Mash is the kind of puppy who walks into a room and immediately starts figuring out how it works. He came in as a stray to South LA Shelter alongside his buddy Gravy, and he hasn’t slowed down since. He’s about 9 weeks old, a dachshund mix with a mostly white face, brown ears, and the spunkiest little personality. Mash is curious and friendly with every person and dog he’s met so far, and he has the sweetest zest for life. He’s all in on playtime and affection from his people, and he’s always up for a wrestle or a round of tug of war. He’s brave and loyal, he tends to take the lead, and you can already tell he’s going to be a bright one, which also means he’ll find his own fun if nobody gives him something to do. His foster sees him growing into an athletic dog who’s happiest on long walks and new adventures. He’s working on potty training and getting more comfortable in the crate every day. Mash is looking for an active home with someone who’s excited to keep up with his training and take him along on plenty of adventures.

🧠 Temperament
He’s about 9 weeks old, a dachshund mix with a mostly white face, brown ears, and the spunkiest little personality. Bold, comic and stubborn, bred to go down a badger hole alone.
🎾 Exercise
