Come at meet me at the following adoption events: All of our foster dogs can be seen by appointment. Email Us Hi everyone, I am Ian but would rather be called Rugby my Foster Dad calls me that and I love it! I am working on learning the new life of a dog. I love living in a warm house with people and other animals. I am learning the word “Kennel”. I was not sure what My Foster Mom meant when she told me “Kennel” at first but it means it’s time to go in for rest time while they sleep or go to work. It’s a great time to get a nap also. We are working on sit but not sure what to think. They tell me to sit but yet they are standing this new world sometimes seems so confusing. But I love the treats I get if I do it. So I think I will go with what they tell me. I do great with other dogs and cats. I love to play and have some fun with everyone. Kids are ok to. I get a little scared with fast movements and ask that you take it slow until I am comfortable around you. I will show you love for years to come; they me I'm about 8 years old but I feel like I have my whole life to live! Please take me into your home!

We work on training, crate-training and socialization prior to adoption. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality. All of our foster animals are fed a premium diet such as NutriSource, Blue Buffalo, Solid Gold, Canidae, Orijen or balanced raw diet. Each is given lots of love. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves. Not able to foster or adopt right now? Please consider sponsoring an Underdog.

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.
