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

Hi – my name is Kira and I am the perfect mix of fluff and fun! I am a happy go lucky that loves people! I like to be with my people and get lots of snuggles.

I happen to LOVE lots of things too.  Here’s a list: kids, squeaky toys, fresh bones from the butcher, dental chews and of course, cuddling. I’m pretty laid back and easy going.  I’m happy just following you around and getting attention.  I do well in the kennel (no barking or complaining about it) – however I do bark if I’m alarmed.  But I do like having you in my sight if I can.  If you’re home a lot, I can be an only dog but I do enjoy having another dog companion if you’re gone frequently.

I’m really close to potty trained when kept on a good schedule. I don't need a fenced yard in my forever home if you are committed to continue leash training. But I probably should tell you my little secret - I have a horrible habit of chewing through my leashes and harness. So ... foster mom says that I need to be supervised if you have me outside on a tie out so I don't nibble my way loose.  We are working on leash training and I am catching on fast – I would love to learn more and hoping we can go on long walks together.

You should know that I’ve been known to escape my kennel or fenced/gated off areas.  I simply would rather be around people and now knowing how nice it is to be in a loving place, I want to soak it all in.  When I first came to rescue, I hadn’t been in a house so I had to learn how to do steps and also what house etiquette is.  So, you’ll need to keep working with me on that since sometimes my nose smells better food than mine and I might eat something that I shouldn’t. 

Basically, I just love being loved and loving in return.  I’m not particular on who is loving me up either.  Bring it on!!!

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.
