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

Albert

West Midlands
SexMale
Age3 years
BreedDachshund

Albert is £350 3 years, 10 months old Male, Chocolate Brown & Tan Smooth Miniature Dachshund 6 Kgs Neutered Albert’s family describe him as a wonderful loving dog. Sadly, due to a change in circumstances, Albert is being left alone for longer periods of time, which is increasing his anxiety. His family feels he deserves a home where he can receive the love, companionship, and stability he truly needs. This sweet boy is full of energy. He loves long walks, spending time outdoors, and is happiest when he’s active and engaged. Like many dachshunds, he has a strong prey drive and may try to chase smaller animals, including cats. Albert doesn’t mind smaller sized dogs but is known to be reactive to big white fluffy dogs. Albert finds it very difficult being left alone, he struggles to settle and can become destructive when bored, so he needs a home where someone is around most of the time. With patience, consistency, and ongoing training, Albert has the potential to thrive. He’s a clever lad who loves his food, learns quickly, and already knows some fun tricks, his latest including Paw and Sit! He loves cuddles and being close to his family members. Albert would be best suited to a calm, adult(s) or loving family who can provide him with companionship, plenty of cuddles, and the guidance he needs to grow into a confident, well-mannered boy. In return, he will bring endless love, energy, and joy into your life.

Age2 years
BreedCrossbreed

2 Years Old | Neutered | Older ChildrenAlfie was pulled from a pound where his time had sadly run out. He’s an adult Lurcher-type dog with very limited eyesight, and without intervention, his future was bleak. Team Poundie stepped in, settling him into safe, comfortable kennels — but it was clear straight away that Alfie needed a home, and quickly.A veterinary assessment confirms that Alfie is an adult dog, older than two years but not elderly.Thankfully, a wonderful foster family came forward, and Alfie is now enjoying life in a loving (though temporary) home. Once he realised that food was regular and reliable, he relaxed significantly — the counter-surfing stopped, and his gentle nature really shone through.Alfie behaves beautifully indoors. He enjoys lounging, cuddles, and calm companionship, and is fully house trained. He loves pottering around the garden, taking in the world through scent and sound rather than sight.Alfie can be unsure around some dogs, likely due to his time homeless and his limited vision. When out walking, he may react by barking and then freezing, needing reassurance and gentle encouragement to move on.That said, Alfie has successfully shared a home and garden with another dog without any aggression. His challenges come from over-excitement and a lack of doggy manners rather than malice. This can include bouncy play and mouthing, which is why we would recommend a home without small children.Despite his eyesight, Alfie navigates the house and garden confidently. His close vision is very limited, so he may miss hand signals or treats held close, but he compensates well using his other senses. He has been fully vet-checked and, aside from his vision impairment, is a healthy adult dog. He has recently been neutered and is recovering well.Alfie will thrive with the right environment and support. His ideal home would offer:A calm, patient owner or family who can help him settle, decompress, and continue building confidenceSupport with managing his reactivity to dogs when out walking (Team Poundie can assist with behaviourist support if needed)An uncluttered home and garden so he can move around safely and confidentlyAn adult-only home, or one with older, dog-savvy childrenSomeone who is home most of the time, or can ensure Alfie is comfortable and safe when left aloneA very secure garden where he can explore independentlyA calm, socially mature resident dog may be possible — and could even be a bonus to help him learn polite dog behaviourAlfie’s foster family describe him as “gorgeous” — and we couldn’t agree more. He’s a gentle, affectionate soul who has already come so far and is so close to being everything he can be.If you think you could offer Alfie the safe, loving home he deserves, applications can be made via our website or by emailing info@teampoundie.com.Thank you for reading, liking, and sharing — every single click truly does count.

This sweet girl has been quietly making progress and is on the lookout for a forever home!Aliza was adopted as a puppy back in 2021 along with her mum and siblings. She was returned to us in February 2024 and since then has been in kennels she took a while to come round and show her happy side but the team there have done an amazing job with her and she’s ready for the next steps!!Aliza takes a while to warm up to new people.

She would like a doggy friend for company, they must be playful as she loves to play!

BreedCrossbreed

Amelia is a bright, young girl who is looking for a loving home to call her own. Full of life and enthusiasm, she’s a typical youngster who loves to run around at 100mph, catch every sniff, play with her toys, and make the most of every walk & minute with her humans.Amelia will need some ongoing training from the basics up, as she’s still learning about the world and prior to coming to us has likely had no input. Her lead walking is improving nicely—she can be a little excitable and all over the place at the start of her walks, but once she settles, she does walk much better. With a bit of patience and consistency, she’s sure to continue making great progress but training classes will certainly help her.She has been good with other dogs during her time here and could potentially live with another dog, provided temperaments suit.Amelia is a very friendly girl who enjoys human company, though she can sometimes look for reassurance in new or uncertain situations. Because of this, she’ll benefit from a home that can help build her confidence and support her as she continues to grow.With her fun-loving nature and affectionate personality, Amelia has so much potential to be a wonderful companion. All she needs is someone willing to give her time and invest in her training.

