Success Stories

Annie – NSW

Little Orphan Annie was sadly found as a stray, abandoned on the side of the road. Understandably she wasn't coping in the shelter but luckily that is all behind her now. Annie and her new mum loved each other from the moment they met. On arrival at her new home, Annie met her new family which includes a dachshund called Tilly. Annie and Tilly bonded immediately. The girls play non stop, running around the house, garden and Tilly has been teaching Annie how to play fetch. Surprisingly, they also have the energy to go on two walks daily. Annie likes going on adventures and recently enjoyed a trip to her local Bunnings 🙂 Annie is always ready for cuddles and luckily she is now getting lots of them! Thank you to all who were involved with Annie's rehoming.

Travis- Hallam – VIC

Travis is a gorgeous little boy who is playful, energetic and very loving. Luckily for Travis, he is well suited to his new forever home and his adoptive family fell in love with him from the moment they met him. In the short time that he has been in his new home, the daily routine is now well and truly revolved around Travis. He brings a lot of happiness into the home and life before his arrival is a distant memory. He travels in the mornings to help with the school drop off and cries when the kids get out of the car but luckily mum is with him during the day providing lots of cuddles. After dinner is Travis' favourite time of the day when the whole family take him to the beach for some family fun time playing in the sand.

Nixon (Loki) – VIC

Little Nixon (now Loki) did not have the ideal start to life that he deserved and sadly had found himself abandoned in a box at only 12 weeks of age. Luckily for him, he has now landed on all four of his cute little paws in an amazing home with older dachshund siblings for company. Loki is a happy boy who loves playing with his brand new toys, especially the furry duck with two squeakers! He has a healthy appetite eating everything put in front of him. Loki is sleeping in his own bed with new fluffy blankets and doing all the fun activities that every puppy should be doing. Loki's facial scars are healing nicely and the mange he was suffering from has almost gone as well. We can only hope that Loki's mother, father and litter siblings are faring as well as Loki and are not suffering at the hands of their disgraceful breeders. Thank you to Mornington Animal Shelter. Loki's new owners and all involved who helped Loki in his time of need. ***It is everyone's responsibility to report animal cruelty. Don't wait until it's too late. Loki is a survivor but there are many who are not so lucky.

Harley

Harley, is a very lucky Dachshund!, he has found his own slice of paradise on an expansive acreage. Embracing his newfound freedom, he spends his days frolicking across open fields, relishing the sheer joy of running and playing to his heart's content. With companionship day and night, Harley is surrounded by love and care, basking in the warmth of his new home. For this fortunate pup, life couldn't get any better—it's a dream come true, filled with boundless happiness and endless new adventures.

Remi, 2yrs, Townsville QLD.

Remi was adopted by a kind couple in Far North Queensland who had recently been converted to life with a dachshund and were keen to adopt another so that they could have double the love, and double the trouble. Miss Remi loves playing with Boris, snuggling on the couch playing tug of war and the endless zoomies around the house keep them entertained. Remi has daily walks down on the beach and loves the different sights and smells of the ocean. Thankyou for choosing to adopt, we are thrilled that Remi has found her 'furever home'!

Louie Mid North coast NSW

Louie, a sweet and gentle Dachshund, faced a temporary stay in foster care during a challenging time. Thankfully, fate smiled upon him as a loving family quickly fell head over heels for his charming personality. Eager to share their hearts, they welcomed Louie into their home with open arms. Louie's rehoming tale is a testament to resilience and the power of love, proving that every dog deserves a chance at a brighter, happier future.

Franky Central coast/Sydney NSW

Franky, once a lonely soul in search of a forever home, found his happiness when a compassionate family decided to welcome him into their lives. Since the day of his adoption, Franky's world has been transformed into a haven of joy and love. One of his newfound delights is the thrill of riding in the family car, his ears flapping in the wind as he eagerly anticipates the adventures that await. The once timid pup has blossomed into an exuberant ball of fur, and his love for car rides is only rivaled by his enthusiasm for daily walks with his new family. Franky, with his tail held high, explores the neighborhood with boundless energy, sniffing every tree and chasing after playful butterflies. In this harmonious new chapter of his life, Franky has not only found a home but a family that cherishes him, making every car ride and walk a testament to the happiness that comes from being rehomed into a loving and caring environment.
