Dachshund

The Dachshund is bold, affectionate, and full of character.

Barney, a 5 years old female Dachshund available for adoption from The Red Foundation in West Midlands

BreedDachshund

Barney is a truly lovely boy with a big heart and a love for cuddles. This affectionate little chap adores being close to his people and, once he knows you, will reward you with unwavering loyalty and companionship. He can be a little wary when meeting new people, but he simply needs a bit of time and patience to feel safe. Once he warms up, his loving nature really shines through and he becomes a devoted best friend. Barney enjoys a relaxed and happy lifestyle. He loves pottering around in the garden and soaking up the sunshine, but equally enjoys getting out for walks and having a good run around. He has good recall when out and about but can be reactive towards other dogs and will therefore need an understanding and mindful family. Earlier this year, Barney had symptoms of IVDD and this was managed with medication and rest. He is now doing well. He was previously treated for pancreatitis thought to be brought on by a food allergy and now enjoys a chicken and turkey free diet. Barney is looking for a calm, quiet home where he can feel safe and settled. He would be best suited to an adult only household, or one with older, dog-savvy children who understand his need for space when settling in. Barney needs a home where his people are around all of the time as he becomes very anxious when left alone. Barney would also benefit from living with a calm (spayed) female dachshund companion. Barney is a wonderful boy and with a little time, patience, and understanding, he will become a loyal and loving friend for life.

He is the friendliest, most affectionate little Dacci I’ve met! He has none of the usual ‘traits’ and is a pleasure to have in your company! Bentley is super dog friendly mixing well with dogs of all shapes and sizes on and off lead. He can be rehomed as an only dog or with other dogs. He’s not mets cats here. He’d suit children over 8y.o. Bentley walks beautifully on the lead and travels quietly in the car. This little Dacci is an absolute delight, he adores everyone he meets, enjoys his walks and loves to snuggle up next to a human! For people not familiar with the breed please read up on them before committing. Someone is going to be so lucky to have Bentley in their life, what is there not to like?

Beautiful Blossom is a sweet and endearing girl who thrives in the company of her trusted people. She is fond of a good ball game and loves cosying up on a lap whenever she can! She can become worried in busy environments and around some strangers and dogs, sometimes barking towards them, so will need her owner to advocate for her and provide her with reassurance and guidance when needed. Blossom wears a muzzle when out and about, as a safety precaution. She enjoys gentle, quiet, walks where she can sniff to her heart's content and take in her surroundings at her own pace. Blossom is looking for an experienced person or family that will have the time to continue with her training and socialisation and provide her with the mental and physical stimulation she needs. She will make a truly wonderful and affectionate companion for the right match.Due to her nervous nature at times, Blossom is looking for a calm, adult only home, without visiting children. A home in a rural/semi rural setting would be ideal. She can live in a ground floor flat as long as there is access to a private garden. Her new owner will be expected to continue her training and will receive three free 1:1 sessions with our Mayhew Animal Behaviourist to help guide them. Blossom has had a descale and polish of her teeth whilst with us. Blossom has been neutered, microchipped and vaccinated and is up to date with flea and worm treatment. She has also been health checked and behaviourally assessed. Lastly, every dog adopted from us will go home with 4 weeks free pet insurance.If you are interested in adopting this animal please read the information below, including the ‘Other notes’ section, to check your circumstances match the needs of this animal.

Cooper, a 3 years old male Dachshund available for adoption from The Red Foundation in West Midlands

BreedDachshund

Cooper is £450 3 years old Male, red dapple smooth mini Not neutered Cooper is a very loving mini dachshund who urgently needs to move to a forever home due to changes in circumstances in his current home. He is a stunning boy with an usual combination of one blue and one brown eye. He loves nothing more than cuddles and his favourite place is on a kind human’s lap! Cooper would love to live in a family where someone is around much of the time. At the moment he is left on his own for extended periods and has become quite barky as a result. This is typical of the breed – they love to be with people and with the right training and support (which we will provide if needed) he will quickly learn that being on his own is not a time to exercise his lungs. Outside the home, Cooper is a smart boy who likes to chase his ball, especially his scooby balls. His favourite thing is a rabbit ear, and his current owner says he knows the word and even the spelling, so he’s one smart dog! Cooper has grown up with older children and is a friendly, well-socialised dog. He could even live with a cat. Cooper is in good health, but is currently recovering from an episode of IVDD. The Red Foundation will support with medical costs for as long as this is an issue, and will discuss with potential adopters. He is making great progress and is now walking and is house-trained. Unfortunately, IVDD is always a risk with dachshunds but he has shown determination to recover and we will support him all the way.
