Success Stories

My successfully re-homed story is coming very soon

At only 11 weeks of age Mavis - Now Bella came into DRA for rehoming as she was distraught being left alone for long periods.  At first meeting with her new big brother Buddy there was lots of excitement and very little sleep was had that night!  Bella has now settled into her new life and Buddy's obsession with Bella is starting to calm down a bit.  Their days are spent playing non stop and then crashing for their naps in their own matching crates which have been placed opposite each other so that they can keep each other in their sights.  As Bella is still so young, she is yet to discover the big wide world outside her new home, but we know that she is going to thrive with Buddy by her side.  Thank you to Bella's new owners for stepping up so quickly to collect her and welcome to the wonderful club of "DRA Failed Fosters"!

Yogi has found a beautiful loving home. John, Belinda, and older kids Hayden and Meghan wanted to give their much loved little mini Dachshund Dougal a little brother. When they saw Yogi had experienced IVDD years ago and Dougal earlier this year they knew they could provide a quieter life. Both instantly got along. There were some settling in challenges, Yogi has a very loud bark for his size hehe But John is working with him and already seeing some behavioural changes. Thank you John and Belinda for opening up your home to this little rascal. Andie

Albert came in for rehoming, his owners wanting to improve his home life. He was a very anxious boy his anxiety was debilitating to his owners making them house bound. The search was on for a suitable forever home that was going to tick all the boxes to ensure Albert's long term success. We are thrilled now Albert has his brother Robbie for the company, Shelley and Con have seen huge improvements with Albert. It's rewarding to see Albert respond so well to his new routine, his transformation is a work in progress. Albert now enjoys leaving the house to walk, trips in the car and be rewarded with scenic picnics. He has found his loving forever home.

Tim and Val, are so thankful to D.R.A for helping them adopt Mindi. She has settled in well at her new home and loves her walks along the beach and cliffs. Mindi was obviously well looked after and we are very lucky to have her in our family. Thanks to Dachshund Rescue for making the whole experience a simple and seamless one.
