Theodore

Dachshund · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Theodore (Teddy) READING Adoption fee is £250 5 years old Tweenie (7kg) Chocolate dapple smooth coat Neutered male Teddy is a friendly and loving dog who is looking for a new home as his current family have made the difficult decision to find him a home where he can be given the time and calm, quiet environment he needs in order to thrive. Teddy is a lovely-natured dachshund who likes people and is generally well-socialised. He will bark when people he doesn’t know visit, but soon settles down. He loves attention and is a snuggle buddy – he is truly the definition of a velcro dog who does not believe in personal space. Teddy is very loving and loyal and will thrive in a home where he is connected with people and around others most of the time – although this can mean being curled up and snoozing in a dog bed while his human is hard at work earning those doggy chews! Outside the home, he is a perfect gentleman on walks with no pulling on the lead or barking. He is usually uninterested in dogs he does not know and is generally an easy-going boy. Teddy is in good health. This summer he had surgery for IVDD and fortunately has made a full recovery subsequently. Teddy is housetrained. At night he sleeps downstairs in a crate. Once settled, he can be left for up to four hours on occasion but will whine for a bit while settling. Teddy has never lived with any other animals but has spent time with another dog when he is with the pet sitter so could potentially live with another dog. Requirements in a home for Teddy Someone who is home a lot of the time Could potentially live with another dog, subject to a successful meet Could live with respectful, calm children age 10+ Not cat tested If you think you can give Teddy the forever home he needs, please contact Kim –

About Theodore

What life with Theodore looks like

Theodore is a adult dachshund 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 Theodore, answered.

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