Preston was adopted by a wonderful couple who had recently lost a beloved dachshund to illness and old age. Their remaining dachshund was missing his companion, and so were the couple.

They are delighted with their new companion, and we are so happy that Preston found this wonderful home.

Wrangler has found his forever home! What a beautiful Thanksgiving gift - to know that this sweet dog is in a home where he is loved and cherished. A couple who had another young dachshund had spotted Wrangler's picture online and were sure "he was the one". After we met the couple.....we knew they were the right home for this dog! This holiday season, it warms our hearts to know that Wrangler will be sharing the season with his new family and their friends.

Lexi found a home with a charming couple and their dachshund Molly. They spotted Lexi's picture on our site and were sure she was "the one" and when we met them....we knew this was the right home for Lexi. We have already received a nice update from her new family. They say "Lexi has been great...we all sleep together at night, and our Molly is already happier having a new dachshund friend. We are looking forward to many happy years with both our girls!" What more can we say? This is what our volunteers and vet staff work for....to find the right home for a dog, and the right dog for a home! Hurrah for Miss Lexi!

Penny (Canela) was adopted by a lovely mother and daughter who had recently lost a beloved dachshund due to advanced old age.

Lucky Penny will get to go camping with her new family, and they are already planning their annual trip to cut down their own Christmas tree--and of course Penny will be included in this family activity! We thank her new owners for looking to adoption as a way to add a dachshund to their home, and we thank Penny's foster mom for her loving care of this dog until the right home came along.

We had many people interested in
Hogan,
but when this couple came along we knew they would be the perfect home. They already had adopted a dog from another rescue group, and are experienced pet owners. They report that Hogan enjoys gathering leaves and other items from the yard and bringing them in to the house to add to their decor! He loves to go on walks with his new family and has quickly picked up on their routine. We are thrilled that Hogan found such a great home!

We are thrilled that
Gabby found a new home so quickly. Her new owners are experienced dachshund people, and they report that Gabby is a "little princess" and gets along well with their other dogs. She even attended Sunday School with her new owners. That has to be a rescue "first"! Of course, she was a hit there as well. What a joy to know that Gabby has found a home with people who understand dachshunds and have love and patience to spare. In return, Miss Gabby will repay them with a lifetime of love and devotion. How about that!

Sydney was adopted by a wonderful individual who had had dachshunds in the past. She was seeking a dog that could be an only dog and Sydney fit the bill.

Sydney is keeping the squirrel and gecko population at bay in her new home and takes great pride in this job. We are so happy that Sydney has a new home!

Rocket, aka Rocky, has found a wonderful home with a couple who have been long time dachshund owners. They lost a beloved companion a few years ago, and were ready to welcome a new dachshund friend into their home.

We were thrilled when a wonderful former adopter came forward and expressed interest in
Travis (now named Lucky). After she met him, she knew he was "the one" and now he makes his home with two other dachshunds. One of his new buddies loves to play, so Lucky is thrilled to have a companion that likes to run and chase. Lucky lives up to his name, since he narrowly missed being euthanized at an area animal shelter. Hurrah for his new life! And many thanks to his great adopter who has given him that new life.

Fargo was adopted by previous DFWDR adopters. They were ready for a fun, active companion for their
Teddy and Fargo fit the bill! We're told that Fargo loves his walks and that his favorite activity is hunting squirrels!

His new owners love Fargo's affectionate nature and it is great to know that this formerly abandoned dog finally has the forever home that he deserves.

Charlie Boy has been adopted by long time, experienced dog owners. They have several larger dogs, and Charlie loves playing with the "big guys". His new owners had fostered for a large breed rescue group and were used to dogs with many health and behavioral issues. They report "Charlie is the easiest dog that has ever come in to our home and he's smart too!" We're glad to hear it! This adoption warms our heart; to know that Charlie Boy went from an abused, frightened stray dog to a loving, happy companion. And he may even get to try out agility and other dog performance events. His future looks bright!

Frankie Valli, to a wonderful home with a couple who were experienced dog owners. The two dogs love playing with each other and with their new owners.

Sadie Sue was adopted on Independence Day, which we think is rather fitting for a rescue dog! She joined a household that already has another dachshund adopted from our organization. They had been wanting a female longhair dachshund, and Sadie Sue was perfect for them. With Sadie Sue's energy and intelligence, she would make a good agility dog and her new owners are considering this activity for her, which is great. This beautiful girl now has a permanent home where she will always be loved.

Vegas was adopted by a delightful young couple who already had two other standard smooth dachshunds. They were looking for a third companion, and Vegas was just what they were looking for. A lot of people forget that dachshunds come in two sizes: standard and miniature. There is so much focus on miniature dachshunds that often people don't realize what great companions the standard dachshunds can be. This couple already knew that and we are delighted that Vegas has found a permanent home with them.

We have already received wonderful reports about this little dog and his activities in his new home.

Duncan has a new home! Former adopters were ready for a second dog, and Duncan has joined
Razz in their household. The two dogs enjoy playing with each other and playing with the family members. They are the "just right" pair of dogs for this household.

Happy news!
Romo was adopted by a couple with another female dachshund who was longing for a friend and playmate. When we took Romo for a visit, he and their female dachshund immediately took to each other. In terms of appearance and personality, they almost seemed like long lost twins! We've already received pictures of the two dogs playing together and just hanging out. What a wonderful new life, for a little dog who was found originally as a half starved stray!

Barton, to share her new home. Hurrah for Zoey!

Willow (now named Cleo) has settled into her new home quite well. She now lives with a couple who had another middle aged dachshund, so Willow's mellow energy level and personality was a perfect match. They feel as though Willow has always been there, and we do too! It is a special joy when an older rescue dog finds a forever home and we sleep well at night knowing she is now an adored companion.
|
|
Journey (now named Jackson) has found a wonderful new home with a delightful family. This is their first dog and they put lots of thought into preparing for pet ownership.

His family is interested in pursuing agility training down the road, and we will help them find options for that. Hurrah for Journey!

Walker found a fabulous home with a couple who were thrilled to get such a handsome, loving dachshund. His new owners are delighted to have such a fine companion and Walker enjoys walks with them in the lovely park near his new home. He'll never have to worry about being abandoned or allowed to run loose in streets. He found a home so quickly that he did not get to have his formal photos taken!

Frieda, now named Ginger, was adopted by a wonderful family who had been seeking a loving, dachshund companion.

What a great new life for this sweet girl!

We look forward to hearing about Razz's new life and the fun activities he will do with his new family.
