Adopt Frankie

Dachshund · Unknown · Adult · 6 years

Frankie – Hull 6years 2months Chocolate and Tan Smooth Coat Standard Dachshund Not Neutered Adoption Fee £350 If you are looking for a loyal companion with a heart of gold, Frankie might be the perfect match for you. This devoted and affectionate boy is searching for a specific type of forever home where he can truly feel secure and understood. Frankie is a dog with an immense capacity for love; he is a champion cuddler who enjoys nothing more than showering his favourite people with licks and affection. While he is always up for an adventure and thoroughly enjoys his daily walks, he is equally happy to embrace his lazy side and lounge around the house for a peaceful afternoon nap. Because Frankie is a sensitive soul who experiences quite a bit of nervousness and anxiety, he requires an adult-only household or a home with children aged 13 and over who can respect and understand a dog’s boundaries. He is a vocal lad who takes his role as a lookout very seriously, frequently barking at strangers, passing cars, or unfamiliar noises outside. This protective streak extends to his walks, where he may bark at other dogs or people from a distance. Because of his reactive nature, Frankie needs to be the only pet in the home, as he struggles to integrate with other dogs. While he may be wary of new faces initially, Frankie settles beautifully once he becomes familiar with someone. He simply needs a patient, calm owner who can provide him with the routine and reassurance he craves. To ensure Frankie and his new family have the best possible start, The Red Foundation will provide ongoing behavioural support if needed. If you have a quiet home and plenty of room on your sofa for a loving, loyal friend, Frankie is ready to offer you a lifetime of devotion. With a little time and a lot of love, this charming boy will prove to be the most rewarding companion you could ask for.

About Frankie

What life with Frankie looks like

Frankie 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 Frankie, answered.

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