My story

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

This little bundle of love is Cherry (in honor of her beautiful red coat). She is 9 years old and truly wants nothing more than a kind human with a warm lap to curl up on. Cherry is about 12 pounds and incredibly playful - she's never met a squeaky toy she didn't like and loves time in the yard running after her squeaky ball. Click to see a video of Cherry chasing her ball.

Cherry is a sweet soul, but she is in need of an experienced adopter because she tends to be very timid and runs from certain noises and people. Once you put your hand out and let her come to you she is a complete love bug. She wants to join in the fun and games, but needs someone who will take the time to teach her how to trust and come join the fun. She has to be on a leash or a fenced in backyard when she goes out, but of her being timid she will be very hard to catch.

If you are interested in adopting Cherry, you can fill out an application right on our website! Go to dreamhappytails.org/adoptform.shtml. Cherry 's adoption fee is $300. All adoption fees go directly to veterinary care for DREAM dachshunds. Cherry 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.
