Minnie & Teddy

Dachshund · Unknown · Young · 3 years

Minnie and Teddy share a very close bond and we would love to find them a home together. They are double the trouble and 100% double the love! These two do everything together and thoroughly enjoy human company. Sit down with them and it won’t be long before they’re climbing onto your knee looking for attention. Teddy can be a little reserved in new surroundings and may initially bark when approached. However, he responds positively to gentle interaction and soon seeks out fuss and attention. He has had limited socialisation with other dogs but generally shows no negative reactions and is happy to have a sniff. Minnie is also a little unsure around other dogs and may bark when feeling nervous, although she is generally friendly. Both would benefit from continued socialisation in a calm, controlled environment to help build their confidence. Together, Minnie and Teddy are playful, lively little characters who love running around and can be quite vocal, particularly when they hear noises or spot movement in the garden. Both will need further training, particularly with lead walking and house-training, including regular visits to the garden. Their new owner must have plenty of time and patience and be able to walk them separately during the initial stages of training. Previous experience with Dachshunds would be beneficial, or an owner who has thoroughly researched the breed and understands their needs, including potential veterinary considerations. These two affectionate little characters have so much love to give and will certainly bring plenty of happiness to their new home.

About Minnie & Teddy

What life with Minnie & Teddy looks like

Minnie & Teddy is a young adult dachshund dog waiting at RSPCA Radcliffe Animal Centre in United Kingdom.

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 Minnie & Teddy, answered.

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