Email Us Olivia is a 6 year old spayed Maltese who spent the first six years of her life in a puppy mill. She is as sweet as sweet can be, and is getting used to living life as a cherished pet. Olivia is good with kids over 5 (younger children have not been tested yet), she LOVES going for walks, she is kennel trained (she only barks occasionally while in her kennel, but if told no, she stops) and she is also good with other dogs both male and female. If you are interested in Olivia, here are a few things to know: dogs that have been rescued from puppy mills have not always had the opportunity to live the life we are used to giving our pets, so her forever family needs to be patient and kind while helping her to learn about the world and what her expected behaviors should be. It is also important to note that she is not currently housebroken, but she has been making GREAT strides in this area! She is also a bit shy around men, so we are working with her to become more comfortable around a variety of people. Olivia is very social and once she learns that she can trust you, she is a fantastic little snuggler!. For more information, e-mail us at underdogrescue@petml.com To fill out an online adoption application please visit our Website.

If you are calling from another area code and live within 60 miles of Minneapolis, please leave a local telephone number or we will be unable to return your call. We only adopt within 60 miles of Minneapolis, MN. Underdog Rescue animals are fostered in individual homes. While they are in our care, they are part of our families. 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 Solid Gold, Canidae, or Orijen pet food. 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.
