Hello there, I'm Harper, and I'm here to tell you a little bit about myself! I might be a bit shy at first, especially with new people, but once I get to know you, I'm the sweetest dog you'll ever meet. I thrive in the comfort of home, feeling most at ease when I'm cuddled up next to my favorite humans.

I have a few favorite things in life. Treats are definitely at the top of my list - I can never resist a tasty snack! I also enjoy getting lots of pets and sitting right next to my humans, feeling the warmth of their presence. As for toys, I'm not too picky, but I do love a good belly rub! There's something about a gentle belly rub that makes me feel incredibly content.

Now, there are a couple of things you should know about me. I might not be a big fan of commotion and loud noises, but who can blame me? I'm also in the process of learning some new commands, so I'm a work in progress. When it comes to other dogs, I get along just fine with all sizes, and I would thrive in a home with another dog to help me gain confidence but it isn't required. I do love all the attention from my people so if you are home a lot that would make me happy!

Oh, and here's a fun fact: I'm not much of a barker. As for my manners around cats, you don't have to worry - I'm always respectful. I've been working hard on my leash training, and I'm getting better at it every day. While I might not be fully potty trained just yet, I'm very close, especially when I'm on a good schedule.

So, if you're looking for a sweet and cute companion who loves couch cuddles, tummy rubs, and the occasional treat, I might just be the perfect match for you. I am working hard at coming out of my shell and can't wait to find my forever home and share all my love and affection with my new family!

*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. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopters expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses . Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. 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:

http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/adoptionprocess/

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.
