My personality

My story

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

Chester and Oscar Mayer are a pair of lovely mature fellas looking for a home together.

Chester and Oscar are two of the youngest seniors their foster mom and dad have ever known. They were both surrendered when their owners could no longer care for them. They would enjoy staying with each other as they get along very well. They are both pretty chill and we feel would be fine with other dogs or together. They both respond well to recall and have not exhibited any signs of running behavior so a fence would be preferred but not required as a harness and leash walking would be fine.

Chester:
Loves to snuggle under blankets
Plays with toys - Loves to play chase with Oscar
Slightly overweight and is on a reduction plan
Enjoys walks
Gets along with small dogs, no cats or big dogs
Likes sleeping in the big bed with humans (under blanket) but will sleep in his own bed
Well house trained
Does not like crying babies on the TV-well, who does really, 😆
Loves sunny spots

Oscar:
Loves to snuggle under blankets
Not much of a toy player but does enjoy a good game of chase with Chester
Enjoys walks
Gets along with dogs (no cats)
Likes sleeping in the big bed with humans (on top of or under a blanket...changes from night to night) but will sleep in his own bed
Well house trained
Has few teeth left so requires a soft diet
Has mildly elevated liver enzymes, currently taking an inexpensive dietary supplement
Loves sunny spots


If you are interested in adopting Chester & Oscar Mayer, you can fill out an application right on our website! Go to our online adoption application. Chester & Oscar Mayer’s adoption fee is $450.

All adoption fees go directly to veterinary care for DREAM dachshunds. Chester will go to his / her new home microchipped, spayed/neutered, heartworm tested, up to date on vaccinations, and with all other medical needs addressed.

Almost every dog's veterinary expenses exceed our adoption fees; we are a non-profit.

DREAM is an all-volunteer rescue group. We focus on the metro Atlanta area and can assist throughout the state of Georgia.

Since our rescue is entirely run and staffed by volunteers, our ability to travel long distances for adoptions is somewhat limited. We focus on Georgia, but if you are in a neighboring state, we might be able to work something out - we'll expect you to do your part.

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.
