Overview

*Available as a foster-to-adopt dog* Mowgli is a charming Dachshund X with a big personality packed into a little body. With his expressive eyes and quirky ways, he's the kind of dog who bonds deeply with his people and becomes the most affectionate, cuddly companion you could hope for. He's a loyal lad who'll stick to you like Velcro - especially when there's a cosy spot on the couch and a belly rub going! Mowgli can be a little possessive of his people at first, especially when he's forming those close bonds. He may guard your attention from others initially, but with time, routine, and the right guidance, he settles well. While he's a sweetheart with those he trusts, he's not a fan of strangers and isn't shy about saying so. He'll need a patient, understanding home that can give him time and space to warm up on his terms. But once you're in his circle, you're in for life. Mowgli is also selective about his dog friends. He finds unfamiliar dogs stressful and will react with barking and lunging on walks. However, with slow, structured introductions, he can walk well alongside dogs he knows. A front-clip harness helps manage his enthusiasm on lead, and he's making steady progress. Mealtimes are a highlight of Mowgli's day - he's extremely food motivated and loves everything from tasty treats to a frozen Kong filled with peanut butter. His love for snacks has made training a breeze, and he'd thrive with someone keen to teach him a few more tricks. Mowgli does best in a calm, predictable environment with someone home often. He's not suited to long hours alone, as he forms strong attachments and can become distressed without his people around. He'd be best suited to a home with older, dog-savvy children and no other pets - or perhaps a gentle dog companion he's had time to get to know. If you're looking for an affectionate, high-loyalty little guy who'll keep your lap warm and your heart full, Mowgli might just be your perfect match.
