How do I contact the shelter about Arthur?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. The Red Foundation handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Arthur on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Arthur if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — The Red Foundation will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Arthur already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.

What happens if Arthur isn't the right fit?

Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with The Red Foundation early rather than rehoming privately; they know Arthur and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Arthur

Male · Young · 2 years

Arthur Macclesfield Adoption fee is £350 4 1/2 years old Male, mini dachshund (5.5kg) Red, smooth coat Neutered Arthur is a gorgeous little dog who loves quiet walks, exploring the garden and a cuddle with his humans. He is looking for a calm new home with someone who can give him the time and attention he needs and who is prepared to invest time and patience into helping him settle. He is an anxious boy and although his current family love him just as he is, he is also living with another anxious dachshund who is recovering from IVDD. The other boy is now no longer the active playmate he once was and this has led to increased stress for both dogs and one or two fights. Arthur is a sensitive and smart boy who will benefit from a regular routine and a quiet home where there are clear boundaries. He can currently be left in the morning for up to 4 hours, but if left in the afternoon he will howl and be unsettled. His new family will need to be prepared to work with him so he can learn that time apart is OK. Arthur can resource guard toys and long-lasting chews and this will need to be managed if he moves to a home with another dog. We will provide behaviourist support if needed, to help ensure he can move successfully into his next, forever, home. Outside the home, Arthur walks nicely on lead and is keen to get out and enjoy walks. He is scared of strangers and dogs he doesn’t know and will bark and lunge at them. This is worse when he walks with the other resident dog, as the other dog is also not a fan of new people. His new family should expect to meet him a couple of times and to be comfortable going at a slow pace to ensure a successful move. Arthur is looking for a calm environment with a family that is home most of the time. He is an intelligent boy who is looking for someone who can provide the stimulation and training that he needs to live his best life. Arthur is in good health. He is allergic to dust and horses and this is managed through bathing and seasonal medication as needed. He is also on anti-anxiety medication and The Red Foundation will pay for the ongoing medical costs relating to this. Arthur is house-trained and travels well in the car. He currently sleeps in the bed with his owner.

About Arthur

What life with Arthur looks like

Arthur is a young adult dog waiting at The Red Foundation in Pentlow Street.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.
