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

Please fill out a puppy application to meet Oats: https://underdogrescuemn.com/adoptionprocess/puppy-adoptions/      

Hi!  I'm Oates.  I'm super cute and a bundle of fun.  I would describe myself as energetic.  What can I say?  I like to be fast!  I love to run around and grab toys to play with.  I'll also run and jump on the furniture because I'm king of the mountain! 

I'm new here so I'm learning about potty, kennel and leash training - since I'm a young guy, this will all need to be worked on in my forever home with consistency, training, and a good schedule.  I'm good with all dogs that I have met and could be an only dog in my forever home if my family is home enough to love up on me. It is preferred that my forever home would not work 8+ hours a day straight as I am still a young guy.  I would LOVE a basic obedience class to continue showing me how to be a good boy and learn new tricks!  Due to my energy and training needs, a family with kids elementary aged and older is preferred.

I'm totally a professional when it comes to kisses though.  I'll wait for some scratches too.  Those are nice.  If you are looking for a funny guy to make you laugh and smile every day then here I am!  What are you waiting for?  Hurry up and apply for me!

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.

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.
