Leika &#8211

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Leika did not have a simple start in life. She was already passed around multiple times in her young life, with no one showing serious interest in her, and she barely experienced any love and care. Therefore, at the first contact and with strangers, she can understandably be a bit reserved at the beginning. The same applies to unfamiliar fellow animals, which she challenges out of her own insecurity and meets with resistance. Often, a lack of sympathy also plays a role. Although she has difficulties warming up to other dogs, she is, for this reason, more people-oriented. She is otherwise open, cuddly, and also playful. She learns quickly and is always active and engaged. Leika needs, and only needs, dog-experienced people who not only bring her patience and a lot of affection but also understand and can handle dogs that have certain difficulties with fellow animals. She walks well on a leash, enjoys jogging, and can also stay alone at home for a few hours. Therefore, she needs a home with an active family that can provide her with mental stimulation and variety. A house with a garden in a rural area would be ideal for her play drive. She gets along well with cats. Attending dog training classes and perfecting the ABCs of dogs would be ideal. Leika can only be rehomed as a single dog. Leika is 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 as soon as possible. We appreciate your understanding if the processing of your inquiry takes a little longer. We strive to provide 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.

Leika hatte keinen einfachen Start ins Leben. Sie wurde in ihrem jungen Leben bereits mehrfach weitergereicht, keiner hatte ernsthaftes Interesse an ihr und sie durfte praktisch keine Liebe und Fürsorge erfahren. Sie kann deshalb beim Erstkontakt und bei fremden Menschen verständlicherweise am Anfang noch etwas zurückhaltend sein. Das gleiche gilt bei fremden Artgenossen, die sie aus eigener Unsicherheit herausfordert und mit Widerstand begegnet. Oft spielt auch mangelnde Sympathie eine Rolle. Sie hat zwar Schwierigkeiten mit anderen Hunden warm zu werden, ist sie aber dafür umso menschenbezogener. Sie ist ansonsten aufgeschlossen, verschmust und auch verspielt. Sie lernt schnell und ist gerne aktiv und beschäftigt. Leika braucht unbedingt und ausschliesslich hundeerfahrene Menschen, die ihr nicht nur Geduld und viel Zuwendung entgegenbringen, sondern sich auch Hunden, die mit Artgenossen gewisse Schwierigkeiten aufweisen, auskennen und damit umgehen können. Sie läuft gut an der Leine, joggt gerne mit und kann auch zwischendurch für ein paar Stunden alleine Zuhause bleiben. Daher braucht sie ein Zuhause bei einer aktiven Familie die ihr Beschäftigung und Abwechslung bietet. Ein Haus mit Garten in ländlicher Umgebung wären für ihren Spieltrieb ideal. Mit Katzen versteht sie sich gut. Der Besuch einer Hundeschule und das Perfektionieren des Hunde ABC wären ideal. Leika wird nur als Einzelhund vermittelt. Leika 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. Es kann aber vorkommen, dass sehr viele Anfragen zusammenkommen oder dass unsere Ressourcen temporär dringend anderweitig gebraucht werden.

About Leika &#8211

What life with Leika &#8211 looks like

Leika &#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 Leika &#8211, answered.

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