Fourmi & Faustine

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 16 years

Faustine and Fourmi, two very close sisters, are sweet little companions looking for an attentive family following the passing of their owner. These adorable dachshunds, with their calm temperament, are affectionate and sociable. They will enjoy short walks and, above all, the peace and quiet of their new home. They get along well with dogs and with cats that won't come bothering them, but they are not suited to young children.

FR·Show original

Faustine et Fourmi, sœurs très fusionnelles, sont de douces petites compagnes de vie qui recherchent une famille présente suite au décès de leur propriétaire. Ces adorables teckels, de caractère tranquille, affectueuses et sociables, apprécieront de courtes ballades et surtout le calme de leur nouveau foyer. Elles s’entendent avec les chiens et les chats qui ne viendront pas les embêter, mais ne sont pas adaptées pour des jeunes enfants.

About Fourmi & Faustine

What life with Fourmi & Faustine looks like

Fourmi & Faustine is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Oasis des vétérans.

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). Many animals leave sterilized and chipped, but confirm with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Fourmi & Faustine, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Fourmi & Faustine?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Oasis des vétérans handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Fourmi & Faustine on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Fourmi & Faustine if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Oasis des vétérans whether they will for Fourmi & Faustine, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Fourmi & Faustine already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Fourmi & Faustine. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Oasis des vétérans, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Fourmi & Faustine isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Oasis des vétérans about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Fourmi & Faustine 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 (FR). 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.
