Gravy would rather be on your feet than anywhere else in the house. He came in as a stray to South LA Shelter alongside his buddy Mash, and he’s been soaking up every bit of attention since. He’s about 9 weeks old, a brown and white dachshund mix with a white stripe down his face and big floppy ears. Gravy wants to be right by your side, touching you if he can manage it, and when you sit down he’ll usually park himself at your feet. He’s friendly and curious with every person and dog he’s met, loves toys and tug of war, and while he usually ends up on the bottom of the wrestling pile, he comes right back for more. In his foster home he’s joined in supervised playtime with the family’s baby, and his foster can already picture him loving life around kids. He’s a sensitive guy and a bit more of a follower, and his confidence is building a little more every day. He’s working on potty training and getting more comfortable in the crate. Gravy is looking for a home with plenty of lap time and someone who wants a shadow, because that’s exactly what he’ll be. If you are interested in adopting, head to hitlivingfoundation.org/adopt to apply. Est DOB: 09/08/2026 Adoption Fee: $800
🧠 Temperament
He’s friendly and curious with every person and dog he’s met, loves toys and tug of war, and while he usually ends up on the bottom of the wrestling…. Bold, comic and stubborn, bred to go down a badger hole alone.
🎾 Exercise
In his foster home he’s joined in supervised playtime with the family’s baby, and his foster can already picture him loving life around kids. Low to moderate — walks on flat ground and gentle play.
✂️ Grooming
Depends on coat; smooth is easy, long and wire need brushing.
🏙️ In an LA apartment
He’s working on potty training and getting more comfortable in the crate. Great apartment size.
