Hi, my name is Noah and I am the most adorable little chihuahua! Not only am I handsome, but I am doing my best to show my people how brave I am! They are amazed at the progress I am making and are excited for me to find a forever home with will continue to help me build trust. There are so many things I am experiencing for the first time so will need lots of patience and time until I warm up to new people, noises and situations. 

I am just starting to show my foster family how brave and happy I am. When they come home, I bounce with happiness and can’t wait to tell them all the things I have been doing (bark bark). Lately I have been showing my foster family that I have dance moves when I am excited to eat! I do love mealtimes! I get a little worried about loud noises and if my people approach me to quick I will simply back up. If you come down to my level and with a smile – I am more than happy to be friends! 

We are working on all my dog skills in my foster home including potty training and I am doing great on a schedule. I am great in the crate, but really prefer spending time near my people. I happen to have a high-pitched cry so no shared walls in my forever home. We are also working on leash training, and I am a work in progress so need a fence in my forever home. My people said I am very attentive and like treats, so training is going well. I’m sure if you have some tasty treats, we can learn all kinds of things together!

There are other dogs in my foster home, and I enjoy their company – because I am timid and still have a lot to learn, having another small dog in the house is required in my forever home. Having a confident dog friend in my forever home will be fantastic because it will help me get on a routine, show me I can trust people and keep me company when I am worried. I do have some separation anxiety that my forever home will need to keep working on with me. While I like dogs, I cats are not a good idea. I will chase them! Yes! Little ol’ me will chase the meow right out of the cats! I have met a few children and I need to be supervised as I am tiny and have some anxiety so not sure how I will react to a lot of commotion. Ideally a forever home without small kids is preferred.

All I need now is a forever home that will love me unconditionally, have a load of patience and lots of treats!

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.
