My story

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

MEET ERNIE!!

Ernie is a senior Pug/Chihuahua mix with a heart full of love and a soul that’s ready to relax into retirement. At 35 pounds, this silver-faced sweetheart spends most of his day lounging in his cozy dog bed or curled up near his favorite humans. He’s all about affection and snacks—though he could stand to lay off the treats just a bit to stay healthy!

Ernie is hard of hearing and has some arthritis, but he’s otherwise a healthy guy. He’s house-trained, uses a doggy door, and gets along well with children and other dogs. Ernie is a gentle, affectionate presence and would thrive in a calm home where someone is around most of the day to keep him company.

If you’re ready to give a sweet senior his golden years in comfort and love, Ernie just might be your perfect match.

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.
