Meet Caleb. He’s a 1 year old 8lb Yorkie. He is a happy, loving little guy. Caleb loves to travel everywhere with his foster mom. He sits nicely in her chair or in her lap when she’s at work and follows her around the office. He isn't into playing with toys or treats much yet. He does enjoy the chicken liver Bill Jack training treats though. He is learning ‘sit’, ‘down’, ‘go potty’ and ‘come’. He responds well to ‘come’. He does like to play with humans by jumping over them and hopping on their head. When his foster mom sings he likes to try to lick her.
Caleb is quite skittish with new people, loud noises, and sudden movements. He is learning people are nice and can be trusted. He does well with all friendly dogs. Caleb is quiet and doesn't make much noise at all unless he is behind a door and can hear his foster mom on the other side. He travels well in the car and does great on his daily walks. Caleb is close to being house trained when on a good schedule. He does well in the crate too.
Caleb will take some time to warm up and he will bond with a female first. He isn't fearful of men, he will come around to them, but is slower to warm up to them than females. This little boy is looking for a furever home where he can continue to learn, build confidence, and reach his full doggie potential.
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:
The first step in our process is to complete an online adoption application on our website:
Note: In most circumstances Underdog Rescue will only adopt within 60 miles of Minneapolis, MN.
All of our foster animals can be seen by appointment with an approved adoption application. Contact us at http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/contact-us/ if you have further questions.
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.
