Trisha is the epitome of a loving companion! This mellow girl has a heart full of affection and a gentle spirit that will melt your heart. Despite being a Chihuahua mix, she carries herself with grace and charm, making her a delightful addition to any household.

Trisha is incredibly sociable and gets along with all dogs, though she prefers to do her own thing rather than engage in rambunctious play. Whether she's enjoying the company of her furry friends or soaking up the love from her human, she’s content to be by your side.

Whenever you glance down, you'll find her gazing up at you with adoration, ready to gently nudge your leg for some much-deserved pets. If you take a moment to get down on her level, she’ll snuggle right into your lap, showering you with hugs and kisses. Her gentle nature makes her a perfect fit for families with children, and her calm demeanor means she’d thrive in an apartment setting.

Trisha is making great strides in her potty and kennel training and is improving on her leash skills—no need for a fenced yard as long as someone is willing to help her fine-tune those walks! She may have a love for food, but nothing compares to the joy she feels from your praise, which is her favorite treat of all.

If you have an empty lap, Trisha is more than ready to fill it! With her beautiful ears tuned to your voice and her sparkling eyes filled with love, she has a unique ability to make all your troubles fade away. If you’re looking for a sweet, loving companion who will bring joy and warmth to your life, Trisha is the girl for you!

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.
