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

Saturday, November 15th, 12:30-2:30 at Pet Stuff in Minnetonka

Little Nikko arrived to Minnesota less than a week ago and was very shy. His dad is a Shiba inu and his mom is a Shar Pei/French Bulldog mix. After some exploration of his new foster house, this 3 month old puppy found a spot on the sofa and buried himself behind a big fluffy pillow. His appetite is good and he is eating all his food when given. He seems to be adjusting well and can occupy himself playing under the dining room table and chairs (his own personal Jungle Gym). He is learning about the resident dog and has met the two resident cats. Nikko is sleeping through the night in a crate. He seems to have one half of potty training down already! He's still tentative on the leash and does not really know what is happening when on a leash. He is shy around adults but when you get him to sit on your lap he just snuggles in and will remain there for hours. He is inquisitive and alert in his exploration of his foster home, although the stairs are still a mystery to him. However, little Nikko seems to be learning how to maneuver then.

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.
