Leo

Dachshund · Male · Young · 2 years

Leo arrived due to a relationship breakdown. Leo has lived in a multi-dog household and is good at sharing beds and biscuits with his brothers, he can be a bit barky with other dogs but is not aggressive. He has never lived with a cat or young children and would likely be scared of both. He can be nervous at times out on walks and so a kind and patient adopter would be best. As ever a private and secure garden would be preferred for off leash exercise as his anxiety would make him unsafe to be off lead in a public place at the moment. Dexter, Leo & Theo arrived together, we can rehome as a trio or in a pair and solo or all individually. The brothers are close friends and so none of them will be left behind here at the kennels, the last two will have to go the same day. The rehoming fee is £250. 00 for all dogs. Applications will close once we find a suitable applicant. If you would like to register your interest in adopting a PADS dog, please complete an adoption application.

About Leo

What life with Leo looks like

Leo is a young adult dachshund dog waiting at Perthshire Abandoned Dog Society in Perth.

A 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 Leo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Leo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Perthshire Abandoned Dog Society handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Leo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Leo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Perthshire Abandoned Dog Society 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Leo 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 Leo 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 Perthshire Abandoned Dog Society early rather than rehoming privately; they know Leo 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.
