Hi I'm Tulip! I'm a sweet tiny little girl and must admit I'm a bit shy. I try really hard to be confident though. My kennel is my safe space and I like to hang out in, but I do enjoy coming out so I can follow my foster mom around. When she gets down close to the ground I come to her with my body wiggling and I boop her hand and give her finger kisses. I really love when she scratches my chin and neck! I get a bit nervous when she picks me up, but I snuggle my head into her neck because I know I'm safe. I get along great with other dogs and do ask that my new home has one so that I can continue gaining confidence from them. Loud or fast movement can be scary for me so I think a home with no little kids would be best. I would never hurt a fly, but I'd likely be running and hiding in my kennel all the time. I haven't figured out what toys are for yet. I think they might be pillows for naps. When I'm excited I sass my foster mom with my cute little aroo. Mom doesn't know what I'm saying, but she laughs when I do it! I haven't learned that leash thing yet. So far I think it's scary so I'll need you to help me learn that it's ok. Til then I'll need a nice secure yard so I can do my business. It doesn't need to be big because I'm a tiny little girl. If you have a quiet home and can be patient with me then I think we could be great together. I might be small, but there's a lot of love in my heart ready to be shared.

Note: dogs must always be leashed whenever outside of a contained area. Invisible/ underground fencing is not recommended for most rescue dogs.
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:
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.
