Ziva the diva! Just kidding. I'm not a diva at all! I'm a sweet little chihuahua who loves everyone and hardly makes any noise. Can you believe that? I know, there is always a stigma with chihuahuas being yappy but I am definitely not yappy at all. 

When I wag my tail, which is a lot, my whole body wiggles. I am a happy, wiggly chi chi!
I sleep in the crate at night and don't bark or go potty in there.
I'm potty pad trained and am nearly perfect at going potty outside too.
I need a little work on the leash but I happily follow you most of the time so with the right fit I'll do just fine. In the mean time a fenced yard would be helpful.
Other dogs are fine but I don't need one in my forever home.

People are my absolute favorite. Even little kids! They're all so great!
I love to cuddle and receive pets and my foster mom says I'm a "Unicorn Chihuahua," I'm not sure what it means but it sounds like fun.
If you think we can be cuddle buddies and wag it out, apply for me today!

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.
