Dear all,
A friend of ours has lost his 2 long haired standard dachshunds (black and tan, one male and one female) when they jumped out of their kennel while he was unloading at a garage. He is absolutely heartbroken and has been searching for almost 2 weeks now. If anyone has tips or sees/finds the two he would be very grateful!

i assume he has gone to the tierschutz in basel?

Jules, I quickly skimmed the Tierdatenbank to see if the dogs are registered as lost, and didn't find them. Please tell your friend to list them, including a photo:

Also - has the owner notified ANIS? Anyone finding a dog is required to report to both the cantonal authority and to check the chip with ANIS.

For other tips, see this thread:
Tips on How To Report a Lost or Found Pet

Paws crossed that these doglets make it home safely.

I have been thinking a lot about these poor dogs and their owner, please could you give us an update.

Hello everyone!
Sorry it has taken so long for me to get an update on my friends dogs. Here is the new information:

They were not lost near his home in Allschwil, but near a friend's home in Pratteln. The listing for the missing dogs is here: http://www.stmz.ch/de/index.php?lang...d=44535&back=1

These two have now been gone for 1 month and our friend is absolutely heartbroken over the situation. I'm trying to spread the word in the hopes that some soul runs across them.

If you have any leads, please message me as the owner will be out of town for the next few weeks.

Thanks again.

as its a month, either they are in the shelter, at someones home or the worst has happened.

i assume the owner has put up small posters in the area and also in the various pet stores around pratteln/basel sbb and in weil, I ask as i have not seen any relating to 2 dogs and the pet store would be a logical focal point.

This must be horrible for the dog owner, i bet he is heartbroken! Have my fingers crossed and hope that he'll find them very soon!!
