Now known as DonDiablo or Donny for short, we are besties and enjoying going to the local dog cafe, dog park and for walks. Living in Melbourne and tacking trams 🚃 everywhere, Donny loves a tram ride and nearly always gets a request for a photo. Everyone just loves him. I can see that Dachshunds are not for everyone but with the right amount of training, you can achieve almost anything.
My sincere appreciation to everyone at DRA and I hope that all future adoptions go extremely smoothly and with great success.
This is to express my appreciation to the people who volunteer with Dachshund Rescue Australia , I had been looking at getting myself a dog for quite some time now, and I stumbled across the DRA website quite by accident whilst going through google.

I completed an online application from with DRA and I was able to correspond with Andrea, who was extremely helpful and keen on arranging for me to meet Don, who was available for adoption. Although I was unable to get to the location where Don was, it was generously arranged for Don to be brought to see me. I fell in love with him very quickly and we have become very good buddies now. Even though I had no experience with a Dachshunds, the training began from day one …

One more thing: Donny has almost completed my training! Yes, that’s right he is training me … I am so happy that I have him and the companionship he gives.
Best wishes Gavin O’DEE & DonDiablo
