Success Stories

Stanley's family had been looking to adopt a dog, and by accident, the new owner found out through a work colleague that Stanley was available. They promptly applied to adopt him and decided that he would fit in very well with their lifestyle. They write. "Stanley joining our family has been one of the best experiences we could have hoped for. After a bit of a nervous start, Stanley has now settled in wonderfully displaying unconditional love and affection to us. Our two daughters absolutely adore him as he does them and has proven fiercely protective of them both. Since his arrival he has enjoyed long walks in the morning and evening - giving him the opportunity to explore and exercise, lots of cuddles and loves nothing more than sitting on the couch with the family while we watch television in the evening. We can't imagine a day now without him in our lives"

The smart and easy going pair Duke and Dolly, who were looking for a lovely garden where they could stretch their legs and bask in the sun, have found the perfect home with their new owner. These social butterflies fitted in well into their new home and have given their new owner the canine companionship that he was looking for. This lovable duo have adapted well to their new lifestyle and will continue to provide constant companionship and joy to the family who reached out to provide a loving home for them.

Bernie, the adventurous dachshund, has found his perfect home with a loving Tasmanian family. Embracing the nomadic lifestyle, Bernie now travels in a motorhome with his new best mate, exploring the beautiful landscapes of Tasmania. Life on the road suits Bernie perfectly. With the wind in his fur and a carefree attitude, he enjoys every moment of his new life. From running on sandy beaches to hiking in lush forests, Bernie’s days are filled with excitement and new discoveries. His wagging tail and joyful demeanor are constant reminders of how much he loves this adventurous lifestyle. Bernie's new family adores him, and he reciprocates with endless affection and loyalty. His story is a beautiful testament to the happiness that comes from finding a perfect match. Bernie is truly living the dream, with endless adventures and a loving family by his side.

Beatrice the adventure dog. Together with her owner they are very much social butterflies. Also, can't forget Beatrice has a fur brother that keeps her entertained. Settling is was easier than normal because the adopter is very familiar with their quicky ways. Daily walks and puppa-chinos are always on the cards. This re home was a dream.

We decided to adopt an older dog as we had a beautiful experience with our last older dog. We received our call for Albert and Dudley on my daughters birthday only to find out these beautiful boys were born on my birthday. They have settled in very well two walks a day, exploring the backyard and following me from room to room, cuddles on the lounge and using the dog door after a few mishaps. Polite when eating they have bought so much joy to our house. These dogs are such a credit to their last owner so well mannered and I thank everyone at DRA for making it a smooth process.

My successfully re-homed story is coming very soon

Beautiful Bobby with his easy going nature is happily settled into his new home on a large rural property. Bobby was rehomed together with his best friend Simba and now the boys have a new brother, Comet. Although Comet was a little spooked by their arrival they are all getting used to each other and like to play chase. Bobby enjoys his long walks around the property checking all is in order.

When DRA first called me, they said “do you feel like you’ve just won tattslotto?” 100% we have! The experience we had with DRA was second to none. The thankless hours the team put into rehoming these beautiful babes is priceless and so appreciated. No question was ever an inconvenience. Reuben has brought so much love and life into our family. Always by your feet with a waggy tail and smiling face. He was already fairly well trained, except for his pulling on the lead, most likely in a rush to find some puddles to spash through. Reuben is known to fall asleep on our laps/desk, and start snoring during Teams meetings. Loves a bit of nibble play fighting with the boys of the house but always follows it up with loads of kisses and cuddles. Reuben and our old girl Penny have become great friends and has given Penny comfort that she has missed since our Parker passed a few years ago. There’s a bit of a competition to see who gets the lap time but they’re pretty good at sharing it around between us. We are so thankful to DRA and Reuben’s previously family for allowing us to welcome in into our home. It’s like he was meant for us from the beginning. 💜

Sweet little Daisy (now Moxie) came into DRA with her mum and 6 litter siblings.  She was a tiny little girl but thanks to the care of her foster mum, she has now grown big and strong enough to be adopted.  Daisy arrived at her new home and had to endure lots of sniffs and licks from her new dachshund family who were very curious to meet such a gorgeous puppy! Daisy's new family also consists of 5 humans which means that she will always have a lap to snuggle on, plenty of tummy rubs and lots of playtime.  We know she's going to have a great life ahead of her!  Special thanks again to our amazing foster mum.
