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

Hello, my name is Norma. I am an incredibly beautiful and quiet young adult female Chihuahua/Pug mix (Chug) who is still shy and a bit fearful of you humans so I am looking for an amazing furever home with a patient family who not only promises to love me unconditionally and NOT give up on me but who will also allow me the time and space I need to get acclimated in my own time and my own way! I have no doubt that YOU know exactly what I’m talking about…I’m sure you would not want someone pushing you to do something that made you uncomfortable.

My favorite pastimes include playing with toys and my foster sibs, running zoomies with friends in a fenced yard, chewing on Nylabones, and finally…snuggling on the couch with my peeps…but not too close…yet anyway… Hee, hee! I am fearful of loud noises and commotion, and I have not met any kids or cats. I do, however, really enjoy the company of other dogs so hopefully I will have a companion at my new home! I do not have a lot of leash experience, but I am a smart lady who not only is potty, and crate trained but I know commands like ‘leave it’, ‘outside’, and ‘go potty’!

Anyway, foster mom says I am “the cutest and sweetest dog ever” and I know she is going to miss me SO much when I go to my new home, but she knows a wonderful furever home is my lifelong dream! Are you ready to welcome an angel into your life? I’m sure you and I are a perfect match for each other so come bring me home so we can begin our new life together. I promise I’m worth it!! Love, Norma

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.
