I am Opie and am new to rescue. At 4 years old and 15 pounds, I am ready to find a home to call my own.  

They say I am such a sweetheart! I LOVE to be pet and often nuzzle into the hands that pet me. I am fairly cautious right now, but feel more comfortable every day. Since I have adjusted a little, I have started running and playing, inside and outside. It is SO MUCH fun!

When my little out of shape muscles tire from all the play, I enjoy lying in the sun near the window for a nap. Or, I may play with toys, which I just learned about! They even give me a little wash cloth that I drag around the house. Aren't I a cutie?! 

I get along well with the resident siblings and the human child I live with as well. She is very gentle and patient with me and lets me approach her so I don't feel sacred. I even go to her when she calls for me! I don't mind children, as long as they can be patient and gentle with me. 

There is so much to learn in my new dog life. Overall, I go to the bathroom outside and they predict I will be potty trained soon. I still have a couple accidents, but am well on my way! I am fine in a crate for several hours and will hang out in on my own to take a break or nap.

As you can see, I am quite the gem! I am so excited to find my furever family, I hope it is you!

 

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.
