Fall has arrived and I’m ready to fall in love with my forever family.  I’m currently residing with my foster parents and two fur siblings that are just like me (Cav’s).  So I tend to learn from them and sometimes that’s a great thing.  For example, I’m learning to go potty outside (not perfected yet but they’re working on it!) 

I’m a lover of attention and would like nothing more than to be your lap dog!  But I don’t jump on or off the furniture but love for you to lift me up for the love.  We can be binge buddies!

I typically latch on to my person and follow them around.  I’ll follow the other dogs too, just in case they are going to have a treat or play – I don’t want to miss out!

I’m doing great at leash walks (foster mom thinks I walk a tish too close to her but sorry, not sorry).  And I am crate trained.  In fact I even eat in there and when I’m done, I’ll bark to let her know I’d like a refill, but she usually just takes my dish.  Can’t fault me for trying!

Speaking of barking – yeah do that when the other dogs do just to see if we can harmonize.  Haha.  And when you return home, or when foster dad gets home from work, I will sing happy songs in a barking tone.  I won’t be mad if you give me some watermelon, blueberries or green beans for treats either.  I’m healthy that way.

I’m a favorite because of my cuddle skills.  So get your arms and lap ready!  In fact, get my spot on the bed ready because I love to share that with my foster parents too.  Xxxooo, Claire

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 th eir 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:

The first step in our process is to complete an online adoption application on our website:
Note: In most circumstances Underdog Rescue will only adopt within 60 miles of Minneapolis, MN. 
All of our foster animals can be seen by appointment with an approved adoption application. Contact us at http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/contact-us/ if you have further questions.

 

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.
