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

Due to concern around COVID-19, Underdog Rescue is suspending all public adoption events and community events. We are still accepting applications for available dogs but are delaying in-person meet and greets due to the ‘stay at home’ policy. Thank you for your support. 

Hello, my name is Latte and I am an adorable and healthy young adult Chihuahua.

I’m a pretty shy girl and I get very scared of loud noises and a lot of commotion, but I am working on it; I am getting braver every day and once I get to know you, I’m a little cuddle bug.

I love social gatherings with other doggies that are around the same size as I am, but I’m not so sure about those cat things as I’ve not had much time with them.  There are these other things I’ve heard of and I believe they’re called kids or children…yeah, I’m not so good with them.  They are way too loud and rambunctious for me...they scare me.  I would really love for my new furever home to have another doggie my size and some toys…especially those squeaky ones…with which I can play.  I also likes me some treats…I’m not picky either.

I’m working on doing my personal business outside, but in case of accidents my foster mom lays out these pads for me to use.  My foster mom and I are also working on getting me used to going into this super safe place she calls a crate and using this rope thing she calls a leash.  There is so much to learn, but I am smart and I just know that with patience, lots of love and support, I will be successful in all of my endeavors.  I’m just glad that my foster home has a fenced yard for me to run in, I know for sure that I will want a fenced yard at my new home too.  It’s just so much fun running around, being free, and knowing that I’m safe.

I really would love to meet you so hopefully you will come see me soon.  I promise I will be your bestest friend!

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.
