Gunner

Male · Young · 2 years

Gunner Aylesbury Adoption fee is £450 2 years old Male, Tweenie dachshund (9.7kg) Blue and Tan, smooth coat Not neutered Gunner is a smart, friendly dog who loves nothing more than a cuddle with his human. He is looking for a new home with someone who can give him the time and attention he needs. His family recently rehomed him privately and have realised that he will be happier in a home where his owner had more time to spend helping him adjust and settle. Gunner is a sensitive boy who will benefit from a regular routine and a quiet home where there are clear boundaries. He is currently unable to be left alone without barking, whining and he is very unsettled, so his new family will need to be prepared to work with him so he can learn that time apart is OK. He has also nipped twice and will occasionally growl if he has a particularly tasty sock – this is likely a result of the disruption he has experienced and we will provide behaviourist support if needed, to help ensure he can move successfully into his next, forever, home. Outside the home, Gunner walks on lead and is keen to get out and enjoy walks. He has not spent much time with other dogs but is happy to meet dogs outside the home, and is always happy to meet new people. Gunner is looking for a calm environment with a family that is home most of the time. He is an intelligent boy who is looking for someone who can provide the stimulation and training that he needs to live his best life. Gunner is in excellent health. He is house-trained and travels well in the car. He currently sleeps in the bed with his owner. This boy has loads of love and cuddles to give to his forever family. Requirements in a home for Gunner A home where someone is around much of the time No cats Older, calm teenagers No dogs unless experienced with potential resource guarding If you are interested in meeting Gunner, please get in touch with Ros at .

About Gunner

What life with Gunner looks like

Gunner is a young adult dog waiting at The Red Foundation in Pentlow Street.

An young 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 Gunner, answered.

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