Twiggy
- West London
- 2 years old
- Female, miniature dachshund
- Black and tan, smooth haired
- Not neutered
Twiggy is described as a sweet and loving girl who enjoys spending time and playing with her humans.She is being rehomed as her owners feel that they are unable to meet her needs.
Twiggy currently lives with another dachshund however she has recently started some arguments with the other dog when toys or chews are involved. She may be able to live with another dachshund but slow and gentle introductions would be required.
Twiggy can be reactive to people and other dogs on walks, although the current owners have worked with a trainer and she has greatly improved when passing humans, she still struggles passing other dogs. She will also react to strangers inside the house, but will settle after a period of barking.
Twiggy has never lived with children, however we feel that she could be rehomed to a family with dog savvy children aged 12+ who know and understand when to give a dog space. She can be left alone for up to 4 hours with the other dachshund and is fine with this, but has become hyper attached to one of her humans if she is at home. At night, Twiggy currently sleeps on her owner’s bed.
Her owners feel that she will make an amazing companion and will absolutely thrive in a home that is able to offer her structure and continue with her training journey.
Requirements in a home
- Children 12+ who know when to give a dog space
- Calm rural or semi-rural home
- Potential to live with a calm resident dachshund (males must be neutered), or as an only dog
- Adoption fee for Twiggy is £450
If you are able to offer Twiggy a home, please contact sarah@theredfoundation.net
Tallulah and Delilah – Bonded Pair
- South London
- 3 years old
- Female, miniature dachshund
- Black & Tan, smooth coat
- Not neutered
- Adoption fee is £850
Tallulah and Delilah are being rehomed after being found near a dog walking field in December 2024. The dog warden checked their micro chips and contacted their previous owner but they didn’t respond. They have been staying with a lovely couple who are dog walkers however they already have 3 adopted dogs so need to find forever homes for this lovely pair.
Tallulah and Delilah can be left for up to 4 hours and will happily sleep downstairs in the dog pen or on the sofa. Neither dog has been seen to resource guard and they get on well with the other dogs in the home after working out their pack hierarchy. They sleep in a crate together at night.
They are both lovable little dogs who are happy to cuddle up on the sofa with their humans and the other dogs in their temporary home. They have lived with a confident Cat, one who won’t run away. They’re affectionate and friendly with visitors, although they will greet them with a classic dachshund-style welcome! They will continue to flourish in a happy loving home. They enjoy walks but equally enjoy a lazy day on the sofa having lots of cuddles. Both dogs have had experience with children aged 3 and 10 years old since December and played happily.
Requirements in a home:
- Adult only or maybe a family with children
- A dog savvy cat
- They can live with other dogs
- Someone happy to continue with training

Frankie
- West Sussex
- 3yrs 11mths
- Standard Dachshund / Beagle, 8.5kg
- Black and Tan, Smooth Coat
- Neutered
- Adoption fee £300
Frankie is a loving and affectionate dog to those he knows and trusts, a typical dachshund who loves to un-stuff his toys and follow his favourite human around the house. Sadly, he is being surrendered due to various behavioural changes which occurred after an incident in 2022. Poor Frankie got stuck in a badger’s den for over 30 minutes, and since then, his behaviour has not been quite the same and his owners have been finding it hard to manage along with a young family.
Frankie can be unpredictable with strangers and other dogs, he has bitten strangers outside of the home so he now has to be muzzled when walking outside. He will resource guard certain items, such as high value treats and clothing, but this has been managed.
Frankie also suffers from separation anxiety and doesn’t like to be left, he will therefore need a home where someone is there most of the time or is willing to work through these anxieties.
Frankie lives with children but due to his bite history we feel a calmer, adult only home would be more suitable. He is housetrained but will sometimes have accidents in the house when he is left, he is crate trained and doesn’t mind a car journey.
Due to Frankie’s behaviours, we feel its best Frankie is homed with an experienced owner who is willing to advocate for him. Someone who is willing to work with us on his behavioural issues to take advice and won’t give up on him at the first sign of trouble but has the time and patience to put in the training he needs.
With the right owner, training and time, he has the potential to be a happy, well-mannered dachshund and best friend for life. All behavioural support will be provided by The Red Foundation.
