Ricky und Billy

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

These two dogs are desperately in need of a new home! These two dogs were found in a stable in a deserted "Masseria." They were left there without food and water. A volunteer visits them every day and brings them water and food. However, the dogs cannot stay there. They urgently need a home. The dogs have been vaccinated, dewormed, and their MMK is still pending. They run well on a leash, seek contact with people. We are desperately searching for a last resort, final place – the summer is coming, the dog catchers are on the way – the entry for an old dog into Canile means a certain death. ☹ Does someone have a dog bed free? The dogs could also be rehomed separately.

Diese beiden Hunde suchen dringend ein neues Zuhause! Diese beiden Hunde wurden in einer verlassenen «Masseria» in einem Stall gefunden. Man hat sie ohne Futter und Wasser dort zurückgelassen. Eine Volontärin geht jeden Tag zu den Hunden und bringt ihnen Wasser und Futter. Jedoch können die Hunde dort nicht bleiben. Sie bräuchten dringend ein Zuhause. Die Hunde wurden geimpft, entwurmt, die MMK sind noch ausstehend, laufen gut an der Leine, suchen den Kontakt zu den Menschen. Wir suchen händeringend einen Gnadenplatz, Endplatz – der Sommer kommt, die Hundefänger sind unterwegs – der Eintritt für einen alten Hund in das Canile bedeute seinen sicheren Tod. ☹ Hat jemand ein Körbchen frei? Die Hunde könnten auch getrennt vermittelt werden.

About Ricky und Billy

What life with Ricky und Billy looks like

Ricky und Billy is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at SOS Strassenhunde in Sos Strassenhunde.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇨🇭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 Ricky und Billy, answered.

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