Lewis

Male · Adult · 5 years

Lewis is a sweet and affectionate boy who adores attention from his favourite people. He loves treats, squeaky toys, and spending time with Minnie. He enjoys gentle walks in quieter areas where he can take his time sniffing and exploring at his own pace. Lewis is a loving little dog who will thrive in a calm home where he and Minnie can continue enjoying life side by side. Together, they make a wonderful pair and are sure to bring plenty of love and companionship to their new family. Meet Lewis, a 5.5 year old Dachshund who is looking for a quiet and loving home with his mum, Minnie. These two are incredibly close and must be rehomed together, as Lewis loves following Minnie around like her little shadow. He will need his own private garden where he can explore, relax, and enjoy a sunny spot. While he settles well when left with Minnie, any leaving hours should still be built up gradually over time. A home in a quiet area would suit him best. Minnie and Lewis can live with children aged 12 and above and would like to be the only dogs in the home.

About Lewis

What life with Lewis looks like

Lewis is a small adult dog waiting at Dogs Trust Salisbury in Newton Tony.

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.

Note from the shelter: Lewis has ongoing medical conditions which require discussion with the shelter team

🇬🇧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 Lewis, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lewis?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Salisbury handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lewis on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lewis if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Salisbury 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 Lewis 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 Lewis 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 Dogs Trust Salisbury early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lewis 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.
