Note: dogs must always be leashed whenever outside of a contained area
Hello all, I’m Ursa! I’m about 2 years old and settling into my new life of retirement from being a full-time mama. I have so much more freedom now and am full of energy.
My foster family is impressed with how smart I am. I'm almost potty trained and I’ve already learned some human commands such as down, kennel and leave it. As you can see, I am easily trainable and listen well. I’m working hard on my leash walking and can pull. I am just so excited to have freedom and get where I am going!
I have also discovered playing fetch. It’s just about the best thing ever! They say I’m obsessed with it. I also love to play with tennis balls and about every toy out there. My foster family has tried every toy they have and I’ve loved each and every one. Not only do I love playing with toys, I enjoy playing with other dogs, too.
I’m friendly with strangers after I give them a sniff to check them out. Stranger danger, am I right?! I have been known to bark when alarmed. Who wouldn’t? I just want to let you know I’m there.
My foster family thinks I’d make a great companion dog. With all the progress I’ve made and what I have learned so far, I think so, too!
What do you think? Are you the one to spend your days with me?
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.
