Adopt Olive – 9 year old Female

Dachshund · Female · Puppy · 4 months

Hi there… I’m Olive 🌿 I’m a 9-year-old Dachshund, and I suppose you could say I’m a bit of a gentle old soul. I may not be a puppy anymore, but I’ve got plenty of love left to give—once I feel safe and settled, that is. I’ll be honest with you… I can be a bit of an anxious girl. The world sometimes feels a little big and overwhelming for someone my size, and I need a human who understands that. Someone patient, kind, and willing to go at my pace. I’m not the type to rush into things—but when I trust you, oh, it’s something really special. Because of my worries, I’d do best in a calm home where I can relax and feel secure. I’d really love someone who’s had a Dachshund before—someone who understands our funny little ways, our sensitive hearts, and yes… our stubborn streaks too. I’ve lived with children before and could happily be part of a family again, especially if they understand I sometimes need a little quiet time. When it comes to other dogs, I can be a bit unsure and nervous, so any introductions would need to be slow and gentle to help me feel comfortable. As for cats… well… I do enjoy a good bark at them, so I think a cat-free home would be best for everyone! I enjoy the simple things in life: a cosy bed, a quiet corner, and a human who speaks softly and gives the best gentle fusses. I don’t need big adventures—just a safe place to call home and someone who won’t mind reassuring me when I feel unsure. If you’ve got a bit of experience, a lot of patience, and an even bigger heart… I think we could be just right for each other. My adoption fee is £260. Love,Olive 🐾

About Olive – 9 year old Female

What life with Olive – 9 year old Female looks like

Olive – 9 year old Female is a large puppy/kitten dachshund dog waiting at Rain Rescue in United Kingdom.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧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 Olive – 9 year old Female, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Olive – 9 year old Female?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Rain Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Olive – 9 year old Female on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Olive – 9 year old Female if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Rain Rescue 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 Olive – 9 year old Female 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 Olive – 9 year old Female 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 Rain Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Olive – 9 year old Female 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 (the shelter's own language). 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.
