Hi, my name is Frisco and I am a very sweet and gentle Pomeranian. I’ve been told I am cute as a button and have the sweetest smile!

I have a lot of life experience that honestly makes me nearly perfect! I get along great with all dogs, cats and even pet lizards! When no one is looking, I like to play zoomies in the house with my fur sibling. Oh boy, she has shown me so many wonderful things about being a dog like how fun toys, walks, and soft beds are. Another social and friendly dog is required in my forever home to help me learn to be brave, trust people and get on a routine.

Even though I am timid, I love to be near my people. I may not voluntarily snuggle on your lap yet, but I love to cuddle in a comfy bed nearby. I’ve even started sleeping next to my humans on the couch. Where they go, I like to go! If by chance they are going into the kitchen – I am always available for a soft little treat – yummy!! If it’s really yummy, I’ll eat it right from your hand! I used to get very worried when my people tried to pick me up – I would freeze! Now I understand what is going on and with some patience and time I am learning how to snuggle.

I absolutely love going for sniffs…I mean walks…with my humans and fur sibling. I haven’t met a walk I don’t like! Because I do great on a leash, my forever home doesn’t need a fence as long as you promise to take me on daily walks.

Here is a Frisco fun fact – did you know that stairs are one of the most perplexing things? A bunch of tiny cliffs! But do you know how smart I am? I figured it out!! Going up is easier than going down - but I got it! Another little quirk of mine is that I wear a belly band because I sometimes “mark” in the house. Once I settle into my place and know all the smells, I rarely mark, but if I go somewhere new or someone new visits, I tend to mark again. Maybe with some training I could learn!

I sleep quietly in a doggy bed next to my humans and fur sibling– well there is a little snoring once in a while, but let’s just blame foster dad – hee hee! When my family is gone, I tend to bark if my fur sibling isn’t paying attention to me but I do well out of my kennel with my belly band on.

All I need now is a forever home with lots of patience, unconditional love and a spot in your heart to help a tiny little lovebug be the best he can be!

Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders.  Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit.  Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.

ADOPTION EVENTS:   

Adoption events are updated as the foster home RSVP's to attend. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. 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. You may wish to consider applying and setting 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. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves. 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.
