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

Do you want to meet me? I will be at SLP Pet Evolution, 5217 Excelsior Blvd, St Louis Park, MN 55416 (Miracle Miles Shopping Center) for an Adoption Event on Saturday, March 1st from 1:00-3:00 pm. Please email inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com for questions regarding the dogs.

I’m Batman (no cape, but I do have some super-snuggle powers), a 50-pound, Giant Schnauzer/Labrador mix with a heart full of joy and adventure. I’m a happy-go-lucky guy, always by your side and ready to bring the fun. If you need a snuggle buddy, I’ve got you covered – my sister, Jaycee, and I are pros at bonding over nap time. 

I’m a people-pleaser and love to share (especially toys). I’ve got some impressive skills like coming when called and sitting like a champ. I even get along with dogs of all sizes – I’m a social butterfly! When I'm not playing or snuggling, you'll find me outside enjoying my fenced yard (a must-have for my adventures) or going for daily walks. I might even like water once it warms up – I’m ready for any splashy fun!

I only do barkage if I'm alarmed but otherwise am fairly quiet gentleman.  I love chewing on bones too!  

So, if you're looking for a loyal, loving companion who knows how to keep the fun flowing, I might be your guy! And hey, if you already have a dog, that’s cool – I’m best pals with Jaycee, but I’d be happy to join any family of friendly dogs. 

I'm also house trained, crate trained and good with kiddos under 12.  So you know, basically, I'm the perfect mix of chill and playful. What's not to love?  Do you want to meet?  

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.
