Dogs in the North

Frankfurter (Frank)

  • LANCASHIRE
  • 7yrs 6mths
  • Male, mini
  • Brown dapple, smooth
  • Neutered
  • Adoption fee for Frankfurter is £250

Frank is a timid boy who is easily spooked, he has bitten in the past. His owners have learnt to manage this behaviour but feel that their home is just too busy for him and as they are looking at starting a family, it’s only going to get busier and they feel he would benefit from a calmer, quieter home with less comings and goings. Because Frank has bitten he would not suit a home with children.

He is a loving dog who adores his walks so an active home would be ideal. When he’s out and about or at home with his family around Frank is at his happiest, he really doesn’t like strangers although visitors to the house are ok as long as they ignore him.

Frank isn’t really interested in other dogs whilst out and about and if they come too close he will react so we feel a home without other dogs would be preferred. Frank doesn’t like cats.

Frank is house trained, crate trained, likes to sleep in his own bed in his owners bedroom and can be left up to 4 hours.

Frank’s ideal home would be a quiet, calm, maybe rural or semi rural adult only home, somewhere he could have some nice quiet walks without too many people and other dogs.

Requirements in a home:

  • Calm, quiet adult home
  • Minimal visitors
  • Someone who is home most of the time
  • No other dogs
  • No children
  • No cats

Buddy and Betty – potential home found

Buddy and Betty are currently located in Durham. They are a bonded pair who are sadly needing to be rehomed due to their owners change in circumstances which means that the dogs are currently being left for long periods of time. She feels that she is unable to give them the time and attention that they need and feels they would be much happier and could thrive in another home. Both dogs are house trained, crate trained, don’t mind a car journey but aren’t used to cats. They currently live in a home with children age 6 years + and are generally okay with other dogs but would need a couple of meetings if they are to be homed with other dogs.

The adoption fee for both Buddy and Betty is £750.

Buddy

  • Male, tweenie
  • 3years 6months
  • Black and tan, smooth coat

  • Female, tweenie 
  • 2years 1month
  • Chocolate, smooth coat
  •  Not neutered

Betty is described by her owners as still very puppy-like, loves to play and very hyper at times, loves tummy rubs and snuggling on the sofa and loves playing with soft toys.

Home requirements for Buddy and Betty 

  • Calm, caring and loving home with the energy to keep up with Betty’s playfulness 
  • dog savvy children over 6 yo who can give the dogs space to settle in

Bobby and Lola – bonded pair

Bobby & Lola – bonded pair 

  • Derby 
  • Adoption fee £750

Bobby and Lola are a bonded pair, Bobby is very anxious without Lola and so they have to be rehomed together. They are being rehomed due to the owner’s ill health, which has meant that they aren’t getting the care and attention that they need. 

The dogs are house trained, crate trained, they are fine in the car and are happy to be left for up to 4 hours.

Bobby

  • 4 years old
  • Male
  • Black and Tan, smooth
  • Neutered

Bobby is described as a very laid back and chilled out boy but can get very anxious without Lola. As long as Lola is around he is happy and loves nothing more than snuggling under his blankets. Bobby will bark when people knock the door and may bark at other dogs outside of the house but is timid and will soon settle. 

Lola 

  • 4 years old
  • Female
  • Lilac and Tan, smooth
  • Not Neutered

Lola is described by her owners as a gorgeous, chilled out and a very loving girl. She is attached to Bobby but not as much as he is to her. Lola is currently overweight and will need someone who can help her become more active and get her to a healthy weight. Potential homes will need to agree to have Lola neutered after settling in period which will be covered by The Red Foundation. 

Requirements in a home:

  • Calm, Loving home, that are able to take both Bobby and Lola
  • Dog savvy children who can give them space and time to settle are okay

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]

Dash

  • Cheshire
  • 5 years old
  • Male, Tweenie (7.5kg)
  • Black and Tan, smooth 
  • Neutered
  • Adoption fee is £250

Dash is a loving, playful and cuddly boy who loves to be the centre of attention! Dash is being rehomed due to not getting along with the English Bulldogs that he lives with. Dash also lives with another Dachshund which he does get along with, so there’s the potential for Dash to be homed with another Dachshund. Dash doesn’t like cats.

Dash needs to restart his toilet training as he has started to urinate in the home, it’s possible that this is due to him being territorial with the other dogs. Dash likes to be vocal, particularly when someone is at the door or he can hear people outside, he also barks when he is excited. Dash may bark at other dogs on walks but he hasn’t shown any aggression to any dogs, other than the Bulldogs that he lives with.

Dash enjoys ripping up his toys and is a foodie, he doesn’t turn his nose up at anything. Dash’s special skill is that he absolutely loves the water, and would spend all day in the bath/shower if he could! He is fine in the car but is not crate trained, he can be left for up to 4 hours.

Requirements in a home:  

  • Would prefer to be the only dog in the home but could potentially live with another Dachshund
  • A home where someone is home for the majority of the day
  • Can live with children aged 12+
  • No cats 

If you can provide Dash his forever home, if you have the time and patience to work on his toilet training and barking in and out of the home, please email [email protected].
