Tilly
- Worcester
- 1 year 9 months
- Female, miniature dachshund crossed with Labrador
- Black, smooth haired
- Not neutered
- Adoption fee is £400
Beautiful Tilly is currently in emergency foster care in Worcester. She came to us frightened and scared of the world, but with lots of help and support from her wonderful fosterer she is beginning to trust people and enjoy life. She will soon be ready to move to her forever home.
We are looking for an extra special and patient forever home for Tilly. She has the potential to be a loving dog and playful companion, but will require time to settle in and trust her new family.
Tilly has never bitten, but we feel that she does have the potential to especially during the early days where she is likely to be frightened. We are looking for an adult only home with minimal visitors that will be able to allow her time to decompress and that is willing and able to continue her training to help Tilly become a confident young dog. Full support from The Red Foundation behaviour team will be given.
Tilly lived with 3 other dogs, including 2 dachshunds and they all got along well, although she is reactive to dogs outside the house. As she has never been without the company of other dogs, we would love to find a home with one older, calm resident dog (preferably a neutered male). Slow and gentle introductions would be required and again full support will be given on how to integrate her successfully.
Tilly is crate trained and sleeps in her crate overnight, she can also be left alone in her crate for up to 4 hours.
Requirements in a home:
- Adult only home with minimal visitors
- Calm rural or semi-rural home
- Willing and able to work through behaviour issues with support from The Red Foundation team
- Calm older resident dog/s (males must be neutered)
If you can offer Tilly her forever home, please contact sarah@theredfoundation.net
Albie and Doris – Bonded Pair
- Gloucester
- Adoption fee for both dogs is £800
Doris and Albie are a delightful mother and son duo looking for a new family after a change in their owner’s circumstances. Unfortunately, their owner is no longer able to provide the time and attention these two wonderful dogs deserve.
Both Albie and Doris are sweet, affectionate dogs who will bring joy to a loving home.
Doris
- 2 years 6 months
- Female miniature dachshund
- Brown dapple, Smooth
- Not neutered
Albie
- 1 year 4 months
- Male miniature dachshund crossed Pomeranian
- Red, smooth coat
- Not neutered
Doris is described as “very loving and sweet” by her current owner. She has a gentle nature and enjoys spending time with her family. Doris is great around children and enjoys giving affection in her own way.
Albie is equally affectionate, with a love for cuddles and a few playful licks to show his affection. He is a friendly and loyal companion who will quickly form a bond with his new family. Like Doris, Albie is great with children and is eager to be loved.
Doris can be reactive to dogs on walks, sometimes lunging at other dogs. Additionally, both Doris and Albie are sensitive to noise, strangers, cars, and other dogs, which can lead to barking. These behaviours will require further training and support, which we can provide through our behaviourists.
Both Doris and Albie are housetrained and can be left for up to 4 hours without issue. They are familiar with basic commands, including sit, paw, stay, and down, making them intelligent and eager to learn companions.
Both dogs are great with children, making them excellent family pets. However, they are not used to being around cats, so we are unsure how they would react to a home with one.
Requirements in a home:
- No other dogs
- Not cat tested
- Good with children

Elvis
- Lincolnshire
- 6 years old
- Male, miniature
- Black and tan, smooth coat
- Not neutered
- Adoption fee is £350
Elvis has always been a very friendly, very loving dog who loves people and attention. He is house trained, good in the car, he has never shown any tendency to guard food or toys. He can be barky with visitors but soon comes around. He doesn’t like cats.
Elvis can bark when left alone however is happy to be left for up to 2-3 hrs. In a smaller space with his bed and toys.
Elvis knows a range of commands such as Sit, Paw, Lay down, drop, leave and more.
Unfortunately having shown no aggression previously, Elvis did bite twice in the same week. This was out of character for him.
Elvis was taken to the vets and checked over and although the vets could find no pain, He has been on a course of pain killers as a trial.
Elvis has shown no signs of aggression since and while this is great news, any adoptive home needs to be aware of this behaviour and will continue to work with us to manage it.
Requirements in a home:
- Quiet and caring experienced home
- No children
- No cats
- No dogs
If you are interested in Elvis and meet the criteria, please email rosie@theredfoundation.net
Betsy
- SUTTON COLDFIELD
- 2 years old
- Female, mini, smooth, Isabella dapple piebald
- Not-neutered
- Adoption fee for Betsy is £450
Betsy is a lovely miniature dachshund who has had a very hard start in life. She was rescued after being found abandoned, and subsequently had an accidental pregnancy. This has now disrupted her relationship with the other female dog in the house and they can now no longer be in each other’s company without fighting. Despite the stress and anxiety she feels on a daily basis, she remains an affectionate, loving little dog but, with four children and three other dogs in the house, her family has made the difficult decision to re-home her so she can continue to get the care and attention she deserves.
Betsy could potentially live with a calm, friendly, neutered male dog following a successful introduction as she gets on well with the male dog in her current home. She also gets along well with sensible children and adores attention from her trusted people – she has come a long way in a very short time! Like many dachshunds, she has a big bark and can be vocal around strangers and unfamiliar visitors, but overall, she’s an affectionate companion. She is happy sleeping in her bed in the kitchen or in bed with her humans. Outside the home, she will ignore unfamiliar dogs and enjoys her walks. She can be walked off the lead and has great recall.
Despite being much-loved, Betsy is on-edge all the time in the home because of her poor relationship with the other, female, dog. This has shown itself in accidents and barking when left on her own when the owner is with the other dog, and also occasional chair-leg nibbling. Her current owner feels that in a calm environment this should resolve itself, as she is usually reliably house-trained.
Requirements in a home for Betsy
- Could live with a calm, neutered male dog, subject to a successful meet
- A home where someone is around most of the time
- Sensible children age 10+
- No cats
