Hello, my name is Rye. I am a dashing adult male Shepherd mix who loves attention and needs a lot of stimulation, or I just might find my own entertainment which may be a bit destructive…I’m just sayin’! Hee, hee!! Playing with my people and other dogs is one of my favorite things to do but I can get a little too excited and nippy sometimes so foster mom gently helps me calm down, but I don’t think small kids are a good fit for me! In addition to playing, I love cuddling with my people; barking at anything that moves outside; getting baths and being brushed; chewing on and destroying anything I can find whether bones, chew toys or other things that maybe are not meant for me (hee, hee); and since I have a high prey drive, I love to chase rodents as well as cats so my new home should be feline free!
I do pretty well in new situations if my people are there with me, but I can be a little shy with new people and although I warm quickly to women, I’m more reserved with men and make them work for my attention and trust! Hee, hee!! I also don’t like it when foster mom leaves the room because, quite frankly, I ‘demand’ to be a part of EVERYTHING!! Hee, hee!! Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention how smart I am…I mean, not only am I potty, crate, and leash trained but I know a bunch of commands like “sit”, “stay”, “come”, “kennel/crate”, “wait”, “leave it”, “outside”, “go potty” and will do almost anything for a treat! Hee, hee!!
Anyway, I’m a total love bug who is simply looking for a furever home with a wonderfully patient family who will shower me with unconditional love and NEVER give up on me. If you are ready to welcome some joy and happiness into your life, then I we are meant for each other! I promise I am worth it, and I will light up your world! Love, Rye

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:
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.
