Django and Nala – bonded pair

LOWESTOFT

Adoption fee for Django and Nala is £650

Django and Nala are a bonded pair who are being rehomed as unfortunately Django bit the owners 22 month old child when the child accidently pressed down on his belly. This has never happened before as Django is not an aggressive dog however as the family are expecting another baby shortly, they feel they can’t risk it happening again.

 

 

Django

  • 3 years old
  • Male, standard, red, smooth
  • Neutered

Django is described by his owner as a good dog who can be playful and loves his walks with his sister Nala. Django gets on well with other dogs, especially his sister, he is housetrained and can be left for up to 4 hours. He does not like cats.

Nala

  • 3 years old
  • Female, standard, red, smooth
  • Neutered

Nala is a shy nervous dog at first but she’s full of love and cheekiness and has a sweet personality once she gets to know you. 

Nala doesn’t really like other dogs and will bark when she sees them whilst out walking. For this reason, we feel a home without other dogs would be ideal. Nala is housetrained and can be left for up to 4 hours, she is okay in the car but can get a little nervous. She does not like cats.

Requirements in a home for Django and Nala

  • Adult only
  • No young children (dog savvy 14+ who will give them space)
  • No other dogs
  • No cats
  • Gentle walks

George

  • KENT
  • 6 years old
  • Brindle, tweenie (just under 10kg)
  • Male – neutered
  • Adoption fee £250

We are looking for a forever home for George. George is a very sweet loving boy and loves cuddles and fuss and being with those he loves and trusts. 

George is being surrendered as unfortunately he is struggling with small children in the house, this is causing him to be anxious and has resulted in a bite to one of them.  

George can be nervous of strangers to the house and this does need to be managed. If the strangers come in and sit still and ignore him he does come around after a while. Once he has met someone a couple of times he is excited and happy to see them like an old friend. 

George is currently an only dog and is reactive to other dogs, depending on breed, on a walk which he can display by barking and portraying aggressive behaviours however this is due to his anxiety and we are happy to provide behaviour support for this. 

George is happy to be left for a few hours at a time, he is crate trained and currently sleeps in his crate at night in the kitchen. He knows his name and will respond to basic commands. 

George has had two previous bouts of IVDD, which he continues to recover from and improve his strength however his walk can be wobbly at times. 

George is looking for a quieter life as an only dog in a home with few or regular visitors and no children. 

Requirements in a home:

  • No Children
  • No other pets
  • Short walks
  • Minimal visitors 

If you feel you can give George a home you must be registered with us and able to travel to the areas to meet. Please email [email protected]

Zeebo

  • Exeter
  • 4 Years Old
  • Male – Neutered
  • Red Smooth Haired Standard Dachshund
  • Adoption fee is £350

Zeebo is a sweet boy whose favourite pastimes include lounging in the sun, relishing sardines, playing with his toys at home and chasing after squirrels in the garden. His affectionate and loving nature blossoms with those he knows and trusts. Although initially cautious with new people Zeebo is able to trust new people quite quickly. In the summer months he just loves to be out in the sunshine all day long and even has to wear doggy sunscreen due to how long he spends out there!

Zeebo is being surrendered due to the fact that his anxieties have become worse since having a new baby in the family. He has become more reactive and has bitten a workman who entered the home whilst he was eating his breakfast, the situation wasn’t managed and although the bite wasn’t serious, the family feel he would be better in a home without children and without too many visitors. 

Zeebo currently lives with another dog and has a nice bond with the other dog in the home, however both dogs are anxious, which isn’t helping either of them. He could live with another dog pending slow and patient introductions but we feel he would prefer to be the only pet and have doggy friends to meet up with.

When out on walks Zeebo can sometimes struggle with anxiety when seeing other dogs and people. He reacts by barking at them. This is being managed well and only happens on a few occasions now instead of at every dog! He will happily walk away and continue on his walk afterwards. Zeebo has been working with a behaviourist on this and has made lots of amazing progress.

