Success Stories

Gypsy is a tiny sweet girl. Her family was unable to provide the home she required. On land she was a devil and loved getting out on adventures. They knew this wouldn't end well. Gypsy has been adopted by a retired couple who had previously owned a dachshund. Patricia and Ron love having a dog in their home again. Gypsy is a real snuggler and has found her forever home. It's very rewarding to see Gypsy transition to her new home with ease, she has a bright future. Lots of gratitude goes to owners adopting dachshunds in need like gypsy.

My successfully re-homed story is coming very soon

Bruno’s story so far… He has settled in and we now can not imagine life without him. He has his own little quirks as do his brothers. Toilet training was mastered quite quickly; I am now the crazy lady out at 6 in the morning for our daily walks to beat the heat. We have taken him on holidays and he enjoyed the beach. Loves fresh prawns (as do his brothers). Loves the car; loves riding on the lawn mower with my husband, chasing the ball, sleeping in the bed. What can I say we love him to bits. Thank you so much for allowing us the opportunity to adopt him.

How amazing that Loui's new owners not only adopted this gorgeous two year old boy from DRA but also a few days later adopted beautiful Sabrina, a 4 year old Sheltie who had sadly been neglected. Loui being in his new home just a little bit longer and being the terror that dachshunds can be is lucky that Sabrina is so gentle and patient with him 🙂 It didn't take long for Loui and Sabrina to become comfortable in each others company and these two little souls have now come to realise that they need each other more than they could ever know. Loui to help Sabrina settle in and enjoy her new life and Sabrina to help Loui overcome his separation anxiety. Loui needs some extra special training when out on his walks but he is a smart little boy and eager to please so we are confident that this will improve in no time. Thank you to his new owners for adopting two special dogs into their home and ensuring they have the best lives they can.

Gorgeous Frankie is 10 years old and came to DRA as his owner needed to go into a nursing home. Frankie was placed in foster care and it was discovered that he is quite a vocal boy who suffered from separation anxiety when left for periods at a time. He now lives in lovely home where he has a dachshund sister Casey (also rehomed by DRA). Frankie doesn't suffer separation anxiety any more but he's still quite vocal. We've since discovered that this is because he's completely deaf so he needs to ensure that everyone knows when it's dinner time!

Thank you. I ♥️ her so much & she loves Snookie & me. She has found her best forever home. Winnie is here sun baking with my 16 years young long haired Charlese aka Snookie. ♥️♥️♥️????????????

My successfully re-homed story is coming very soon

Greg wasn't a happy boy sharing his parents with a new baby. We were very fortunate to have some wonderful people apply to adopt Greg. He now keeps Sharon company and lives in a much quieter location. Greg is loving getting out walking the golf course encountering many kangaroos along the way. During his trial period Greg settled in every day, the addition of lots of new toys I think helped win this boy over. The couch is one of Greg's favourite spots, his previous owners are relieved to see him so happy and settled.

Sizzles is now living her best life with an active young couple. She loves being showered with affection and having her humans around. DRA made sure sizzles, was desexed and vaccinated, ready to start her new life. Sizzles is sweet girl, its lovely to see her settle into her forever home.
