Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting. 

Hello, My name is Gertie and all  I’ve been learning so many things while in foster care from my people and the other dogs in the house. I know I’d love to have another small dog to play with because I love playing the most! I also love nap time which is usually with you, on your lap or nuzzled next to another dog, so I would love a snuggle person or two in my forever home.  Toys, bones, balls and anything else you can think of for me to play with is more than just fine – lots of toys would be amazing! While I do like playing with all the toys, I’m smart enough that I don’t get into things I’m not supposed to. 

Being I’m such a small nugget, I don’t think I’d be suitable for a home with small children. I am working on the basics of a leash so fences are not required but remember, I’m not experienced at walking on a leash yet so maybe we can work on that one you have warmer temps.

I should probably tell you that I do bark when I want attention and at meal time.  And I also need more practice at potty training.  I still have accidents in the crate.  But I’m working on all of it.  Like when you say “outside”, I know where that is.  Now to just perfect that pottying is for outside!  

All I need now is a forever family with lots of patience, toys and lots of snuggles for little me!

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.
