FUN CITY DOGS

Yertle is new to our rescue.  He is a Xoloitzcuintle pronounced SHOW-LOW-EATS-QUEENT-LEE or Xolo (Show-Low).   He is about 6 years old and 21 pounds.  Yertle is a very loving and loyal companion.  He is very alert, calm, protective, loyal and intelligent and wants to be near humans.  He's a little jumpy with loud noises and sudden movements and he is a little shy when you first meet him.  He quickly warms up though and his people become the object of his affection.  He is crate trained & potty trained on a schedule.  He does stairs wonderfully and he's quite a talented climber!  He's learning to walk on a leash and basic commands.  He truly is a wonderful sweet dog, once you get to know him, you are a fan.  He represents this unique, rare, and whimsical breed well.  He often needs a sweater or jacket especially in MN winters to stay warm, but they also heat up quicly & keep their humans warm.  For more info on this breed go to:   http://www.animalplanet.com/tv-shows/dogs-101/videos/xoloitzcuintli/

He truly is a dog you will fall in love with. He makes an excellent companion and friend and does not need another dog in the house because he only has eyes for humans.

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:

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.
