Neva Nottingham
Adopted 12/27/13
|
Here is a picture of Neva who we adopted Dec. 27, 2013. We lost our 11 year old Pebbles about a month before our grand daughter sent us your web page to look at. We saw Neva and the wheels started turning. Her loving face and life story touched our heart and we just had to go see her. We drove to meet Neva's lovely foster family and knew she had received love and kindness for the duration of her stay there. When we saw Neva it was love at first sight.
We brought her home 2 days after Christmas and in less than 24 hours she had claimed this home as hers. We are an older couple and Neva has added a spark ...not an explosion, to our life. She is so sweet and a real "love bug." She sleeps with me at night and lays in Lyle's lap all day. We put in a doggie door and the back yard is her heaven. Squirrels, birds, neighbor's dog and occasional visit from a neighborhood cat makes good entertainment for Neva.
The three of us are the perfect match. Neva is our 6th. pet and by far the sweetest. We are all in love - Neva, my husband and me. Thank you for all the effort everyone contributed to Neva's survival, especially her lovely foster family. I know they miss her. |

Penny flying to NYC for vacation.
 
Apr 14, 2014
Penny is very happy. We made her little stairs so she doesn't hurt herself trying to jump on the chair to get up on the desk. When we went on vacation for 5 days, we left her at my friend's house where she was with another little Dachshund. She is doing awesome so I just thought y'all might like an update.
Jan 14, 2014
Penny smelling the breeze and tucked into bed. She has adjusted well to her new home and I take her on lots of walks around the neighborhood everyday. Also, we got small pebbles to replace the rocks in our yard. The small pebbles are better for Penny's little feet.

"Holley Jean Patten"
Adopted 12/21/13

Yes, we are the proud owners of Holley Jean Patten (formerly known as Shelley Schroeder). Holley is a sweet playful, loving dog. She LOVES to run and play. We are moving in March to a farm in Iowa, where the house will have a doggy door installed and she will have lots of room to play. Her nose is always to the ground when we take walks here. I can only imagine how much she will enjoy exploring the cornfields of Iowa, hunting, fishing and playing with her soon to meet dachshund cousins up there. It wouldn’t surprise me if she is seen on youtube or America's Funniest Home Videos, as she has a charming and bubbly personality and enjoys an audience. THANK YOU, for all this organization does to help dogs get a second chance. I hope all of Holley's dreams come true. Blessings! |

Miss Chloe ..... You would never guess her age!!! I love her spritely run through the yard! She starts bouncing around in the house when she needs to go outside. She is also my barker :) she loves to bark at Zero! She is also my shadow and the one that must sleep with me in the bed at night. If any dog is in the bed you can guarantee it is Chloe. Or if I put them in the couch she will crawl in my lap or nose any one out of her way to get there! She is my best one to sit and be groomed or bathed. All the girls know to come in the bathroom when it's time to be brushed. She would lay there for hours if you would brush her that long! She is still doing ok with her medicine for her trachea and her biopsy on her foot came back as nothing.
DREAM Note: Chloe's family also adopted Fiona and Courtney! |

Clyde Grimm
Adopted 12/02/13
|
Clyde was originally fostered by our family (that includes Ross and Ziggy Stardust, also adopted from Dream earlier in the year). However, I knew I was in trouble when I stopped by Natural Pawz on the way home from picking up Clyde and the young lady behind the counter commented on how Clyde already loved me so much and how I should adopt him! We made another stop at Petsmart, and random people in the store kept commenting on how much he loved me, too. So the stars were aligned on this adoption!
The icing on the cake came, however, when the rest of my children came home from college. We were playing with all three of our dachshunds, but I could see how attracted the kids were to Clyde. He literally shakes all over, his tail wagging incessantly, due to his excitement over loving us and being a part of our family! His velvety ears go back, he puts up his nose for a doggy kiss, and his eyes shine with love!
We love our Clyde and couldn't be more happy. |

Count Choco Latte
"Marshall"
Adopted 11/24/13
Deceased 05/31/25 |
With the heaviest hearts, we had to let Marshall cross the Rainbow Bridge at the end of May. We were so lucky to have had him for nearly 12 years. In 2013, when we went looking for a companion for Lily (our beagle), we knew he was the ONE when he came running to us right away with a Kong in his mouth, ready to play. Little did we know his little spirit would just keep going like the Energizer Bunny.
He brought us so much love and joy and hilarious memories. Whether it was using his ramp or the couch as a launch pad to take a leap onto Lily; or the fact that you always needed to make sure he wasn't burrowed under a blanket or the pillows on the couch before sitting down. Our little man had made all of our moves with us, from Baton Rouge to Oklahoma City to Pittsburgh to Houston and then his maiden voyage in an airplane to Guyana, South America.
He was always "Big" man in charge. He was so loved everywhere he went. We know time heals all wounds, but he will forever live on in our hearts.
We will miss you Buddy. |

