Hello, my name is Octavia. I am a gorgeous and very sweet albeit shy young adult female Goldendoodle, but I have come a long way since living with foster mom. Although I am still fearful of commotion, loud noises, and unfamiliar spaces, I am very proud to report that not only have I learned to navigate stairs, but I am no longer fearful of TVs, or large spaces. That said, I may bark if something alarms me so I would prefer that my fur-ever home be a quiet one.
I have not met any kids or cats, nor have I figured out what I’m supposed to do with toys, but I have learned that I love eating chicken & bacon and napping next to mom’s desk. Hee, hee!! I am still afraid to venture off on my own and try new things or go outside on my own. In fact, sometimes I won’t come out of my kennel/crate for bathroom breaks but I do LOVE being with my people so if they’re outside, I like to be there with them. I don’t have much leash training and potty training is a work in progress. Full disclosure, I have been known to potty in the house if I’m nervous or bored, but I am confident that I will master potty training if I can stay on a consistent routine. That said, I will need to have a fenced yard at my new home and a confident, social doggie companion who will help me learn how to be the best house dog I can be. Hee, hee!!!
Anyway, I am such a wonderfully sweet girl who would never hurt anyone, I simply want to be unconditionally loved and NEVER given up on! My heart is so full of love, and I want more than anything, to share it with a quiet, patient, and committed fur-ever family! I promise if you’ll welcome me into your life, I will love you more than you can imagine! Love, Octavia
**Grooming - this dog's coat may have been neglected before arriving at Underdog and it can sometimes take months to get their coat healthy as poodles and poodle mixes require daily brushing. Grooming appointments occur every 3 months and cost on average of $150 per appointment. Adopters should be prepared for such expenses. Underdog Rescue cannot guarantee the non-shedding or hypoallergenic qualities of this dog.

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.
