Bodhi

Dachshund · Male · Adult · 4 years

BODHI Adoption fee is £450 WEST SUSSEX 4 years old Male Shaded-cream, long-haired miniature dachshund Not neutered Bodhi is a gorgeous shaded-cream mini dachshund looking for a home where people have the time and patience to give him the care he deserves. His current owners have made the heart-breaking decision to find him a new home, as they are struggling to manage his separation anxiety. Bodhi is very sweet, clever and sensitive, and forms a strong bond with the people he trusts. Once he feels safe and secure, he is a loving and devoted little companion. Sadly, at the moment he cannot cope with being left alone. He becomes very anxious and will bark, so he needs a family where someone is at home most of the time. His new family will need to be patient and willing to help him build his confidence very slowly, we will give behaviourist support if needed. Outside the home, Bodhi is also a nervous boy who can be reactive towards other dogs and may bark and lunge while on the lead. He can bark at strangers and his new family will need to continue managing this calmly and positively. He has never shown aggression towards people and simply needs to be given the time and space to build trust at his own pace. Bodhi currently lives with both dogs and cats and can get along well with them. However, he can occasionally resource guard food around other dogs. Because of this, and so that his new family can focus fully on helping him feel secure and managing his separation anxiety, Bodhi needs to be the only pet in his new home. Bodhi enjoys his walks, travels well in the car and is crate trained. He is comfortable sleeping in his crate and knows several commands, including “sit”, “touch”, “wait” and “bed”. He loves cuddles and snuggles with his person. Bodhi is in excellent health. Bodhi needs a calm and understanding home where he will be given the time, routine and reassurance he needs. With the right person and the right environment, we believe his sweet and clever personality will shine.

About Bodhi

What life with Bodhi looks like

Bodhi is a adult dachshund dog waiting at The Red Foundation in Pentlow Street.

An 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bodhi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bodhi?
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 Bodhi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bodhi 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 Bodhi 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 Bodhi 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 Bodhi 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.
