Introducing these four precious Dachshund puppies, brothers Sleepy, Sneezy, Grumpy and their teeny weeny sister Bashful (more photos to come as they settle).

These cuties have been through quite an ordeal in their short lives, so they are understandably nervous about new surroundings and experiences – they will thrive in homes that can offer a calm, nurturing environment with a gentle approach to introducing them to the big wide world.

What They Need:

  • A calm and understanding household: The puppies are still finding their confidence, so a quieter home would suit them best.
  • Homes with children: We will consider families with children who can respect the puppies’ initial reservations and provide a calm, gentle approach. Loud noises and fast movements can be overwhelming for them right now.
  • Someone around most of the day: To help with building their confidence, socialisation, and house training, they’ll need someone who can dedicate plenty of time to their care.
  • Existing dogs: If you already have a dog, we will need proof of up-to-date vaccinations and if the dog is of the opposite sex, they will need to be neutered.
  • No Delays: we are looking to place the puppies in to forever homes at their earliest opportunity, therefore, adopters should be ready and available to complete our process within 10 days of initial contact.

Additional Information:

  • The puppies are currently in foster homes and will have only received their first vaccinations at the time of adoption, therefore, they will need to return to the centre twice after their adoption: once for their second vaccination (within the first 3-4 weeks) and again when they reach neutering age (if an adopter is happy to arrange neutering at their own vet, and provide proof after the procedure, then we would be happy to consider this – a neuter voucher towards the cost can be provided, however, you will likely incur further fees). For this reason, we are prioritising homes within a 1.5-hour travel radius, though we may consider further distances in exceptional cases.
  • Our Puppy adoption fee £600, which is inclusive of all initial health checks and treatments, vaccinations, microchip, future neutering + a weeks worth of puppy food, 4 weeks free PetPlan insurance, and a £50 adoption shop voucher.

These adorable pups are full of potential, so if you think you can provide the loving home one of these puppies needs, we’d love to hear from you!

Please note – we expect to receive a high level of interest, and are only a small team, so may not be able to get back to every application. We ask that you allow a suitable contact time (5-10 days) before following up your application. We won’t be matching specific puppies to homes at this time – this will be done at the viewing stage.
