• URBAN TAILS — Sat, December 30, 12pm – 2pm | 2106 Lyndale Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55405

I’m Tabitha. Pleased to meet you. I’m a Shiba Inu who is about 9 years old and 10 pounds. I am enthralled with exploring new environments both inside and out. I am always excited to go on walks and am figuring out how to walk politely. Although I love my walks I still love the freedom of a fenced in yard too much to not have one in my furever home.

I also adore affection from humans. I’ve discovered snuggling -- oh that’s so nice. Getting pets and attention is also wonderful. I really like having a place to call my own to hang out in, such as an open crate. Then give me a cozy blanket and I can just curl up, relax and snooze. Heaven. My favorite entertainment comes from cloth stuffed toys and bones. 

I know how to potty outside and am crate trained too. I am learning commands for ‘sit’, ‘wait’ and ‘leave it’. I am not fond of overly excited dogs as overwhelming commotion frightens me. I’d do best with smaller, more mature calm dogs who could teach me about sharing. I’m fairly quiet myself and will bark only when alarmed. Cats are strange, but interesting beings. They are so intriguing in fact that I can get a little overexcited when they are right up next to me. They are just something else to get used to.

I’m just the lady about the house figuring out this big new world and frankly, enjoying every minute of it. I have much to offer in exchange for a loving furever home to call my own.

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:

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.
