Success Stories

Toby Goofy (3) Melbourne VIC

I was recently lucky enough to be selected to adopt Toby. We’d been trying to get a rescue Dachshund for a while as a companion to our smooth mini, Doug. We of course had concerns about behaviour and what environment the new addition may come from but we were committed to making it work in order to give a dog a new beginning. Toby and Doug’s 1st meeting went so well we decided to take Toby home for the 2 week trial period. I’d be lying if I said there weren’t a few jealous tiffs and some challenging behaviour to address but overall it has been fantastic. The two boys have bonded and by day 4 they were running around like lunatics and playing together. I’m so glad we made this decision. Andrea and the team at DRA have been nothing short of amazing! Showering little Toby with gifts, food and supplements along with footing the bill for a vet visit. (Which I wasn’t expecting) If you’re on the fence about giving this a go, don’t hesitate, you won’t regret it!

Wanda (8) & Houdini (8) melbourne

Wanda and Houdini were a very reluctant rehoming. Their owner had a young family and the dogs weren't happy with little folk around. They both have lovely natures, like most long hairs. Very laid back. Fortunately Ania was hoping to welcome a pair of middle aged dachshunds, it was meant to be. Lots of TLC and settling in has put them at ease. DRA has helped with their vaccinations and dentals to get them in tip top shape for their new owner. It's lovely to see them so happy prancing around in their new garden. Life is good?!
