Hi there

does anyone know where we might be able to adopt a smallish dog from? We haven't found any even after visiting Strubli (pet shelter - all the dogs about the right size for us were already adopted). In a perfect world, we'd like one about 6 months old and around the size of a cocker spaniel or Jack russell... we'd prefer to adopt a dog that needs a home and is ok with two very active young boys aged 4 and 6. We are in a house with a garden and have a good warm area inside during winter. If you know of any dogs that fit this bill, please PM me!

Thanks

How wonderful that you are looking to adopt a dog in need - good on ya!

Here is the Swiss-wide database of homeless animals:

http://www.tierdatenbank.ch/cms/tier...unschtier.html

You can search by various critieria, including age, canton, sex, and other traits.
Don't be too put off by distance - a few hours' travel isn't much when you consider the next 10 or 15 years of loving, loyal companionship.

Browse through the database, keeping an open mind - hopefully you'll see a little one who tugs at your heart strings. For the contact information for each animal click on 'Anbieter Information'.

Best of luck in your search - hopefully your next best friend is out there, waiting for you.

And if you do find one that's right for you, be sure to post your experiences about the adoption on this thread.

Wow, thank you, this site is absolutely terrific!!! We're going to read through all the dogs as a family and then go and visit. We will definitely post on here when we find the dog for us. Thanks!!!
