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 WEEK'S ADOPTION EVENT AT THE PETCO IN BROOKLYN PARK, SATURDAY, 1/17/04, FROM 11-3*** Zamboni, aka Max, is a very sweet & loving guy! He is a red, smooth miniature Dachshund. He is 7 years of age. Max loves to go on walks, which is great but cause, like too many Americans, he is a bit on the hefty side! He weighs 28 pounds & needs to get down to 22 or 23, with human help. He plays very well with other dogs & is great with cats. Max is also completely housebroken. He is looking for a loving home complete with a personal trainer who will take him on his much enjoyed walks & help him to stick to his diet. He is on a canned only diet now which will help him to shed his excess weight more quickly. He should remain on that for about 3 more weeks & gradually be switched back to an all-natural dry food, such as Innova Senior, once some of his weight has come off. For more information or to meet Max, please e-mail us at underdogrescue@petml.com or call Shannon at 952-929-0777.

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.
