Willow foster cares where lovely & we are grateful they where able to care for her in-between us picking her up they also passed on what they where able to learn about her in there short time she stayed with them for example how she travelled in the car when they picked her up this was very helpful. Willow first Mum also left a note to let us no a little about Willow & some of her favourite things,there are lots & lots of fluffy blankets & fluffy bed all around the house which Willow mum said she loved & she has tested out all of them.

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.

Slinky has been renamed Winston to start his new life. Winston came into rescue after his senior owner had no back up to care for him. She had commitments and wanted the best for him. A young couple with a dachshund named George welcomed him. This boy is a very social dachshund now, from a quiet life to a cafe visits and hiking adventures. George took to the new house guest from day one. Winston's former owner is elated to see him flourishing in his new home. Thank you to the owners that gave a great home to a dachshund in need.

At only 17 weeks of age, Poppy was surrendered to DRA as her owner was not able to provide attention and time to her. Luckily Poppy's new owners were able to drop everything and pick up this gorgeous little puppy to welcome her into the family at a moments notice. With Poppy's new older dachshund brother Dudley on hand to help Poppy settle in, it took very little time before the two were playing together and chasing each other around the garden. Poppy is now thriving and growing up happy and healthy in a home where her family all adore her.
