Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting. 

My name is Hera, and if you like thick lips and a butt that wiggles, I might be the girl of your dreams.  I love chew toys, and am always improving on being a “share bear” as my moms say. I love to snuggle so much that I pretend the floor is lava and just jump from bed to bed…human or dog.

I will use my kennel when asked to, but I can be pretty loud when voicing my displeasure. Once I earned the trust of my moms, I was able to be left unkenneled…as long as there was no garbage around. If there is garbage, or any food, I cannot be help responsible for the mess I make.

I was with a rescue in Arkansas where I fell in love with a pitbull named Zeus. Zeus was in rescue because his medical care had been neglected by his owner, and it became apparent that he needed me. When he got the opportunity to come to MN for medical care, his new foster moms said they couldn’t leave me behind.

Little did they know that when I got here it would turn out that I needed medical care as urgently as Zeus. I had developed generalized mast cell tumors and needed to have them removed. The margins they got were good, and it is possible that it will never be a problem. But it is also possible that the tumors could come back, so it is important that my family monitors me for tumors and takes me in to get them removed should they appear. The good news is that my tumors are easy to find by just petting me.  I literally come with doctors  orders to have a lot of snuggle time and daily rub downs. My lumps are very easy to find and I love my lump checks!

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.
