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

Keep checking back for upcoming events I will be attending!      

Hi! My name is Newt! I am a 20lb sweet, playful ball of energy doing my very best to learn all the ropes of puppyhood! I still have all my puppy teeth and love chewing on things and am currently navigating what are the good things to chew and what are the “no bite” things! I am very smart so learning each day how to be the best puppy that I can be!

As a puppy, I do my best to listen to my foster humans and have learned that I get all the good stuff when I sit, so I have mastered that! I am a true gentleman when it comes to the kennel. I go in whenever I am told and love to sleep through the night there, which my foster parents are very happy about! As a puppy I do still have occasional accidents in the house, but I have been doing so great at potty training with frequent outings! I will get it down it in no time!

I have been learning all the commands and am very good at sit, kennel/crate, outside, go potty and am still mastering off and “no bite”. I am very smart, so learning new tricks or commands will be fun for me and a great way to bond with my humans and be the best behaved boy!

I absolutely love dogs and playing with them! I get very excited when they are playing around, and I always want to join in the fun! I love my foster kids at my home and would love to snuggle in everyone’s lap as much as I can! I am working on my leash training and go outside to potty on a leash frequently. I still have some learning to do buy my foster parents tell me I am doing a great job and getting better each day!

I do love dog friends, but I am also happy in a home if there are no other dogs around, I truly just want to love on my humans, big or small, all day! I have not met any cats before so I would need a slow introduction, and to learn proper behavior around feline friends, but I am a very smart boy and can learn quickly!

I can’t wait to play, snuggle, walk, and love my new furever family!

I’m a growing puppy and I have not yet had a lot of experience with crates, kids or cats and I might bark if something alarms me, but I really love to learn and hoping for a family who will take me to a basic obedience class to continue to help me build confidence and dog skills. Ideally my forever home would need to be home during the day to help me with my potty training and not leave me for breaks longer than 3 - 4 hours. If you are looking for a best friend, please fill out the puppy application. The more info you include on the application the better so I can find a good match for my forever home. Get your toy box ready!

**Obedience classes are required when adopting this puppy from Underdog Rescue. Many of our puppies have a mama who was not properly socialized before coming to Underdog Rescue. Since coming to Underdog, this puppy has been in a socialized and loving home, but that needs to be continued with its Adopters.  Training classes teach puppies the ins and outs of being a pet while creating a bond with their new Adopter.  Obedience classes are key to creating a relationship with your puppy while having it be a happy and successful member of society.   Proof of Obedience Class registration is required for this puppy before adoptions can be finalized.  If you would like some suggestions, we would be happy to send some trainers who have experience with Underdog Rescue, but a Basic Obedience class in your area should work!

This puppy requires an application fee. This fee must be paid within 24 hours or your application will be considered void.  We will not review or contact applicants that have not completed the payment portion.

Puppy Applications will be responded to within 5 business days, after receipt of the application fee.  Please understand that paying the fee does not guarantee you will be approved to adopt the puppy. Our goal is place puppies in homes that are suited for their individual needs. You may be willing and able to provide a great home, but if it doesn’t meet the specific needs of the puppy, we will not approve your application.

We accept applications for puppies until we have a candidate that meets all of the requirements needed for the specific puppy and they have been contacted to review the adoption process as well as agree to all of the terms to move forward.

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.
