Hello, my name is Bear. I am a very handsome, happy, and curious boy who’s a bit cautious with new people but I usually warm up quickly and then I will share my playful side! Hee, hee!! I love to play with balls (especially fetch), follow my people around, snuggle, and run in the yard so I will need my new yard to be fenced! Additionally, I have been known to sneak out an open door so great care and training is a must to help ensure I stay safe.
I am crate trained. I have not met any cats and I can be a bit mouthy when playing so small children is not be a good fit for me, but I am good with other dogs. I am still working on leash etiquette, but I am potty trained, and I know a bunch of commands like “sit”, “down”, “wait”, “go potty”, and “ball” so you can tell I’m a genius and I would love for my new family to teach me more wonderful things!
Foster mom is amazing because she’s helping me get ready for my new home with YOU hopefully! I am really a sweet boy who is simply looking for patience, unconditional love, and the promise that I will NEVER be given up on! Will YOU please be my new family? I assure you that I’m totally worth it and I will fill a whole in your heart you may never even knew existed! Love, Bear
*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. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopters expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. 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:
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.
