DREAM Rescue Essentials

Well, that didn’t take long… Dayzi Mae (L), now Dolly, came to DREAM after being found as a stray and she barely had time to unpack before finding her forever family! 🏡 Happy tails, Dolly! You’re officially a DREAM alum! ❤️ #DREAMRescueGA #DREAMAlumniClub #HappyTails #DachshundRescue #ForeverHome

Meet Trixie! This sweet little IVDD warrior has come a long way since arriving at DREAM unable to walk. After surgery, she’s getting back on her paws and showing us just how determined she can be! But don’t let that sweet face fool you. Trixie has opinions, and she’s not afraid to share them. 😂 Usually something along the lines of “rub my belly” or “where are my treats?” She loves her toys, cuddling with her foster mom, and making sure she’s the center of attention. She gets along with other dogs but would be perfectly happy being someone’s one and only! Trixie is looking for a home with no children under 12, a family willing to support her continued recovery, and someone who doesn’t mind providing a little extra reassurance during thunderstorms. She’s got so much love to give. Now she just needs someone to give it to! 🐾 Help us find Trixie’s people! SHARE her story or learn more and apply at dreamrescue.org #DREAMRescueGA #DachshundRescue #IVDDWarrior #AdoptableDogs #AtlantaDogRescue

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

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!

Our sweet senior Boscoe is HOME! This little guy has been through quite a bit during his time with DREAM, including a very scary medical emergency that had all of us holding our breath. But Boscoe fought his way back, returned to foster life, and got back to doing what he does best: snuggling his people. And now this smart little Houdini and expert cuddle buddy has something even better… His very own forever family. 🏡 Happy tails, Boscoe! After everything, we couldn’t be happier to say you’re HOME. ❤️ Dreamrescue.org #DREAMRescueGA #DREAMAlumniClub #HappyTails #DachshundRescue #ForeverHome

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

If you were at HOWL last weekend, you may have spotted Zara greeting everyone at our Wheelie Warrior tent or showing off her courage as the Cowardly Lion in the costume contest. 🦁 Our sweet little IVDD warrior is still searching for her forever home, and we just know the right family is out there looking for her too. 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

The cones are questionable. The goggles are fabulous. The patients can be a little dramatic. 😂 But our vet techs? Absolutely amazing. Happy National Veterinary Technician Week to the wonderful humans who put up with all the dachshund drama and keep our DREAM dogs in good hands! ❤️ Dreamrescue.org #DREAMRescueGA #VetTechWeek #NationalVetTechWeek #DachshundRescue #ThankYouVetTechs

Today we’re sharing another long timer who is still looking for her forever home. ❤️ Meet Zara. Our little IVDD warrior still walks with her signature wobble, and when those little legs get tired, she happily cruises around in her wheels. She also needs a little help with potty time, but none of that slows this girl down. 🐾 Zara is full of cuddles and would happily spend 24/7 by your side. 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. We KNOW Zara’s people are out there. Please SHARE and help us find them! dreamrescue.org #DREAMRescueGA #DachshundLove #IVDDLife #WheelieWarriors #DachshundRescue

Patti is still waiting for her forever family! She 3½ years old and is an IVDD warrior who has been working hard on her recovery (and doing great). Patti is sweet, loving, house-trained, has excellent recall, and gets along beautifully with other small dogs. Basically, she’s got the whole package. ❤️ Her ideal family will continue her physical therapy and, most importantly, appreciate a girl who takes her games of fetch VERY seriously! 🎾 📲 Learn more about Patti and apply at dreamrescue.org. #DREAMRescueGA #AdoptableDachshunds #GeorgiaDachshunds #IVDDRecovery #DachshundLove

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
