Hi, my name is Quest and I am a simple and happy cavalier that is a very good boy. I love being near people and snuggling on the couch. I’m so laid back and rarely do I bark.

I’m crate-trained and sleep in my crate all night. I do wear a belly band in the house because I had a tendency to be a marker but I’m busy practicing (and progressing well) by going outside frequently. We can work together on a good routine – I am so good on a schedule.

I sure love sniffing and wandering around the fenced yard. I’ve been learning from the resident dog and follow her behaviors and would like to play with her but she's not interested. That’s not very friendly of her.  Hmpf.  But I would benefit from another dog in my forever home but that is probably not necessary if someone is home a lot. A fenced yard would be ideal - I've just started leash training - I don't fight the leash and am not afraid of it – but we're just starting to do short walks.

I’ve met kids 12 and 14 years of age and was great with them. However, I’d likely be happiest in a more laid-back home without a lot of commotion. A few times when people were over, I socialized nicely then went and laid in my crate when I got tired. When I first arrived, I was afraid of steps.  Since arriving, I’ve has mastered them well and now don't hesitate to go up or down. I am such a smart and gentle dog.

I’ll make an excellent family member to a home that’s more relaxed and where I can be with my person/people a lot. All I need now is a forever family with lots of patience, unconditional love and a me-sized spot on the couch next to you so we can snuggle.

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.
