Nurii

Border Collie · Female · Young · 2 years

Breed: Border Collie x Australian Shepherd Color: Black-and-White Age: December 25, 2024 Gender: Female Spayed: Yes Reason for relinquishment: Health issues of the owner Characteristics: We are looking for a home for Nurii with an experienced dog owner who can provide a securely fenced yard nearby, with no small children and no cats. Nurii came to us at the age of 8 months very stressed and exhibiting autistic traits. Indoors, she quickly became very affectionate and attentive and loves to learn. However, she is still quite energetic for her age, though she can also happily spend a few hours alone. She prefers to lie on the terrace outside. Outside her secure environment, she is insecure, highly impulsive, and tends to attack anything that moves too close. Off-leash, she gets along well with other dogs and loves to play. She interacts nicely with dogs she knows, but encounters on leash still need much practice! If you're interested, Nurii would love to be visited and get to know you—but we’d like to visit the new home beforehand. Country of origin (where the dog currently resides): Switzerland Breeding country: Switzerland Contact address: Claudius Reichenbach, Email: , or 88 Share this post

Rasse: Border Collie x Australischer Schäferhund Farbe: Schwarz-Weiss Alter: 25. Dezember 2024 Geschlecht: weiblich Kastriert: ja Verzichtgrund: gesundheitliche Probleme des Halters Eigenschaften: Wir suchen für Nurii einen Platz bei erfahrenem Hundehalter/in mit geschütztem Auslauf in der Nähe, ohne Kleinkinder und ohne Katzen. Nurii kam im Alter von 8 Monaten sehr gestresst zu uns und hatte autistische Züge. Drinnen ist sie bald sehr anhänglich und aufmerksam geworden und lernt gerne. Sie ist ihrem Alter entsprechend jedoch noch sehr wild, doch kann sie auch gut wenige Stunden für sich sein. Sie liegt am liebsten auf der Terrasse draussen. Ausserhalb ihres geschützten Umfeldes ist sie unsicher, sehr impulsiv und will alles was sich zu nahe bewegt attackieren. Frei von der Leine ist sie verträglich und will gerne spielen. Mit Hunden die sie kennt geht es gut, doch an der Leine müssen Begegnungen mit ihr noch sehr geübt werden! Bei Interesse kann Nurii gerne besucht und kennengelernt werden, wir möchten aber ein neues Zuhause vorgängig gerne besichtigen. Herkunftsland (wo sich der Hund momentan aufhält): Schweiz Zuchtland: Schweiz Kontaktadresse: Claudius Reichenbach, E-Mail: , oder 88 Diesen Beitrag teilen

About Nurii

What life with Nurii looks like

Nurii is a medium-sized young adult border collie dog waiting at Berner Tierzentrum in Switzerland.

A young 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). Many animals leave sterilized and chipped, but confirm with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nurii, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nurii?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Berner Tierzentrum handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nurii on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nurii if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Berner Tierzentrum whether they will for Nurii, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Nurii already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Berner Tierzentrum lists Nurii as spayed. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Berner Tierzentrum, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Nurii isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Berner Tierzentrum about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nurii 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.
