Nanuk Patentier &#8211

Mixed Breed · Male

I am Nanuk – a sensitive, character-strong dog with a big heart. At first, I meet unfamiliar people with some mistrust and I am good at looking after my home. But once I have gained trust, I show my loving side: I am cuddly, loyal, and bond very closely with my primary caregiver. I have good obedience, I learn quickly, and work well with my people. To feel safe, I need clear boundaries, calmness, and people who can give me consistent and sovereign guidance. I do not want to have to make my own decisions but rely on my people. Outside, I am always on a leash due to my pronounced hunting instinct. Other dogs sometimes find me sympathetic – sometimes not, that depends on the chemistry. A home with children or other animals therefore does not fit me. Health-wise, I come with a few challenges: I have problems with my shoulder muscles and spondylosis. With adapted movement, understanding, and good care, I manage well in everyday life. For me, an experienced foster home is urgently needed. All medical and therapeutic costs are covered completely by the animal shelter. It would be important, however, that my foster parent comes to therapy appointments at the animal shelter once or twice a week. My ideal home would be quiet and manageable – best with a single person or a couple without children and without other pets. An ideal home would be a house or apartment with a securely fenced garden, so that no strangers can enter the property unannounced. I am looking for people with dog experience, patience, and a calm nature. People who can give me security and where I can finally belong. When I have gained trust, I give my person my full loyalty, closeness, and affection. Some photos of Dano Odermatt, www.danoodermatt.ch Gender:

Ich bin Nanuk – ein sensibler, charakterstarker Hund mit einem großen Herzen. Fremden Menschen begegne ich anfangs eher misstrauisch und ich passe gut auf mein Zuhause auf. Wenn ich aber einmal Vertrauen gefasst habe, zeige ich meine liebevolle Seite: Ich bin verschmust, loyal und binde mich sehr eng an meine Bezugsperson. Ich habe einen guten Gehorsam, lerne gerne und arbeite mit meinen Menschen zusammen. Damit ich mich sicher fühlen kann, brauche ich klare Grenzen, Ruhe und Menschen, die mir mit Konsequenz und souveräner Führung Orientierung geben. Ich möchte nicht selbst entscheiden müssen, sondern mich auf meine Menschen verlassen können. Draußen bin ich aufgrund meines ausgeprägten Jagdtriebs immer an der Leine unterwegs. Andere Hunde finde ich manchmal sympathisch – manchmal aber auch nicht, das entscheidet bei mir die Chemie. Ein Zuhause mit Kindern oder anderen Tieren passt deshalb leider nicht zu mir. Auch gesundheitlich bringe ich ein paar Baustellen mit: Ich habe Probleme mit meiner Schultermuskulatur und Spondylose. Mit angepasster Bewegung, Verständnis und guter Betreuung komme ich im Alltag aber gut zurecht. Für mich wird dringend eine erfahrene Pflegestelle gesucht. Alle medizinischen und therapeutischen Kosten übernimmt das Tierheim vollständig. Wichtig wäre nur, dass meine Pflegeperson ein- bis zweimal pro Woche mit mir zu Therapieterminen ins Tierheim kommt. Mein Wunschzuhause wäre ruhig und überschaubar – am besten bei einer Einzelperson oder einem Paar ohne Kinder und ohne andere Haustiere. Ideal wäre ein Haus oder eine Wohnung mit sicher eingezäuntem Garten, damit keine fremden Menschen unangekündigt das Grundstück betreten. Ich suche Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung, Geduld und einem ruhigen Wesen. Menschen, die mir Sicherheit geben und bei denen ich endlich ankommen darf. Wenn ich Vertrauen gefasst habe, schenke ich meinem Menschen meine ganze Loyalität, Nähe und Zuneigung. Einige Fotos von Dano Odermatt, www.danoodermatt.ch Geschlecht: männlich / kastriert

About Nanuk Patentier &#8211

What life with Nanuk Patentier &#8211 looks like

Nanuk Patentier &#8211 is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim am Böhler in Unterkulm.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Patentier &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nanuk Patentier &#8211?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim am Böhler handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nanuk Patentier &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nanuk Patentier &#8211 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim am Böhler 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 Patentier &#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 Patentier &#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 Tierheim am Böhler early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nanuk Patentier &#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.
