FUN CITY DOGS — Sat, April 7 12:30pm – 2:30pm — 2213 Snelling Ave Minneapolis MN

BENTLEY'S EDINA — Fri, April 20 6pm-7:30pm — 7433 France Ave S Edina MN

Maccabee is new to our rescue.  He is about 5.5 years old and 8 pounds. 

Macabee is a very charming boy who is becoming more social every day.  He is still a little shy, but he’s really thriving on human companionship – he loves being around people! Once he gets comfortable with a person, he is very comfortable asking for treats and tummy scratches.

Macabee is very close to being house broken, and he is already crate trained. He hasn’t worked on leash training much because of the cold weather, but he has been going outside in a fully-fenced yard. His foster family thinks he should be fine going outside on a leash for potty breaks or for exercise after enough practice on a leash. Macabee is a smart boy – he also knows ‘sit’ and ‘stay’ commands. He doesn’t have any unusual barking habits – he’s really only been barking when alarmed.

Macabee has done well around kids and other dogs. He would do well in a forever home with kids of any age and would prefer to go to a home with another dog. He has not been introduced to cats yet. Macabee is so excited to find his forever home! 

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.
