I would like to thank you for all your help. Monty is the perfect boy. He has found himself very much at home. Loves being outside and inside. When Tony sits in his recliner at any time, there is Monty sleeping in his lap or following him wherever he goes. Bedtime sees Monty, not sleeping in his bed but Sleeping on the recliner in the bedroom. He has won both our hearts and anyone else's who meets him. He is a beautiful and loving boy. Once again thank you for all your help. Cheers lan and Tony. " It's a delight to receive updates, on how well and loved these dachshunds are"
Rosie (10) Willunga S.A
Rosie a gentle Dachshund who has rediscovered the happiness of belonging with a family that matches her mellow and affectionate nature. Having once been the dearly-loved companion of her female owner, Rosie thrives yet again in the company of equally warm-hearted humans. Her current home with a retired couple who have ample experience with Dachshunds suits her perfectly as they provide plenty of lap snuggles. Rosie adores these peaceful, loving moments, contentedly curling up on their laps while basking in the household's calm atmosphere. Rosie hasn't lost her love for a leisurely stroll around the block. Her soft warmth and heartwarming presence have filled this home once again with the patter of tiny feet.
duke (10 months) sydney
Duke has been part of our family for a week now and I thought I would give you an update.
Duke has been the perfect addition to our family. He adores his brother Henry. Henry however is still getting used to no longer being the only child.
Duke is such a clever boy and is very well trained. Something that we are very thankful for and appreciate his previous family for putting the time and effort into achieving.
He spent the first couple of days hanging out with his dachshund Uncles Teddy and Bennie who are also DRA dachshunds. He enjoyed daily wrestles with Uncle Bennie and pestering old Uncle Teddy.
We hit the road on Tuesday for our long road trip to the Northern Territory and he has been such a great traveller. He went for his first ever swim and loved it. He has also enjoyed a couple cheeky visits to the pub where he is the centre of attention.
I just want to say a huge thank you for giving us the opportunity to provide Dukey with a home. We absolute adore him and can't thank you enough for making the process so smooth.
Duke has been a busy snag! We have finally made it to the Katherine this afternoon. Dukes former owner is so grateful he has found a wonderful caring home with lots of company. May the adventures begin!!
Duke went to Walkabout Creek Pub yesterday and Daly Waters Pub today where he met two donkeys! See pics below.
Eve & Nibbles
Nibbles and Eve - now Vinnie and Evie came in for rehoming because their owner was very unwell. It was semi urgent, and we engaged one of our trusted fosters. Kelly dropped everything that day of pick up and drove 4 hours there and back total 8 hours. Kelly nurtured these two like her own. Walked them daily, groomed them daily and showered them with an inside family life. Having two of her own it wasn't to be a foster fail. But make no mistake lots of tears were shed on the day of pick up.
Enter their forever home. They have been adopted by a beautiful family.
"Just wanted to say a big thank you to Dachshund Rescue Australia for helping our family to find the perfect partners in crime .. Vinnie and Evie came to us in November this year and have quickly cemented themselves in our hearts. This darling duo have completed our family just in time for Christmas. Thank you, DRA, for all your help we really appreciate it "
This rehome didn't happen overnight, but all parties involved prioritised this adorable pair and the end result is magnificent. DRA would like to thank Kelly the Foster and of course Elaine the adopter.
