Dott

Dachshund · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

DOTT Adoption fee is £350 CUMBRIA 4,5 years old Female Black and tan smooth Neutered Dott is a sweet and affectionate girl looking for a calm and understanding home. Sadly, due to ongoing conflict with her litter sister, the girls can no longer safely live together and now need to be rehomed separately. Her family have made the heart-breaking decision to find Dott a home where she can feel secure and thrive as an individual. Dott can be an anxious girl, but once she feels safe, she is a gentle and loving companion. She adores cuddles and belly rubs, and is happiest curled up under a blanket or relaxing in the garden. She forms strong bonds with the people she trusts and will do best with a patient family who allow her to settle at her own pace. Dott can be wary of men and unfamiliar people and may bark until she has had the time to build trust. On walks, she may also bark at unfamiliar dogs. She could potentially live with a calm, confident, older male dog following careful introductions. Dott can currently be left for up to four hours and has free rein of the kitchen and living room. Because she is a sensitive girl, her new family will need to be around more often at first while she settles and slowly builds her confidence and independence. She is happy sleeping either on the sofa or in her own bed. She is in excellent health and simply needs a kind and patient home where she will be given time, reassurance and a calm routine. With the right support, we believe her affectionate and sweet-natured personality will really shine.

About Dott

What life with Dott looks like

Dott 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 Dott, answered.

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