Success Stories

It's been 3 weeks of Alfie love ❤️ . He is an absolute delight and the cutest little low rider. He loves car rides, food, walks, food, sunbaking, food, snuggles, and food. He also loves his wolfie x little bro. Best of all, he loves us too. Thank you DRA for matching us with our perfect match.

From the day Coco relocated to Canberra she has fit into our family seamlessly! It took a few days for Coco and our dachshund, Alyssa, to become besties, but now they’re inseparable and spend all of their time wrestling, giving each other kisses, napping, and getting up to mischief. Coco absolutely loves going on long walks in the Bush Capital and is always smiling and getting attention from strangers. It’s been a noisy transition from one snag to two, but it’s been so much fun watching the ‘Wien Queens‘ bond and it’s clear Coco loves her new life!

Meeting George, was love at first sight. His playful demeanor and charming personality won us over. George has a unique passion - lizard hunting! Every sunny day, he eagerly awaits backyard adventures, sniffing with glee. Although he rarely catches his prey, his joy is contagious. As evening falls, George winds down, curling up in his bed at 6 pm sharp, softly snoring within minutes. His peaceful slumber, marked by contented sighs and twitching paws, confirms George has found his forever home, where his lizard-loving heart thrives.

Good things come to those who wait, that is very true for Otis. Otis is a bundle of joy who took a bit of time to adapt to his new home and sister who is also a rescue. But with time he has become a very welcome addition to our home. He provides boundless energy and endless entertainment. His new sister Honey also took time, to adjust to sharing the attention. But now finds solace in Otis. Waiting for his next adventure she is always ready to follow his lead. We often find them having play time, moments recharging in the sun. We all look forward to more adventures together!

My successfully re-homed story is coming very soon

Marceline came from a loving home but had to be re homed due to fighting with the other dog. We had recently lost our precious sausage dog Milo after 10 years and our hearts were broken. Marceline came at the right time with her bubbly nature and filled our hearts and home with love. She is such a big part of our family now and we cannot imagine life without her 😊

First of all we would like to take this opportunity to thank Dachshund Rescue Australia. We would also like to thank Simbas precious owners who made the hard and selfless decision to re-home Simba Simba is the king of the new home His backyards is one of his new favourite places were he can lay in the sun to his heats content with his new owners watching him from different rooms in the house or from the patio. If there is no sun outside Simba does not mind with serval sunny spots inside with the sun coming through the windows. If he is not on someone’s knee he is guarding his new home from his bed! Or finding a toy to play with! At night Simba as made himself at home taking over the bed with his humans. Enjoying short walks with dad and coming home to belly rubs from mum! What more could you ask for! If anyone is thinking of adopting a dachshund we would not hesitate to recommend the process! The love and joy you will receive will be worth it!

A heartfelt surrender. With the owner prioritizing the welfare of her two beloved Dachshunds they came in for re homing. Their adopters are very experienced Dachshund owners previously adopting an older pair. In the short period of time the pair are responding to the family's routine. There is a little bit of work in regard to basic manners, but the outlook is indeed sunshine and rainbows. we are DRA couldn't be happier for this union.
