More about Hot Dog
Say hello to this handsome Dachshund Hot Dog!
This little chap arrived to Battersea where he initially struggled with kennel life. He loves to interact with people and will settle once he has had a cuddle or two!
Hot dog previously lived with another dog, however they did have some issues sharing resources so this little lad is now looking for a home with no other dogs. Hot Dog is a little unsure when meeting new dogs, however, he has gained some new furry friends from whom he gets a lot of confidence from which has been so lovely to witness. He therefore would benefit from regularly meeting dogs who are respectful and will be gentle with him allowing him to make new canine friends at his own pace.
Hot Dog loves to play with toys and will often be seen in his little fluffy bed keeping himself entertained. You will often see him rummaging around in snuffle matts and boxes which helps him relax and also occupied!
Hot Dog is looking for a family who can provide ongoing basic training to help him gain a few more life skills and practice the good foundations he already has. Hot Dog is looking for a loving home in a quiet location with access to a garden. He could potentially live with older children but isn't suitable to live with other animals. He would also do best in a home with more than one carer to help build up his time alone gradually as he has shown to struggle with this in his previous home.
He is a very sweet natured and super affectionate boy who would be the perfect companion and addition to your home!

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.