Maggie Mae Zweite
"Maggie Goldapp"
Adopted 11/23/13
Deceased 09/27/22 |
Maggie was crazy smart, learning to open gates hunting down her prey. Things didn't live long in our yard. The girl was a Houdini at open doors - one minute there, the next POOF! Look up and she's sitting across the street waiting for us to bring her home. No chasing required. No trash or food was safe from her.
We're sure she thought her name was "No No Bad Dog" LOL! Maggie had great hearing for meal calls but not so much otherwise. She loved hunting for hidden treats in the house, zooming through every room looking under, over, in and between, never using her nose (probably because it took too long). Poor Steffi never had a chance! Being food driven made it easy to teach Maggie tricks and give her medical care. Camping was a big treat and one of the few times she really used her nose. Buffalo, deer, prairie dog, yum! Karl says Maggie was the boss, and he was her pack. She was always beside him on the couch and in bed.
She loved to bully Steffi, running past her with mouth wide open to nip at her, but always wanting her sister near and allowing her to sleep on top of her. Maggie wanted to be involved with everything and complained loudly when left out. She could be bossy, exhausting, entertaining, funny, loud and was so very loved!
Her body started shutting down last week and she spent her last night sleeping on Karl's chest. Dr. McCann at South 40 Veterinary Hospital helped us through the process as we let her go. She was one month shy of her 17th birthday. We're grieving but also remembering the great life we all had together for 8 years. She made our lives lively and loved us as much as we loved her. Thank you, DREAM Dachshund Rescue and her foster, Suzanne, for this precious girl! |

Cooper settled in for his last nap on Friday, June 7. He was always a good napper. Ten and a half years ago, newly obsessed with dachshunds, I went to a DREAM Rescue event to meet and potentially adopt a totally different dog, but Cooper (then named Evan Eastwick) was the dog I was meant to go home with. We were a perfectly matched pair, and what I felt for him was something I don't expect to ever feel again. Cooper, you were the best companion ever. Enjoy your nap. ❤️ |

"Molly"
Adopted 10/30/13

We were looking to add an older dog to add to our family. Our family includes Jake a 100 pound lab rescue and Darby, our mini longhaired dachshund. After choosing a 13 yr old to adopt we received a call about "Molly" a puppy found on the side of a road in Conroe. We met her and instantly knew she was ours. She had lost most of her hair to mange and had a broken tail, but to us, she was perfect. We were right. She is our perfect Molly girl. We have had her now for 3 weeks, she is so beautiful with her hair coming in nicely. Her temperament is amazing. She is so well behaved. A tiny little thing when we got her at 5 pounds she is now 7 pounds and really throwing her weight around. Ha. I can not thank you enough for our girl. We love her so much. I'll bet we say several times a day, "Who would have put this puppy on the side of the road?" I am glad that they did because otherwise we wouldn't have her. Thank you again. |

She has been with us for over a month and it feels like she's been a a part of our family forever. Bonnie gets along with our male dachshund, Weenie; they are great play mates. She is such a snuggle bug and loves her new daddy. She's quite spoiled and loves to sleep with us. I'm so happy I found DREAM and am thankful for all of Marcie's help with our adoption. |

Reggie Rainbow
"Ziggy Stardust"
Adopted 10/19/13

Just wanted to share that all is going great between Ziggy and Ross.
Ziggy encourages Ross to dash out of the house to the backyard (and Ross rushes out before he realizes "Yey, where's mom?" LOL). They constantly are interacting ... either "mock fighting", playing together (sometimes side-by-side each with their own toy), or sleeping next to one another on their own furry blankets (Ziggy loves to burrow into his, and at first I thought he had disappeared before Clay pointed out to me that there was a pair of eyes peeking out from the folds of the blanket). To fully understand how great they get along ... they even eat side-by-side and will wait patiently while the other gets a treat (knowing that he will get his treat next).
Ziggy loves getting up on the window ledge to look out. He has 2 flower boxes right outside, and a new bed in addition to his pillow. When Ross gets too possessive of toys, he also will sneak one up there all to himself! We should all be so relaxed
This could not have worked out any better. |

