My story

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

MEET SMAUG!

Smaug is a very happy goofy boy. He is not very demanding of attention and likes to play with his toys just in the company of a human. Smaug is a quick learner, but would need to be trained on your household's routine. Separation anxiety and things going on outside can sometimes get to him, but he is very easy to calm down. Smaug is great with kids and can be high energy at times. Smaug has been around other dogs. Smaug loves hoses and his mini pool and all sorts of water. He takes treats very gently, but is still learning how to be more gentle taking toys (he just gets too excited). Walks great on a leash with pulling happening less frequently. He would love to meet you and has a butt that never stops wiggling. From day one Smaug sits and waits for his meals and is so patient with all food. Smaug loves a good bath and belly rubs. He will require bringing a toy on each walk to show off. Has basic training, but will need more depending on your situation and lifestyle with him. Smaug is a great guy and looks forward to meeting you!

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.

Underdog's mission also includes educating the public on the issue of animal welfare. We strive to promote shelter reform, spay and neuter education and emergency rescue information & assistance.
