Hello, my name is Babette, and I am a gorgeous, goofy, playful Standard Poodle. I am 4 years old and weigh about 55 lbs. My main goal in life is to find a family that wants to cuddle and play with me! Oh how I love creating strong bonds with the humans (adults and kiddos) in my life! I will even give you hugs and nuzzle my face into you to show you how much I love you.
Foster mom says I am very smart. I know the commands "sit" and "lay down". I am also crate trained, so I can stay safe when my family has to leave the house. I may have an accident or two while transitioning to my new home, but once I'm used to the new schedule, I'll be a master at that too! I do have a lot of energy. I am a master leash walker, so long walks are great! Or romping around in a fenced area. I do love all other dogs as well, but I am not good with chickens or cats. I'm sure they are meant to be chased, but no one else agrees.
Some other things I love are sleeping in your bed, getting pets, getting more pets and making sure you never stop, and following you around the house. Basically, I'll be your number one fan!
I so want to find my perfect family. Could it be you!?
Some of our dogs are obtained from commercial breeders where they spent their lives getting comfort from their canine friends. Others have come from various situations where they are lacking confidence in humans. 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:
The first step in our process is to complete an online adoption application on our website:
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.
