Nanuk &#8211

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Because his former humans were not aware that a young dog requires a certain amount of effort, they had to admit they could not meet his needs. Feeling overwhelmed, they reluctantly decided to surrender him so that he can find a good new home where he will receive the attention he deserves. Nanuk has not been in our care for long, but he seems to be a friendly, people-oriented, and interested companion. He gets along well with fellow animals. He needs people who can show him patience, love, and understanding and adopt him as a full-fledged family member. Dog training classes would be ideal. Nanuk will be dewormed, 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 contact you, or the Gnadenhof will do so as soon as possible. We appreciate your understanding if the processing of your request takes a little longer. We will do our best to provide a response as soon as possible. However, it may happen that we receive many inquiries at once or that our resources are temporarily urgently needed elsewhere.

Weil sich seine ehemaligen Menschen nicht bewusst waren, dass ein junger Hund einen gewissen Aufwand bedeutet, mussten sie sich eingestehen, dass sie seinen Bedürfnissen nicht gerecht werden konnten. Sie fühlten sich überfordert und haben sich schweren Herzen dazu entschieden, ihn abzugeben, sodass er ein guten neues Zuhause finden kann, wo er die ganze Aufmerksamkeit bekommt, die er verdient. Nanuk ist noch nicht so lange in unserer Obhut, aber er scheint ein freundlicher, menschenbezogener und interessierter Weggefährte. Er versteht sich mit Artgenossen. Er braucht Menschen, die ihm Geduld, Liebe und Verständnis entgegenbringen und ihn als vollwertiges Familienmitglied adoptieren. Eine Hundeschule wäre ideal. Nanuk wird entwurmt, 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, respektive der Gnadenhof wird sich 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 Nanuk &#8211

What life with Nanuk &#8211 looks like

Nanuk &#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 Nanuk &#8211, answered.

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