Ilvy &#8211

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Ilvy came with his three siblings. They spent most of their lives so far on a terrace, together with their parents. The four were born here in Switzerland, their parents are from abroad. Finally, the four puppies were taken away and are now in a dog pension with us until new homes are found (the parent dogs are in a different pension). Ilvy gets along with fellow animals but is not suitable for handling cats. He needs dog-experienced (Nordic breeds) and active people who can adopt him as a family member, support him, but not overwhelm him. He is also suitable for families with responsible older children. He is good for both single and second-dog placements. Ilvy is vaccinated, microchipped, and will be rehomed in cooperation with the Tierschutzbund Basel Regional (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 it takes a little longer to process your inquiry. We strive to give a response as soon as possible. However, it may happen that many inquiries come in at once or that our resources are temporarily urgently needed elsewhere.). Best placed with a resident dog (second-dog home).

Ilvy kam mit seinen drei Geschwistern. Sie verbrachten ihr bisheriges Leben fast ausschliesslich auf einer Terrasse, zusammen mit ihren Eltern. Die Vier sind hier in der Schweiz geboren, ihre Eltern stammen aus dem Ausland. Endlich konnten die vier Junghunde dort weggeholt werden und befinden sich nun bei uns in einer Hundepension, bis neue Zuhause gefunden werden (die Elterntiere befinden sich in einer anderen Pension). Ilvy versteht sich mit Artgenossen, ist aber nicht geeignet im Umgang mit Katzen. Er braucht hundeerfahrene (nordische Rassen) und aktive Menschen, die sie als Familienmitglied adoptieren, sie fördern, aber nicht überfordern. Gerne auch zu Familien mit verantwortungsvollen etwas älteren Kindern. Er ist als Einzel- wie auch als Zweithund gut vorstellbar. Ilvy wird geimpft, gechippt, mit Schutzvertrag, gegen eine Schutzgebühr von CHF 600.– und in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Tierschutzbund Basel Regional vermittelt (nach vorheriger Platzvorkontrolle). 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. Es kann aber vorkommen, dass sehr viele Anfragen zusammenkommen oder dass unsere Ressourcen temporär dringend anderweitig gebraucht werden.

About Ilvy &#8211

What life with Ilvy &#8211 looks like

Ilvy &#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 Ilvy &#8211, answered.

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