Oscar is new to our rescue.  He is about 4 years old and 11 pounds.  

Hello I’m Oscar. Being in a home and being around nice people is all new to me.  I am trying to take this all in and understand my current living situation. I am skittish around humans, but I do like to have my head, chin and neck petted. I’m not the least bit interested in treats and will eat meals only when I feel like it. I don’t care about toys, but I have gnawed a bit on a knuckle bone. I’m great with other dogs and pay no attention to the resident cat.

I am still working on potty training so I wear a belly band. I have not decided where I like to sleep yet.  I do not want to be in the kennel and I do not want to be cordoned off in the kitchen even with another dog. I just cannot decide what is best for me yet, but I’ll make a decision at some point.

I have not really started leash training and will freeze on a leash. The concept is so novel to me. I need time to figure that out so I will need a fenced in yard for now.  I will bark in the kennel or when my foster mom leaves the house. I will even cry a bit when she comes home. I miss her and feel anxious when she is not there. I can be fearful of loud noises too.

I feel a bond forming tightly with my person so if they are home a lot I could do well as an only dog. If they work a full-time job outside of the home I will need a canine companion to keep me company and pass the time. I need a furever home with kindness, patience, care and lots of love. With all that I know I can be the best me I can be.

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.
