Hello, my name is Abigail. I am a quiet and delightfully happy adult female Cavalier King Charles who loves attention, getting pets, and eating treats! I am typically calm around other dogs but make no mistake, I am no push-over especially when it comes to muscling my way through the other dogs to get treats!! Hee, hee!! By the way, I should mention that foster mom says that jumping up to get attention is frowned upon, but I just want to be with my people so badly that I can’t help it. Either way, I am working on it!
I get along with cats, but I have not met any kids and I am fearful of thunderstorms. I love playing with all toys and doing whatever my family is doing. I do not have much leash training so a fenced yard would be great although it’s not a deal-breaker! I do my personal business on potty pads, and I will happily put myself in my kennel/crate if I want to chill or take a snore-filled nap! Hee, hee! Don’t worry though, my snores are adorable just like me!!
All-in-all, I have a pretty great life here with foster mom however, I would love to have a furever family that I can call my own! All I ask is that my family be patient with me, love me unconditionally and NEVER give up on me! I have no doubt that you agree that’s not too much to ask so if you’re looking for an amazing companion who will light up your life then you need not look any further! I promise the love I will share with you will fill your heart for a lifetime!! Love, Abigail
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.
