My name is Quentin and I am new to rescue! I am a Havanese, about 9 years old and 12 pounds.
There is so much to learn about being a dog and I am taking steps every day to learn what a normal life can be like! I am very quiet and shy and have been a quick learner. I am already navigating stairs, walking on a leash, I'm crate trained and am potty trained as long as I get out regularly.
Since I am still learning the ropes, I will need a home with another fur sibling to teach me the ways of the dog. I am treat motivated and a great eater so training should be easy peasy. I've learned that I love to run around and play and love the outdoors. I enjoy relaxing with people the most though! I bet you are imagining how cute I am and how much wonderful cuddling we could accomplish in a day together!
I am happy napping in my doggie bed or in your lap or by your side. Even though I am from a puppy mill, I warm up to people quickly and am destined to be a great snuggler. I just need some practice and some love and I will get there! I am an easy to care for snuggly pup and am looking for a family to love. Could you be that family?!
Many of our dogs are rescued from commercial breeders where they spent their lives getting comfort from their canine friends. In turn, most require another companion dog in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog, and do not currently have a dog residing with you, please understand that your home might not be the right fit for many of our dogs.

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:
The first step in our process is to complete an online adoption application on our website:
Note: In most circumstances Underdog Rescue will only adopt within 60 miles of Minneapolis, MN.
All of our foster animals can be seen by appointment with an approved adoption application. Contact us at http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/contact-us/ if you have further questions.
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.
