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!

Hello, my name is Ada and I am an adorable healthy adult Miniature Schnauzer who absolutely loves to snuggle and get attention…though I am above begging for attention.  That said, I am not above begging for food.  I enjoy being brushed, groomed, and having my nails trimmed.

I would have to say that my favorite things are snuggling and food…what a perfect world it would be if we could just snuggle and eat all day!  My foster mom says I’m doing better each day and I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t mind being in the kennel during the day…I don’t even have accidents in there during the day, but sometimes I might have an accident if my peeps are home and I’m in the kennel…it’s just my way of saying to them…”look, if you are home there is no reason for me to be in this cave, I should be out with you enjoying life!”  I don’t know if they get it though.  Other than that I’m doing well with potty training and if I get on a good schedule and have the support of a patient human working with me, I am fully confident that I will master it.

I do well with other dogs…as a matter of fact, I have some doggie foster sibs that I really like having around and it would be great if my furever home had another doggie for me to play with, learn from, and who will help me feel safe.  I also do well with kiddies but have no experience with kitties, so I don’t know how I’d do with them, but I’m always up for a challenge.  If my foster mom says it’s safe and okay, I guess I’d be willing to meet one.  I suppose someone should equip me with a facemask though in case it wants to whack me in the face…just a thought!

After some dental work I am now toothless, but I still play with toys and even chew on antlers...it kind of feels good on the gums…much like it was when I was teething.  I enjoy borrowing toddler socks & toys to gnaw on, but since I don’t have teeth I cannot harm them.  I have learned to do pretty well with that leash thing…I know it’s for my safety, so I have just given in to it really.  My foster mom and I go for walks every day, which not only has helped me get more comfortable with the leash, but it also helps me learn to do my personal business outside.

My foster mom says I’m “lazy but spunky” she just doesn’t understand that my alleged “laziness” is just my way of letting her know how comfortable I am with her…after all, you really have to be comfortable with someone in order to just lay around and do nothing…am I right?

I am patiently waiting to go to my furever home so PLEASE hurry and come get me; I have so much unconditional love to share with you! I promise you won’t regret it.

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.
