Hi friends, the name is Ace. I am about a year old and 24 pounds and a lean mean muscle-y machine! I am an active guy so would love a forever home with a fence that can let me run and get my energy out.
I am working on my potty training and promise to keep getting better. I would love it if you could help me with crate training and were home for parts of the day to help me get settled in. I lived in a cage for the first year of my life, so going back in one isn't sounding super fun at the moment. If you can help me with this and show me you will come home everyday, that would be helpful.
Due to my activity levels, a home without young kids would be best, probably 13 years of age and up. I love to snuggle and am told I am quite handsome, I can't argue with these humans on that! I would love it if you could take me to an obedience class and teach me some tricks, I really think I would learn a lot of them and be an all-star student.
I respond best to humans that are strong pack leaders as I like to be the head dog in charge, but I'm learning I get in less trouble when I listen and have set boundaries. Also, I love treats. And humans. And playing with other dogs. And being free! Wouldya fill out an application today on the Underdog website so we can meet and I can give you some kisses? Hope to see you soon - woof!
Many of our dogs are rescued from commercial breeders where they spent their lives getting comfort from their canine friends. In turn, most require another companion dog in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog, and do not currently have a dog residing with you, please understand that your home might not be the right fit for many of our dogs.

ADOPTION EVENTS:
Adoption events are updated at the top of each dogs animals' as their foster home signs up. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. If an event is not listed within their bio above, the animal is not planning to attend. Please understand that all of our pets are in volunteer foster homes and sometimes "life" happens and the foster family cannot make it to their scheduled adoption event. If you are traveling from a far distance to meet a specific animal, please understand we cannot guarantee event attendance. We recommend filling out an application and we will set up a private appointment. Private appointments are only scheduled after an application is submitted and approved.
ADOPTION PROCEDURE:
The first step in our process is to complete an online adoption application on our website:
Note: In most circumstances Underdog Rescue will only adopt within 60 miles of Minneapolis, MN.
All of our foster animals can be seen by appointment with an approved adoption application. Contact us at http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/contact-us/ if you have further questions.
FOSTER CARE:
All of our animals are fostered in individual homes or doggie daycare facilities. While they are in our care, they are part of our families and given lots of love. We work on training, crate-training and socialization prior to adoption, but each bio is written by the foster as they see them, in their home. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality, but it cannot be guaranteed. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves in time and with patience. If you have an interest and ability to be a foster home, please visit our website www.underdogrescuemn.com/foster-applications and fill out a foster application.
NUTRITION:
Nutrition is vital to the rehabilitation and life-long health of our pets. All of our foster animals are fed a premium diet such as NutriSource, Canidae, Orijen, Nature's Variety, Fromm, Pure Vita, Stella and Chewy's, Primal, or balanced raw diet. All adopters are required to continue providing premium diets for the life of the animal.
