Want to meet me? Come to the Underdog Headquarters (3345 Dakota Ave, St. Louis Park, 55416) for an Adoption Event on Tuesday Jan 30th from 5:00 - 6:00 pm. Please email inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com for questions regarding the dogs.
Hello! My name is Nicole. I’m a tiny little lady. In fact I only weigh 7 pounds. Now normally I wouldn’t tell you how much I weigh ‘cuz that’s just something you shouldn’t ask a lady. But, I know that hoomans like to know these things about us doggos. I’m an adult too, about 8 years old. Even though I’m tiny, I do love me some treats!
I am very friendly and sweet and I just love to snuggle on the couch while watching TV. In fact, I love snuggling more than anything else. So I hope you love to snuggle too! I’m not so much into the toys like some doggos I know. I do, however, like to cuddle with a furry toy in my dog bed. But let’s face it, who wouldn’t like to snuggle in bed? I mean I am living in Minnesota now and I hear it gets cold here! Snuggles keeps you warm too, did you know that?
I am still working on the potty training but I do know what “come” means. Isn’t that cool? Learning new things is so fun! I also know what “leave it” means too. I am also crate trained! Yay me, right?
I haven’t really been around those small hoomans so I’m not sure how that would go. I have been around small and medium doggos though, and cats. I do really well with those. I might have to test out bigger doggos as I don’t have any experience with those.
If you’re home with me most of the time, I’d be okay being your only dog, but if not, it might be better to have a friend with me. Remember how I like to snuggle so very much? It’s hard to snuggle when you are by yourself!
I will bark at strangers outside, but that’s just to make sure they know that I want to keep my hoomans safe. Otherwise I try to mind my manners and am a pretty quiet girl.
My foster mom says I’m the sweetest and that my personality is my biggest asset. She says I am always friendly to people.
Do you think you’d like to snuggle? If so I’d love to meet you and snuggle with you! What do you say? Huh? I cannot wait to meet you!
*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.
