Berner Tierzentrum

Berner Tierzentrum is the animal centre of the Bern protection society, located in Hinterkappelen, canton of Bern, Switzerland. It takes in dogs, cats and small animals from the capital region that need a temporary or permanent home.

The centre organises stays by species and health status, with quarantine for new arrivals and socialisation areas for longer-term residents. The carer team works with steady routines that give security to the most sensitive animals.

Adoptions are handled by appointment with a prior talk, in German, about each animal's character and needs. Berner Tierschutz also promotes neutering and responsible treatment of domestic animals across the canton.
