I am Miss Fajita and I am new to rescue. I am about 3 years old and 12 pounds. Guess what, I am the life of the party! I love everyone and everything! I have the best happy dance and simply am looking for someone to love.
Do you know what it is like to have constant kisses?! If you don't, I can teach you! I love giving kisses and I love lying in a lap. I love to sleep with my foster parents and I have picked my special spot in the bed. Where you are, I want to be.
Sometimes I am nervous going to a new place, but do really well in a car and am still very happy meeting EVERYONE! I may crouch down and be submissive if someone tries to pick me up, but I think I will eventually learn that this means something good is about to happen, like cuddling!
I am great with other dogs (and cats!), though sometimes I try to get on top of the smaller dogs (under 20 lbs.). A strong pack leader would be great, so they can teach me that this isn't okay. I am actually really responsive and listen after ONE correction. Also, sometimes I will try to protect a little puppy near me by growling (like they are my baby), but again, please correct and teach me.
Playing with other dogs, stuffed toys, balls, and running up and down the stairs are all favorites! I think they clocked me going 90 miles per hour in the house once. I never got a ticket for speeding though! I am eager to please and actually may even be a good candidate for agility courses!
Being outside is wonderful, especially when it's warm. How long are these MN winters anyway? Potty training is going well and a consistent schedule is the trick. Going outside every 3-4 hours works best for me. I can hang out in a crate if necessary, though I do bark originally and then quiet down. I will bark if other dogs park or I hear/see someone unexpectedly, but it's a normal amount for a dog, definitely not excessive.
I am the happiest girl in the world and am simply looking for someone to love me forever and let me go!

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.
