Meet Munchkin (aka Monkey): The Queen of Retirement Living

Munchkin, lovingly known as Monkey, is a senior Yorkie who has officially retired from the chaotic world of puppy playtime and is now embracing her golden years with grace, style, and a touch of sass. She’s traded zoomies for snuggles, chew toys for cozy blankets, and doggy drama for peace and quiet—unless dinner is late, in which case she’ll let you know she still has opinions.

This pint-sized diva lives for the finer things in life. She adores a hearty meal (the faster it’s served, the better), curling up to watch movies with her humans (bonus points if snacks are involved), and finding the warmest lap in the house to claim as her throne. Monkey’s idea of a wild night is being smack in the middle of the puppy pile—strictly for the warmth, of course. The playtime shenanigans? She’ll leave that nonsense to the amateurs.

Monkey’s sense of humor and charming personality make her the perfect roommate for someone who values the slower, sweeter side of life. She’s not here for drama, just snacks, naps, and unconditional love. Think of her as the wise old lady at the dog park who’s seen it all and isn’t afraid to throw a side-eye at any nonsense.

If you’re looking for a companion who will happily supervise your Netflix marathons, keep your lap warm on chilly evenings, and maybe even share a snack or two, Monkey is your girl. She’s ready to be your loyal, low-maintenance best friend and promises to bring a little humor and a whole lot of heart into your home.

Retirement never looked this adorable—are you ready to give Monkey the cozy forever home she deserves?

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.
