Hello, my name is Peggy. I am a very beautiful and sweet female Puggle puppy who is not only curious about everything but I’m polite and friendly and I have loved everyone I have met thus far. When I say ‘everyone’ I mean everyone from kids, other dogs and even those meowy things you humans call ‘cats’!! Hee, hee!!
I love going for leashed walks around the neighborhood especially when it means I get to see kids who will rub my tum-tums!! I also love chewing on bones and I am absolutely the BEST snuggler EVER and I love nothing more than cuddling with my people at night!! Hopefully my new family will appreciate a great bed-buddy!! Hee, hee!! I spent some time with a temp foster family who took me to a brewery, and I must say that I was the Belle of the Ball so to speak! Everyone love me and I was a total hit!! I guess one could say that I’m one of those types who instantly wins the hearts of everyone I meet! I am potty trained, and I haven’t let foster mom hear me bark mark much unless I’m in the car or kennel of course! After all, I much prefer to be with my family than in that cave you people call a ‘kennel’!
Typical to the pug-mix breed I will need my forever people to wipe/clean my face wrinkles daily. I'm not the biggest fan of the bathtub, so my foster family gives my cute little face a sponge bath every few days.
Anyway, all I need now is YOU! If you promise to help me keep my face clean and my eyes healthy and are able to spend lots of time with me and will let me cuddle with you then I’m pretty sure we’re soul mates!! I promise that I will love you more than there are stars in the sky!! Love, Peggy
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.
