"Jasper has settled in remarkably well, within a week to 10 days if we're honest. He's quite intelligent and picked up our family's lifestyle very quickly. Quirk wise, he's definitely a Dachshund, loves barking at imaginary objects, something his older brother from another mother Aston, has never done. He's been to a couple of local Aussie Rules footy matches and in true Dachshund style, loves searching for scraps. It's a fulltime job keeping him away from footy food 😁. He does love to flip his bed over and sleep on the underside too.

We were conscious to make sure Jasper knew that Aston is No1, and although he's closed that gap pretty fast, there is still a pecking order. They love going for walks and playing with Aston's toys together and just really getting along very well, we can't be happier.

And as far as Carolyn and I go, we just adore the little guy. We fell in love from the moment we met to be honest. Our family unit including our kids and their dogs, just love Jasper, he's made our home better than we thought was possible.

We both want to thank Dachshund Rescue, but most especially you Jess, from the bottom of our hearts for matching us up with Jasper. You made the whole process seamless, and coordinating meeting with Jasper's owner was well handled under obviously very trying circumstances for them."
