Hulk – Urgent Foster to Adopt Home Needed

  • Merseyside
  • 4 year old
  • Male, miniature dachshund
  • Black and tan, smooth coat
  • Not neutered

Hulk is a sweet and affectionate boy, who loves cuddles with his trusted humans. He is being rehomed due to him biting a young child. This happened while Hulk was in his crate with a chew and the child put their hand through the bars on the crate.

Hulk is reactive to strangers within the home and for this reason we are looking for a quiet adult only home with minimal visitors who are able to provide him with ongoing training and to build his confidence. He has bitten strangers within the home on 2 occasions, but this was over 2 years ago.  His owners have been working with a behaviourist and Hulk is muzzle trained and happy to wear his muzzle when there are strangers in the house. 

Hulk really loves his walks and is happy to sniff humans and dogs as he walks by. He has previously lived with other dachshunds with no issue and his owner feels he would thrive in a home with another dachshund. He loves to be in the garden and generally doesn’t bark when he is out there, although he is a dachshund so there is always the occasional woof.

Hulk is crate trained and will happily sleep in his crate with plenty of blankets, he currently sleeps in his crate in the office overnight, but also loves to have snuggles in his human’s bed.

He can be left alone comfortably for up to 4 hours and travels well in the car.

Requirements in a home:

  • Adult only (no visiting children)
  • Can live with other dachshunds (preferably neutered and calm females)
  • Quiet life, with minimal visitors
  • Willing and able to work with The Red Foundation behaviour team
  • No cats

If you are able to move at pace and offer Hulk a home please contact [email protected]

Winnie

  • County Durham
  • One year 4 months 
  • Female, standard dachshund crossed cockapoo (11kg)
  • Black and Tan
  • Not neutered
  • Adoption fee is £400

Winnie is a sweet, affectionate, cuddly girl looking for her forever home! This lovable girl adores nothing more than curling up on a warm lap for strokes and snuggles. She’s searching for a patient and loving adopter through no fault of her own.

Winnie currently lives happily with other dogs, but she can be nervous around unfamiliar dogs outside the home. If you have resident dogs, slow and calm introductions will be key to helping her settle.

She can be left alone for short periods (up to an hour), but longer absences may lead to destructive behaviour. With time, training, and guidance—which we’re happy to provide—this is something that can be improved.

Winnie can be shy around new people, so she’ll need a calm and understanding home where she can build confidence at her own pace. Once she feels safe, she will shower you with love and loyalty. Given the right environment, Winnie has the potential to be a fantastic family companion. Could you be the one to give this special girl the happy home she deserves?

Requirements in a home:

  • A patient and calm home
  • No cats
  • Can live with other dogs after slow introductions (males would need to be neutered)
  • Can live with calm, dog savvy children age 7+
  • A home that has the time to provide the necessary training and enrichment for a young dog

If you think you could be the one to help Winnie feel safe and loved, we’d love to hear from you! Please send an email to [email protected].

Frank

  • Saltney (North West)
  • 4 years old
  • Male, standard dachshund
  • Black & Tan smooth with grey flecks
  • £450 adoption fee

Frank is described by his owners as being a lovely dog who is very affectionate but an anxious boy and scared of the world around him. 

He is a sensitive soul and is looking for a new home through no fault of his own. Due to his anxieties and the fact that with a new baby in the home the family feel he would be so much happier somewhere that has the time he needs to make him feel safe and confident.

Frank needs a patient owner who has time to build up his confidence to make him realise the world isn’t such a scary place. We feel that Frank may benefit from having a fur friend to help bring him out of his shell. He will definitely need lots of patience and dedication, but we know in return he will give lots of love and snuggles. We will of course provide new owners with all behavioural support in order to help him. 

Frank currently lives with a child, but is struggling with the busy household due to this. He certainly has the drive to learn new things and be trained, but his current owners feel he cannot thrive in their home and are struggling with time to put into his training.

