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

Hi there, I’m Tommy!

You might say I’m a little guy with a big heart and an even bigger personality. At just two years old, I’ve been known to charm the socks off anyone I meet, showering them with kisses and soaking up all the attention I can get. I’m always on the move, whether I’m playing with toys, rolling around, or just keeping an eye on what’s happening around me.

Now, I’ve got a confession to make—I’ve got a bit of a thing for chasing cats. Yep, you heard that right. If there’s a cat around, you can bet I’ll be barking up a storm, ready to give that feline friend a run for their money. So, if you’ve got a kitty at home, I might not be the best fit for you.

But don’t worry, I’m not all bark and no bite! I love playing with people and other dogs, especially if it involves a game of fetch or a good chew on a bully stick or yak cheese bone. And while I’m pretty good with commands like sit and come, I’m still working on my house training, so I’ll need a little extra patience and reinforcement in that department.

Now, about that fenced yard situation—I love having the freedom to run around and explore, but I’m small enough to squeeze through some fences if the spacing is too wide. So, a secure yard or a leash and harness combo would be ideal for me.

But despite my penchant for mischief and cat-chasing, I promise I’m all love and cuddles. I’ve been called a charmer, a Romeo—heck, even a cutie patootie! And I’m ready to bring all that charm and affection to my forever home. So, if you’re looking for a little guy with a big heart, look no further than me, Tommy, your soon-to-be best friend!

*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 adopter’s 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.
