Want to meet me? Come to Underdog Rescue Headquarters (3345 Dakota Ave S, St. Louis Park, MN 55416) for an Adoption Event on Sunday, October 10th from 11 am - 1 pm. Please email inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com for questions.

Hello, my name is Abbot. I am a handsome and regal adult male Great Dane who may weigh in at a whoppin’ 140 pounds, but I am one incredibly sweet, attention-seeking, gentle giant who loves spending time with my peeps!

I have not met any cats, but I am a docile boy good with children, so I think I’d be ok with them. I don’t talk much unless something alarms me, I do my business outside, I don’t mind the crate, and I like to pull mom around the neighborhood when we go on leashed walks. l also know commands like “sit” and “kennel/crate” so you can see that, in addition to my magnificent looks, I am quite the prodigy, and I would love to learn more if you’d be willing to teach me! Hee, hee!!

Anyway, I’m one of those big tough guys who’s not much for words so I think I will stop talking about myself and get to the point! I have always imagined having an incredible life with a wonderfully patient family who will love me unconditionally and NOT give up on me!  Are you ready to welcome an incredibly affectionate giant into your life? I promise I’m SO worth it and I will love you more than you could possibly imagine…in fact, I will love you more than I love myself and I love myself a LOT…immeasurably really!!  Love, Abbott

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.
