HOWL

No tricks, just treats… and a few little monsters looking for forever homes! Meet the DREAM Boo Crew! They’ve got the costumes, the cute faces, and just enough dachshund attitude to keep things interesting. The only thing missing? A family to call their own! ❤️ Help our little monsters find their people! Share this post or meet our adoptable pups at dreamrescue.org. Happy HOWL-oween! 🎃 #DREAMRescueGA #DachshundRescue #AdoptableDogs #HalloweenDogs #AtlantaDogRescue

Forget ghosts and goblins…the real Halloween scare is a dachshund making a break for it when the door opens. With trick-or-treaters coming and going Saturday night, keep your little escape artists safely away from the front door. A baby gate, closed room, or secure barrier can save everyone a BIG scare! Stay safe and have a happy HOWL-oween! 🎃 Dreamrescue.org #DREAMRescueGA #HalloweenPetSafety #DachshundLife #DogSafety #AtlantaDachshunds

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

Couldn’t make it to HOWL? Or didn’t find your size or favorite color? We’ve got you covered! Our official HOWL 2026 collection is STILL available through Bonfire, with multiple colors in short sleeves, long sleeves, sweatshirts and hoodies! 🐾 ALL proceeds go directly toward medical expenses for our foster dogs. So go ahead and treat yourself. After all, spooky season is still going strong, and it’s always a good time to support rescue! 🎃 🛍️ Shop here: https://www.bonfire.com/howl-o-weenie-2026/ 📱 Instagram: Link in our bio. #HOWLwithDREAM #DREAMDachshundRescue #SupportDachshundRescue #DunwoodyGA #AtlantaDachshunds

The HOWL-o-Weenie Howling Contest never disappoints! We had some serious talent this year, but you know we had to save the reigning champ, Bodhi, for last! 🏆🐾 @ddandthedude Dreamrescue.org #HOWLwithDREAM #DREAMRescueGA #DachshundLove #DachshundRescue #AtlantaDogs

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

Did you leave HOWL missing a little something? 👀 We found a bag with a few purchased items inside and would love to get them back to their owner! If you think they’re yours, send us a DM and tell us what was in the bag so we can make sure they make their way home.

We’ve been having so much fun looking back through the photos from HOWL. Our Google Photos album has pics from throughout the day, and there’s plenty of room for yours too!

Today’s the day! 🎃 HOWL-o-Weenie 2026 is finally here! Grab your dachshund (or honorary ween) and come spend the day with us. We can’t wait to see you at HOWL! 📅 Today, Saturday, September 26 ⏰ 11 AM–3 PM 📍 Brook Run Park, Dunwoody, GA Dreamrescue.org #HOWLwithDREAM #DREAMRescueGA #DachshundLife #AtlantaDogs #AtlantaDachshunds

Just a little peek at what’s waiting for you tomorrow… 👀 Our silent auction is packed with some pretty amazing goodies. Come ready to browse, bid, and maybe take home a favorite (or two)! 🎃 HOWL-o-Weenie 2026 📅 Saturday, September 26 ⏰ 11 AM–3 PM 📍 Brook Run Park, Dunwoody, GA Dreamrescue.org #DreamRescueGA #DreamAlumniClub #AtlantaDogEvents #GeorgiaDachshunds #DachshundRescueGA

💪 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!

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

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

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! Learn more at dreamrescue.org 🐾 #DREAMRescueGA #IVDDWarrior #IVDDRecovery #DachshundLove #DachshundRescue

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

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
