Hello, my name is Earl, and I just might be the most handsome guy you’ve ever seen! Mom has me on a highly nutritious diet that is really making my coat luxurious and beautiful! Honestly, I didn’t think I could possibly be any more handsome, but this diet has proven me wrong, I am truly quite the looker if I do say so myself!!

When I first came to live with foster mom, I was very timid and skittish, but it only took a couple days before I started to relax and bonded with her. Now noises like dog dishes on the floor or screen doors opening/closing no longer startle me and I’m starting to show mom how loving, snuggly I am! I have even learned that I enjoy a nice peanut butter filled Kong and I LOVE playing fetch with my tennis ball. In fact, I will even take it with me on my leashed walks! Mom is the only human in our home so my exposure to other people has been limited but when she does introduce me to others in the neighborhood, I prefer not to be petted by them…I mean would YOU want random strangers touching you?? I didn’t think so!

I will go in my kennel willingly when mom leaves but believe me when I tell you that when she walks in the door, I greet her loudly until she comes to let me out!! At night I sleep in my crate next to her bed and though she’s never given me the opportunity to join her in the bed, it looks very comfortable so I’m pretty sure I’d love it up there…I’m just sayin’!! Anyway, I am working diligently on potty training and if I can stay on a consistent schedule, it is going very well! I know what “come”, “stay”, and “go potty” mean and will even occasionally bark to let mom know I need to go outside. I have not met any cats, but I get along with other dogs and it would be nice to have a fur friend, I would likely be fine if my people were home with me as much as possible. Having another friend will help with confidence and getting on a routine.

Well, I think that’s enough about me for now and I will end with this…I really am a super sweet boy who simply wants to be unconditionally loved! If you are looking for an amazing companion and you’re willing to give me the time and patience I need to get to know you and promise to NEVER give up on me, then I would really love to share my life with you! In fact, if you’ll help me trust you, I may even show you my goofy side! Hee, hee!! Love Earl.

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.
