What is it like to live in Stuttgart, Germany?

Anyone know of any animal shelters in Stuttgart, Germany?

• Looking to adopt a dog. I live in Germany for now, Stuttgart-Vaihingen. Addresses will help, but anything you can give me is great.

• Answer:

  The following 'Tierheime' (Shleters) are located close to you. There will also be unoficial shelters, vets etc that have dogs for adoption. So if you can't find the right dog at any of these shelters the people at the shelters should be able to direct you to these place. Another place to look is at local vets, especially if you are looking for a puppy. Since there is still a lot of farming going on in the Stuttgart area there are always some farms that have some mixed-breed puppys to give away and the vets should be able to tell you where. Since you are from Vaihingen I assume you are Military. Once you get a dog make sure you take it to the vet regularily so it can get all its shots in time that way you won't have any problems taking the dog back to the US. Also, there is a 'dog tax' in Germany, make sure you inform yourself about that and if you need to pay it also or if there is an exemption for US-military Tierschutzverein Esslingen u. U. e.V.
