About This Dog

Belle's ideal home

Belle is a 1 year and 3 month old Dachshund with a lively, energetic personality and a real love for play. She enjoys her walks and can walk nicely on the lead, and at home she loves games like fetch and tug-of-war with her people. Belle is housetrained during the day, though she may still have the occasional overnight accident, so her new family will need to continue her training with patience and consistency. She is gradually building up her confidence with being left alone and has shown she can settle when left for short periods. Belle can be a little vocal when first meeting new people, but if given space she will approach in her own time and has been happy to greet visitors once comfortable. She also enjoys close companionship and currently prefers to sleep on the bed with her foster carer.

Could you be Belle's perfect match?

Belle would thrive in an active home that can match her playful energy and continue to build her confidence. Due to her slightly nervous and barky nature, she would be best suited to a home with older secondary school-aged children who understand how to give her space when needed. Belle has not yet lived with other animals or met other dogs in foster, so any introductions would need to be managed carefully. She is currently in foster care and is not available to view at the centre, but you can register your interest by favouriting Belle on your online application. With the right home, Belle will make a fun, affectionate, and loyal companion.

Gromit

  • 9 Months Old

Gromit's ideal home Gromit is an adorable 8-month-old Dachshund. He is a little wary of the big wide world, but he gains confidence from dogs, so we are looking for a home with a similar sized dog to show him that the world isn’t so scary after all! Gromit could live with children if they understand when to give him space and he would benefit from an enclosed garden to stay

Fritz

  • 2 Years Old

Fritz's ideal home Fritz is a 2-year-old boy looking for a calm, understanding home where he can continue to build his confidence. He can be a little shy when meeting new people, but his friendly nature quickly shines through once he feels comfortable. Fritz would suit patient adopters who are happy to go at his pace and help him learn the basics, as he’s had a sheltered

Angel 3

Angel

  • 9 Years Old

Angel's ideal home Angel is a sweet yet shy 9-year-old Dachshund. She can be worried by the big wide world but given time and patience she would make a great little companion. She would prefer a quiet and calm household, so we are looking for an adult only home without too many comings and goings, although we would consider high school age children and above if they are calm

Suzy

  • 6 Years Old

Suzy's ideal home Sweet girl Suzy is a 6 year old Dachshund cross who loves to roll around on the sofa. She takes a bit of time to warm up to new people, but once she has a bond she will happily sit next to her favourite people on the sofa and nudge them for a fuss. She is not interested in toys, she would prefer to wander and explore in the garden or spend time with her

Frankie 2

Frankie

  • 5 Years Old

Frankie's ideal home Frankie is on the search for his forever home and would appreciate adopters who are patient and mindful of his worried nature. He needs a home (no flats) that would have minimal visitors, as he can be anxious when meeting new people. Frankie will need adopters who are at home for the majority of the day, as he can become stressed if left on his own. This
