Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting. 

Heyo! My name is Lance. I am 1 year young and weigh in at 20 pounds.

I have so much to tell you! I am a playful, friendly, and curious boy! I love to be outside in my yard or the pasture and woods I live near. Playing chase with the resident dogs is the highlight of my day. Oh! And walks are the best! There is so much to smell and see. Car rides are super fun too! I want to look out the window and watch the world.

I am a little shy at first and would love to have another dog in the house. This will help me adjust much more quickly to home life AND I could be a really great play mate for the dog you already have, especially if they are around my size. Because I'm a little shy I would like a home without small children. They make me a little nervous. I like older kids though! I am learning to go to the bathroom outside and am trying my best to alert my family when I need to go. Sometimes I get distracted by morning zoomies with the other dogs and need to re-focus. There are horses and chickens where I live and it’s fun to watch them. I used to enjoy barking at them, but now I don’t bark much since I am used to them. I am simply trying to become a chicken by making the same noises they make, but no luck so far. I am also great with cats!

Inside the house, I like to lie in my crate while my family eats or watches the television. It is my special place and I even have another crate in the bedroom I hang out in if my family is sleeping. I would love to have a special place in my forever home. A nice little bed with maybe a toy or two, sounds like heaven!

My foster mom says I am a fun little dog and will make the best friend for someone who is patient while I continue to learn how great it is to be a loved and cherished family member. I would love to come home with you and warm your heart!

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:

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.
