Success Stories

Daisy has landed on all four paws in her forever home. Placing an 8 week old puppy is challenging. Experienced owners, home with lots of patience and time to nurture a pup. DRA is very grateful Tam and family came forward for the challenge. Miss Daisy has a gorgeous Big Brother Rambo. He is besotted with his little sister. They play and wrestle 24/7. Vet visits and vaccinations out the way, Daisy has a clean bill of health. Each day she is growing and full of mischief. We looks forward to hearing more Daisy updates thriving with Rambo!

Derek and Chilli's Mum had no choice but to rehome them as she needed to relocate and couldn't take them with her. We found a great foster Mum who took them in and made them part of the family. Monique saw their picture on the web site and applied to adopt. The meet and greet went well and Monique took them home. The next day we received a message to say that they've explored the back yard... Derek's marking his territory Chilli's chilling.... they're just beautiful 🙏🤗 A couple of days later we received a message to say that they were seriously settling in really well... sleep in their crate beside my bed, only a couple accidents inside, otherwise the run out through the doggy door..... have snuggles on the couch and run around playing with each other when they get the zoomies. Needless to say they were adopted and have found a wonderful home with a loving Mum.

Mini has fitted into our family seamlessly. From day one the whole family fell in love with her. She has another Dachshund in the house in a big brother Bentley to help her settle in and show her the ropes. DRA has been amazing through the whole process and we will be forever grateful for them for bringing Mini into our lives. Thank you

Lulu sadly was also a victim of the current housing crisis, it was with a heavy heart that she was surrendered to DRA. However Lulu has adjusted well to her new home in the hinterland on acreage. Her new owners have said "It was love at first sight with Lulu, she bonded with my husband and has become his shadow. Lulu loves to hangout with her new big sister Sasha and myself on the couch at night. She loves our morning and afternoon walks and understands that putting the harness on means "FUN"! She happily goes in and out of her crate at night, usually exhausted from walking, playing and barking. She is such a sweet, loyal and very funny girl. Thank you for choosing to adopt!

Gus's new owner Grant was so keen to adopt him that he travelled interstate to pick him up. Gus enjoyed the journey to to his new home and has transitioned really well into his life with a doggy mate Chopper becoming instant mutual pals when they met. He goes straight to sleep in his bed in a pen and lays there quietly until Grant gets up in the morning. He has become great mates with the Grant's other dog a kelpie and has made himself at home on the couch at tv time. Grant works from home most of the time and, when he does have to go out, turns on the doggy cam to make sure that his two doggy mates are ok. Grant writes. "Gus is a ripper little buddy- I'm very fortunate to have had the honour to adopt him. He has slotted into my lifestyle so well and our daily walks are so beneficial for us both."

Breeze has two beautiful brothers to keep her company. They have been very welcoming. Where you see one the others are sure to follow. She is enjoying daily walks and generally being part of a family, and all that goes with it. She still has a keen ear on any fridge activity. We are all thrilled for this little pocket rocket.

Sweet Miss Maggy came into DRA and is a reminder as to how important it is for our dachshunds to be desexed. Little did we know that she was in the early stages of pregnancy to her half brother from her previous home. At just on 12months of age, the vet felt that it was a high risk pregnancy given her age and the close sibling relationship of the father, so the sad but essential decision was made to desex and terminate at the same time. Maggy is now living the dachie dream life, she has an older brother dachshund in her new home, and two amazing pawrents that have fallen in love with her completely. She loves going and watching the local soccer games and being included in all family activities now. We think that she is being spoilt just a smidge but boy does she deserve it! Thankyou for choosing to adopt...

Winnie and Blu were not getting enough attention in their previous home due to their owners increased work and family commitments, but all that has now changed where they are now much loved and cherished members of their new family. They are living the dachsie dream with a big backyard to sniff out sunny spots and of course taken on regular walks. Thanks to a wonderful family who decided to take on these two little ones who needed a new home.
