Success Stories

My successfully re-homed story is coming very soon

It was love at first sight from the moment we saw Kiki on the DRA website and the stars aligned with her joining our family soon after. WoW what an absolute Angel she is. The whole process has been amazingly supportive and Kiki has settled in well with her new sibling “Pepper”. Their days start with a morning walk, followed by hours snuggling in their snuggle sacks, then finish with another walk before they visit everyone in the house for some love and attention. What an AMAZING breed of dogs, so loving and caring. Thank You to the Amazing DRA for your care and support and for making the process such a great experience. Thank you, little family we are, all thrilled for you.

My successfully re-homed story is coming very soon

Poppy found herself in need of a home, this anxious girl needed company. RSPCA ACT had her with a wonderful foster carer. Dachshund Rescue were more than happy to help this tiny tot find her forever home. Fortunately we have some wonderful families that have an ongoing relationship with DRA. One such family, were her new adopters,they had sadly lost a dachshund and Benji was pining terribly without his mate. On paper we thought poppy might help heal Benji's broken heart. Jane and Tim did a road trip to meet poppy, all went swimmingly and she was promptly on her way home to their farm. Poppy has loved having people around, open spaces, fresh air and best of all Benji by her side. Poppy's former owners are over the moon seeing her so relaxed and not at all stressed. It's very rewarding seeing rescues work together with an outstanding outcome for Poppy.

From the moment I saw Millie’s photo on the Dashund Australia Rescue page. I knew that she was going to be a perfect fit for our family. I was so excited when I got the call asking if we were interested in having a meet and greet with her. we knew she had some challenges but from the moment our other puppy met her I could tell they were gonna be great friends. And they are. They love exploring the acreage and going on daily walks together. We love Lilah it’s as though she has always been apart of our family.

Taco is a beautiful dachshund with a lovely personality. With changes in the family circumstances Taco was not being given the attention that he desperately craved. Taco is now a very happy little boy who has a new dachshund sister to keep him company on the odd occasion that they find themselves home alone. Although Taco is a shy boy who hides behind his owners when first meeting people and other dogs, he has made a few friends with the other local dachshunds. Taco is starting to flourish in his new home and enjoys spending time with his family and new dachshund friends at the local beach.

Princess Layla, aka Lay Lay, has made herself right at home with her new owners. She loves her daily walks, couch cuddles and exploring her new yard. Home cooked chicken and pumpkin for breakfast is how she prefers to start her day. From treats to tummy rubs and beach walks, Princess Layla is one happy little girl who is adored by her new mum and dad. A huge thank you to DRA for all of your support. You made Layla’s transition so easy. Your regular checking in was much appreciated and helped us during the settling in period. We would highly recommend DRA to anyone wanting to adopt a pooch in need. Everyone here at DRA are thrilled for this union. thank you so very much

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.

Dear Baxters elderly owner went into care. He is a sweet soul who adores human company. He had lots of adjusting to do, foster care then a new home. Fortunately for Baxter he has a patient mum that just adores him. Lots of time in their beautiful garden adult grandchildren drop in to keep everyone company. Baxter is a lucky boy to have a retired owner committed to him. We love to see these sweet ones adopted. They can adjust it just talked a bit more time. We thank his owner for all the care she has given him. xx
