Meet Summit!

Summit is looking for his forever home! This adorable Dachshund puppy is your typical happy, playful, curious puppy with plenty of personality packed into one very cute little body.

Summit is very outgoing and social and is adjusting well to home life. He listens well and is already learning the ropes of being a good house companion. He is showing great signs of house training and currently does well going outside on a schedule.

He is also working hard on his leash skills. Summit has only had one outing so far, to Tractor Supply. He was a little timid when he first arrived and got on leash, but it didn't take long for him to relax and have a great time shopping for treats! With continued practice, we feel he'll do well going out on leash for potty breaks, walks, and exercise.

Summit is learning some basic manners and commands, including “leave it” and “drop it.” He is a smart little guy who listens well and is eager to learn.

Now, Summit does have one very important thing to tell you: he believes his humans are his personal assistants! He currently thinks dinner should be hand-delivered, thank you very much. He is working on eating independently from his dish, but who can blame him when he's this dang cute?

And then there are the ZOOMIES! Summit has some seriously wild puppy zoomies and absolutely loves showing them off. After all that puppy fun, he is more than happy to curl up for a good nap.

Summit is also an enthusiastic little investigator. Don't be fooled by those puppy eyes—nothing gets past this boy without a thorough inspection! He loves exploring his surroundings and making sure he knows what's going on.

One area we're continuing to work on is crate time. Summit does bark in his crate and can take a while to settle down, so his forever family should be prepared to continue working patiently and consistently on crate training.

Overall, Summit is a sweet, social, happy, curious puppy who is learning more every day. He has so much potential and is going to bring plenty of fun, laughter, zoomies, and puppy love to the lucky family who gets to call him theirs.

Could Summit be your forever pup? ❤️

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!

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.

T his puppy requires an application fee. This fee must be paid within 24 hours or your application will be considered void. We will not review or contact applicants that have not completed the payment portion.

Puppy Applications will be responded to within 5 business days, after receipt of the application fee. Please understand that paying the fee does not guarantee you will be approved to adopt the puppy. Our goal is place puppies in homes that are suited for their individual needs. You may be willing and able to provide a great home, but if it doesn’t meet the specific needs of the puppy, we will not approve your application.

We accept applications for puppies until we have a candidate that meets all of the requirements needed for the specific puppy and they have been contacted to review the adoption process as well as agree to all of the terms to move forward.
