At 11 years old, Sally the black and tan found herself homeless. Fortunately for all concerned, a family found out that Sally was off to the pound and contacted DRA offering to help until we could sort out a home for her. We are so grateful to the incredibly caring people that look out for dachshunds in need ensuring that life can continue for the oldies.

We then contacted a family who have had a previous rescue from us, Hilde, who recently passed away leaving their current dachshund Pippa behind. Pippa was sorely missing her mate so she and Mum and Dad did a 5 hour car trip to go and meet Sally and off she went home with them! Pippa is such a sweet girl she leaves an impression on everyone she meets and it’s a match made in heaven as Sally now has a loving secure home and Pippa has a new friend to get into mischief with. As for the pair of them, the girls have got their owners well trained and they have a cart to hop into if their little legs get tired on long walks. (QLD)
