Reba is a special pup and needs a lot of TLC. She is about 4 years old and weighs about 23 pounds.
This special girl is looking for a home where she can feel safe and secure, so that she can come out of her shell and be the dog she is supposed to be. Currently, she is very timid and fearful, especially of men, and her foster home is working with her on her bravery skills. Her crate door is left open when people are home and she prefers to stay in it until it’s time to go outside.
Despite some of her fears, she is great with all dogs and will need another fur sibling in her furever home to help her gain confidence and know she is safe. She can even be playful with them and LOVES to run around with her friends. She is also good with cats.
Reba is crate trained and working on her housebreaking skills. She uses a fenced in yard to do her business and has not started working on leash training yet. One way to help train her is to offer treats. She adores food and is currently under weight, so she gets lots of treats, which she thoroughly enjoys! She is quiet as can be and never barks.
We know there is a pup waiting to break through and accept all the love a family can give. Just the right patient home will help her learn what the good life is all about. Can you help her do that?
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.
