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

Hello, my name is Kesi. I am a beautiful, quiet and amazingly sweet adult female Coton de Tulear. Although I am timid, anxious and fearful of loud noises and commotion, I am a very happy and silly girl. I do have a grade 2 heart murmur but that doesn't stop me!  They tell me that I have  been diagnosed with a physiological flow murmur, which is considered normal and the result of slightly faster blood flow when the heart contracts. My heart is normal in structure and function with no cardiomegaly noted. This is great news! I  know I still have a lot to learn about being a dog, but I am catching on quickly as I become more comfortable in my new life!! As a matter of fact, I’ve already learned that domestication isn’t bad! Tee, hee!!

Some of my favorite things include chewing on Greenies, Milk Bones and bone toys; nesting in my doggie beds and snuggling with mom on the couch or in bed at night. I also LOVES me some pets and if you stop petting me, I won’t hesitate to let you know, with a little nudge, that your pet-ceasing is unacceptable!! I also enjoy wiggling my butt and tail to show off how incredibly precious I am. I have not met any kids or cats, but I do fine with other doggies who are similar in size to me. I know the “come” command, but I have not had any experience with the leash so thankfully mom has a fenced yard where I can run, play and do my business. Hopefully my new home has a fenced yard too because I am a bit of a flight risk if something scares me. By the way, I should mention that I am potty trained if I’m on a good, consistent schedule but I will admit that I have had the occasional accident in the house. I try VERY hard not to have accidents but sometimes I just can’t help it so I’m really glad that mom is such a loving and patient lady who understands that I’m not having accidents on purpose!

All I need in my life now is a furever home where I can spend the rest of my life with a patient person who will love me unconditionally and will NOT give up on me! Are you ready to welcome a wonderfully silly companion into your life? I hope so because I am definitely ready to begin the next leg of my journey. I promise I am worth it, and I will love you more than all the stars in the universe!! Love, Kesi.

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.
