Hi there!  My name is Walter!  I’m a younger adult, 30 lb Cocker Spaniel.  I’m a pretty chill guy that gets along well with almost everyone!  I like to play with other dogs, as long as they are nice, but not for too long because it gets in the way of my nap time! I am thoroughly enjoying playing fetch and hey, I’ll even bring it back to ya!  I just love the competition of chasing a ball with another dog. It’s oh so fun!

Sleeping is one of my favorite things and would love it if I could spend time sleeping next to you.  You’ll know when I’m super happy because my tiny stump tail will wag like crazy!  I love my food SO much and will even try to sneak food away from you, so you’ll need to keep an eye on me.  Mostly, I just enjoy hanging out with you while you work or watch TV.

I may have a hearing issue as I don’t react to loud noises.  I’m somewhat shy, but I’m not overly fearful of things.  I do need a fenced yard just because I can get nervous easily and am not fully leash trained yet, but I’m making great progress and doing pretty well I might add.   I’m almost completely potty trained, so a little patience and a regular schedule will keep me on track!  I haven’t been around cats or young kids, so I don’t really know how I’ll react.  I only bark when I’m welcoming people into my home, otherwise I’m a low maintenance dude.  I’m looking for my forever family and am hoping it will be you!

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.
