She gets along well with all dogs, though she’s a bit wary of larger ones.

Hi, I'm Ghiradeli! I'm from Alabama. She is listed and a Chi-Terrier mix, with the "lively, quick, alert and devoted characteristics of a Chi and the affectionate, spunky and playfulness attitude of a terrier. She often is jumping up to see who is at the door, and enjoys watching out the window, yet she does so without barking. As of 5/5/24, she weighs 11 lbs and has a silky short coat with very minimal shedding, and large light brown eyes. The tips of her ears flop down, but given the right wind, can float up (similar to a Chi!) Ghiridelli is a people-dog, and will be devoted to her humans; but also want to play with my dog. She has not exhibited anxiety when going into the crate, and although she enjoys the company of her humans, she will go into her bed in the same room. We leave the door of it open during the day, and she will go in there on her own and sleep. When following a schedule, she is potty trained, but I have not known her long enough to trust her uncrated by herself. Additionally, she sleeps throughout the night, happily entering it without struggle. She does make cute dream/snoring sounds sometimes, and I wonder if she is running in her sleep! Training wise, she is very eager to learn and is highly food motivated! I would recommend doing training classes because she is so intelligent and it would be a mentally stimulating environment, but it isn't necessary! She has sharp teeth at the moment, but has not chewed on cords, shoes etc. She does get over excited when giving kisses, and sometimes her sharp teeth get involved, but that is redirect able and not intentional. Two areas that I would want to address would be recall (as she is very fast, and loves to sniff things so it is sometimes hard to get her attention back) and jumping (she just wants to see what is going on!). We have not achieved loose-leash walking, but she does respect her leash and will walk while it is attached. The final thing would be that a fenced yard would be wonderful for her, or at the ability to have access to an area that she could run without fear of escaping.

Hi! I'm Tiny Batman! I'm from Alabama.

Hi! I'm Otis! I'm from Arkansas! From his foster: Otis is a sweet puppy. He likes playing with toys and his sibling. He often comes up to have a snuggle before taking off to find some puppy fun or he will settle in your lap or next to you and have a nap. He is very much a typical puppy with puppy energy. Potty training is going well on a schedule with frequent let outs. If we miss a cue to go outside he has been pretty good about using a puppy pad. Otis sleeps in his crate at night and is doing well. I work from home so he is not crated too much during the day but we do crate him when we are gone. Otis is a shy pup. He's not going to be the puppy who runs up and greets everyone he meets but we are trying to get him more socialized so he is more comfortable around people he doesn't know. I think he would be most happy with another dog in the home or a person who is home more often than not. He is currently pretty mouthy when playing like most puppies but we are working on that and trying to redirect to toys or chews. As a result I think young kids might not be the best for Otis. Otis is not super food motivated. We put his food down and he'll eat it when he's ready and it usually takes awhile for him to finish his serving. Otis likes to be outside and likes going for walks. He's doing really well walking on a leash. Otis has done really well in the car. We have taken him shopping at some dog friendly stores and he has done well. Otis will make a great addition to his forever family! Once you gain his trust is a sweet affectionate boy.

Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.    DOB: 10/01/2015 Requires another dog in home: Yes, needs another confident dog Okay with dogs of all sizes: Yes, dog friendly dogs Okay with cats: Unknown Okay with children under 12 years old: Unknown Weight: 13 pounds Requires a fenced yard:  Yes, needs a fence  Note: dogs must always be leashed whenever outside of a contained area. Invisible/ underground fencing is not recommended for most rescue dogs. Hello, my name is Jessie and I am the perfect combination of sweet and gentle. I am a timid and shy girl who is making tremendous progress living in a home with a loving family. I have learned so many things – the most important is to trust my people. My people have been very gentle and going slow with me and I have made a lot of progress. She gives me little massages on my head and back – it is so relaxing for me and my people. I have the softest coat and I think you will agree! I am a shy little girl, so having a confident dog in my forever home is required. Another dog will be helpful to show me the ropes, help me get on a routine and help me feel comfortable in my surroundings. Foster mom tells me with a little time and a lotta love, I will come out of my shell and be a great friend to my people. A lot of commotion worry me a bit, so I spend time in my comfy bed watching the activity in the house. Hopefully you have lots of comfy beds for me! Potty training is going great, my foster mom carries me outside and I am good about doing my business on a routine. While I will go potty on a leash, I don't know how to go for walks yet so will need a fence. Maybe there is another dog in the house to show me how to walk on a leash? Hopefully! Anyway, I am ready for my forever. My forever family, my forever home and my forever best friend that will love me unconditionally, not give up on me! I promise I’m worth it and I will fill that hole that you possibly never even knew was there!

Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.    How exciting!  I’m so happy knowing I am ready to have my very own forever home and I’m hoping it’s soon.  I may be a bit cautious at first, but trust me, once I realize I'm in a safe and loving environment, my sweet and playful side shines through. I'm learning quickly that I'm surrounded by caring humans, and each day, I'm opening up a bit more. I’m learning so much and starting to come out of my shell. I like having fun with toys, ropes and bones.  I just love playing and also treats.  Every day there seems to be new things to discover and explore. I am showing my people that I am a very smart girl and recently learned the word "sit." I know we will learn so much more together! There are young kids here at my foster home and we have a good time together, too, because they understand my boundaries and are gentle towards me.  Younger kids who are loud and move quickly would not be a match for me.  I do well in my crate and am working on potty training but do well with a good schedule.  We have started practicing leash walking and I am a work in progress. If you promise to keep working with me on leash training, I don't need a fence in my forever home.  I do well with all other dogs (I do prefer the smaller ones) and would benefit from having a confident and social dog in my forever home to help me learn to trust and get on a routine.  Patience is the key as I continue to learn and build trust. I'm destined to become a wonderful companion, and with a little patience and love, I'll be the perfect addition to your family. If you're ready to embark on this journey of trust, love, and playfulness, let's meet soon! *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.

Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.    Hey there, I'm Suzi, your potential new best friend! Let me tell you a bit about myself. I may be a Pom mix weighing in at a petite 15 pounds, but my personality is larger than life. At home, I'm sweet, gentle, and playful—a true good girl through and through. I'm still learning to trust humans, so meeting new people can make me a bit shy. But once I warm up to you, I'm all about those cuddles and scratches. Oh, and chin and back scratches? Count me in! When I'm not snuggling up next to my foster mom, you'll find me napping in cozy dog beds or tearing up the backyard with some epic zoomies. I absolutely adore playing with other dogs, and I'm always up for a game of fetch or tug-of-war. Plus, I'm a foodie at heart—I'll do just about anything for some tasty treats like garbanzo beans, carrots, or chicken. Potty training is coming along nicely, I’m working on doing my business outside or on a washable potty pad indoors. While I'm crate trained and ride like a champ in the car, I feel most comfortable in an x-pen or gated area when left alone. Oh, and did I mention I'm a fantastic mama? I raised six adorable puppies like a boss! But those days are over and I’m ready to be the center of attention. Although I'm still working on leash training, I'm getting better every day. I'll need a fenced yard and a patient owner who can help me build confidence and continue my training. When it comes to grooming, I'm a trooper. I did great at the groomer for my bath and nail trim, even if the dryer was a bit scary. And I'm totally cool with daily brushing sessions at home. Sure, I may bark at strangers or get a little spooked from time to time, but deep down, I'm just a sweet and loving girl looking for my forever home. And if you have other furry friends, no worries—I get along great with cats and dogs alike. I may have some hurdles to overcome, but watching me blossom and grow more confident is truly something special. So, if you're ready to open your heart and home to a girl like me, let's make it official! *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.

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, 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.