Just an update on Lilly Mae. She continues to thrive, has had no health issues except she lost a tooth during a cleaning session at our vet's. She still hides socks all over the place. We visited a condo we have on South Padre Island this spring and she took to the surf very well and is a good traveler. Recently her two rescue Doxie cousins stayed with us for a week ... good times but three doxies can really hog the bed at night.
There isn't much else I can say except she has brightened our lives and we are very grateful to DREAM and Gina for her.
Thanks again,

Zoey
Adopted 08/31/13
|
Zoey has finally found her forever home and her forever servants. She is the most demanding, bossy, prissy, unapologetic, ungrateful creature on the planet. If we turn our heads, she eats off our plates. If we return to the kitchen for a napkin, she drinks our coffee. You cannot spank a mini-miniature dachshund, but if you shake your finger in her face, she tosses her head and looks the other way, with her nose in the air. If you recline on the sofa exhausted to watch TV, she walks on your head. She rules the roost and she is spoiled. We all live to serve her. It is demeaning.
Then she stays with Marcie or my mother, and acts like the sweet princess (or so I am told) when she's with them. The problem is, she's ADDICTIVE. There is something about her that you can't help but want to hold and cuddle and dress up like a JonBenet Ramsey, even when she's naughty, you want to hold her and pamper her. It's ridiculous. Maybe, they're all just addictively cuddly, but the others are demonstrably appreciative for the attention and care. Zoey just expects it. |

Adopted 07/27/13

Jackson did fantastic! We could not have hoped for a better fit for us all and Jackson! After he and Doc got to know each other, they had a chase fest for about 15-20 min., running a wide track all around the house. First Jackson was chasing Doc, then Doc would reverse and chase Jackson. They were having a ball and so much fun to watch. I could tell that Doc has missed having someone to run with. They have become true friends and partners. When they got tired, they both crashed in their separate cozy beds for a nap before dinner. Doc is realizing that he is a little out of shape and Jackson will be his work out partner:-) Our Wiem, Booh, has also perked up also with the new addition. He sniffs and nuzzles Jackson but is content to lay around and watch Action Jackson and Doc play.
When my husband came home this morning, Jackson jumped up on his lap for cuddles and a nap. He has also claimed a comfy chair that looks into the kitchen because he seems to love to watch me while I cook. I started calling him Chef Jackson.So cute!!! You have done such a great job with him! |

My sweet diva girl, Ginger. I miss her, like my others, so much. She continued to play a big part for DREAM. She earned a lot of money for kisses, and participated in lots of the rescue events (kids loved her). She loved for you to throw her ball over and over and over again. I think she had my mother caught in a trance throwing her ball one evening. Her first rescuer was Judy Dietrich. Judy got her name to give her up since the kids were being mean to her and they kept her in a crate all the time. Sadly Ms. Judy passed away herself last February. I have a closet full of her dresses made by a friend in Alabama. I hope to have another sweetheart to fill those. We matched at the "Dach Around the Clock" event!! |

6/29/14 Update: We adopted Rowdy Raindrop last June. He truly lights up our life. When we took Rowdy, he was heartworm positive. After one year on heartworm meds, he tested clear at his annual two weeks ago. I almost burst into tears in the office. Such good news. |

My husband first spotted Ali on your website and he said "That looks like a good dog." I have to say, he was right! She is so loving, kind, so good with the kids, full of energy and ready to play, and super smart and trainable. After losing my doggie after 11 wonderful years, DREAM really took the time to find us the perfect pup. Thank you so much! She fits right into our happy family.
We have re-christened "Ali" as "Lettie". Lettie is a dream. So sweet, completely house-trained and crate-trained. No barking at all. She cried when I first left her with my husband and the kids to run an errand, but that was it. She loves her crate and her dog bed. She also loves her training walks and runs. She has been so good with the parade of kids we have in and out of the house. Everyone loves her, but she is MY special girl. Thanks for everything. |

