Meet Spooky!
Have you been looking for a ball-obsessed cuddle bug? A little dude who prefers to wake up on his own terms? A Chi mix who will win you over with his insistent charm? Then Spooky is your guy! ❤️
Spooky ended up in a shelter in Louisiana after his owner passed away. Luckily, he hitched a ride north and now has a second chance with Underdog Rescue! He’s ready to find a forever family of his own.
Spooky is:
OBSESSED with balls — finding the missing ball is basically his superpower!
❤️ A wonderful cuddler
A fan of walks
Crate trained
About 95% potty trained
Pretty indifferent to most dogs
Respectfully curious about the cat in his foster home
Spooky can happily coexist with other dogs, but he’d also be perfectly content being your one and only . And if you’re willing to play fetch, hide-the-ball, or even try some ball sports with him, you may have just found your new best friend!
Spooky is still working on his focus, obedience, and training, so he’ll need a family willing to continue helping him learn.
If you’re looking for a quirky, cuddly, ball-loving little guy with a whole lot of personality, Spooky might be your perfect match! ❤️
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 adopter’s 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.
If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com>
ADOPTION EVENTS:
Adoption events are updated at the top of each dogs animals' as their foster home signs up. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. If an event is not listed within their bio above, the animal is not planning to attend. 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. We recommend filling out an application and we will set 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, but each bio is written by the foster as they see them, in their home. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality, but it cannot be guaranteed. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves in time and with patience. 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.
