Costa – SYDNEY
Our journey to adopting Costa the Foster was an unexpected one. After the sudden loss of our beloved Coco to rapid IVDD, we found ourselves needing to find a companion very quickly for our mini-dachshund Frankie, who was grieving the loss of her bonded pair.
While looking through the DRA website, something about Costa and that sweet face spoke to me. From the moment we collected him from the incredible DRA support network, Costa settled in as though he had always been part of our family, and he’s never looked back. We are so thankful to have this gorgeous, fluffy bundle as a new best friend in our lives. Costa the Foster has found his forever home.
A massive thank you to the amazing team at DRA for giving dogs like Costa a second chance, and families like ours the missing piece of our hearts.
DRA are thrilled with this happy success story 🐾🩷
Baxter
Cheeky energetic Baxter, our long-haired mini dachshund, has found the loving home he truly deserves! From the moment his new family met him, it was clear it was meant to be. Though Baxter was a little nervous at first, he quickly warmed up, revealing his playful spirit and affectionate nature.
His new humans, absolutely love Baxters and wanted to add a dachshund who would bring life and love into their home, and Baxter delivered in spades! From daily games of fetch to long walks and cosy naps on the couch, Baxter has settled in beautifully.
To top it off, he now has 2 dachshund sibling who adores him just as much as the humans do. becoming inseparable, chasing, cuddling, and snoozing side-by-side.
We’re so thrilled for Baxter and grateful to his new family for opening their hearts. We know he’ll be cherished forever.
Dudley (4) Melbourne
Dudley very quickly settled into our family. After some initial jealosy from our princess Ruby (2.5yr old dashy) the two now get on so well. We certainly do have double the volume of barking but we are loving watching them playing together like sister and brother. Dudley loves having puppy chinos at our local, going on walks, to ovals and socialising at our wonderful dog park Parkwood. Dudley is super affectionate and lives for his food just like our Ruby does. Thank you to DRA for their support and for choosing us to welcome Dudley into our home and family.
