More about Pippa
Meet our little Pippa, a gorgeous miniature smooth haired Dachshund with a very sweet nature. Pippa is a worried little lady who can be sensitive at times, but once she has taken the time to build trust with you, she is a friendly and affectionate girl who loves showing you her softer side.
Onsite, Pippa has shown that she is not yet housetrained, so she will need her new family to be patient and understanding while she learns this skill. She will need a secure, private garden where she can continue her housetraining at her own pace, as well as having her own safe space to explore without the worry of encountering unfamiliar people or other dogs.
When out and about, Pippa has shown that she can feel conflicted around other dogs and may communicate this by being vocal. Our team have already started helping Pippa to build her confidence around dogs, and she will need owners who are happy to continue this work with her at home and out on walks. Because of this, Pippa would be happiest as the only dog in the home. Our rehoming team will talk through all of Pippa’s training and support needs with any potential new owners, both verbally and in person, to make sure everyone feels prepared to help her settle and flourish.
Pippa hasn’t previously lived with children, and because she can be worried around people, we are recommending that she lives with teenagers and above. Her new family will need to be able to recognise and respect her body language and give her the space she needs when she is communicating that she feels unsure.
Pippa is a wonderful little sausage with such a sweet heart and so much love to give. With patient owners who can help her feel safe and confident, we know this lovely little lady has so much potential to blossom.
We ask every customer to first complete our online form before we discuss an individual animal, 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/rehoming. We cannot discuss dogs with interested parties until this step has been completed.
If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Poppy sausage, you can e-mail our rehoming team on bbh.rehomers@battersea.org.uk to register your interest.
Please be aware that we have a large amount of interest in rehoming our animals, so we will only be able to contact those that who could be 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.
