More about Fudge
Fudge is a gentle and sensitive Standard Dachshund who is looking for a calm home where he can take his time settling in and building trust with his new owners. He is currently based at Battersea Old Windsor.
Fudge can be timid when meeting new people but warms up quickly, enjoying fuss and the company of his favourite people. When given time, Fudge forms strong bonds and loves a game of fetch with his tennis balls. He will need time in his new home to build up independence and will benefit greatly from a consistent routine with clear home boundaries.
When out on walks Fudge likes a gentle potter, often using his nose to take in his surroundings. Quiet walking areas with fewer dogs and distractions will help him feel more relaxed as he adjusts to his new surroundings.
Fudge will need a private garden so he can build his confidence in his own safe space. In his previous home Fudge was housetrained so this will also allow him to keep up his training.
Fudge does not gain much from the company of other dogs and will often bark at passing dogs. He is ideally looking for a home where he will not have many dog neighbours, giving him the space to continue his training. He may sometimes enjoy a walk with a dog that has a similar independent and calm nature, but he really prefers human company.
Potential owners will need to speak with a Battersea vet prior to rehoming Fudge.
In a new home that can provide him patience, time and understanding, Fudge will show his affectionate, loyal nature and bright personality.
If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Fudge you can e-mail our rehoming team on bow.rehomers@battersea.org.uk to register your interest.
We ask every customer to first complete our online rehoming application form, so if you have not filled in our form yet you can find the details on how to do so here; https://www.battersea.org.uk/rehome/dogs
Please be aware that we have a large amount of interest in rehoming our animals, so we are only able to contact those that are a match for the dog you have contacted us about.
Rehoming FAQs
Here at Battersea, we assess all of our dogs individually and create a rehoming profile for them. To ensure successful matches between people and pets, we use a combination of extensive rehoming experience, our staff expertise and the information you provided in your rehoming form. Once you complete your online registration, you’ll receive a confirmation email to let you know that we have everything we need to begin our matchmaking process, as well as the next steps of the process.
This may not always be the dog you thought it would be, which is why we ask that you see the registration form as a way of registering your interest in rehoming, not an application for a specific animal. We’re experts in making sure we find the right home for our dogs and the right dog for your home.

Once you’ve completed our online registration form, we’ll handle the rest. Your rehoming registration will be open for up to three months, and in that time, we’ll do our very best to try and match you with a pet that best suits you and your lifestyle. It can take a bit of time for us to try and match you with a pet – but we promise it’s time well spent. We’re committed to getting to know every animal at our centres before finding a match that works for our dogs and for you wherever possible.
If we are not able to match you with a dog within three months, we’ll let you know and offer guidance to help you continue your search, either at Battersea or beyond.

Our rehoming fee is £230 for dogs (over six months), £350 for a pair of dogs, or £275 for puppies (under six months). We accept cash or debit/credit card as payment (we are unable to accept cheques). Included in this cost are the following:
- Microchipping
- Initial vaccinations, flea and worming treatment
- Neutering
- A collar, identification tag and lead
- Starter pack of food, advice and special offers
- Four weeks’ free Petplan insurance as your dog settles into their new surroundings
Something to bear in mind is that our rehoming fee is just the beginning of the costs involved with owning a dog. We would recommend that before making the decision to rehome, you investigate the costs of pet food, pet insurance, grooming and fees at your local veterinary centre so that you are fully prepared for the financial implications of bringing a dog into your home.
