How do I contact the shelter about Percy M?

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 Percy M on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Percy M 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 Percy M 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 Percy M 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 Percy M and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Percy M

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Somerset Adoption fee £250 Male (Tweenie – 10kg) ● 6 years old ● Chocolate dapple, smooth/wire cross ● Neutered Percy is a lovely, affectionate and sociable boy looking for a secure and settled home where he can thrive. He enjoys the company of other dogs and is happiest when he has canine companionship around him. He would ideally be rehomed with a friendly female dog, although he may also be able to live with a suitable male following careful introductions. Percy can be cautious around larger dogs, particularly due to having previously been attacked by one. When he sees other dogs, he may occasionally bark or lunge, especially when they are further away, but these reactions are generally brief and do not appear to be aggressive. It is possible that some of his barking is simply an attempt to interact or play, although this is difficult to know. He is generally more comfortable with smaller dogs and currently has a very good relationship with both another Dachshund and a Jack Russell Terrier that he lives with. Percy is both crate and muzzle trained. He has not used his crate for approximately two years, so his new family may need to gradually reintroduce this if they wish to continue using it. He is accustomed to having plenty of space at home, with a large garden where he can exercise and explore. He currently has around four walks each week alongside access to the garden and can be left for up to five hours when he has other dogs for company. His new family should allow him plenty of time to settle and adjust to his new surroundings and routine. Percy currently lives with children, but following a recent incident where he nearly bit his owner’s two-year-old daughter, his family feels that the risk around very young children is too high. He has also previously bitten a neighbour, which his owner believes was a circumstantial incident. Taking both incidents into consideration, his family feels that rehoming is the safest and most responsible decision for everyone involved. For this reason, Percy is looking for a home with children aged 10 and over, where his boundaries can be understood and respected and where he can receive the patient, consistent guidance he needs. Requirements in a home Must live with another dog, preferably a calm, friendly female Dachshund ● Can live with children aged 10+ ● Cannot live with cats If you are interested in meeting Percy, please get in touch with Alex at

About Percy M

What life with Percy M looks like

Percy M is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at The Red Foundation in Pentlow Street.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
