Hi I'm Almond! I'm a sweet little lady who is looking for a patient and loving family who will love me for who I am and help me continue to find out who I will become. You see, when I first came into rescue I was terrified of people. My foster mama took things slow to gain my trust even when I'd "go squirrel". What's that mean? When I was scared, unlike most dogs who run and hide, I'd climb up things in a flash. I've settled down now and I don't usually climb. The look of fear I had is now happy and I've even been known to sass mom a bit haha. I'd do best in a quiet home with no kids. Their sudden movements and noises would be too scary for me and I don't want to have to hide. I want to be able to follow you around so I can see what you're doing. I'm doing well with being held and gentle scratches from my foster mama. I know I can trust her. When she needs to pick me up she says ready and I turn away and kind of jump into her hand as she says up then scoops in me close to her. Oddly enough, I like being groomed. I'm good in the tub, stay still when she towel dries me and I'm not scared of the hair dryer. I even seem to enjoy being brushed. Maybe I just like being pampered haha! I haven't figured out toys though I watch others with them. I do need a secure yard and I know I'm supposed to do my business out there. I'm still working on the potty training, so potty pads inside might be a good idea too. I do also need a confident doggie friend that I can follow so I can learn the routine in my new home. Don't worry because I'm smart and catch on pretty quick. My kennel is my safe place and I will pop in and out of it during the day. If the door is closed I feel a bit more confident and I'll give your fingers little kisses if you stick them in with me. You can also offer me treats that way and I'll very gently take them from you. If you have room in your heart and are kind and patient and willing to help me continue my journey into becoming who I was meant to be, then I'll take a breath and do my best to be brave when we meet.

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.
