Greater Swiss Mountain Dog Forum:
Found Swissy Houston Humane So

On November 13,2002 I adopted a beautiful female Swissie, 33lbs. with all of her adult teeth. I contacted the previous owner(Clear Lake,TX) who said that she got the pup from a woman at Petsmart or Petco through "some kind of shelter" adoption. This girl is precious!!! Is anyone missing a puppy? Her name is reportedly NOLA. She has classic markings-white streak up the head, all four boots with some spotting. She must have been spayed at the first (?) shelter because she was tatooed when she arrived at the Houston Humane Society. I'm familiar with Swissies because my brother was going to buy a pup from a breeder in Kentucky but it was a false pregnancy. He shared his research with me. Also, I have met "Swissy Bob" in Victoria TX and another breeder from north of Houston(lady, don't remember her name). I have one large HHS dog (mixed) and a wonderful Golden Rescue. NOLA is a wonderful welcome addition. She wasn't planned but she is adapting beautifully. I just wanted to try to locate her breeder to let them know what happened. Also, any idea on age? The shelter said about 6mos. but I'm not sure. Please email me at suzyhome@att.net Thanks for any help or info! I JUST COULD NOT BELIEVE SHE WAS IN A SHELTER? WHAT HAPPENED?????>?
