Available Dachshunds

We are an all-donation supported, all-volunteer rescue for dachshunds and dachshund mixes. We provide a home for abandoned or unwanted dachshunds on their way to finding a permanent and loving home. We focus on dogs and homes in our geographical area - Atlanta, North Georgia, and Savannah. Our adoption application.

There are thousands of rescue groups in the U.S., and probably a hundred focused on dachshunds.  We still cannot save them all.  The problem is too large:  too many breeders, too many petstores, too many puppymills. Where you get your next dog matters.  Do the math.

Help!  DREAM's vet expenses for the Waycross dogs just topped $4000...and more to come.  Can you help with a donation?

These are the dogs seized from the hoarder in Waycross, highly publicized on the news.  DREAM took 10 of them , focusing on the ones we felt were in most health risk.  Now the bills are coming due, and not all the dogs have even completed their treatments yet.  We had heartworm dogs, multiple tumors, mange, pneumonias, and other conditions.  Please help us complete our work for their well-being by donating at the "Want to Help" link above.  Thank you!

Dachshunds Looking For Homes

Dogs are not our whole lives, but they make our lives whole.  -- Roger Caras

Folks we love: Village Vets, Pets Playhouse on Ponce, Lifeline Animal Project, Ruffhouse.  We could not succeed without the help of these wonderful people, and we hope you'll consider patronizing their businesses. Big thanks as well to the Metro Atlanta Dachshund Meetup Group.  If you need fun things to do with your dachsies, join them!

Why is rescue needed?
