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

I know you want to meet me. I will be at Chuck & Don's, Eden Prairie, 8022 Den Rd, Eden Prairie, MN 55344 for an Adoption Event on Saturday, February 8th from 11:00-1:00 pm. Please email inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com for questions regarding the dogs.

Hi, I’m Mandi! I’m a 3-year-old Miniature Poodle, weighing in at just 9 pounds of pure love and loyalty. Let me tell you about myself—I think we might just be a perfect fit!

I’m a sweet and affectionate girl, and once I pick my favorite human, I’ll be your little shadow. I’ll follow you around everywhere, always wanting to be close to you. My love language is belly rubs, pets, and just being by your side.

Walks and car rides are some of my favorite activities—I even do a happy little dance when I see my leash! I also have a cute little routine where I “dance” along the couch when I want to join you, though I’ll need a hand up since I’m too small to jump up on my own. I’ve just started to enjoy small treats, but my biggest motivation is attention from my favorite human.

I’m potty trained and do great when we stick to a good routine, and I’m great on a leash when we go outside. I’m currently living with two other dogs and get along well with them, but I’d really prefer to be the center of attention. If I have to compete for love, I’ll sneak my way to the front of the line every time!

I’m not a fan of the crate—it makes me feel lonely, and I’ll let you know with some howling. Because of this, I’d do best in a home where my humans are around most of the time. Sharing walls with neighbors might not be ideal since I bark when left alone. I’m just happiest when I have your company.

If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion who will brighten your days with silly dances and endless affection, I might be the perfect match for you. I’m ready to be your new best friend—are you ready to meet me?

*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.
