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

Hi, I’m Libby, a 3-year-old Cavalier, weighing in at 18 pounds of sweetness! I’m a quiet, shy girl, but once I warm up, I love to explore and be with my people and doggy friends. Whether it's investigating every room in the house or exploring the backyard, I’m always curious and on the move. I love cuddling up near you on the couch or bed and rolling over for belly rubs. Chin scratches and ear pets are my favorite!

I enjoy running around the yard with my dog friends and snacking on freeze-dried beef liver, fruits, and veggies. While I haven’t started playing with toys yet, I love Kongs, bones, and lick mats. I watch my foster sibling fetch, so maybe one day I’ll join in!

I’m doing great with potty training and just need a few scheduled trips outside. I sleep quietly in my crate at night, though I’d much prefer to snuggle up with my people in bed. When it’s time to crate up, just say “crate,” and I’ll walk right in! We are working hard on leash training, so if you promise to keep practicing, I don't need a fenced yard in my forever hone. I have started to really love my daily walks!

Loud noises sometimes spook me, especially on walks, but with gentle reassurances, I’ll keep going. I do great with kind, respectful kids and would love to live with another dog to help me build confidence and have a playmate.

If you’re looking for a smart, loving, and snuggly companion, I’m your girl. I’d love to explore the outdoors with my forever family and be your new 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.  

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.
