Oh hello, Ollie here! As you can see, I’m a 30 lb tripod precious poodle-mix just by first glance! They say that love is patient, and that’s the kind of love I’m looking for in my new home. I’ll even return the favor because I rarely bark and am not much of a noise maker. There’s just something about human males that really comfort me, so with that said, I would love to have a dog dad in the near future, granted, I do well around kids of any age as well.
When I was first rescued, I had an accident, but it hasn’t hurt my self-esteem. I do find myself to be very beautiful and I bet I would be a model if I were human. I have a lot of self-love and adore staring at myself in a mirror, sometimes for hours, so if you feel like having one eye level, I wouldn’t be mad. While I’m still learning how to stand in one place with three legs, I actually walk very well and even run quite nicely when prompted. However, stairs are my nemesis to this day. A home with easy access would be better, but if there’s a few steps that would be fine.
I would love to have another dog around, any size, that’s when you’ll see my playfulness really shine. Leashes and kennels are a-ok for me, I don’t require a fenced yard as I go potty on a leash pretty easily. If I have to go outside, I won't even bark, I'll just come into the room and give you that awkward stare, you'll know it when you see it. Maybe you’ll even give me a bone or one of those greenies for being such a good boy, I will even respond to “sit” right before you give me one! I’m really not that needy when it comes to treats, but I love my crinkle toy, I could play with it all day. Maybe we could even take one of those fun car rides, I enjoy those! If we go on an adventure to a dog park, I do prefer having a doggie companion along with me because it makes me feel safe.
I’ve discovered that my kennel is a shelter of protection when I hear loud commotions. I like hiding in the dark away from the big sudden sounds, it’s like a blanket of comfort. But, you’ll know I'm happy when you will hear my tail going thumpety thump thump on everything around me. I am a gentle soul and I have so much love on the inside that’s ready to burst and shower you with face kisses and cuddles!
*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 th eir 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.
