Description

Dexter's ideal home

Dexter is looking for a loving home in a quieter, preferably rural area with adopters who can make him feel safe and secure in his new home allowing him to settle in with time, patience and understanding. He is looking for an adult only home without visiting children to ensure that he has a calm and predictable routine, an environment where he can settle and would benefit from a period of time without visitors so he can get used to his new home without too much change or pressure. Dexter is quite uncomfortable around other dogs, so in addition to being the only pet in his home, he will need owners who can offer him walks in quieter areas where he won’t see too many dogs so he can enjoy his walks in peace. Dexter will need gradual introduction to being left on his own after a settling in period so that he can get used to coping on his own, so he will need lots of human company when he first goes home. Dexter will need to meet his adopters multiple times to build a strong bond prior to going home and he may need visits from our behaviour team once he goes home so please bear this in mind when applying. If you rent your property, please have written permission from your landlord ready once you have submitted your application to avoid delays, as it will be required early on in the rehoming process if you are shortlisted.

Could you be Dexter's perfect match?

Dexter is a beautiful and bright 2 year old Dachshund who loves to play and learn new things. He has done hoopers and scent work in his previous home and just loves to be engaged in fun activities with his humans! He has lots of training tricks under his belt and really enjoys showing off what he knows for a tasty snack and if a food reward in on offer he is very focused and really good fun to train. Once he gets to know you, he is a cuddly boy who enjoys getting cosy on the sofa. Although Dexter has some struggles with new people and dogs, he is such a loving and affectionate boy with his humans and will make a lovely companion for the right home.

Buying Checklist

Dachshund Buying Checklist

We highly recommend every buyer reads through the below advice when purchasing or rehoming a Dachshund.

View the animal in the place it was born and raised - check for genuine home environments if buying privately, or the quality of the breeders set-up if applicable.
If viewing a puppy under 6 months, by law they MUST be seen with their mum.
Make sure the animal's old enough to be rehomed. 8 weeks should be the earliest a puppy can be rehomed.
By law, all dogs MUST be microchipped

Avoid Potential Scams

There are a number of red flags to look out for when purchasing a new puppy:

Seller demands a deposit without allowing you to see the dog first - never send any money before meeting the animal in person
Seller is reluctant to send you additional photos or videos
Seller offers to deliver the dog/puppy
Seller asks to meet in a mutual location
Seller uses fake or stolen photos from the internet. Always carry out a "Google image search".

Although we have a number of automated systems in place to prevent scam and fraudulant adverts, these can never be 100% accurate and its important to use caution when buying online. We do not accept any responsibility for transactions between our users, especially when our safe buying advice is not followed.
