Fiadora

Dachshund · Unknown · Senior · 10 years

Feodora (Fia) Surrey Adoption fee – £150 – 10 years old, neutered female – Mini long-haired Dachshund – chocolate dapple Feodora, known as Fia, is a clever, loving girl looking for a new home due to a change in her owner’s personal circumstances and work commitments. She loves companionship, cuddles and being included in family life, forming strong bonds with the people she trusts. At home, Fia enjoys a calm environment where she can relax in her bed and spend time with her people. She is affectionate and has been used to living with a young child, although we are looking for a home with sensible children aged 10 or over. Out on walks, Fia can be vocal on the lead and may bark at other dogs or unfamiliar situations. New environments can leave her feeling anxious and overwhelmed, and we can provide behaviourist support if needed. Fia also gets car sick, which prospective adopters should be aware of. Fia has a history of occasional seizures, typically around once a year. These may be triggered by strong household scents, such as cleaning products or air fresheners. The existing information is that she does not require medication because they are so infrequent, and we will discuss how we will support her health with prospective adopters. She is currently fed a raw diet and likes to choose where she sleeps, depending on how warm or cool it is but mostly sleeps in her own bed. Fia is also crate trained. Fia currently lives with another dog and could share her new home with a suitable dog, subject to a successful meet. She does not like cats, so a cat-free home is required. Requirements in a home: – Commitment to training outside the home – No cats – Could live with another dog, subject to a successful meet – Could live with sensible older children aged 10+ If you think you can offer this lovely girl a forever home, please get in touch with Amber at .

About Fiadora

What life with Fiadora looks like

Fiadora is a senior dachshund dog waiting at The Red Foundation in Pentlow Street.

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 Fiadora, answered.

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