Hi, I'm Yankee! I cannot wait to find my Forever Home! I am loving life in my Foster Home, but I just cannot wait to find a forever spot. I used to be a breeding stud, and truth be told, I'm loving my retirement as a family member. I am a happy, friendly guy who just loves any and all attention. I am good with other dogs, but could be an only dog with you if you are home often and promise lots of fun adventures! I have not yet learned about a leash, so a fenced in yard might be best, unless you are willing to help teach me that. I'm doing well with my potty training in a fenced in yard, so I might regress a bit if I have to learn potty training and leash training together, but if you are patient with me, I know we can get there together! My favorite thing to do is get scratches and then do the zoomies - I go super fast, or so I think! My Foster Home thinks it's pretty funny and I just love running and stretching my legs! Toys are a total new concept for me, but I'm realizing they are kind of cool and fun, so show me your favorites and they will become mine, too! I am doing well with my kennel training and keep it nice and clean in there. I also love going on adventures and exploring - I'm great in the car and cannot wait for these fantastic MN summers I hear about. They sound like my jam! Fresh air and sunshine - sign me up!
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.
