Bruno & Winston – Bonded Pair
- Lincolnshire
- Adoption fee for both boys is £800
Bruno and Winston are a loving pair of dachshunds who are looking for a new home because of a change in circumstances. They currently live in a busy household with young children and the family is struggling to give them the attention and care they truly need and deserve.
The family feel that Bruno and Winston are missing out on a calmer, quieter home where they would thrive with a calm environment, plenty of attention and walks. These two sweet boys are looking for a peaceful environment where they can be given the walks, training and enrichment that will enable them to live their best dachshund lives.
Bruno
- 4 years 11 months
- Standard dachshund
- Blue/Grey Smooth coat
- Not Neutered
Bruno is the most loving, friendly little dog who adores people and is always ready for a cuddle. All he truly wants is a warm place to snuggle at night and a family to call his own. Loyal and affectionate, Bruno enjoys being around his humans and thrives on attention.
Though he can be vocal when hearing unfamiliar noises or meeting other dogs, Bruno is housetrained (with the occasional accident as he sometimes marks) and travels well in the car. He can also be left alone occasionally for up to 4 hours.
Winston
- 2 years 10 months
- Mini Dachshund
- Chocolate Brindle Smooth Coat
- Not Neutered
Winston is playful, full of energy, and still very puppy-like. He loves food, cuddles, and enjoys curling up on someone’s lap for a nap. Similar to Bruno, he can be vocal around new sounds or when meeting other dogs, but with patience and help from our behaviour team, this can be worked on. Winston is also housetrained, can handle car rides, and can be left for up to 4 hours making them both an ideal companion for those looking for a sweet, loyal friends.
Home Requirements for Bruno & Winston:
- A calm, caring, and loving home
- No cats or other dogs
- Older, dog-savvy children (13+)
- A home where they won’t be left for long periods

Ernie – Potential home found
- Cambridgeshire
- 1 year 11 months
- Male, miniature dachshund
- Chocolate & tan, long haired
- Not neutered
- Adoption fee is £450
Ernie is described as a sweet loving boy who loves spending time with his humans. He is being rehomed at the same time as another dog in the home due to him not liking strangers in the house. This has become more apparent since the owner had a baby. There is now another child on the way and the owner feels that this may be too much for Ernie.
Ernie is good with the young child, however is reactive to strangers inside and outside of the home. Ernie has never been walked in a public place and as a result will bark at anyone who is not familiar to him.
We feel that Ernie could live with sensible children 12+ who know and understand when to give a dog space, but slow and gentle introductions to his new home and surroundings will be required.
Ernie currently lives with 3 other dogs, including 2 dachshunds and they all get along well. As he has never been without the company of other dogs, we would love to find a home with at least one calm resident dog (females must be spayed).
Ernie is crate trained and sleeps in his crate overnight, he can also be left alone in his crate for up to 4 hours.
Requirements in a home:
- Calm rural or semi-rural home
- Minimal visitors
- Dog savvy children aged 12+
- Calm resident dog/s (females must be spayed)
If you are able to offer Ernie a home, please contact [email protected]
Tilly
- Cambridgeshire
- 1 year 7 months
- Female, miniature dachshund cross with labrador
- Black, smooth haired
- Not neutered
- Adoption fee is £400
Tilly is described as a sweet loving girl who loves spending time with her humans. She is being rehomed at the same time as another dog in the home due to her not liking strangers in the house. This has become more apparent since the owner had a baby. There is now another child on the way and the owner feels that this may be too much for Tilly.

Betty and Frank – Bonded Pair
- West Midlands
- Adoption fee for Frank and Betty is £450
FRANK
- 5 years old
- Male, mini, smooth, black and tan
- Neutered
BETTY
- 7 years old
- Female, tweenie, smooth, red
- Neutered
Frank and Betty are two bonded mini-dachshunds looking for a new home because their current family sadly can no longer care for them. They will make amazing companions for someone who can invest time and patience in their training.
Frank and Betty are happiest at home with people they know well and with whom they have a bond. They are affectionate and love to play with each other, have a burrow in some blankets and Frank is always up for a game of tug with his favourite wolf toy. Betty is a cuddle-bug who loves to snuggle with her special person. They are a sensitive pair who don’t like unexpected noises and will bark at strangers and people walking past the home, so a quiet home or space where they won’t be distracted by a busy street would be ideal.
Both dogs are nervous on walks, they are reactive to other dogs and strangers and will bark loudly, although Frank is usually much more relaxed when walked separately. Betty unfortunately bit a stranger on a walk earlier this year, but this was a one-off incident caused by fear. Both dogs are kept on the lead. They are responsive to training and we would expect their new family to work with them to help them build their confidence and reduce their reactivity (with our help if needed). Someone with experience of reactive dachshunds would be ideal, but anyone who is open to working with this kind of dog will be considered.
Frank and Betty sleep together in a crate at night-time. Both occasionally have accidents in the home, so their new owner would need patience to remind them of where to go. Both dogs provide each other with comfort and companionship and, once settled, can be left for periods of time.
Requirements in a home:
- Quiet home in a quiet area
- No children
- No other dogs – although they currently live happily with other dogs, they are reactive to dogs they don’t know
- No cats
- Someone with the time and commitment to continue their training

Millie
- Derbyshire
- 4 years old
- Female, miniature dachshund
- Chocolate & tan, smooth coat
- Not neutered
- Adoption Fee £450
Millie is a brave and affectionate little dachshund who has made remarkable progress since her Grade-5 IVDD episode in April. She’s up and walking, although a bit wobbly, and with continued support, she may become more stable over time. Potential adopters should however be prepared for the possibility that she may always retain a little wobbliness. The Red Foundation will provide ongoing guidance and support to ensure Millie’s recovery continues smoothly.
Millie’s current family believes she would thrive in a home where more attention can be devoted to her recovery and where she has someone around to keep her company. She could potentially live with a calm resident dog, but she does get nervous and vocal around larger, high-energy dogs, which is understandable given her IVDD experience.
Millie is a loving and social girl who adores being around people and snuggling on a cosy sofa. She can be vocal when meeting new people in the home but quickly settles once she feels comfortable. While she can be left alone for short periods after settling into her new routine, she’s best suited to a calm, quiet home that prioritises her comfort and recovery.
One of Millie’s challenges is her anxiety during car journeys, which she finds stressful.
Millie deserves a patient and loving family who can provide her with a peaceful environment and the continued care she needs. If you’re looking for a sweet and resilient companion to share your life with, Millie could be the perfect match.
Requirements in a home:
- Someone who has the time to help her continue to recover and manage IVDD
- Possibly a calm dog companion for her
- Can live with sensible children
