My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Zeke is a sweet senior boy who was picked up as a stray. As you can see from the last photo, he was not in the best of shape when he first came to DREAM. Zeke does have some special needs. He has very little sight (can see shadows/bright light and movement if it is close to him) and he doesn't hear very well. Zeke also has a 6 out of 6 heart murmur so is on medication for that. Like many dachshunds, Zeke's teeth are in bad shape. DREAM's vets are monitoring his other medical issues and evaluating as to whether it is safe to put Zeke under anesthesia. In the meantime, Zeke is enjoying good food and lots of love in his foster home. Like most seniors, Zeke sleeps a lot but when he is up, he enjoys exploring and wags his tail a lot when he finds a person to pet him and let him know he is safe.

If you are interested in adopting Zeke, you can fill out an application right on our website! Go to dreamhappytails.org/adoptform.shtml. Zeke 's adoption fee is $225. All adoption fees go directly to veterinary care for DREAM dachshunds. Zeke will go to his/her new home microchipped, altered, heartworm tested, and up to date on vaccinations. Most dogs' veterinary expenses are greater than our adoption fees.

DREAM is an all-volunteer rescue group, and we focus on the Atlanta, North Georgia and Savannah area. Because we are all volunteers, we can consider applications only within an hour of these areas. DREAM does not recommend purebred dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a doxie's back.
