Barbie

Female · Young · 2 years

Barbie is a female Miniature Dachshund Date of birth 17/11/2023 Foster in Durham Wel what can we say about Barbie. She is a small mini with a huge personlity. Barbie knows what Barbie wants. She loves people and will say hello to everyone. Other animals on the other hand must be told who is in charge, she walked into her foster home like a bouncer, which is funny when you see the size of her. Barbie will bark on the lead and take any animla on, however she is in foster with other dogs, cats and rabbits but needs very careful introductions. We are looking for a home for Barbie as an only dog unless it is an experienced home that can handle the introductions properly. She will need reminding about her toilet training to begin with and lots of socialising out and bout when she shuts up enough to listen. Barbie doesn;t like to be alone. Older sensible children only Any resident dogs must be neutered and proof provided from your vet About Us >>

About Barbie

What life with Barbie looks like

Barbie is a extra-large young adult dog waiting at Silver Fox Dog Rescue in United Kingdom.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Barbie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Barbie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Silver Fox Dog Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Barbie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Barbie if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Silver Fox Dog Rescue 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 Barbie 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 Barbie 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 Silver Fox Dog Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Barbie 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.
