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

Please fill out an Adult Canine Application to meet Gabrielle!

Gabrielle is new to our rescue.  She is about 3 years old and 15 pounds.   Gabby is good with other small dogs, cats, and kids.   She is crate trained, potty trained, and knows the command "sit".   She is a bit of a toy hoarder, and loves her food and treats. She would  do best with a fenced in yard, as she really enjoys running around and enjoying the sunshine.   She doesn't bark much - only when she hears other dogs barking.   She loves to snuggle, and loves all the humans she has met - even the vets! She will sleep in a kennel at night, but  loves to sleep on the bed with you.  She sleeps through the night, even during thunderstorms!   She seems to enjoy being with other dogs, h owever, if she were an only dog with lots of human attention she would love that too - more toys she wouldn't have to share.  She walks pretty well on a leash, but could use some additional leash training.   All in all, she is an amazing, sweet, energetic, snuggle pug!

Gabrielle  is a member of the brachycephalic breed and therefore has a host of health issues that may arise.  Because these dogs are new into our rescue, health issues in the future may arise that we are not aware of.  Some of these issues are allergies, eye issues, yeast infections, interdigital cysts, slipped disks in their back, breathing problems, among a host of others that can occur at any time or when seasons change. While breed experience is not required, we encourage you to thoroughly research the breed and its financial, medical, and environmental needs to be sure the breed is a good fit for you and your family.  Pugs are one of the most expensive dogs to own, maintain, and rescue and our adoption fees reflect such expenses.  The application process for pugs usually moves quite quickly as they are a popular breed, so we ask that adopters research and be prepared for adoption at the time you submit your application.  They are happy, goofy, playful characters and we are excited you are taking the first steps into rescuing one!

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.