Frank is housetrained, crate trained and can be left up to four hours. He also doesn’t mind a car journey but isn’t a fan of cats.

Requirements in a home:

  • A loving, calm and peaceful home
  • Someone who is willing to work with Franks anxiety
  • Older dog savvy children may be possible 
  • He can live with another dog after successful meetings
  • No cats

Could you be the home Frank needs? If you can offer Frank a loving forever home, please send an email to [email protected]

Milo is a lovely little boy who with the right training will make a beautiful addition to someone’s life. All behavioural support will be provided by The Red Foundation.

Pablo

  • Liverpool
  • 3yrs 11mths
  • Male, Miniature 
  • Black and Tan, Smooth coat
  • Not neutered
  • Adoption fee is £450

Pablo is a sweet and loving young dachshund who is looking for an experienced owner. 

Sadly, Pablo had to go through every daxie’s worst nightmare – IVDD. However, after having successful surgery he is now back up and running, although Pablo’s gait has never quite fully recovered and this is something his new adoptive home will have to be mindful of. Pablo did have an incident where he bit his owner, this was just before his diagnosis of IVDD and is believed to be due to the pain he was in. However, due to this incident Pablo cannot live with children. 

Since Pablo’s recovery of IVDD, he is now fighting with the other dogs in his home, due to this Pablo cannot live in a home with other dogs. Pablo also has some resource guarding behaviour, this will have to continue being managed by his adopters. Any behavioural support needed will be provided by The Red Foundation. 

Pablo’s owner describes him as a sweet boy who can be shy when meeting new people. He loves strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and a piece of toast as a treat. He also loves to play with toys and a ball. 

Pablo is house trained, crate trained and doesn’t mind a car journey as long as he is reassured. He also doesn’t mind being left for up to 4 hours.

He is fine with other dogs out on walks and would be a loyal companion to any owner willing to take a chance on him. 

Requirements in a home

  • Calm and loving adult only home
  • No dogs or cats
  • No children
  • Can be left for up to 4 hours.

If you think Pablo could be the companion you’ve been searching for, please email [email protected]

Dolly

  • Preston
  • 3 years old
  • Female, standard
  • Black & tan, smooth 
  • Not neutered

Dolly is a super-smart and active young dog who wants purpose as well as her
people! She is very responsive to training and we feel that she could shine at
agility or scent-work once she has settled into her family.

Dolly currently lives in a busy family home with another dog and this is
overwhelming her. Dolly is a sensitive girl who can be reactive to strangers
and dogs, especially when she feels unsure. She is very barky when meeting
new people and will need a few slow, positive introductions with any potential
adopter to ensure the adoption is a success.

In a one-off incident over a year ago, she nipped a visiting teenager – no blood was drawn, but it highlights that she needs a calm, consistent environment without children or frequent visitors. She also has a difficult relationship with the other family dog that has resulted in fights, so she needs a pet free home. The Red Foundation will provide behaviourist support to address both these issues and we are also looking for a home with no children or visiting children.

For the right person—someone patient, experienced (or prepared to learn)
and ready to move at her pace—Dolly will be a devoted and rewarding
companion. She’s looking for a quiet home, structured routine, and someone
who appreciates just how clever and special she is.

Dolly is crate-trained and house-trained. She is a sweet girl who can be left
occasionally for up to 4 hours, once she is settled.

Requirements in a home:

  • No children or visiting children
  • No other pets
  • A family who will work with our behaviourist
  • A private garden she can explore and play in
  • A home where she is not left for long periods of time

Salami

  • Liverpool
  • 9 years old
  • Male, miniature dachshund
  • Black & tan, smooth coat
  • Neutered
  • Adoption fee is £250

Salami (Sal) is a gentle, easy-going boy with a big heart and a love for the simple things in life: cuddles with his humans, tasty treats, and snuggling into soft blankets. True to his dachshund roots, he’s loyal, clever, and full of character.

