Betsy & Tilly

Dachshund · Unknown · Senior · 11 years

** Please note the ‘Contact for Availability’ function is currently not working. Please email the Rescue direct () if you are enquiring about an animal and include the animal’s name ** Meet the absolutely gorgeous Betsy & Tilly, two beautiful neutered females, that have arrived into our care due to a change in their owner’s circumstances. These two little ladies are a bonded pair and have always lived together, so we are looking for a very special home where they can continue their lives side by side. Both girls are incredibly friendly, sweet and loving. They adore being around people and are happiest when they can curl up beside you on the sofa or, even better, claim your knee! Despite being older girls, they still enjoy their walks and walk nicely on the lead. They are dog social and can potentially live with other dogs of a similar size, subject to successful introductions. They may have a little bark back if another dog starts barking at them! They are not looking for a home where they will be expected to walk for hours and hours every day. A few nice walks each day, combined with plenty of love, attention and sofa time, would suit them perfectly. They have been around visiting children and have been fine, but we feel they would be happiest in a home where children visit rather than live with them full time. Once they have settled into their new home, they can be left for sensible periods of time. However, we would prefer someone who can be around for them while they settle in and get used to their new surroundings. They are okay around cats but may bark at them, so any resident cats would need to be confident, dog-savvy cats who are already used to dogs. Both girls travel well in the car. We feel Betsy & Tilly would make wonderful companion dogs and could be a fantastic match for a single person or couple looking for two loving, mature Dachshunds to share their home with. Our adoption fee is £250 per dog. This includes: neutering, vaccinations, microchipping, flea & worm treatment, full veterinary health check, lifetime rescue back-up. Before arranging a visit, we will need to receive and assess our pre-adoption questionnaire and complete our usual checks, including a virtual home check. PLEASE NOTE: We cannot hold dogs for extended periods. Anyone applying must be in a position to adopt within a reasonable timeframe, and we aim to get our dogs settled into their new homes as soon as possible. Betsy & Tilly have spent their lives together – now they just need someone who will love them both for the rest of theirs.

About Betsy & Tilly

What life with Betsy & Tilly looks like

Betsy & Tilly is a senior dachshund dog waiting at Pennine Pen Animal Rescue CIO in United Kingdom.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧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 Betsy & Tilly, answered.

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