Amira, our sweet shepherd mix is desperate for a new life.Sadly she was returned to us initially due to reactivity to other dogs and has spent most of her first summer in kennels rather than the home she deserved. She was adopted again and returned earlier this month after she nipped a visitor to the second homeShe was saved from a kill shelter in Romania and wanting a quiet life for herself with someone that loves her. At home she was a good girl and left some energy for 9pm zoomies!Amira is 4 years old, a sweet and gentle girl. This beautiful scruff is around 57cm tall and has been in the UK since early March, settling in. She enjoys her walks on the lead and a bit of an adventure but she is a home bird and her favourite things are tummy rubs and cuddles at home with the people she loves.Amira can be reactive to other dogs which we believe has come from her history of the shelter. She has previously been around other dogs without issue but the lead seems to trigger her anxieties. She would appreciate a quiet home with few visitors. Just a quiet home to relax in. We think Amira is a mioritic shepherd mix, despite being smaller than your average mio, her wariness of strangers is typical of the breed.If you have room in your heart and home for Amira and would like to apply to adopt her please send us a message. This girl has spent years of her life in awful conditions and to only be able to give her a kennel is heartbreaking she needs to be understood.

Stunning girl Amy….. the first picture shows how she was found as a puppy. We have seen her grow up in Bosnia into the beautiful, happy and sweet dog you see in the rest of the pictures.Amy has waited a long time for a family to call her own. Sadly without available foster space here were unable to take her until we find a suitable place for her, so she has patiently waitedAmy is around 15kg and is a super friendly girl! She loves people and other dogs….. she loves cats too but is very interested in playing with them and probably not the best fit with most cats. Amy is a collector and her favourite game is definitely fetch! She likes to carry things around with her and bring them to youAmy is now 1-2 years old and deserves a chance to be part of a real family - we want to find that for her in 2026

BreedPocket Bully

Poor Annie was unfortunately returned to us as she was let out the front door and nipped the delivery drivers bottom We know she isn't going to be an easy rehome but we are going to give it our best shot. She is stubborn especially on walks and quite single minded so doesn't need an active home. On the flip side she loves to play especially with squeaky toys and all her energy is put into that instead of exercise! Annie likes to keep her family to herself and would prefer no visitors in her home, although she is a massive foodie and can be bribed but a busy household wouldn't suit this princess. Once you are in her trust circle she will shower you with kisses, licks and tummy tickles with the occasional headbutt if she gets too excited. According to her last owner she wasn't bothered around dogs - we have found she can be 50 / 50 with them so unfortunately a pet free.We don't mean to be negative nellies but we do need to be as honest as we can so that we can find her the right home where someone can give her a real chance.If you think that might be you PLEASE get in touch and request an adoption questionnaire via emailinfo@forest-dog-rescue.org.uk

AgeUnknown
BreedCocker Spaniel X Poodle

Annie is a young, active girl who is just learning how fun the world is. Even after not having the best start to life she is full of energy and loves to explore and adores human company, she will be looking for a family where someone can be around most of the time to start with until she has settled in as she does struggle alone at the moment. Ideally the home would have its own secure garden in case she needs a little time to get used to going out for walks as she hasn’t been used to the outside world. We think she would suit a family with older children as she can get worried by loud noises and quick movements. Annie could share her home with another similar sized dog; she loves to play and has not shown any problems around beds toys or treats but may need to learn that she cannot play constantly. Annie has stolen the hearts of all the staff and volunteers she has met and once shes settled into the home we think she will be so much fun. She has had very little training beforehand so is learning all the basics and this will need continuing in the home as well as refreshing on toilet training so needs a family willing to do this. We feel Annie could also share her home with a cat, as long as scent swaps and an introduction goes ok. If you are after a playful, lively girl and the time to put in to train and socialise her – then look no further!​

Would you even believe it if we told you that this handsome young man arrived with us as a stray?Found in Herefordshire and not claimed, absolutely their loss we say.Archer is THE most loving and affectionate young lad, he quite literally cannot be close enough to you, if he can’t be leaning on you he has to have his paw on your foot, incredibly loyal and once he loves you he is so eager to please, he stares so lovingly into your eyes waiting for you to give him his next command.Archer knows all his basic training but with a little bit of fizz thrown in, after all he’s still just a big puppy We must mention though, on first meeting strangers he can be fearful and can bark, he shows all the signs of an under socialised pup, we are working hard with this and ensuring new people do not rush up to him and give him time and space to respect his boundaries as he’s building his confidence in new situations. It generally takes Archer a minute or two to realise that people aren’t so scary after all and after that you’ve got a friend for life Archer also shows signs of separation anxiety and we can only assume that this may be part of the reason that he found himself as a stray.Again, we are working on this with lots of positive training.We are looking for an owner/home with experience of managing separation issues, an active lifestyle and someone who can commit to further training and socialisation.A home with another friendly dog can be considered, Archer has not been tested with cats as yet.

Adorable Arthur (Holding Arthur) is another new youngster joining us at our Monkspath kennels.At just 2 years old, Arthur is proving to be quite the hit with our volunteers and is getting out and about but very excited about his new world. At the moment we don't think he would be very good with smalll furries but is small dog friendly but this youngster is still learning. He is not bothered by outdoor noises such as traffic or farm machinery.A quieter natured, loving lad, Arthur is currently undergoing our testing, to establish which type of family would suit him best but he definitely doesn't mind being with children. He was happy to be taken 'shopping' by one of our volunteers and did so well. We will update his profile as we learn more about him.A stunning black beauty, smaller than your average male, we're sure Arthur will be snapped up quickly by his Forever Family.To meet him, please get in touch..
