Hi! My name is Nana! I’m about 2 years old. If you’re looking for a big, cuddly, couch potato, I’m your girl! I do take time to build trust, so I will do best with a calm and patient family ready to give me the time I deserve to show them all the love I can fit in my body. And considering I’m 100 lbs, that’s a lot!
I’m crate trained and love to go for walks with my foster. My walking skills have gotten a lot of praise! I probably don’t need a fenced-in yard, but I won’t say no if you have one. I’ve been doing great with my potty-training schedule and my foster noticed that I think pets and snuggles are the best reward to keep up my progress! I also love myself a good nylabone!
Once I’ve gotten to know someone, I am happiest being with my people and I love my furry foster sister! I haven’t had the opportunity to meet any other dogs or these things I’ve heard about called “cats,” so I’d look forward to meeting any new fur siblings to make sure we’ll get along. I’d do great just getting all of your attention to myself, too! I haven’t met any tiny humans yet, but I’m sure I’d love them! Just remember that I’m a bigger girl and I might not always be aware of my size, so if it would be helpful if the kids can understand and be respectful of the fact that I’m a big girl. I’m pretty quiet, but if I’m alarmed by some loud noises, I’ll let you know!
So, if you are a quiet, calm family with lots of love and attention to give, send in an application so my people can get in touch with your people!
**Grooming - this dog's coat may have been neglected before arriving at Underdog and it can sometimes take months to get their coat healthy. Grooming appointments occur every 3 months and cost on average of $150 per appointment. Adopters should be prepared for such expenses.
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.
