Modist

Available for Adoption — Meet Modist!

Meet Modist, an adorable Dachshund and an absolute little gentleman! Modist is friendly, curious, dapper, and full of love. He is the kind of pup who wants to be wherever his people are and would happily spend his days curled up on your lap or snuggled right beside you. He is a true cuddle-monster who loves his humans and is happiest when he can be close to them. Give him a belly rub, a cozy place to relax, and some quality time with his favorite people, and Modist is one happy boy.

Modist is relaxed and easygoing, but he also has a curious side and loves getting outside to sniff and explore. He enjoys taking in all the interesting smells around him and is working on his leash training as he learns how much fun walks and outdoor adventures can be. He also appreciates the finer things in life, like sleeping in on the weekends and finding the perfect cozy spot for a good nap. Modist has a sweet, gentle personality and is eager to be part of whatever his people are doing.

His foster home is a wonderful place for him to continue learning and growing. He is currently living with cats, dogs, backyard ducks, and teenagers, and he gets along well with all of them. He has shown that he can happily share his home with a variety of furry, feathered, and human friends. He loves being around his favorite people and would make a wonderful companion for someone who wants a loving little shadow who will be right by their side.

Modist is still working on his crate training and doesn’t particularly love going into his crate just yet, but his foster family is patiently helping him learn that the crate can be a safe and comfortable place. He is making progress and, with continued patience and positive reinforcement, he will continue to build confidence. Like any young pup, Modist is still learning, but his sweet nature and loving personality make him such a special boy.

If you’re looking for a Dachshund who will happily snuggle with you, follow you around, make you smile with his curious personality, and then settle in for a cozy nap by your side, Modist could be your perfect match. He is a loving, affectionate boy who simply wants a family of his own to adore and a forever home where he can continue to blossom. ❤️

I’m a growing puppy and I have not yet had a lot of experience with crates, kids or cats and I might bark if something alarms me, but I really love to learn and hoping for a family who will take me to a basic obedience class to continue to help me build confidence and dog skills. Ideally my forever home would need to be home during the day to help me with my potty training and not leave me for breaks longer than 3 - 4 hours. If you are looking for a best friend, please fill out the puppy application. The more info you include on the application the better so I can find a good match for my forever home. Get your toy box ready!

**Obedience classes are required when adopting this puppy from Underdog Rescue. Many of our puppies have a mama who was not properly socialized before coming to Underdog Rescue. Since coming to Underdog, this puppy has been in a socialized and loving home, but that needs to be continued with its Adopters. Training classes teach puppies the ins and outs of being a pet while creating a bond with their new Adopter. Obedience classes are key to creating a relationship with your puppy while having it be a happy and successful member of society. Proof of Obedience Class registration is required for this puppy before adoptions can be finalized. If you would like some suggestions, we would be happy to send some trainers who have experience with Underdog Rescue, but a Basic Obedience class in your area should work!
