Wallace

Dachshund · Unknown · Senior · 9 years

Wallace Surrey Adoption fee – £250 – 9 years old, neutered male – Mini long-haired Dachshund – silver dapple Wallace is a gentle, loyal boy looking for a new home due to a change in his owner’s personal circumstances and work commitments. He can be a little cautious when first getting to know people, but once he feels comfortable, he enjoys being close to them and forms strong bonds with those he trusts. At home, Wallace enjoys a calm environment where he can relax in his bed and spend time with his people. He is affectionate and has been used to living with a young child, although we are looking for a home with sensible children aged 10 or over. Out on walks, Wallace can be vocal on the lead and may bark at other dogs or unfamiliar situations. His new family will need to be willing to continue his training outside the home. Wallace is in good health and is currently fed a raw diet. He likes to choose where he sleeps, depending on how warm or cool it is but mostly in his own bed. Wallace is also crate trained. He currently lives with another dog and could share his new home with a suitable dog, subject to a successful meet. He does not like cats, so a cat-free home is required. Requirements in a home – Commitment to training outside the home – No cats – Could live with another dog, subject to a successful meet – Could live with sensible older children aged 10+ If you think you can offer this lovely boy a forever home, please get in touch with Amber at .

About Wallace

What life with Wallace looks like

Wallace is a senior dachshund dog waiting at The Red Foundation in Pentlow Street.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧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 Wallace, answered.

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