Requirements in a home –
- Calm, loving adult home with minimal visitors
- Someone who is home most of the time
- No dogs or cats
- Someone who is willing to commit to Frankie and provide the support that he needs
If you think you have the time, patience and experience that Frankie needs, please email rosie@theredfoundation.net
Winston – potential home found
- East Sussex
- 18 months old
- Male, tweenie (around 8kg), smooth, black and tan
- Not neutered
- Adoption fee is £450
Winston is a gorgeous, playful boy looking for a new home where he can get the time and attention he needs. He loves meeting other dogs, which is why his current family feel he would be happier in a home with another dog. He’s good with children and loves being part of the action. He enjoys training and is quick to pick up new things – he’s smart, eager to please, and enjoys mental stimulation as much as physical play.
Winston is crate-trained, house-trained, and comfortable being left alone for 3-4 hours (once he has settled). A typical dachshund, he likes the sound of his own voice and can bark at unfamiliar sounds at home and in the garden. He can be very excitable when meeting people for the first time, not wanting to leave them alone, so first meets need to be short until he has had a chance to get to know the new person better.
Winston is ready to find a calm and patient home where he can relax, play, and soak up all the love he deserves. In great health, Winston is waiting for that special family who can give him the companionship, and fun he needs in order to truly thrive.
Requirements in a home for Winston
- Could potentially live with another calm dog, subject to a successful meeting (any female dogs must be spayed).
- Sensible children aged 7 and over
- A home where he is not left for long periods of time
- Not cat-tested
To find out more about Winston please email kate@theredfoundation.net
Alfie
- Wiltshire
- 7 year 7 months old
- Male, standard dachshund (12.5 kg)
- Black and tan, smooth coat
- Neutered
- Adoption Fee £250
Alfie is a sweet, affectionate boy who’s looking for a new home through no fault of his own. With a new baby in the home, his family feels that Alfie would be much happier in a quieter environment where he can receive the time, attention, and reassurance he needs to feel confident and secure.
Alfie can be a little unsure when new people first enter the home, but once he gets to know you, he relaxes, loves to play, and is always up for a cuddle. He’s muzzle trained and wears it comfortably when visiting the vet, as vet trips aren’t his favourite thing.
Alfie loves his walks and enjoys taking in the world around him. He can be strong on the lead and may pull, so he’ll benefit from someone comfortable with handling a powerful little dog. He’s curious about people and dogs he passes, but may react to some. Although he hasn’t lived with other dogs, he’s had visiting doggy friends and loved playing with them. His owner believes he’d do well with a calm, friendly canine companion.
Like most Dachshunds, Alfie enjoys relaxing in the garden and soaking up the sunshine. He’s crate trained, sleeps happily with a cosy pile of blankets, and won’t say no to snuggles in bed if invited! He’s housetrained, travels well in the car, and can be left alone for up to four hours. Alfie isn’t a fan of cats.
His ideal home would be adult only or with older, dog-savvy teens who understand his need for space at times. With the right people, Alfie will thrive, he just needs patience, love, and someone to help him feel safe.
If you think you could offer Alfie a calm home and a cosy spot on your sofa, we’d love to hear from you.
If needed, behaviour support and guidance will be provided by The Red Foundation.
Requirements in a home:
- Adult only or family with older teenagers
- Quiet life with minimal visitors at first
- Can live with other dachshunds/dogs following successful meetings
- No cats
If you would like to offer Alfie a home please contact jane@theredfoundation.net
Penny
- Warwickshire
- Female, 4 years 3 months
- Black and Silver Dapple, Smooth Coat
- Neutered
- Adoption fee is £350
Penny has sadly come into rescue due to change of circumstances.
She is a sweet, nervous girl who will need a calm and quiet home with lots of patience to help her settle into her new life.
Penny is crate trained and fully house strained, She is also happy to be left for up to 4 hours per day. Because of Penny’s anxiety we feel she would benefit from a calm, confident, well mannered resident fur-sibling to help build her confidence and help her navigate what feels like a scary world.
Penny struggles with new people coming into the home, because of this we believe Penny would thrive in a calm and quiet environment. She does go to doggy daycare and happily plays with other daxies while there.
Once she is comfortable Penny is very much a lap dog who loves a cuddle and will be her favourite person’s little shadow.
Penny does resource guard high value treats however this has been managed.
All behavioural support needed for Penny to settle into her new home and live a happy life will be provided by The Red Foundation.
Requirements in a home –
- Calm and quiet home with minimal visitors
- Could live with another dog pending successful meetings
- No children
- No cats
