Lily &#8211

Mixed Breed · Female

Lily is a friendly and loving female dog. She was rehomed in an instant from an animal shelter to a family with young children. However, they had no experience with dogs and were immediately overwhelmed with Lily. We had to take her in on an emergency basis and she was placed in a private foster home. All this back and forth had taken a toll on Lily. She was stressed and didn’t understand the world anymore. Now, she has recovered very well and is ready for a new home with the right people. Lily is a very lovable and interested dog lady, approximately 45cm tall and weighs around 13kg. She gets along well with fellow animals. An independent second dog in the household would be ideal, as she loves to play with other dogs and run races. Lily needs patient and caring people who will earn her trust, have time for her, and provide mental stimulation and variety. With men, she can sometimes be a bit reserved and shy at first. Due to her stressful experience with young children, a family with slightly older children might be beneficial. Lily walks well on a leash, responds well to her name, is house-trained, and can stay alone at home for a few hours. She has no experience with cats in the household. When she comes too close, they may sometimes bark at her. Lily 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 do our best to respond as soon as possible.

Lily ist eine freundliche und liebe Hündin. Sie wurde damals Hals über Kopf von einem Tierheim an eine Familie mit Kleinkindern vermittelt. Diese hatte jedoch keinerlei Erfahrung mit Hunden und sie waren mit Lily von Anfang an überfordert. Wir haben Lily daraufhin notfallmässig übernommen und sie durfte bei uns auf eine private Pflegestelle. Dieses ganze hin und her hatte Lily sehr zugetan. Sie war gestresst und verstand die Welt nicht mehr. Mittlerweile hat sie sich sehr gut erholt und ist bereit für ein neues Zuhause bei den richtigen Menschen. Lily ist eine sehr liebenswerte und interessierte Hundedame, ist circa 45cm gross und wiegt in etwa 13kg. Sie versteht sich gut mit Artgenossen. Ein souveräner Zweithund im Haushalt wäre für die ideal, denn sie liebt es mit anderen Hunden zu spielen und um die Wette zu rennen. Lily braucht geduldige und fürsorgliche Menschen, die ihr Vertrauen entgegenbringen, Zeit für sie haben und ihr Beschäftigung und Abwechslung bieten. Bei Männern ist sie manchmal anfangs noch etwas zurückhaltend und schüchtern. Aufgrund ihrer stressbesetzten Erfahrung mit Kleinkindern, wäre vielleicht eine Familie mit etwas älteren Kindern von Vorteil. Lily läuft gut an der Leine, sie hört gut auf ihren Namen, ist stubenrein und kann zwischendurch auch ein paar Stunden alleine Zuhause bleiben. Katzen im Haushalt kennt sie nicht. Draussen werden sie zum Teil angebellt, wenn sie zu nahe kommen. Lily wird geimpft, gechippt, mit Schutzvertrag und gegen eine Schutzgebühr von CHF 550.– 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 Lily &#8211

What life with Lily &#8211 looks like

Lily &#8211 is a small 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 Lily &#8211, answered.

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