Napoleon’s Happy Ever After
Some dogs just know when they've found their forever people and for Napoleon, that moment came the day he trotted into his new home like he owned the place (blanket in tow, of course). This spirited little dachshund, once searching for the perfect match, has landed exactly where he belongs—with a loving, experienced family who adore every bit of his bold personality and boundless energy.
Napoleon’s new humans ticked every box on his wish list—and then some. With a large, secure backyard to zoom around in, daily bushwalks, a steady supply of squeaky toys, and a cosy lap waiting at the end of every day, he’s living the dachshund dream. He even gets his favourite treat: a weekly puppycino at his local café, where he now struts in like a celebrity (and yes, the baristas know his name).
His new family understood that Napoleon came with a few quirks—some dog reactivity, a little anxiety in unfamiliar situations—but they’ve embraced it all with patience and love. With the help of a gentle trainer and a consistent routine, Napoleon is building confidence every day. Walks are calmer, his tail wags more often than it trembles, and he's learning that not every dog is an enemy and not every jogger is a monster.
When he's not adventuring outdoors, Napoleon can be found burrowed under a mountain of blankets on the couch, happily snuggled up next to his favourite people. He still has that cheeky sparkle in his eye when he plays fetch (and refuses to bring the ball back), and his family wouldn't have it any other way.
Napoleon didn’t just find a home—he found *his* people. And for a dachshund who once waited for the right fit, he's finally got everything his little sausage heart desired.
His new family shared this lovely note:
