with children and fellow animals. He needs a dog-experienced family who can actively integrate him into their daily life and respond to his needs. Elias is vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for rehoming. 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. We strive to provide a response as soon as possible, but it may happen that we receive many inquiries at once or that our resources are temporarily needed elsewhere.

Elias stammt ursprünglich aus einer deutschen Organisation in Spanien. Derzeit lebt er in Turgau, allerdings lebt er in einem berufstätigen Haushalt wo in naher Zukunft auch noch ein zweites Kind erwartet wird. Deshalb kann auf die Bedürfnisse eines jungen und aktiven Hundes wie Elias nicht mehr entsprechend eingegangen werden. Elias ist ein freundlicher, aufgeschlossener und verspielter junger Kerl, der sich auch gut Mit Kindern und Artgenossen versteht. Er braucht unbedingt eine hundeerfahrne Familie, die ihn aktiv in den Alltag einbinden und auf seine Bedürfnisse eingehen können. Elias wird geimpft, gechippt, mit Schutzvertrag und gegen eine Schutzgebühr von CHF 600.– 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.

About Elias &#8211

What life with Elias &#8211 looks like

Elias &#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.
