Hi I’m Sam! I’m a big guy with a heart of gold that just wants to be loved! Everyone I meet is my friend and I’m not ashamed to beg for their love. I lean against them and give them that look that says love me and when they stop scratching I cry for more. It always works because they laugh and scratch me some more. The smile that crosses my face when I’m getting loved melts everyone's hearts instantly. I walk well on leash and I don’t pull at all. I’m honestly a pretty easy going guy who just likes to mosey along. Even when I’m feeling playful my fastest gait is a slow lope. I do well with other dogs and just ignore them. I’m working on potty training and I’m great in a kennel.

I spent the first few years of my life as a breeder, so living in a home is pretty great, but still new to me. Those hardwood floors, particularly, are very odd to me - so slippery! My foster mom puts down rugs and that really helps me feel secure. Sliding on the hardwood makes me nervous and I tense up, so rugs or carpeted floor would be amazing until I get my sea legs on wood floors! If you are looking for a hunk to love you forever then you have come to the right place. Let’s mosey off into the sunset together!

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:

The first step in our process is to complete an online adoption application on our website:

http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/adoptionprocess/

Note: In most circumstances Underdog Rescue will only adopt within 60 miles of Minneapolis, MN.

All of our foster animals can be seen by appointment with an approved adoption application. Contact us at http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/contact-us/ if you have further questions.

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.
