Minnie

Female · Senior · 10 years

Minnie’s favourite things in life are sunbathing, cuddling up on a comfy lap, and enjoying a long nap. She absolutely loves people and thrives on affection from those around her. Despite her relaxed nature, Minnie is still curious and enjoys taking her time to sniff and explore on walks. She and Lewis make a wonderful pair, always side by side, and are looking for a special home where they can continue enjoying life together. With plenty of love and companionship, Minnie will be a devoted and affectionate addition to the family. Meet Minnie, a 10.5 year old Dachshund who is looking for a quiet and loving home alongside her son, Lewis. This adorable pair of sausages are inseparable, relying on each other for comfort and companionship. They must be rehomed together. She enjoys gentle walks in quieter areas and will need a home in a peaceful location. While she settles well when left with Lewis, any leaving hours should still be built up gradually over time. Minnie and Lewis can live with children aged 12 and above and would need to be the only dogs in the home.

About Minnie

What life with Minnie looks like

Minnie is a small senior dog waiting at Dogs Trust Salisbury in Newton Tony.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

Note from the shelter: Has ongoing medical conditions that need discussion with 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 Minnie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Minnie?
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 Minnie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Minnie 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 Minnie 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 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 Minnie 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.
