My personality

My story

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

Willie is 100% puppy (don’t tell him that he’s over 18 months old) and he has lots of energy! Willie is dog social and loves to play with his foster brothers exploring the fenced backyard. He enjoys taking walks and is a perfect gentleman on the leash but he gets revved up when he sees his leash knowing adventures are about to happen. As with most puppies, he is polishing his pottie training-he will use potty pads but if kept on a strict schedule, he will do his business outside. He likes to be with people and voices displeasure when left alone (ie barks) but he is getting better each day and settles down with his foster dog brothers. Unlike many dachshunds, he is Not food motivated! Willie is loving but can be shy with new people and requires time to warm up and feel comfortable on his own timeline. Once he knows you then wags and cuddles all around! He is a little shadow following his foster mom around the house. Willie is a very sweet, gentle little dog looking for a home that will give him patience, consistency and boundless love.

If you are interested in adopting Willie, you can fill out an application right on our website! Go to our online adoption application. Willie's adoption fee is $700

All adoption fees go directly to veterinary care for DREAM dachshunds. Willie 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.
