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

Hey buddy! (That is what I call my friends and everyone is my friend!)

I am looking for a foster home or forever home. I am a 2 year old shepherd mix, potty trained, crate trained and energetic, but do love a soft couch for a snooze. In my current foster home, I love playing with my dog friends in the fenced yard, it is a good way for me to use up energy. Although I am around other dogs, I don’t need another dog in my foster home or forever home. I haven’t met cats and have met kids. I might need to be supervised around small kids because my wagging wiggle butt might knock them over, I still don’t know my size and space. Leash walking is fun – but watch out because if I see a squirrel I will pull and try to get them so hang on tight!

My foster mom wants to give you a few tips so I can be the best boy in your house. She says I can’t have dog beds or soft toys in my kennel – just so you know, she isn’t a meany, it is because I will destroy them and try to eat them. I know I shouldn’t, and Santa is watching, but can’t help it. I am only allowed non destructible big toys.

I was rescued from a shelter in Texas and really apricate the few months I have been with Underdog while I was going thru Heartworm treatment. I am all better and the vet said I am healthy and ready to find my Forever Family. Ready for a big derpy dog – then I am your guy! Can’t wait to meet 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:

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.
