My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

MEET BIRCH!!!

Birch is the SWEETEST, most easy going 2 year-old Pointer/Lab mix! He is timid and shy when meeting new people, but once he warms up, he shows his sweet and wiggly side. He'll need a bit of patience and a few days (about 5) in a new home before he will start exploring and feeling comfortable. Birch seems to warm up to women a bit faster then men.

Birch is a great leash walker! He would love to have daily walks or hikes! He makes an amazing hiking partner.

Birch is housebroken, kennel trained AND doggy door trained! He is very smart and learns new things quickly. He already knows SIT and STAY. He is food motivated so he's easy to teach new tricks.

Birch enjoys his toys, but is not possessive at all. He enjoys a good nylabone or a stuffie to toss around.

Birch is great with kids (his foster home has a 7 yr old) and he is GREAT with other dogs. Smaller kids who run and yell a good deal would be scary, so older (over 5) would probably be best. Birch does need to be adopted into a home with another pup, so that he has a buddy to keep him company... preferably one who has happy-go-lucky playful energy to encourage him to show his playful nature. He also does well with Chickens and Cats!

Birch is a great lounge dog, and does enjoy being comfy on the couch. He is not allowed on the bed in his foster's home, but we are sure he would love to be a bed dog too!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All potential adopters will be required to complete our Adoption Application, read and sign our Adopting Policies and Procedures, and participate in a home visit by one of our adoption representatives. Our Adoption Application is located on our website: www.underdogaz.com.

We also have a mandatory two-week Foster With Intent to Adopt trial period for all animals in order to be certain the pet is a good fit for your family.

Our standard adoption fee for dogs is $200; puppies are $250.

Non-standard fees do sometimes apply. Puppies younger than six months may have a higher fee. Designer dogs, purebreds, and other toy type breeds may also have higher adoption fees than the standard $200.

We do, however, have discounted fees for dogs that are seniors, a pair of dogs adopted together, or cats. If you are a veteran or an active duty service member, please ask about our partnership with Pets For Patriots.

All Underdog pets are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped prior to adoption.

We are a 501c3 non profit, your donations save lives and are 100% tax deductible.

Go meet their pets

We attend multiple adoption events throughout the valley during Spring and Fall.
If you are interested in a specific pet, please complete our adoption application found on our website and we can then coordinate a meet and greet.
