Keep checking back for upcoming events I will be attending!

Hi, my name is Oscar and I was born on 4/25/2016. That makes me only 3 months old of adorableness! I am also 13 pounds of cutie pie.

Cuddling and being held makes my heart so full of love. I sleep in my foster mom’s bed and insist on sleeping right next to her. I can even be found nuzzled in the crooks of necks and will make little snort noises. I love humans so much that I want to be by them all the time. I even go to work with my foster mom right now. Everyone tells me how cute I am – I think I could get used to this life of love!

Short walks are fun and running around the yard is the best. Sometimes I have small bursts of energy and then break for a quick water break before I get back in the game. I love chewing on small tennis balls and ropes. I am getting really good at fetch and respond to “thank you” and “share” when I make my return. My family even spent an entire morning with me playing fetch with sticks. They put sticks in a pile and I would fetch them out. I have never seen so many sticks! A fenced in yard would be great so that we can play in it every day! 

I am working on potty training and doing awesome! I do great on a schedule and whine in the mornings when I need to go. I understand not to jump on people and respond to “sit,” “stay,” and “down.” My foster mom is working on crate training with me and I am doing my best to hang out in there. Really, I just want to nuzzle you. But I’ll do whatever it takes to make you happy, including hanging out in a crate.

Because I love my humans so much, I get sad when they leave. Sometimes I call out for you when you’re gone, so it may be best that I don’t live somewhere with shared walls. I am so young that with some work, I think I can learn that you will always come back for me. Otherwise, I never make a peep. Except for occasional cute snorting.

Like many other Shar Pei dogs before me, I will need my adorable wrinkles cleaned regularly to keep infections away. I hope to find a family who understands this regular maintenance and will support me for the rest of my life! I promise to love you to the moon and back in return!

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.
