The sweetest treat this Halloween? Tootsie found her forever home! 🍫 This little girl came to DREAM after her owner passed away, and we’re so happy she gets to start a new chapter with a family of her own. No tricks here, just one very sweet happy ending! Dreamrescue.org #DREAMRescueGA #DREAMAlumniClub #HappyTails #DachshundRescue #DachshundLove

Witches, ghosts, and wieners… OH MY! 👻🌭🎃 We’re getting into the Halloween spirit with a look back at our HOWL-o-Weenie 2026 costume contest! Dreamrescue.org #DREAMRescueGA #HOWLwithDREAM #DachshundLove #DachshundRescue #AtlantaDachshunds

Our sweet Zara is still waiting for her forever family, and we can’t figure out how this little nugget hasn’t been scooped up yet! Zara is an IVDD warrior who has worked incredibly hard to get back on her feet. These days, she’s walking with her signature little wobble, and when those tiny legs get tired, she’s perfectly happy to cruise around on wheels. But Zara’s real specialty? Being your shadow. If you’re sitting, she wants your lap. If you’re standing, she’d prefer you pick her up. Personal space is simply not part of her vocabulary. ❤️ Zara does need a family willing to follow a consistent potty routine and help with a quick bladder check, but her care is very manageable. In return, you get one incredibly loving, playful little girl who doesn’t let anything slow her down. 🐾 Please SHARE her story! Her perfect family might be just one share away. 🏡 Learn more and apply at dreamrescue.org #DREAMRescueGA #IVDDLife #DachshundLove #IVDDRecovery #AtlantaDogRescue

❤️ Welcome to DREAM, Wilbert. ❤️ Alright, DREAM family. We have a new little guy who could really use some love and support. So many of you reached out to us about this sweet boy who was at risk at a local animal control. This morning, one of our amazing volunteers went straight there to get him, and thanks to her, Wilbert is now safe with DREAM. We wish we could say that was the hardest part, but this little guy has quite a battle ahead of him. As you can see, Wilbert is severely underweight, and his skin is in terrible condition from flea allergies. What you can’t see is that he’s also heartworm positive, has advanced dental disease, and has two masses on his belly. His teeth are in such poor condition that he will likely need most, if not all, of them removed. We’re also concerned about the condition of his jaw. Unfortunately, Wilbert isn’t stable enough for surgery just yet. For now, our priorities are getting some good food into that tiny body, beginning his heartworm treatment, and helping him get strong enough for the medical care he needs. He’ll be reevaluated in a few weeks to determine whether he’s ready for dental surgery. And here’s what we already know about Wilbert: His name means “bright will,” and we have a feeling he’s going to live up to it. Judging by his freedom ride this morning, he’s pretty happy to be out of animal control. Now it’s our turn to show him just how good life can be. We’ve started a fundraiser to help cover Wilbert’s medical care. Between his heartworm treatment, dental needs, and the additional care ahead, we know his expenses will be significant. Welcome to DREAM, Wilbert. You’re safe now, little buddy. We’ve got you. ❤️🐾 Dreamrescue.org #DREAMRescueGA #DREAMAlumniClub #DachshundLove #GeorgiaDachshunds #DachshundRescue

Meet Patti! At just 10½ pounds, Patti has a whole lot of personality packed into that little body! This 3½-year-old IVDD warrior has been working hard in physical therapy and continues to make great progress with her mobility. When she’s not busy being a PT rockstar, Patti enjoys following her foster mom everywhere, playing fetch, giving cuddles, and performing quality control inspections on her squeaky toys. Stuffing and squeakers beware! 😂 She’s house-trained, gets along with other small dogs, and has pretty much mastered the art of being adorable. Patti’s perfect match? Someone who will continue her PT, happily throw a ball 500 times, supervise her toy destruction, and provide unlimited snuggles. ❤️ We know her forever family is out there. Help us find them! 📲 SHARE Patti and help this little girl find her happily ever after! 🐾 Learn more and apply at dreamrescue.org #DREAMRescueGA #GeorgiaDachshunds #RescueDogsGA #AdoptableDogs #DachshundLove

If there’s one thing we know about dachshunds, it’s that they don’t give up easily. Our little IVDD warrior Trixie is showing off that famous dachshund tenacity at PT, and we’re loving every bit of her progress! ❤️ And that face at the end? Pretty sure she’d like to speak to management about the lack of treats involved. 😂 Trixie is available for adoption!

Zara is a professional lap dog, expert snuggler and part-time wheelie queen. She loves being with her people and is just waiting for someone who will embrace everything that makes her uniquely Zara. ❤️ Maybe you met her at HOWL. Maybe you’re meeting her right now. Either way, help us get Zara in front of her people. 📲 Share her story or learn more at dreamrescue.org #DREAMRescueGA #WheelieWarrior #IVDDLife #DachshundLove #AdoptableGeorgia

Chrome may be missing a little hair, but he certainly isn’t missing any charm. This sweet senior is an Isabella dachshund with Color Dilution Alopecia, which has caused him to lose much of his coat. Chrome, however, couldn’t care less. He’s gentle, happy, and really just looking for the important things in life: a warm lap, plenty of snuggles, and someone to spend his golden years loving. 🥹❤️ We’re still getting to know this wonderful little guy, so stay tuned for more about Chrome! dreamrescue.org #DREAMRescueGA #DachshundRescue #SeniorDogs #DachshundLove #RescueDogs

💪 Calling all early birds with a little muscle to spare! We could use a few extra helping hands tomorrow (Sept. 26th) morning at 7:30 AM to unload our trailer and get tables and canopies set up before HOWL begins. If you’re up early and don’t mind a little lifting, we’d be so grateful for the extra muscle! Can you help? Drop us a DM or email HelpMeDream@gmail.com and let us know you’re coming!

Her perfect home is simply one that understands her needs and celebrates everything that makes Zara…well, Zara. She’d be happy as your one-and-only or with a companion around her size.
