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

Hi, Dakota here.  I’ve heard that I might be a beagle mix.  That does not mean I’m mixed up, it just means I have the best traits of more than one breed…  just look at my picture!  I’m a sweet puppy and I’m looking for my furever home.  I’m a little shy when I first meet new people, but I warm up pretty quickly.  My foster mom says I bark at new dogs when I am on a leash...  I think that’s just being cautious, but she also says I have gotten along really well with all the dogs I’ve met.

I am a pretty smart gal if I do say so myself.  I am crate trained and go in willingly when asked.  I won’t be a large girl when I am all grown up, but apartment living might not be for me since I do like to bark a bit.  I also know where to do my business, so I am totally potty trained… yippee!  I’m still working on leash training…. I guess I pull a little bit on our daily walks, but I’m learning, so if you don’t have a fenced yard that will be okay as long as you like to go for walks to keep me exercised.  I really like playing with other dogs, so it would be nice if my furever home has some canine siblings or we can do some doggie play dates!

I haven’t met any children but I think I’ll like them if they are nice to me.  I also haven’t met any of the meow animals so I’m not sure if I will like them or not.  What I do know is that I like soft squeaky toys!  One of my favorite things to do is to pull all of the toys out of the toy box and pile them up in random places!  Oh, and I’ve never met a treat I didn’t like… my motto is all treats are good treats!

So if you realize what an awesome addition to your family I would be….  fill out that application right now!

Love, Dakota

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.
