Bruno’s story is one of resilience, hope, and second chances. At just 2 years old, this sweet boy has already been through so much—his previous family took him to the vet to be euthanized after he had suffered for months with painful bladder stones. But fate had other plans for him. A kindhearted foster stepped in, and with our support, Bruno received the lifesaving surgery he needed. Thanks to Good Dog Veterinary Care, he healed beautifully and is now a healthy, happy pup ready to start the next chapter of his life! Bruno is more than just a survivor—he’s an incredibly smart, affectionate, and loyal companion. He has been working hard with Mirror Image K9, learning new skills and proving just how eager he is to please. He’s quick to learn, loves to train, and thrives on mental stimulation. His foster family has given him the love and patience he never had before, and he has truly blossomed. Bruno is now ready to find his forever home—a family that will cherish him, love him, and give him the stability he deserves. He’s a dog that will fill your home with joy, devotion, and endless tail wags. We offer a 30-day adoption trial and full support to ensure the perfect fit! If you’re looking for a best friend who is smart, loving, and eager to be by your side, Bruno is your guy. Could you be the one to give him the happy ending he’s been waiting for?

Story
Please welcome Caspian. As his namesake from the Chronicles of Narnia, he embodies noble, handsome, and merry qualities, but requires time to flourish. He is seeking a home with a compassionate leader/guide to be his Aslan and at least one other canine to be his rockstar and bestie. He is embarking on a journey to discover a home that is his haven after living a life as a breeder. Caspian came to DREAM from a breeder who surrendered 22 dachshunds to a rural shelter. He is a gorgeous red longhair with sprinkles of white on his chest and face. The vet aged hiim at 3-5 years so those aren’t gray roots but highlights! He’s shy at first with people but warms up if you use high value treats, get on his level to earn his trust. Once he know you he will ask for belly rubs. Caspian is a prince who needs other canine friends to help him find his true, brave self. So a home with another dog is a must. This boy absolutely relishes running around the yard exploring every nook and sniffing under rocks chasing bugs and chipmunks-fence is needed to assure he gets his adventures in each day. He sleeps in bed with his foster sister and is an expert cuddle partner with all his canine friends. He is doing well house training -about 80%-and wears a belly band with pride. If you are a calm, thoughtful person looking for a dog to add to your pack on this voyage we call life, apply for Caspian today. He will surely enlighten your days and travels. If you are interested in adopting Caspian, you can fill out an application right on our website! Go to our online adoption application. Caspian's adoption fee is $650. All adoption fees go directly to veterinary care for DREAM dachshunds. Caspian 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. Follow us on Instagram , Facebook and Twitter

Story
Meet Boone, a gorgeous and super silly long haired red male, who also happens to be an IVDD survivor. He arrived with a back injury and has gone through surgery. He's still primarily paralyzed but does have some tiny movement in his legs. But don't let that fool you into thinking he's slowed down at all. HECK NO!!! This boy is a professional when it comes to scooting or asking to be carried...and he's up for just about any adventure you care to take him on. He adores the car and wants to be with his people all the time. His bladder does need to be expressed, which is ridiculously easy and not messy at all. Just a little press on his abdomen & wheeee....you're done. Let us show you how. It makes him the most perfectly house-trained dog. WIN!!! Honestly whether he walks or scoots, he's the happiest little camper ever. Mr. Social !!! He has a real zest for life and brings joy to everyone he meets. Boone does enjoy his wheelie cart but b/c he's got such good foot placement when supported, we are encouraging him to keep strengthening his leg muscles to stand. If you know DREAM, you know we never give up. Because thru dreams, most anything is possible. Well almost anything....just not cats for Boone. He thinks they are toys and he will not stop chasing them. Unfortunately, he will annoy the heck out of the cats. DREAM has helped dogs of all capability levels and we believe this guy is really easy to care for. Resource material is available for you to order as well. One of the original board members wrote this extremely helpful book about day to day life with a "down dog".... Honey Have You Squeezed the Dachshund. If you are interested in adopting Boone, you can fill out an application right on our website! Go to our online adoption application. Boone's adoption fee is $350. All adoption fees go directly to veterinary care for DREAM dachshunds. Boone will go to his / her new home microchipped, altered, heartworm tested, up to date on vaccinations, and with all other medical needs addressed. Almost every dog's veterinary expense is greater than our adoption fees. DREAM is an all-volunteer rescue group. We focus on the metro Atlanta area and can assist throughout the state of Georgia.
