Noodles
- Leeds
- Male, 5yrs 9mths
- Red, smooth coat
- Neutered
- Adoption fee is £250
Noodles is currently in a foster home and is proving to be an incredibly loving companion who thrives on close contact and affection. His favourite pastimes include snuggling up beside you with plenty of belly rubs.
Initially surrendered at the end of January, Noodles was placed in an emergency foster home as he was suffering from IVDD and his original owners were unable to continue his care. Noodles faced challenges such as loss of mobility in his back legs and incontinence. However, with dedicated care and attention he has made remarkable progress. His bladder and bowel functions are now fully in control, and he has regained stability in his hind legs… he is even enjoying short walks.
Still needing care and attention towards a full recovery, Noodles is showing signs that he’s an active dog so once he’s fully recovered we feel he will be up for some nice regular walks.
He lived with another dachshund in his original home and with a female dachshund in his foster home. However, there were a couple incidents of aggression towards the other dog so he was moved to a home as an only dog, this does seem to suit him a lot better although he would love to have some play mates outside of the house.
Noodles can be reactive and will give warnings when he’s not happy, for example, he doesn’t like to be moved off the sofa until he’s ready, this caused him to bite in his original home but in his foster home he has growled to give warning but never bitten. His foster family have been actively addressing this with the help of a behaviourist and we are confident that this will continue to improve with consistency and patience in his forever home.
Noodles is crate trained and he’s happy to be left for a few hours in his crate. He will whine initially but soon stops and is always pleased to see you on your return. He travels well in a car although doesn’t really enjoy it.
With his loving and affectionate nature, he’s familiar with some commands and is motivated by treats and praise. Finding him a confident owner will be important for his continued development and happiness. It’s also nice to hear that he’s bonded well with the whole family and enjoys the presence of males. With the right guidance and training, he’s sure to thrive in his new home.
Requirements in a home:
- Calm family, couple or single person home
- Someone who has time and patience, who can continue to work on his behaviours (with the support from The Red Foundation)
- Children age 16+ years old who can appreciate his personal space and support his care and training
- No dogs
- No cats
If you have the time and the patience to continue with Noodles recovery and to work on improving his behaviours, please send an email to [email protected]

LIL – GRANTHAM
- 2 years 7 months
- Female, Miniature
- Red, smooth coat
- Not neutered
- Adoption fee is £450
Lil was previously rescued whilst she was pregnant with Daisy but sadly due to a change in her owners circumstances, she is looking for a new home. With her owner having to go back to work full time, Lil is being left for long hours and not getting the attention that she needs. This was a difficult decision but they feel she would be better in a home where she is not left for too long and that she can get the attention that she needs.
Lil is described as being as a very loving and sweet little girl who loves attention and a belly rubs. However, Lil can bark at other dogs on walks, which can appear aggressive but after a while she is fine. Lil has lived with other dogs so is fine once she is used to them. We would like meets if moving to a home with other dogs. Lil is also fearful of strangers coming into the house so management of visitors would also be needed and support on this and her reactivity to dogs outside of the house would be provided by our behaviour team.
Lil is housetrained and crate trained and has been left for long hours, however we recommend no longer than 4 hours at a time. She hasn’t been around cats.
Lil is fine with children and has never bitten however meetings would be necessary along with gentle and slow introductions.
- Calm adult only or family home that can commit time to settling Lil in
- Other dogs are fine but would need multiple meetings
- Children age 7+ who can give her space and allow her to settle
- No cats
If you feel you can provide Lil with a lovely home and work on her anxieties around dogs and people that she doesn’t know, please email [email protected]
