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

Hi there! My name is Kimberly, and I'm a 4-year-old Terrier weighing in at 11 lbs. I’m full of personality and absolutely love people. I'm super friendly and confident around the house, and I run right up to visitors—whether they're young or old, male or female—for pets and attention.

I live with two small senior male dogs, and I’m very respectful of their space. I know when they want to be left alone. But when I met our neighbor's mini poodle, who’s around the same age as me, we had a blast playing together. The only thing that has made me pause so far is the garbage trucks when we’re outside. What’s the deal with all the noise?

I love following my foster family around the house and being where the action is. Even though I have moderate energy, I’m totally content chilling on the couch, snuggled up next to one of my people. I come running full speed with my tiny tail wagging so fast that my whole bottom wiggles when you walk through the door or let me out of my kennel.

I’m very quiet although I did make a few squeals when I was first put in my kennel. I sleep great in my kennel at night and when my foster family is away from home. I’m still working on potty training, I’m making good progress. I’m also learning to walk nicely on a leash, so I don’t need a fenced yard for potty breaks and exercise.

My favorite treats are freeze-dried chicken, but I love all kinds of treats. I’m still discovering toys and learning what I like best. I’m looking for a forever home where I can bring joy and love to my new family. Could that be with you?

Love, Kimberly

*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.  

If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com>

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.
