My story

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

Pfeffer is a laidback little man, all 12 pounds of him. He's not demanding, bossy, barky or ill-tempered. He comes to DREAM after his elderly owner passed away. It was a big lifestyle change but this little guy has embraced his new experienced with ease!
Part of his transition was getting caught up on vetting. He recently had a dental and is now healing up nicely, and not missing those rotten tootsies at all. This little guy just keeps moving forward and takes every opportunity to get some pets and cuddle up and take some naps. Can you say “life goals”?!
He's gotten settled into his foster home and is exploring the yard and socializing with his new canine friends. Check out the pic of him soaking up the sun-eyes closed and chillaxin. Duuuuuddddeee has style.
Being a canine of advanced years, he does have challenges with his potty breaks. This is manageable using a belly band and attention to keeping him on a schedule for walks and outings in the yard.

He’s a friendly lil guy who gets along fine with everyone in the pack. His mature muscle & bones are benefitting from some laser therapy & acupuncture treatment to work on keeping his joints healthy. He's a funny little laid back longdoggo, breaking into a trot when he's excited and wagging his tail with delight. Pfeffer would be a wonderful companion for someone looking for a companion dog to snuggle up to and to share all life has to offer.

Apply to adopt Pfeffer right at our website.

If you are interested in adopting Pfeffer, you can fill out an application right on our website! Go to our online adoption application. Pfeffer's adoption fee is $350. All adoption fees go directly to veterinary care for DREAM dachshunds. Pfeffer 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.

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.
