Frankie girl
Franky has found her perfect forever home, and it’s everything she needed to thrive! Her new family has embraced her boundless energy and adventurous spirit, ensuring she stays safe while exploring the world around her. They’ve created an environment filled with stimulation, with plenty of space in a big backyard for her to run, play, and sunbathe to her heart’s content.
Franky now has a canine sibling to share her days with, giving her the social companionship she adores. Her family keeps her busy with interactive toys, puzzle games, and her favorite lick mats and stuffed kongs, ensuring she’s mentally and physically engaged.
With a flexible schedule, her new family spends quality time with her, from off-leash ball games to evening walks and car rides. They’ve provided the structure, love, and patience she needs to feel secure and fulfilled. Franky is thriving in her new life, surrounded by everything she loves!
Rosie – Melbourne
Rosie is now 4 months old and is so loved and adored by our family of 4.
From the moment we met her at just 10 weeks, she bonded with our children straight away.
Rosie loves to sleep in her crate at night, sleeps soundly all night and is happy to be woken by the kids in the morning.
Rosie is attending puppy school at the moment and is loving the puppy socialisation and learning some commands.
She has little sharp teeth (as expected) that kids have learnt to manage with getting her a chew toy and placing in her mouth when needed.
Since she was little, we have been letting her explore the backyard alone in her own space, now we are able to leave her home alone in short burst with no problem. Rosie loves to go on a little walk and also has loved visiting the beach!
Andrea has been an amazing help right from the start, with advice on what was needed with a new pup and continued support and checking in along the way.
We feel very lucky to have Rosie our rescue pup and appreciate the amazing, dedicated volunteers at Dachshund Rescue Australia for making this possible.
Rosie was one of Summer's pups.
Matilda – Melbourne
I’ve been with my new family for 5 weeks and I’ve already taught my family about how I like to run things. Dad and I work the farm each day checking water troughs on the quad bike and I chase the kangaroos out of the paddock. I’ve made friends with the blue chickens on the dam and am now learning how to walk on a lead so I can go metal detecting with Dad. Xmas day was grouse. I love wrapping paper and luckily I was still in baby shark mode for this. I have my big girl teeth coming so I’m nearly all grown up. I go to the local obedience park twice a week so that when it’s my turn to go to school I won’t be scared. In the evenings, I snuggle with my mum. She’s really good at keeping me safe and warm. My family are really happy that I joined them. The house isn’t quiet anymore. Anyway love to stay and chat but today is my first ride in the tractor so have to go. Cheerio Matilda.
We are delighted for this family. Tilda is one of Summer's pups.

My successfully re-homed story is coming very soon
Rambo Melbourne
Rambo joined our family 3 weeks ago through an application to Dachshund Rescue and it was love at first sight. Like any new family member settling in has had its trials and tribulations but I was lucky enough to be able to take a week from work to give him my undivided attention and settle him into some sort of a routine with toilet, play, simple training such as sit come and no, then food and nap. It was important to us that he be able to accompany us on day trips and weekends so as soon as he was fully vaccinated we introduced him to other dogs and people who we knew would tolerate his puppy exuberance. He is an extremely confident, affectionate and intelligent pup and the supply of plenty of soft toys, kongs, teething rings and cuddles used for the art of distraction has prevented a lot of the usual chewing of our belongings that puppies tend to do. Dachshund Rescue was extremely supportive both during the application process and after we collected Rambo, I know if there is any problems or questions then they will be available to assist both now and in the future. Once Rambo has grown up a little we will definitely be getting a companion through them for him 😊maybe 2. Can’t recommend them enough
