@Schouiffy:
The only older Dog organization en Suisse I have heard of is http://www.oasis-des-veterans.com
but I dont know if she matches up older dogs with older ppl - she does adopt them out though. π
made my heart melt, and my eyes get a bit watery - so I had to "godparent" a dog.
That's a good idea to become a godmother, I'll check the site; I felt like you when a saw a program on TV, as the person who looks after older dogs lets elderly people adopt them and if they die, she takes the dogs back! All the dogs were crippled, half blind, no teeth, etc,etc, I was nearly in tears at the end of the programme, getting too sentimental I think! Saying that, the dogs looked much happier than a lot of elderly people in old people's homes!