Three years ago, Sal underwent surgery for IVDD which has affected his mobility and left him doubly incontinent. Despite this, he remains a happy little guy who still enjoys short walks and exploring the garden—grass is his favourite surface! Indoors, he gets around independently and will commando crawl on slippery surfaces – he’s even been known to surprise his family with a speedy dash when he spots a pigeon outside.

Sal currently lives with young children and is used to the hustle and bustle of family life. However, his family feel that Sal would thrive in a quieter home with someone who has more time to support him. The Red Foundation is committed to providing ongoing support for his condition to help him continue living life to the fullest.

Sal could potentially live with a calm, friendly dog following a successful introduction. Sal gets along well with sensible children and adores attention from his trusted people. Like many dachshunds, he has a big bark and can be vocal around strangers and unfamiliar visitors, but overall, he’s a relaxed and affectionate companion.  He sleeps in his own bed in the bedroom.  Once settled, he can occasionally be left for short periods of time (up to 4 hours) in his crate.

Sal is looking for a special someone with a big heart and a quiet, loving home (and a garden) where he can continue his recovery with comfort and care. 

Requirements in a home:

  • Could live with another dog, subject to a successful meet
  • Someone who has the time to manage his IVDD
  • Sensible children
  • No cats`

Pablo and Miguel

  • Pontefract
  • Adoption fee for both dogs is £850

Pablo

  • 2years 7months 
  • Male, miniature dachshund
  • Chocolate and tan smooth coat

  • Not Neutered

Miguel

  • 1year 6months
  • Male, miniature dachshund
  • Chocolate and tan smooth coat
  • Not Neutered

Pablo and Miguel are a father and son duo who are sadly looking for a new forever home due to a change in their owners’ circumstances where the boys are being left for longer periods of time. 

Pablo is the chilled one of the two, he loves plenty of naps and a good cuddle. Miguel is the more energetic pup, he’s very playful and loves to be active outside but also enjoys a good cuddle after a long day. 

The boys do currently live with children and are great with kids, however; they can resource guard certain items therefore we think the boys would be best suited to live with children over 7 who understand this and won’t try to take things from them without exchange. 

Both boys are crate trained and house trained with very few accidents, they can also be left for up to 4 hours. The boys are both friendly although the same as most dachshunds they can be barky when meeting new people and dogs, they usually calm down once someone says hello and gives them some fuss.

This little dynamic duo are sweet, loving and full of character who will make a lovely addition to any family household. 

Requirements in the home:

  • Adult only or family home with children over 7 years old
  • Can live with dogs after successful meetings
  • Cannot live with cats

If you think you’ve got space on your sofa for this duo, please email [email protected]

  • Liverpool
  • 4years old
  • Female, miniature (6kg)
  • Red, Smooth coat
  • Neutered

Coco is a sweet and loving young dachshund who is looking for a new home due to a change of circumstances. She’s very affectionate and loves attention. She absolutely loves cuddling up to

people on the sofa. She’s very playful if people want to play with her but equally she’s happy snoozing in her basket all day, and while she enjoys going out for walks, she is just as happy to have a lazy day on the sofa with her favourite human. 

Unfortunately, Coco is a typical lockdown dog and now suffers from separation anxiety and will bark continually when left. Because of this; we feel it best Coco is in a home where her owners are home most of the time or are happy to take her with them. Coco currently lives with a resident cat and older children. She can be snappy around food therefore she cannot live with young children.

Coco also had an incident where she injured her back but with some rest she fully recovered from this and has not had a repeat episode since. 

Coco is a friendly, affectionate, sweet and loving girl that will be a joy to have in any home. 

Requirements in a home:

  • Someone who is home most of the time.
  • Children 15+
  • Can live with cats or/and another dog of similar age/temperament

If you think Coco could be the companion you’ve been searching for, please email [email protected]
