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

* I PLAN TO BE AT THIS SATURDAY'S ADOPTION EVENT, 4/19/08 FROM 12:30-2:30 AT URBANIMAL (located at 2106 Lyndale Ave S. in Minneapolis, ph. for directions is 612-879-0709). New to Rescue: 3/8/08. Pencil is the sweetest puppy, and loves all the attention he can get. Pencil is great with everyone he meets. He also loves dogs and would do great in a home with another dog. Due to his personality it would be best for him to be adopted by someone that already has a dog. He is a little shy at first, due most likely to being treated a little rough before he was rescued. His foster family has been working with him on this, and he has come a long way and trusts people more and more everyday. He is doing very well with his house breaking, and is already crate trained. All that and only 6 months of age! Pencil is not only the sweetest dog ever, he is also the cutest. Check out those ears! He is terrier mix, and possibly Chihuahua. He is a small guy, weighing at 8 pounds. He will likely top out between 10-12 pounds as an adult. Please help us help Pencil! All donations are greatly appreciated. Click Here to Donate Now! If you would like more information on this wonderful dog please contact mrumpho@jvsmn.org (M-F), or a volunteer at 952-929-0777.

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 has been thoroughly evaluated and we have a firm sense of their temperament and personality. All of our foster animals are fed a premium diet of either Canidae, Wellness, Solid Gold or Nature's Variety pet food. Each is given lots of love, as well as bones, toys and pig ears! We look for homes who will continue to give each adopted animal the wonderful life that he or she deserves! Underdog Rescue only adopts within 60 miles of Minneapolis, MN.

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.
