How do I contact the shelter about Long-Haired Boy?

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 Long-Haired Boy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Long-Haired Boy 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 Long-Haired Boy 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 Long-Haired Boy 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 Long-Haired Boy 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.

Long-Haired Boy

Dachshund · Unknown · Young · 2 years

LONG-HAIRED BOY WEST CENTRAL SCOTLAND Adoption fee is £350 2 years old Neutered Long-hair cream mini LHB is a very handsome boy who is sadly looking for a new home as he has moved from a quiet rural location into a town and is struggling to handle this new, busy environment. His family have made the difficult decision that he will be happier in a quieter home with someone who can give him the time and training he needs. LHB is a super-cuddly dog who loves to be with his special person – although this is lovely, he also needs to learn that being with other people is OK as well. He can be anxious in unfamiliar situations and his new family will need to be calm and understanding so that he can adapt and relax (we will provide behaviourist support if needed). Like many dachshunds, LHB can be quite vocal and may bark when he feels unsure or overwhelmed. LHB finds children overwhelming and unpredictable and for this reason we feel he will be happier in a child-free home. Outside the home, LHB is a typical active young dachshund who enjoys regular walks and would love a home where he can continue to explore and enjoy an active lifestyle. He enjoys spending time with other dogs and happily socialises and plays with them. He may be a gorgeous looking long-hair, but he still needs the exercise and enrichment his hunting roots demand! He will be happier outdoors having adventures and won’t be a great café-culture dog, certainly not at first. He loves playing with his toys, especially his ball, and enjoys spending time outdoors and in the garden. He is a bright little dog who knows basic commands and loves spending time with those he trusts and will respond well to training. LHB is crate-trained and travels well in the car. Once settled, he can be left for short periods of time. He has no health issues and is a super little dog who will thrive in the right home. Requirements in a home: Home in a quiet setting with access to a secure garden Could live with a calm, sensible dog, subject to successful meets No children Someone who is around a lot of the time Currently lives with a cat, so could potentially live with dog-savvy cats To find out more, please email Ipek at

About Long-Haired Boy

What life with Long-Haired Boy looks like

Long-Haired Boy is a young adult dachshund 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.
