Rocky &#8211

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Rocky was rehomed in the Bodensee area until recently, but had to make way for a puppy. Originally from France, he is an attached, eager, cheerful, and playful male dog. Given some time and space, he seeks contact on his own and, once he has gained trust, he is very open, charming, and in need of support. In general, he has a very affectionate connection with women. Rocky is house-trained, walks well on a leash, and can also be left alone occasionally. He masters the basic commands, is well-mannered, and has a solid basic education. What he doesn't particularly like is being touched by strangers. In an exception, he can sometimes dart away to create space for himself. Rocky gets along well with fellow animals, enjoys swimming, loves car rides, and adores long walks. Rocky needs dog-experienced people, preferably without children, who can confidently lead him, show him a lot of love and patience, and take into account his needs, especially at the beginning, to get to know him. He would also be happy to be paired with a confident and calm female dog. Rocky has a chip, a passport, and all his vaccinations are up to date (R+DHPPI+Lepto). His teeth were cleaned, and he is not neutered. Rocky currently lives on a foster home in Karlsruhe, about 2 hours away from Basel, and will be rehomed to suitable and loving hands against an expense contribution. Those interested can contact his foster parents directly via the following email address: . Alternatively, contact can also be made under the number 0041 79 712 56 96.

Rocky war bis vor Kurzem im Raum Bodensee vermittelt, musste aber einem Welpe weichen. Ursprünglich stammt er aus Frankreich. Er ist ein anhänglicher, gelehriger, fröhlicher und lustiger Rüde. Gibt man ihm etwas Zeit und Raum, sucht er von alleine den Kontakt und sobald er Vertrauen gefasst hat, ist er sehr aufgeschlossen, charmant und anlehnungsbedürftig. Zu Frauen hat er generell sehr schnell einen sehr liebevollen Draht. Rocky ist stubenrein, läuft gut an der Leine und kann zwischendurch auch mal alleine bleiben. Er beherrscht die Grundkommandos, ist artig und hat eine solide Grunderziehung. Was er nicht besonders mag, ist von fremden Menschen angefasst zu werden. Da kann er im Ausnahmefall auch mal wegschnappen, um sich Raum zu schaffen. Rocky versteht sich gut mit Artgenossen, schwimmt gerne, fährt gerne Auto und liebt ausgiebige Spaziergänge. Rocky braucht hundeerfahrene Menschen, am liebsten ohne Kinder, die ihn souverän führen können, ihm viel Liebe und Geduld entgegenbringen, auf seine Bedürfnisse eingehen und vor allem am Anfang auch Zeit einplanen um ihn kennenzulernen. Gerne auch zu einer souveränen und ruhigen Hündin. Rocky hat einen Chip, einen Pass und seine Impfungen sind alle auf dem neusten Stand, (R+DHPPI+Lepto). Seine Zähne wurden gereinigt, er ist nicht kastriert. Rocky lebt zur Zeit auf einer Pflegestelle bei Karlsruhe, etwa 2 Stunden Fahrt von Basel entfernt und wird gegen einen Unkostenbeitrag in passende und liebevolle Hände vermittelt. Wer Interesse hat, kann direkt seine Pflegemenschen unter folgender E-Mail Adresse kontaktieren: . Alternativ wäre auch eine Kontaktaufnahme unter der Nummer 0041 79 712 56 96 willkommen.

About Rocky &#8211

What life with Rocky &#8211 looks like

Rocky &#8211 is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzbund Basel Regional.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇨🇭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 Rocky &#8211, answered.

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