I am sweet Opal! I am working on adjusting to life in a home and am working hard at overcoming my shyness and fear. When I am at home, I am very friendly and like a little puppy. You can find me running in circles, jumping on people and giving kisses. And cuddling, I love cuddling! Away from the home, I am much more calm and scared, but I am working on being brave.

I recently started playing with a toy and it's pretty fun! I didn't know life could be so fun. I enjoy gathering soft things into a pile to nestle up and sleep on. I also like to drag blankets around the house. Yes, it is as cute as you imagine!

I like other small dogs like me and would like one in my furever home. I am great with other dogs, as long as they aren't in my space for too long. Otherwise, I may get annoyed and tell them I need space.

I am potty trained on a potty-pad and once I am more brave, hope to master going to the bathroom outside. Sometimes I piddle if I get scared, so I hope you can be patient with me. My foster mom is also working on the commands "sit" and "down" with me and I am doing pretty well.

I need to have a home with a fenced in yard since I am not quite leash trained yet. But you would probably like to know that I have mastered crate training! I have so many skills!

My biggest goal is to learn how to become comfortable with my surroundings and find someone to love me dearly! I really do have lots of love to give!! I hope you can give me a chance! I will fill your heart with so much love.

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:

http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/adoptionprocess/

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.
