Do you have a nickname? I do. It’s “Fi-Fi.” My fosters think I must be French being I have been known to occasionally “French kiss” them when I’m giving sweet kisses. What’s a girl to do. Hahaha!
Being I’m still a puppy, there are so many things I like that it’s hard to choose. So, I’ll just tell you that it’s everything except being in my kennel. Currently, my fosters realized that using an X-pen with me is better for me. I really like playing with other dogs, chewing, snuffle mats and treat dispensers. Also, I don't mind the resident cat.
We are working on all the important puppy skills including leash walking. With a little more practice I will be a champion! I probably need to tell you that I bark in my kennel. So maybe no shared walls. We are doing great on potty training and with a good schedule I am getting on a routine. I am also learning new words! I know sit, come, leave-it and outside. Pretty smart, right?!
Give me a chance to show you my adorable self and watch my tail spin like a propeller! I’ll even snuggle up with you or my foster furblings until I get too hot and then need to escape to another spot to cool off.
I’m a very smart girl! I know when you take me to puppy school that I will be a quick study and we will learn a lot together. I am really looking forward to finding a forever family that will take me on adventures and teach me new things!
*I’m a growing puppy and I have not yet had a lot of experience with crates, kids or cats and I might bark if something alarms me, but I really love to learn and hoping for a family who will take me to a basic obedience class to continue to help me build confidence and dog skills. Ideally my forever home would need to be home during the day to help me with my potty training and not leave me for breaks longer than 3 - 4 hours. If you are looking for a best friend, please fill out the puppy application. The more info you include on the application the better so I can find a good match for my forever home. Get your toy box ready!
**Obedience classes are required when adopting this puppy from Underdog Rescue. Many of our puppies have a mama who was not properly socialized before coming to Underdog Rescue. Since coming to Underdog, this puppy has been in a socialized and loving home, but that needs to be continued with its Adopters. Training classes teach puppies the ins and outs of being a pet while creating a bond with their new Adopter. Obedience classes are key to creating a relationship with your puppy while having it be a happy and successful member of society. Proof of Obedience Class registration is required for this puppy before adoptions can be finalized. If you would like some suggestions, we would be happy to send some trainers who have experience with Underdog Rescue, but a Basic Obedience class in your area should work!
This puppy requires an application fee. This fee must be paid within 24 hours or your application will be considered void. We will not review or contact applicants that have not completed the payment portion.
Puppy Applications will be responded to within 5 business days, after receipt of the application fee. Please understand that paying the fee does not guarantee you will be approved to adopt the puppy. Our goal is place puppies in homes that are suited for their individual needs. You may be willing and able to provide a great home, but if it doesn’t meet the specific needs of the puppy, we will not approve your application.
We accept applications for puppies until we have a candidate that meets all of the requirements needed for the specific puppy and they have been contacted to review the adoption process as well as agree to all of the terms to move forward.
