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

Can I adopt Kira &#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 Kira &#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 Kira &#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 Kira &#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.

Kira &#8211

Mixed Breed · Female

The former owner of Kira was overwhelmed with her and her upbringing, which is why the loving and beautiful female German Shepherd now finds herself in our care. Kira is open and friendly towards people and fellow animals. Since no training was provided for her, leash walking or general dog ABC were completely new to her until recently. Since she has been with us, she has learned a lot. We are looking for loving people who are willing to work with her with patience, affection, and consistency on her 'basic obedience.' Because German Shepherds are demanding and not 'beginner dogs,' it would be ideal if her new people already had experience with her breed and she was not the only dog. Important: She will not be rehomed into the protection service or related areas (this will be contractually agreed upon). Kira will be vaccinated, microchipped, and rehomed. 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 soon.

Der ehemalige Halter von Kira war mit ihr und ihrer Erziehung überfordert, weshalb sich die liebe und schöne Deutsche Schäferhündin nun in unserer Obhut befindet. Kira ist Menschen und Artgenossen gegenüber aufgeschlossen und freundlich gesinnt. Da bei ihr jegliche Erziehung versäumt wurde, war bis kurzem beispielsweise das Leinenlaufen oder das allgemeine Hunde ABC völliges Neuland für sie. Seit sie bei uns ist hat sie aber schon viel dazugelernt. Wir suchen für Kira liebe Menschen, die bereit sind mit Geduld, Zuwendung und Konsequenz weiter an ihrem ‚Grundgehorsam‘ zu arbeiten. Weil Deutsche Schäfer anspruchsvoll und keine ‚Anfängerhunde‘ sind wäre es ideal, wenn ihre neuen Menschen bereits Erfahrung mit ihrer Rasse mitbringen würden und sie nicht der Ersthund wäre. Wichtig: Sie wird nicht in den Schutzdienst oder in verwandte Bereiche vermittelt (wird vertraglich so festgelegt). Kira wird geimpft, gechippt, mit Schutzvertrag und gegen eine Schutzgebühr von CHF 500.– 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 setzten.

About Kira &#8211

What life with Kira &#8211 looks like

Kira &#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.
