Hi friend! My name is Perch and I am new to rescue. I am a 2-year old Boxer and looking for a special forever family.
I was born completely deaf. I don’t know life to be any different and being around people who are kind and loving is new to me. I am doing my best to be brave. Since I cannot hear, I would love to be in a home with adults only or maybe with some teenagers, so I don’t have any sneak surprises from behind that I cannot hear (I’ve had a couple from some small children). Having a family who will work with me on my shyness and fears is very important to me. I know I can overcome them! Currently, I am learning hand signals in my forever home and doing well!
I am great with other dogs and need one in my forever home. I am hoping that having a companion dog will help me be brave and that I will have a play time friend. Cats are a different story, I would prefer not to live with cats. I do hope I can live with a bed though! I want to snuggle with you on it all day!!
The last thing I want you to know is that I am potty trained on a schedule! I am a very good girl and if you are looking for a sweet, gorgeous, snuggle bug to help navigate through this dog life, I may be your pupl!
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.
