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!

If the fancy dog shows on TV gave out ribbons for "Best Wiggle Butt," our buddy Otto would be a serious contender. Give him a reason to get excited and Otto throws all 10lbs of his weight into getting that little tail going. It is so stinking cute. 

So, what gets that happy tail wagging? Your time, attention, and cuddles that’s what.  If you're looking for a true companion who will be by your side throughout the day, you've found him in Otto. There’s nothing this boy loves more than snuggling up for some quality belly rubs.

Otto has a good time playing with his foster sibling and we think he'd do really well with another dog in his forever home. We know he's especially comfortable with other small dogs and could do just fine with dogs of all sizes – there just hasn’t been an opportunity to test that out, yet.  Otto is currently working on potty training and walking on a leash. After a long day of cuddles and fun, he enjoys snoozing in his crate through the night. He's got to rest up for whatever the next day brings!

Otto will bring a lot of joy and wiggles to his forever home. If that sounds pretty perfect to you, plan to meet him at an upcoming adoption event or contact us for a private meeting.

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.
