Milo (1) & Coco (2) W.A
We have had dachshund dogs for 50 years and after losing Goosey, our previous dachshund our house was very quiet and missing something. We applied to DRA after seeing the advert for Milo and Coco who were looking for their forever home. These two precious characters have settled into our farm life and love the space and comfort of our property. The chooks have been put in their place and the frogs have learnt to get out of the way! They know the routine and have adapted very quickly. Thank you to DRA for allowing us to adopt such special little dogs and also thank you for their little parcel which arrived a few days ago. A special thank you to Andrea from DRA for her support through the whole process.
Dex (1) Melbourne
Fostering, there is a term called "failed foster" and it appears our family will qualify. Asked to urgently help by Dachshund Rescue Australia to a mini smooth, Dex has slotted in so well, appears we will be adopting this boy at some stage soon. He has had four homes in less than 15 months, most would say red flags, not till you know his journey. Against my instincts, Dex is a back yard breed pup, sold to a person looking to breed herself. This person decided it would take to long to have Dex breed. So Dex was sold again to a gentleman that loved this pup, did everything right, but he had to surrender as he was diagnosed with a terminal illness and not a lot of time left. That's were DRA came in, instead of a pound this grand organisation asked us to help and our family is so blessed with this request. Our No1 was Eddie (our standard wire), we expected issues, challenges, problems, but all we got from Dex was a devotion and love. This fella has had tough time, he has shown nothing less than a friendly demeanour and a desire to be cuddled, be best buddies with Eddie and a lust for life. If you've read this far, thank you. We don't exactly know the future, but I'd encourage anyone to consider fostering where the circumstances lead you to believe it is right. We know Eddie's purity, Dex we don't. But this looks to be a journey ahead that our entire family will enjoy 🤗
🥳It's OFFICIAL ... Dex is now family, the adoption complete and Eddie has a younger brother. As a shortened form of the Latin moniker Dexter, Dex means “right-handed,” “skilled,” “clever,” or “favourable.” These meanings paint a picture of someone so competent, skillful, and quick that they might even be described as “dexterous,” an English term that derives from Dexter. My thanks to Dachshund Rescue Australia, we are blessed to have this little boy part of our home 🤗🤗
Pipa, 3yrs 4mths, Bris/Toowoomba region, QLD.
"Since adopting Pipa she has fit right into our family perfectly as if she was the missing piece. She has settled in so well with her new fur buddy Max. By the second day, they were basically in sync together. They would walk, bark, sit down in sync! They have built a bond that cannot be broken. They sleep together, eat together and play together. It has changed our lives for the better knowing that the dogs have eachother as well as us. We can now say our family is complete having adopted Pipa! Thank you DRA for completing our family with little Pipa!"
Wolfgang, 1yr, Sydney, NSW.
Wolfgang has had a big change in his life and has moved from the inner city to country life. He loves getiing out into the yard and sniffing out all the new smells and sounds. He also now has two doggie siblings, and he has buddied up with Fred and when they arent going on family adventures they can be seen snuggling up together on the couch. Thanks Amanda and Family for choosing to adopt!
