Harriet

Description

Meet Harriet! Oh hello! I’m Harriet, a sweet and loving Dachshund who believes life is best enjoyed with snackies, sniffing adventures, and plenty of couch cuddles! I love exploring and following my humans around the house. If you’re looking for a little shadow who will happily keep you company, I might be your girl. My favorite place to be is curled up in a lap, snoozing away after a good day of sniffing and snacking. I’m comfortable coexisting with other animals and do great with dog-friendly dogs. I’m also currently in a foster home with young children, and I’ve done a wonderful job going with the flow. I can be cautious when meeting new people and may take a little extra time to warm up—especially with men—but once I figure out that you’re nice, I’m happy to become your cuddle buddy. I’m a very food-motivated girl, which is helping me learn all sorts of things! I’m working on my leash skills and should do well with continued practice and regular leash walks for potty breaks and exercise. I’m not quite fully potty trained yet, but I’m very close when I’m kept on a good schedule. I’m also continuing to work on crate training. I don’t need a fenced yard and could potentially be a wonderful apartment dog with continued training and a consistent routine. My ideal home would have humans who are home much of the time and can give me the companionship I love. In return, I promise to provide plenty of affection, entertainment, and excellent couch-snuggling services. All I really need is a loving lap to snooze in, some snackies to keep me motivated, and lots of interesting smells to sniff. ❤️ Could you be my forever family? Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.    ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***
