Hello, I’m Lucy, and I’m a girl of VERY few words so I’m going to get straight to the point. I’m an incredibly sweet, quiet, and laid-back female Cocker Spaniel. I am blind but make no mistake…I still love my life! If you are looking for a loving companion who simply wants to take it easy and enjoy life with you, I’m your girl! I have not met any cats or kids, but I’m good with other dogs. I bark in the crate but that’s just because I don’t need it! I know to go potty outside. I admit, I don’t have a lot of leash experience so I will need my new yard to be securely fenced! Not to be braggy, but I am quite smart. Even though I am blind, I can actually do stairs on my own. Ok, full disclosure only a few and only going up. Going down stairs while blind sounds risky! I am working on getting my weight down and my allergies under control. I am on a raw food diet and it is helping me look and feel my best! I was quite overweight at 38 pounds so I have a long way to go and will definitely need an adopter who will be my life coach! So far I have lost 6 pounds and my goal weight is 26 pounds. I truly am an angel who would love nothing more than to find my fur-ever home with YOU…a very patient, unconditionally loving family that will NEVER give up on me. I have an enormous heart that’s brimming with love to share, and I promise I will shower you with ALL of it if you would simply welcome me into your world! Love, Lucy
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: 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.
