Hi – my name is Ladybug and I am so excited to find my forever family! I know you don’t see why I’m so excited but I’ve been trying so hard to learn so many things since I came into rescue and want to share! I shouldn’t toot my own horn, but I will because I am an amazing puppy!
When I first arrived to my foster family, I was afraid and timid because it was all so new to me and I had no idea how much my life would change. They tell me that because I’m such a good girl that I’ll be able to find my furever home really soon!
I’m so good with all dogs and people. At first I would growl at other dogs who tried to play with toys that I wanted/had but I’ve learned that they too like to play with them so I’m no longer being possessive about it. Sharing is caring! Speaking of…you can share me with dogs you already have in your home since I learn faster from them but I’d also be ok as an only furry love.
I really enjoy kids. Maybe that’s because I’m still a kid myself. They like to give me lots to scratches and cuddles which I just LOVE! I’ll smother you with licks until you give in and pet me.
I’m fully potty trained now and even go for walks (which I’m told I need to work on a little bit because I’m so excited to meet people and go places) but that means I don’t need a fenced yard.
If you have to leave me (which I hope isn’t very often), you can tell me to go to my crate and I do! I do bark a bit when I see myself in a mirror or if I’m startled. But that’s ok, right?! And I suppose I should tell you that since I’m still a puppy, I do tend to find things to chew on that are interesting but just give me something else instead. I’ve been known to destroy stuffed animals. So maybe stronger chew options until I’m out of that stage.
One last thing…and don’t hold it against me…but I had to have a haircut because I was so matted. So my beautiful fur will need upkeep so my cuteness is in full effect.
All I need now is an amazing forever family that will appreciate how amazing I am! I can’t wait to meet you!
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.
