Henry

Male · Young · 2 years

Henry – Berkshire Adoption fee £350 2years 11months Silver Dapple Smooth Haired Tweenie Male, Neutered If you are looking for a loyal, clever companion with a heart full of love, Henry might just be your perfect match. This handsome little dachshund absolutely adores his humans, and there is nothing he loves more than being snuggled up in a cosy blanket, enjoying a good cuddle with his favourite people. He is also incredibly intelligent, always keen to learn new tricks, and possesses a playful spirit that makes him a joy to have around. However, Henry’s journey before arriving at his fourth home has left him with some emotional baggage. He has some trauma in his past, particularly involving men, which means he needs an experienced, patient owner who can offer a predictable, calm environment. When he is tired, Henry can display resource guarding behaviours, which might involve protecting high-value items or guarding a preferred female owner from males. While he has nipped in the past, he is excellent at communicating his boundaries and always gives clear warnings, such as growling. His current owners have successfully managed this using positive trade-up techniques and careful boundary setting. Henry also experiences fear reactivity towards male dogs, but he is completely social and happy around females. In fact, he would thrive best with a confident female canine friend in the home to help build his confidence and guide him through life. With plenty of positive reinforcement, reassurance, and a structured routine, Henry has so much potential to blossom. He is looking for a patient, understanding new best friend who can see past his insecurities and give him the secure, loving forever home he truly deserves. Any behavioural support needed to make sure Henry thrives will be provided by The Red Foundation.

About Henry

What life with Henry looks like

Henry 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 Henry, answered.

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