Hello, my name is Joey. I am a very handsome albeit almost toothless senior Yorkie and foster mom says I’m “awesome!” which is totally true!! Sure, I’m a bit timid but I am the sweetest guy EVER and I’m really starting to come out of my shell. In fact, I allow foster mom to see a bit more of my amazing personality every single day! For example, she learned quickly that I love to nap on the couch, or a comfy bed and I get super excited at mealtime! That said, since I’m sans most of my teeth, I prefer soft things like liverwurst (hint, hint)!
Due to my small size, young kids are not a good fit for me, but I am good with cats and other small dogs like me. By the way, I will need a small doggie companion at my new home and fenced yard where we can safely frolic and explore; I currently try to play with my resident fur sibs, but they play a little too rough which scares me. I could use more leash practice and I will bark when I’m in the kennel/crate because, well let’s face it…who wants to be confined am I right!?! Thankfully, foster mom is wonderful and allows me to sleep on the bed with her and my resident fur sibs. As for potty training, I do great at going outside when given the opportunity, but I must admit that when I’ve gotta go, I’ve gotta go and since I like to keep my family on their toes, I only give about a one-second warning before I go in the house. Needless to say, it would be great if my new family could be home with me so I can be taken outside regularly.
Anyway, I really am an incredibly sweet boy who deserves a life full of snuggles & fluffy blankets from a patient fur-ever family who will love me unconditionally and NEVER give up on me! I promise I’m worth it and the joy we will add to each other’s lives will be immeasurable! Love, Joey
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.
