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!

Hi there.  My name is Dane.  Are you a hooman?  I’m a Maltipoo.  I weigh 7 pounds.  How much do you weigh?  I’m a baby still, are you a baby still too?  My foster parents tell me I should tell you a little bit about myself , so you can get to know me.  You should know that I am a very sweet, loving, playful little guy if I do say so myself!  (My foster parents agree completely!)  I love to play with my brother and my foster brother.  Although to be honest, I love my brother the mostest.  We like to run and chase and wrestle.  I also really like toys.  I am also the sweetest little cuddler ever.  I just absolutely love to be with my people.  Do you like to cuddle?  I also like to follow you around the house too—you know, in case you have a second or two to cuddle! 

I’m learning every day about the potty training thing.  I use a potty pad sometimes and also go outside sometimes too.  If I’m on a good schedule, I tend to do well.  And I’m learning “go potty” which is good too, huh?  I also do well at night in the crate with my brother.  I can make it all through the whole night isn’t that awesome?  I’m not in the crate other than at night, so I’m not sure how that would be if I were in it more. 

Although I do like the yard, I am learning about the leash too, so I don’t necessarily need a fenced in yard.  I do like the walkies though.  And to be honest, sometimes I will bite and pull on the leash, but it gets better every day, so I just know that soon I’ll be a leash expert. 

I met a cat once at the vet.  I did not like it.  I haven’t met small hoomans, but if they’re nice and like to cuddle it might be okay.  I do really like doggies though.  I absolutely love playing and being with my brother so I will definitely need another doggie in my furever family.  I’ve only been around doggies my same sort of size but I’m open to meeting others. 

So far, I only really bark to warn you that there are people at the door.  I hear that you have to be careful, so I want to make sure I can take care of you—that’s what families do, right? 

Overall, my foster parents tell me I’m a great little guy who is going to bring loads of love and joy into someone’s life.  So, if you feel lucky, then maybe I’m the one for you!  I cannot wait to meet you and learn more about you!  

This puppy requires an application fee. This fee must be paid within 24 hours or your application will be considered void.    We will not review or contact applicants that have not completed the payment portion.

Puppy Applications will be responded to within 5 business days, after receipt of the application fee.  Please understand that paying the fee does not guarantee you will be approved to adopt the puppy. Our goal is place puppies in homes that are suited for their individual needs. You may be willing and able to provide a great home, but if it doesn’t meet the specific needs of the puppy, we will not approve your application.

We accept applications for puppies until we have a candidate that meets all of the requirements needed for the specific puppy and they have been contacted to review the adoption process as well as agree to all of the terms to move forward.

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.
