Hi, my name is Caroline and I am very sweet and playful. I am also what you would call a lapdog – sometimes a Velcro dog too – really I just like to be around my people!
I am learning important dog skills, for example we are working on leash training. The harness isn’t my favorite, but I am figuring it out and get excited when we are getting ready for our walk. I love going for walks to see new people and smells. There is a lot to see in this big wide world! We are working on potty training – if you keep me on a schedule, I will do great! When my people leave the house, I go into a crate and don’t mind it as long as you don’t leave me long! Although I would love to go with you – I do fine in the car when we go to the park or to visit friends. Don’t worry, I have mastered dinnertime! When it is time to eat, I will zoom around and go in circles while you prepare my meal.
When I meet other dogs, I am curious and polite with all dog friendly dogs. Ideally my forever home will have another dog so I can continue learning important dog stuff and get on a routine. Having a confident dog in the home will help me with my confidence as well. I have another dog in my foster home that has helped me find all the good places to take a nap and get on a potty routine.
Since snuggling is one of my favorite things to do, I will also need a forever home with someone that has a spot for me on their lap or next to them on the couch, hee hee! I am working on learning to share foster mom with the other dog in the house, so will need to continue working on sharing and confidence.
I am food motivated so training has been fun – I have learned that if I sit, I get a treat! And if I “come,” I will get a treat! I think we can work together to figure out other important dog things as long as you have a treat for me.
All I need now is a forever home with loads of patience, snuggles and smiles just for me!
Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.

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.
