Frankie – Almost 4 – Doncaster, VIC
Just to let you know Frankie has settled in well. As expected, we had a few problems to start with when various items got chewed up and he attacked people’s ankles. His nose is a pick pocket in its’ own right and he is capable of pulling out a chair in order to gain access to a lunch which wasn’t intended for him. (We are trying to keep his weight level.) He is very loving though so of course gets forgiven anything. We walk each day, I think he prefers the streets to the bush but we cover both. I cannot imagine life without him in it now and often think of his previous owners and wonder how they are. I know parting with him was hard for them.
Thank you for the work you do, know that you have helped bring much joy to this household.
Forest, 1 year old, Griffith NSW
Hello, Forest is loving being an inside dog! Very snuggly on the couch and also enjoying spending a little time outside exploring the yard. and lucky for us, he has found a space in our family we didn't know needed filling!
Bruno – Almost 2 – Forbes, NSW
Bruno has clearly landed on his paws in Orange — and it definitely sounds like he’s quietly promoted himself to Head of Household.
Dogs have a way of doing that: one minute they’re settling in, the next they’ve claimed the best chair, established meal expectations, and trained the humans perfectly.
“Bruno is loving life with us” says everything. A relaxed, happy dog is usually a sign he feels safe, included, and very much at home.
Winston (7) NSW
On the off chance I came across Dachshund Rescue Australia while scrolling through Facebook. I had dog sat my daughter's dachshund and now that I was retired felt the need for another dog. Well didn't I win the lottery. Winston came into my life. Winston was a 7 year old loveable fellow that was very well trained. We have become inseparable now. He loves that he can run around in the garden while I'm out gardening or snoozing by the fire when I'm sewing late at night. He is a great traveler as we visit my old father once every two weeks and my dad loves seeing him. It was a big decision to get him but I've been so happy that Winston has entered my life. Even my kids tell me it was a perfect match. Dashhound rescue was great answering all my questions and organised his vet work. I highly recommend the experience of adopting a Dachshund from them.
we are thrilled with this little family. thank you so much Debbie
