Taco is a very happy tail-wagging little guy. He is about 6 years old and 10 pounds. He loves to cuddle up next to you on the couch and is very content just being close by. He is learning to trust people when they reach out to pick him up and is getting better day by day.
He also takes a bit to adjust so some patience the first few weeks will be necessary as he needs to work up to trusting someone new. He has a tendency to run if chased so a fenced yard would be preferable. Taco loves to be petted and is the softest little chihuahua ever!
Taco is a tiny dog with a giant personality! He loves to play with soft toys and blankets and will drag them from one room to another with excitement. He might even throw in a tail chase or two!
Taco is working on potty training but he knows to go to the bathroom when he is outside. As long as he stays on a potty schedule he rarely has accidents in the house.
Taco does amazing in his kennel at night and is quiet as a mouse. He would also do fine sleeping in bed since he loves to cuddle.
Taco
is really only vocal when he is uncomfortable or when another dog is barking. Once he is comfortable he is pretty quiet.
He will do best in a home with another dog to help him gain confidence and to learn from. That being said he does great with other dogs of all sizes as well as children. With a little more confidence Taco is sure to be an amazing companion!
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.
