Success Stories

Sabi now affectionately named Oliver, Ollie for short. Has found a beautiful caring adopter that will spend all her time providing all safe loving home. When we received a phone call from one of Jan's adult children it was evident that the network support around Jan would be more than enough to give Ollie all the attention he needs. He has a gentle nature and is well suited for Jan's lifestyle. They are both smitten with each other. Ollie loves his toys and makes it his mission to get the squeaky part out and present it proudly. We can already tell he has captured all his new families' hearts. Especially Jan's. D.R.A are grateful to witness this beautiful partnership.

Hi everyone, Just a bit about Jack; Since his adoption, Jack has seamlessly blended into our home, quickly establishing a sense of belonging. His playful nature with our other dachshund, Hank, has already formed an adorable companionship that extends from playtime to shared snuggles. Jack is a very cuddly boy, always wanting to be near us. He is he a joy to have around and is already a cherished member of our family, bringing warmth and happiness to each moment. Thank you so much for introducing him to us 🩵🐾

Barry is a little bundle of cuteness and energy! Barry (now known as Peanut) is living on a semi rural property with plenty of room to explore. Peanut has new friendly dachshunds siblings to keep him company and play with. Thank you to his new owners for coming forward to adopt this little munchkin. We hope he continues to bring you lots of happiness.

Muriel came into DRA looking for a home where she would have companionship during the day. Muriel has happily settled into her new home where she has just about taken over the household. She has two new dachshund brothers to boss around and her new owners are kept busy ensuring this little girl is content. Muriel has always been scared of men but is coming around to her new human dad. She allows him to put her harness on for her daily walks which she adores, but then can be caught glaring at him at other times! Lucky for Muriel that he adores his new little princess.

At first Harry was shy and timid in his new home, but after a couple of days he came out of his shell and his personality started to shine. He is a happy and energetic little boy who loves jumping around the garden like a jack rabbit in the grass. Harry is a big stickybeak and needs to know what's going on at all times. Harry sleeps in his owners beds, snores like a trouper and likes to spread himself out as wide as he can be. It's true to say that Harry has stolen his new owners hearts.

Mickey is a delightful little boy who is adored by everyone in his new family. He is now living on a farm with another 3 furry siblings to keep him company and play with. Mickey has mastered the art of the doggie door and happily takes himself in and out as he pleases and has only ever had one accident in the house. Such a clever boy! Mickey has become best friends with the biggest and tallest dog in the home and the pair are as thick as thieves. One of Mickey's favourite activities of the day is to patrol his new property and bark at the cows.

Bronson, a charming 8.5-year-old boy was seeking a loving home due to his present owners change in living arrangements. Along came Angie who had recently rescued Alonso (Fuzzy)as a friend for her other dachsie. Angie's Mum had recently retired and was lonely at home and kept trying to convince her to give up one of her dogs. As Angie was not keen to let her Mum take one of her dogs, she told her to adopt her own. The rest is history, with Bronson now enjoying his life pottering outside in a lovely garden or snuggled on the couch with his new Mum, who takes him for gentle walks around her neighbourhood, and yes, Angie is now happy because her two fur babies are safe from being snatched by their grandma.

Jeff was suffering from anxiety after losing his best mate earlier this year. He was taking out his anxiety on the older dog in the house, so his parents had to reluctantly rehome him, where he could be the spoilt only dog. His new owners write. "We rescued our very sweet boy two weeks ago and he has adapted very well, sleeps in our bed every night and is eating very well. Jeff is a class A snuggle bunny who has a very affectionate personality with lots of energy. We are very pleased to have been chosen to be his new family, we all love him dearly."

Charlie found his way to DRA, at 4 months of age his owner had an accident and was unable to walk him. Knowing Charlie needed to be socialised, he needed to be exposed to the big wide world. Charlie has settled in wonderfully with ease in his new home. His big sister Ivy was there to show him the ropes. Non stop playing and zoomies in the backyard. Charlie has some older children to keep him entertained. His former owner is delighted to see her boy so happy and content. He is getting the daily enrichment all dachshunds need.Charlie is going to be attending doggy daycare once a week. He will meet Ivy's playmates there and socialise with other fur friends. Charlie has a lovely temperament It's a delight to see him thrive in his new home. DRA are very grateful for new adopters putting in the time and care to welcome these little dogs in need. We look forward to hearing regular updates on Charlie and Ivy's antics.xx
