Keep checking back for upcoming events I will be attending!    

Hi – my name is Karen and I’m under a year old and about 4lbs and growing. My foster mom has several nick names for me including Ren, Renny Rue and I think they all mean I love you! I am a very sweet young lady, a little shy and a calm girl. I get worried with loud noises and a lot of commotion but find comfort when you pick me up and snuggle me in your arms. While I am a shy girl, I am a gentle and even let the little people in my house to pick me up. Someday I will be brave enough to play with them – I promise I’m working very hard at being brave.

Some of my favorite things to do is curl up on the bed and spend time with my foster mom – I love giving her kisses and laying by her face when we snuggle. I also like to show off and demonstrate all the ways I can roll around – watch out for my wiggle butt! I have been working on my potty training skills outside, but the world is so big and I’m shy, so sometimes skip that whole outside thing and go potty in my favorite hiding place in the house. I will need a fenced yard, because I’m not leash trained and will find a hiding spot outside too if you don’t keep a close eye on me.

If you are looking for a calm friend, willing to work with me to overcome my shyness and have lots of love please submit an application. I promise to love you with my whole heart, never let you go into a room by yourself and to always keep your lap warm.

Many of our dogs are obtained 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.
