Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting. 

Keep checking back for upcoming events I will be attending!

Good day there human!  My name is Zelda and I am a 12 pound young adult Tibetan Terrier.  I tend to be quite a regal and shy young lady.  I do very well with other big dogs and children too!  I’m not sure about the little dogs or kitties, but only because I’ve never met any.  I also love my kennel and laying in the grass.  There is just something about the fun grass on your back as you roll in it that is relaxing, especially when it is nice and warm from the sun!  I also really like ear scratches!  Wowza, those things are amazing!!!

I tend to be a little afraid of loud noises, but I think that over time perhaps that will get better.  I am not quite potty trained yet.  I am still working on it and just know that with a little patience, I will be awesome.  I would really like to have a backyard.  Remember how I love the grass?  Well running and doing zoomies in it is just too fun for me to not have a yard.  Also, because I’m still afraid of some things I might get scared and try to run away so it will be very helpful to have a fenced in yard so that you don’t lose me and I don’t lose my way from you!  Plus, I’m not so great with using the leash.  I tend to freeze quite a bit when using it.  I am practicing and it might get better, but the yard is the best! 

I would like to have another dog in the home because I do like them and they are good for me.  I still wouldn't mind getting all of your ear scratches to myself though!!!  I don’t bark very often unless I’m in the kennel and I have to go potty.  If that happens I definitely will bark to let you know.  Anyway, that’s me in a nutshell.  I hope to meet you soon!

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.
