Meet Kingston! Kingston is a super chill, go-with-the-flow Shih Tzu who is just as content laying by the fire as he is riding along for whatever adventure you can cook up! He’s especially fond of his walks - his foster dad says he’s great on a leash and can walk for miles! Are you the forever family Kingston has been waiting for? 

Toys are a new thing for Kingston, and with some time he’s begun to get more and more playful at his foster home. He needs a forever family who can let him open up at his own pace. Potty training is going really well when Kingston can be on a consistent schedule. He goes out frequently and does his business, although there are still some accidents in the house. With some patience, this smart boy is sure to catch on. It takes some time getting used to these “normal’ doggy things! But Kingston is up for the challenge. Foster dad says he will be a great doggy companion with a little time to open up.

Not only is Kingston a mellow guy (he only barks when alarmed), he is an absolute gentleman with feline friends. And with kids, too! He really is a catch. Kingston does need a fenced yard - he enjoys the freedom too much to be without one. He also requires a dog in his forever home, to help him feel confident and keep him company. Kingston loves to be with his people/animal friends, whether big or small.

Are you looking for an adorable, easy-going fur companion? One who is just as happy lounging in a sunbeam with his canine buddies as he is going on his daily trek? Apply to adopt Kingston if it sounds like your family is a good fit for this handsome boy!

 
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.
