Reggie

Male · Adult · 5 years

Reggie NOTTS Adoption fee is £250 5 years old Tweenie (9kg) Black and tan dapple dachshund Male – neutered Reggie is a friendly and loving dog who is sadly looking for a new home as his current home is unable to give him the calm, quiet environment he needs in order to thrive. He is gradually becoming quiet and withdrawn due to all the changes and it is breaking their hearts! Reggie is a well-socialised and friendly boy who enjoys visitors to the house and loves attention. He enjoys cuddles and walks and his favourite pastime is having his ball thrown for him. He is a perfect gentleman when people visit his home and may bark when somebody knocks at the door but welcomes visitors with no problem, and he loves going to a dog sitter where he is given lots of fuss and cuddles. Reggie has lived with a cat previously but not another dog, so he could potentially live with a dog-savvy cat. Outside the home, he can sometimes bark at other dogs if they get too close and can pull on his lead towards them; he is friendly with another family dog but can get a bit anxious if the other dog goes near his food, so this would need to be managed carefully if his next family has another dog. Reggie is in good health. He has had issues with his anal glands but this is currently managed by ensuring they are expressed every six months or so and through his diet. Reggie is housetrained and currently sleeps in a crate. Once settled, he can be left for up to four hours on occasion. Reggie is an easy-going little dog who will be a lovely addition to most families. Please get in touch if you think you can give him the loving home he deserves. Requirements in a home for Reggie Could potentially live with a dog-savvy cat Could potentially live with a friendly dog, subject to a successful meet Could potentially live with sensible teenagers To find out more about Reggie, please contact Kim at .

About Reggie

What life with Reggie looks like

Reggie is a adult 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. 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 Reggie, answered.

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