Deceased 07/11/24 |
Donovan (Donnie) Darby Finelt peacefully passed away on July 11, 2024 with his loving family present. Donovan was 13 years old and was adopted by us in 2013 from DREAM Rescue.
Donovan’s life can be summed up in one word, love. Donovan was a loving dog who brought joy to whoever he met. Donovan was an AKC Therapy dog who visited LBJ Hospital, the Fort Bend 911 Call Center, several nursing homes, memory care facilities, and the Brookwood Community. He achieved the AKC Therapy Dog Excellence title, AKC Novice Trick Dog title, and AKC Canine Good Citizen title. During Donovan’s therapy dog career, he was a member of Caring Critters and Canines for Christ. When Donovan wasn’t working, he loved to travel on vacation. He visited 7 states in the South with our favorite family trip being to Asheville, NC where he rode the trolley and toured the town.
Donovan showed us what true love is. He is missed so much. The tears are still fresh but in time the wonderful memories will take their place. Thanks so much to DREAM Rescue (Marcie, Suzanne, Kayla, and Cong) for saving Donovan and providing him the care and love he needed prior to our adopting him. Thanks to Lisa and Connor at Puppy Dawgs and Cat Tails in Brenham for always providing a loving hug to Donovan and plenty of treats. A special thank you to Tom and Cindy for all the treats given out on Donovan’s walks in the neighborhood. And a very special thanks to Pat for all her expert training advice and guidance through the years. We will never forget you Donnie. You’re back home now with God and Jesus.
Love forever, ❤️

Adopted 05/25/13
Deceased 11/28/20 |
Today I said goodbye to my snuggle buddy. I knew this day was coming although I thought I would lose him to dementia, not a stroke. With the loss of his back legs and the inability to sit upright without support, he was miserable. I had hoped with a few days, he would improve but unfortunately his little body further declined. My heart is shattered and aches beyond words. I am comforted to know that he will be met at the Rainbow Bridge by Lilah, Clarence, Malcolm, Shorty, Knox and a few others. Comet will stop by to snap at him one more time. Winkie easily made human and furry friends and I am sure he is up there making some new ones. He is probably going to be starting a few bromances and put his moves into action. He will chase geckos and bunnies, take long walks and be the center of attention. Until we meet again, know that I love you and miss you Wink! You were special. |

Flynn finally left my side this past Saturday. I could tell he was suffering and ready to go. I called Lap of Love and they sent the most compassionate wonderful vet to help him pass on. I’m still crying as write this. I can assure you, your organization found Flynn the best home ever. He was so loved for so long. I would lay next to him and put ice cubes in my hand so he could lick them. My vet would always ask if he was still eating? I'd kind of chuckle and say "Of course he’s eating. I cook him fish the way he likes it and I sit next to him on the sofa and hand feed him". I still have a video of him at your Dachtoberfest. Thank you so much for doing what you all do. |

Our sweet Tucker who we adopted in 2013 passed away 10/20/24. He had developed a tumor in his abdomen. We loved him and miss him so much! Just wanted you to know and to thank you for all you do to give precious dogs to families to love and enjoy. |

Just wanted you to know Ruby is doing good. Her first day after adoption, we went to Pets Mart and bought some toys. Also visited her three cousins in Weston Lakes and they did good together. She is adjusting well and I believe she is a happy girl. We will give her a good home. Thanks! |

We started looking for adoptable dachshunds after deciding that our 4 year old, black and tan dapple doxie, Pickle, really needed a playmate to keep her company and keep her active. We fell in love with Pepper's sweet face from her pictures and decided that we would apply to adopt her. Luckily for all of us, it could not have been a better fit! Pickle and Pepper got along right away and have since become inseparable. They spend the majority of their days either playing or snuggling together. Pepper is just the sweetest, most affectionate little girl ever and our family would not be the same without her now. Thank you so much to DREAM Rescue and everyone involved in our adoption process! We couldn't be happier :) |

Rusty

I wished to take a moment and express my sincerest gratitude not only for our new family member but as well for the organization and its attention to the process. Rusty has adjusted quite well and brought a renewed energy to our home. His initial separation anxiety only underscored the love and affection that the foster family promoted during their care. Rusty is well socialized, balanced, energetic and was obviously well cared for mentally and physically. His integration into our home has been without incident and he is bonding extremely well with my elder dog Lennon.
You are to be congratulated on your organizational structure and purpose. The thoroughness and care in which you conduct the adoption process is to be commended. There is always a level of uncertainty when adopting but any hesitation I may have had quickly dissolved during the first home visit and the balance of the process was no less satisfying. Moreover, the well being of our canine friends was foremost in the hearts and minds of all concerned and at the end of the day that what it’s all about.
I wish you continued success in this worthwhile endeavor and should the need arise I am more than happy to share my experience with anyone seeking to adopt one of your canine bundles of joy.
With sincerest appreciation,
Craig J. |
