Meet Jazzy – A Sweet and Spunky Companion Looking for Her Forever Home

Jazzy is a 10-pound bundle of love with a 110-pound personality. Born in January 2022, this
adorable Chihuahua has been learning the ropes of home life in her foster home, where she has
charmed everyone with her affectionate nature, playful spirit, and adorable signature Chihuahua
sass. One look into her big eyes and you’ll be charmed!

Jazzy is happy when she’s snuggled under a blanket, observing the world from her cozy hideout.
Yet her lap dog-nature comes out too, as she enjoys curling up next to her favorite person,
especially after a long day of watching over her home—what fur baby doesn’t like to be king or
queen of the castle? While she hasn’t had much experience outside her foster home, she greets
visitors with tail wags and excitement, always happy to make new friends. She’s cute as a bug so will likely draw new people to her at a glance!

She is crate-trained and knows a few basic commands, including come, leave it, and go potty.  Her potty training is nearly complete—she reliably signals when she needs to go outside,
though she may need a little extra patience during bad weather when she’s not as eager to go out.

She walks on a leash and enjoys short outings but is still working on regular or longer leash
walks.  

Like many Chihuahuas, Jazzy has an independent streak. She does well with small dogs in her
foster home but still likes to make sure everyone knows she’s in charge. She has never bitten
another dog, but her current personality means she prefers to set—or at least agree with— the
rules. With slow introductions and the right match, she would likely enjoy a canine sibling, though she doesn’t necessarily need one to thrive. She hasn’t been tested with cats.

Jazzy is an incredibly sweet girl, but she does have a few quirks. She startles easily with loud
noises and is especially fearful of the vacuum cleaner. In the mornings, she likes to wake up on
her own terms—she may let out a little warning nip if she’s disturbed too early. Because of this,
she would do best in an adult-only home or with older children who understand how to respect
her space.

She is a smart, loving companion who just needs the right home to help her flourish. She can be
a bit of a picky eater, but once she finds what she likes, she’s all in! While she enjoys the
company of her people, she is also independent and happy to find a cozy spot to relax on her
own.

Jazzy will thrive in an understanding home that appreciates and helps her unique personality
blossom. She’s got a lot of love to give and is ready to find her perfect match. If you’re looking
for a loyal companion who will keep you entertained, warm your heart, and snuggle up by your
side, Jazzy might just be the one 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.  

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.
