Bumpy and Franklin have been re-named Tigger and Piglet. These adorable boys found themselves in need of a new home. Their owner was unable to provide the care and attention they needed. They are now living in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges in Melbourne. Alison there adopter is a wealth of knowledge with dachshunds, having owned multiples over the years. The boys have kept her on her toes, and provided lots of entertainment and company which she missed having a dog in the house. Tigger and Piglet have met loads of wildlife the visiting magpies had them bluffed for awhile. The kookaburras in the nearby trees observing their antics. They have a huge garden to patrol and zoom around, the doggy door was mastered in days. Laura the boys former owner is very appreciative of Alison adopting and loving the boys.

This dearest darling boy Fuzzy was rescued from horrendous conditions by the RSPCA who reached out to us to rehome him. We are thrilled to report that 11 year old Fuzzy (now named Alonso) is living his best life ever. He has a new brother Ferdinand 9, a very well behaved therapy dog who has helped Alsono settle in. Alonso has definitely put his past behind him and from the moment he was collected from the RSPCA he has been thriving. He loves going for walks and drives in the car. He follows Ferdi around and they enjoy playing zoomies and chasey around the house. Alsonso has now discovered the luxury of a soft blanket and loves to snuggle in it's comfort. Alsonso is super curious he spends many hours happily sitting at the window and watching people and their dogs walk past. Thank you to his amazing new owners for giving this gorgous boy his new life.

Dash and Pippy have settled in well after a few days of getting used to us and their new world.. and have become a very important part of our family. They have become best friends with next door's ginger cat, that lives here most of the time, and he loves them.. They are totally adorable with their funny cute little ways... They love traveling and have seen kangaroos and emu's and sheep and cattle. From living a quite suburban life they have jumped full into their new life enjoying their new adventures with great enthusiasm. They met our sister and brother in-law recently who also love dachshunds and although they were greeted with a barrage of barking they soon settled down and excepted them as part of the family. Dash and Pippy are two beautiful little people with little hearts of gold, and have bought much joy and happiness into our house...we couldn't imagine not having them here with us. The DRA were very supportive and helpful throughout, with helpful hints and advice. Overall this has been a wonderful experience and one I would recommend to anyone who has room in their homes and heart for these beautiful little dogs. - everyone at DRA are overjoyed for this new little family. thank you xa

Rehoming story by Frankie (now called Fergus) by his new owners. "Nearly one year to the day that we rescued Bobby, also a DRA dog, we have now welcomed Fergus into our family. Lets just say it was love at first sight for these two pups! Our two little dachshunds are the greatest of buddieswho bring out the best in eachother. Fergus has shown Bobby how to trust young men, and Bobby is teaching Fergus not to bark at all the outside sounds around him. Fergus enjoys his days playing/snoozing with Bobby, exploring and hiding in the gardens and learning some tricks and commands from his humans. Fergus is also a big fan of car rides, going to big parks and to the beach. He is a cuddly little man with the sweetest, kindest eyes and a happy, waggling tail. Fergus has already stolen our hearts. Twice as much love and happiness! Thanks DRA and Anna for completing our family.

Due to his owners change in lifestyle Mylo wasn't being given the attention that he needed. His new owner's daughter who bought Mylo to keep her dad company writes. "Mylo came to live with my dad after the sad passing of his beloved Dachshund Max (also black and tan). Mylo didn't take long to settle into his new home life on the farm and loves being the only 'pet child' of my dad Col. Mylo gets to go to work on the farm with dad - in the airconditioned tractor where he will patiently wait for dad and never leaves his side when out and about. Mylo is described by my dad as a 'velcro' dog and has adapted very easily to his new environment. Thanks so much to Diane and team for assisting our family to adopt Mylo - he is one happy little guy!
