Adopting a pet in Tunisia

Hello,

Are you a dog or a cat person? A pet can add life to a home and make an ideal travel companion during your expatriation in Tunisia.

However, formalities or regulations might put you off traveling with your pet making adoption a better option.

Are there any particular rules or procedures for the adoption of an animal in Tunisia?

What are the costs associated with adopting a pet in Tunisia?

Are there different procedures depending on the animal?

Are pet-sitting options available?

Have you ever adopted a pet in Tunisia? Is he or she still with you today?

Thank you in advance for your feedback,

Loïc

Hi,
My father in law is originally from Djerba and moved back a few years ago so we visit him quite frequently. He has a few dogs and somehow many of the strays gravitate toward him. As far as we know there are no specific regulations on dog or cat adoptions/ownership in this country. Other than the dogs should be contained within a property if aggressive... If you plan on traveling with the animals I believe the regulations are specific to the country you are visiting.
If you are looking to adopt a dog a small female wandered onto our property last week (less than two months old) that needs a good home and loving owner. Let me know if you are interested.

Hope this helped!
