Richmond & Corn

Male · Adult · 6 years

Richmond (6yrs old) is a sweet, independent boy who embraces life with enthusiasm and enjoys every minute of it. Always ready for an adventure, he's the more outgoing member of the pair and loves exploring the world around him. One thing you should know about Richmond: food is life! Whether it's mealtimes or treats, he's always keen to see what's on offer. His secret weapon is his irresistible puppy-dog eyes, which have a remarkable ability to melt hearts and earn an extra snack or two. Richmond is also incredibly affectionate and hopes his new family enjoys receiving kisses, because he loves showering his favourite people with them throughout the day. Corn (3yrs old) may be younger, but he's definitely the more chill member of the family. A true couch potato at heart, this sweet boy is happiest when he's snuggled up with his humans. Corn would quite happily spend all day by your side and loves nothing more than affection and companionship. His adorable wrinkly little legs are guaranteed to make your smile and his gentle nature makes him impossible not to fall in love with. Like his dad, Corn is a very affectionate boy who loves showing his humans just how much he cares. If you think you could be the perfect match, please favourite them in your application Meet Richmond and Corn, an adorable father-and-son Dachshund duo who are looking for a loving forever home together. These two peas in a pod share a wonderful bond and would love nothing more than to continue their journey side by side. They could happily live with other dogs and would be suitable to live with older primary school-aged children. Both boys can be left alone for up to six hours and travel well in the car.

About Richmond & Corn

What life with Richmond & Corn looks like

Richmond & Corn is a adult dog waiting at Dogs Trust Shrewsbury in Telford.

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 Richmond & Corn, answered.

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