Orchid is an adorable 5 year old Shar Pei who cannot wait to find her forever home. She has a very cheerful, happy disposition and is a very content girl. She can be a bit timid at first, but once she feels comfortable, will lovingly greet you.

One of her favorite activities is going to the dog park! She's known as "Miss Congeniality" there, as she happily greets all the dogs, and loves to run and play with anyone, including humans! She loves treats, and is still learning about all that toys have to offer.

Orchid is potty trained, and will either go out just fine in a fenced in yard, or on a leash. She is a great on a leash and would be a great walking partner. She knows commands such as: "Stay", "Kennel", and "Wait" and "Outside". 

She has a light appetite, and eats slowly, so she prefers to eat in her safe spot, her kennel. She may startle at loud noises or commotion, and is looking for a family to continue to be patient and show her the loves she deserves! Could you be the family she is waiting for!?

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.
