Frankie & Bentley – Bonded Pair

Male · Senior · 9 years

Bentley and Frankie ESSEX Adoption fee for Bentley and Frankie is £450 BENTLEY 9 years old Male, standard, smooth, black and tan Neutered FRANKIE 8 years old Male, standard, smooth, red Neutered Bentley and Frankie are a bonded pair of dachshunds looking for a new home because their owners can see that they would be happier in another home where they can be given the time and attention they deserve. They are a friendly and easy-going couple who are looking for a comfy sofa to snooze on, some interesting walks and lots of cuddles. Bentley and Frankie are a sweet-natured pair who love their family and are good with people, children and other dogs. Frankie is the more confident of the two and will accept cuddles from anyone. Bentley takes a bit of time to get to know you, but once he accepts you, you will have a friend for life! Both dogs walk nicely on and off the lead outside the house and enjoy nothing more than a good sniff and explore. Bentley loves his stuffed toys, especially their ears while Frankie enjoys nothing more than playing tug of war with his rope toys. Inside the house, both dogs are house-trained and sleep together in a crate. Frankie is fed separately from the other dogs in the house as he does not like to be disturbed when eating by the other dogs, but this is straightforward to manage. The dogs are used to being left on their own for periods of time (up to 4 hours), although Bentley will be on the look-out for any potential intruders and have a good bark if needs be. Both dogs are in good health for their age. Bentley has a cyst in one eye which his vet is happy to monitor. Frankie is allergic to chicken and grass and this is well managed through diet and bathing. The Red Foundation will discuss these pre-existing conditions with potential adopters. This pair love each other dearly and would make a wonderful, ready-made dog family for their next, forever family. Requirements in a home for Bentley and Frankie No cats Could potentially live with other dogs, subject to a successful meeting Could live with sensible children 10+ To find out more about Bentley and Frankie please email

About Frankie & Bentley – Bonded Pair

What life with Frankie & Bentley – Bonded Pair looks like

Frankie & Bentley – Bonded Pair is a senior 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 Frankie & Bentley – Bonded Pair, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Frankie & Bentley – Bonded Pair?
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 Frankie & Bentley – Bonded Pair on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Frankie & Bentley – Bonded Pair 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 Frankie & Bentley – Bonded Pair 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 Frankie & Bentley – Bonded Pair 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 Frankie & Bentley – Bonded Pair 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.
