Adopt Midge

Dachshund · Female · Young · 3 years

Midge is a sweet little girl, but she is worried and scared around strangers and can be snappy if pushed. She's getting much better and once Midge gets to know you she is a very sweet and friendly girl. She will bond very quickly and then protect her owner. We have dog tested her and she was ok but can become easily jealous. Midge is looking for a new home with no young children and no other pets. Ideally a home with people who are used to the breed and have the experience needed. Once Midge is your friend, she's a real sweetheart and loves to sit on your knee for cuddles. She is very keen to learn and loves to get treats for learning new things. Midge walks well on the lead and enjoys a long walk, she is house trained and loves to struggle under a blanket.

About Midge

What life with Midge looks like

Midge is a young adult dachshund dog waiting at Animal Care Lancaster Morecambe in United Kingdom.

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 Midge, answered.

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