He currently lives with a cat and gets along with the cat. They even sleep on the same sofa sometimes. When he is in a playful mood he can chase the cat occasionally just to try and play. Zeebo could live with another cat that is comfortable with this and is a laid back cat that has previously lived with dogs.

As most dachshunds do he will bark when the doorbell rings. He is a very clever boy and knows lots of commands and tricks such as sit, paw, down, paws up and many more!

He sleeps in his bed overnight with no issues and can be left alone for 2 – 3 hours without issues. He will bark once he hears you are home as he is just so excited that his family are home to see him. Zeebo is very good with his toilet training and has no accidents indoors. 

Requirements in a home:

  • A quiet and patient home
  • He can live with older children that are comfortable and confident around dogs
  • His ideal home would be where he is the only pet and he saw doggy friends on walks. He could live with a confident dog pending slow introductions
  • Zeebo can live with a cat that is laid back and comfortable around dogs
  • Quiet location or somewhere that he can be walked without many dogs
  • Someone who is patient and happy to continue working on his anxiety with support through a behaviourist (we are able to provide this behaviour support)
  • Someone happy to meet Zeebo 3+ times before adopting him to ensure a smooth transition into his new home

If you are interested in providing Zeebo with his forever home, please email [email protected]

Lace and Molly – bonded pair

  • Richmond, Surrey
  • Adoption fee for the pair is £500

Lace and Molly are a delightful mother-daughter pair currently seeking their forever home.

Lace and Molly’s journey began when their original owner’s health struggles led them to be rehomed. They are currently in foster care and are looking to move to their forever home. Whilst in foster home Molly sadly suffered with IVDD and was put on strict crate rest. This was some weeks back now and she’s making an amazing recovery; up and enjoying short walks and going from strength to strength.  Lace and Molly need a calm and less busy environment than where they are at the moment, preferably somewhere rural or semi rural and with someone who can be home with them most of the time.  

Lace 

  • Female
  • 10 years old
  • Shaded Red
  • Neutered 

Lace is a sensitive lady who can initially cower when meeting new people, she has never shown aggression, and once she is comfortable she is very friendly. Sudden noises can startle Lace and she also has a tendency to bark when she is left on her own, so we are looking for a home where she would not be left for long periods of time. Lace is house trained, crate trained and fine in the car. 

Molly

  • Female
  • 6 years old
  • Shaded Red 
  • Not Neutered

Molly is a very friendly lady and will push herself forward to be made a fuss of. She is crate trained and as mentioned above she is still recovering from IVDD but doing really well. She is housetrained, crate trained and doesnt mind a car journey. 

Home requirements for Lace & Molly 

  • Calm, caring and loving home, someone who will commit to giving them time to settle 
  • Adult only home ideally as they have never lived with children although they have been around children recently and were fine so perhaps a home with visiting children would be okay but with slow introductions and strict management 
  • Used to living with other older dachshunds 
  • Not cat tested
  • A home where they are not left for long periods of time

Can you give Lace and Molly the chance to thrive in a loving and supportive forever home. Please email [email protected]

Poppy

  • Dorset
  • 2yrs 9 mths
  • Female, tweenie (7.9kg)
  • Light brown, smooth
  • Neutered
  • Adoption fee is £350

Poppy is being surrendered as a deterioration in her owner’s health means she is no longer able to give her the care and attention that she needs and is unable to walk her. She is being walked twice a week with a dog walker and enjoys off lead adventures and loves water. This isn’t enough for Poppy however and her lack of physical and mental stimulation is affecting her behaviour and she’s started to chew things when she gets the opportunity.

Poppy is described by her owner, however, as a gentle dog with lots of love to give. She has loads of energy, walks with five other dogs who she gets on fine with however can bark at stranger dogs she meets along the way. 

Poppy hasn’t been around children at all so she would need slow and gentle introductions before being homed with kids. We feel a slightly older age, maybe 10+ who will allow her to settle into the home and give her the space she needs. Poppy is currently an only dog but gets on well with her dog walking pals so we feel with successful meetings, she would be fine with other dogs. 

