Rudy & Belle

Dachshund · Unknown · Young · 2 years

RUDY & BELLE Norfolk Adoption fee for the pair is £700 Rudy 2 years old Mini smooth red dachshund Not neutered Belle 3 years old Mini smooth Black and Tan dachshund/ JRT Neutered Meet beautiful Belle and Rudy: these two are an adorable bonded pair looking for their forever home together as sadly their owners’ circumstances mean they can no longer give them the time they need. Both dogs are affectionate, cuddly and adore being close to their people. They love curling up together on the sofa in the evening and are sociable dogs who get on with the other dogs in the home. In true dachshund fashion, they like to use their voices when greeting newcomers, but they will settle if ignored. At the moment, they get most of their exercise chasing each other round a large, secure garden. This has kept them fit and happy, but means they haven’t had much experience walking on-lead or interacting with unknown dogs. Their new home therefore needs to have a secure garden where they can exercise safely and the commitment to continue their lead training. Rudy and Belle have lived with children and had no issues with them – they would be able to live with sensible, dog savvy children. Both dogs are in excellent health. They are house-trained (unless it’s really raining badly!), crate-trained and sleep at night with each other in a crate. Once settled in their new home, they can be left for a few hours. These two loving little dogs are ready for a calm, permanent home where they can enjoy plenty of cuddles and continue learning about the world together. Requirements in a home for Rudy and Belle Private garden Could live with sensible children aged 10+ Could live with friendly dogs, subject to a successful meet Not cat-tested If you think you could offer Rudy and Belle the forever home they deserve, please get in touch with Erin at .

About Rudy & Belle

What life with Rudy & Belle looks like

Rudy & Belle is a large young adult dachshund dog waiting at The Red Foundation in Pentlow Street.

An young 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Rudy & Belle, answered.

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