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

In my two-year-old lifespan, I’m finally feeling like I can relax!  I admit it’s taken about a month to show my personality in my foster home.  But a girl needs to know she’s OK, right?!  I’m meeting new friends – both fur and human!  I still haven’t really met any little kids yet though.

My foster mom will call me to come put my harness on for walking and I will try to run away and cower but once I get outside to walk, I forget all about it and enjoy the scenery.  And I don’t need a fenced yard since I do walk almost every day.  I’d found a liking to chase squirrels and with bark at other dogs when I see them on TV.  I mean, who knows…they might want to be my friend or talk with me!

I’m pretty close to potty trained – mostly.  I can hold it for 4 hours all by myself but longer times, that’s the tricky part for me.  It’d be nice to have another dog around to show me all those things we dogs are supposed to do.  But it’s not required if someone is around most of the time.  I’ve discovered the joy of rolling in the snow and carrying around my stuffed toy squirrel.  I’ve even been known to steal some socks from my foster mom – shhhh…don’t tell! 

If you need to leave me alone, I admit that I’m not fond of the crate/kennel and will whine about it and won’t go in voluntarily.  Can you blame me?  I’ll settle down eventually. 

Not only do I get along with dogs (there’s a mini schnauzer here now) (cat’s I haven’t met) but I am a snuggler.  Especially at night where I’ll snuggle by your head or roll over to get belly rubs.  So if you pick me, just be patient as I learn to trust you, and am handing out all the snuggles and love you’re waiting for!

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.
