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

Can I adopt Rusa &#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 Rusa &#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 Rusa &#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 Rusa &#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.

Rusa &#8211

Podenco · Female · Senior · 12 years

Born on December 2, 2023, RUSA brings her 52 cm shoulder height and around 13 kg the perfect mix of elegance and lightness. Originally from Spain, she was adopted into Switzerland—but unfortunately, by someone who was overwhelmed with two simultaneously adopted dogs. So RUSA came to us and was fortunate enough to move to a loving foster home in the Canton of Thurgau shortly after. There, she shows herself to be a very friendly, beautiful female dog who gets along well with other dogs and has already made great progress. Interaction with cats has not yet been tested, and she should ideally live with children only from about 12 years old. Now, RUSA is ready for the next step: a permanent home with people who will give her time, patience, and love. Report from the dog shelter Grisette in the Swiss Jura: RUSA, Breed: Podenco, born: December 2, 2023, size: 52 cm / ca 13 kg Cat interaction: not yet tested Dog interaction with children: from 12 years old More info: RUSA originally came from Spain. We took her from someone here in Switzerland who adopted her directly from the internet and then found herself overwhelmed with RUSA and the second dog that moved in at the same time. Shortly after her arrival with us in the Jura, RUSA moved to a private foster home until a home was found. RUSA is a friendly and beautiful female dog, compatible with other dogs, and has already made very good progress at her foster home in the Canton of Thurgau. Now she is ready to move into her own home. RUSA’s diary with more photos, videos, and information can be found on our homepage: www.grisette.ch.

Geboren am 02.12.2023, bringt RUSA mit ihren 52 cm Schulterhöhe und rund 13 kg die perfekte Mischung aus Eleganz und Leichtigkeit mit. Ursprünglich stammt sie aus Spanien, wurde jedoch in die Schweiz adoptiert – leider von jemandem, der mit zwei gleichzeitig adoptierten Hunden überfordert war. So kam RUSA zu uns und durfte glücklicherweise schon bald auf eine liebevolle Pflegestelle im Kanton Thurgau umziehen. Dort zeigt sie sich als sehr freundliche, hübsche Hündin, die gut mit anderen Hunden auskommt und bereits tolle Fortschritte gemacht hat. Der Umgang mit Katzen wurde bisher nicht getestet, mit Kindern sollte sie idealerweise erst ab etwa 12 Jahren zusammenleben. Jetzt ist RUSA bereit für den nächsten Schritt: ein dauerhaftes Zuhause bei Menschen, die ihr Zeit, Geduld und Liebe schenken möchten.

About Rusa &#8211

What life with Rusa &#8211 looks like

Rusa &#8211 is a medium-sized senior podenco dog waiting at Tierschutzbund Basel Regional.

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.