Poppy is crate trained and has only ever been left for up to two hours tucked up in her crate. She also enjoys a car journey and is house trained. 

Requirements in a home:

  • Active home with lots of free time to give Poppy attention
  • Someone at home most of the time
  • Other dogs are fine but will need slow introductions
  • Children age 10+ who can give Poppy space
  • No cats

Freddie 

  • Middlesex
  • 5 years old
  • Male, tweenie
  • Blue and tan, smooth 
  • Neutered
  • Adoption fee £250

Freddie is looking for his forever home. He is being surrendered as unfortunately he is struggling with the addition of several grandchildren into the house on a daily basis, which is causing him anxiety and, although he has not bitten, the owner feels there is a potential to bite one of the grandchildren due to the stress Freddie experiences when they are chasing him. Unfortunately, this stress is also worsening Freddie’s hair loss symptoms. The owner feels the best future for Freddie would be as part of a family without young children. Freddie is only reactive to children when chased by them and is not reactive when he approaches children on his own terms in the house or sees children in the park. Any interaction with children needs to be calm and on his terms.

Freddie is a loving, energetic and playful boy who loves nothing more than going out for walks with his family and being close to those he loves and trusts. 

Freddie experiences some anxiety on a walk due to being attacked by a much larger dog a couple of years ago and this has shaken his confidence so he will need a patient owner who is willing to work through his anxiety with him. The owner feels there is a potential for Freddie to bite another dog on a walk in fear if approached in a way which scares him. Freddie is currently being walked 3 times a week for about 30 minutes but as he is an energetic boy, we feel that more exercise would be beneficial and may help to manage his anxiety.

He is house trained and can be left for up to 4 hours,  although it would be preferable for Freddie to have an owner who is at home with him more as he is a clever lad with a lot of love to give. He is very playful and  loves his toys and a puzzle treat. He currently lives with teenage children and sleeps in the owner’s son’s bedroom. We feel a home with children of a similar age would be fine.

Freddie is scared of going to the vets but just shuts down in fear and is not aggressive at the vets. 

Freddie is a loving and playful boy looking for a patient, calm owner who would love taking him on long walks, playing with him and helping him move past his anxiety issues in a calm and confident way. Other than his alopecia, Freddie does not have any health issues but would be looking for an owner who can help him manage this condition permanently. The Red Foundation will support his new home in managing his condition.

Requirements in a home:

  • Calm, sensible children with experience of dogs aged 12+
  • Preferably no other pets but may be suitable to live with other small dogs following a successful meeting
  • Patient, calm owner with experience of dealing with anxiety in dogs
  • Owner who is at home quite a lot

If you feel you can give Freddie a home, please contact [email protected]

Archie

  • Somerset
  • 8 years old
  • Male, miniature
  • Silver dapple, smooth
  • Neutered
  • Adoption fee for Archie is £250 

Archie is being rehomed as he is an older dog who is not enjoying life with a young child in the home – he is becoming increasingly stressed and unhappy which is causing him to bark. 

Archie is described by his owner as a dog who loves a good snuggle on the sofa and enjoys chase with a squeaky ball in the garden.  He is housetrained and can be left for up to 4 hours when he will usually take himself off to burrow under a blanket on the sofa.  He is not crate trained but loves a car journey. He does not like cats.

Archie is currently an only dog and avoids and barks at other dogs outside of the house, he is consequently walked on the lead, but he is highly food motivated and can be distracted when necessary – for this reason we feel a house without other dogs would be best. 

Archie lives with well-controlled hip dysplasia and metal plates in his spine after a road-traffic accident as a young dog which requires ongoing pain medication. He has bitten once, four years ago, as a result of his owner trying to move him during an extreme pain flare-up. Continued support will be provided by The Red Foundation.

Requirements in a home for Archie

  • Adult only
  • No children
  • No other dogs
  • No cats
  • Gentle walks
