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

Hi, I’m Syrah! (But you can call me Radar because of my super-cute ears!)

I’m a 5-year-old, 26-pound Corgi with a heart full of love and a personality as big as my ears! From the moment we meet, I’ll probably flop over to show you my belly because belly rubs are my absolute favorite thing. I’m an easygoing, affectionate girl who gets along wonderfully with people of all ages—including little kids—and I’d love to be your new best friend.

I’m fully potty trained and crate trained, so no accidents or messes here! I’m also great on a leash and enjoy nice walks in the park. Whether I’m sniffing around the yard or playing with my toys, I’m always ready for fun. I know some cool commands like “stay,” “come,” and “go potty,” so I’m already a polite companion.

I’ve made friends with all the resident dogs in my foster home, and I’d be thrilled to have a playful, energetic doggy sibling in my forever home. But don’t worry if you don’t have another dog—I’m just as happy soaking up all your love as a solo pup. I’m even super chill around free-range chickens! Cats, though? Not my thing. I’m just too curious about them, and they don’t seem to appreciate my enthusiasm. It would be best if there are no cats in my forever home.

I can fit in perfectly with any family, whether you’re quiet and laid-back or full of energy and adventure. I’m ready to share my love, loyalty, and sweet nature with you. So, what do you say? Ready to give my belly rubs a try?

*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.
