Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Thank you for stopping by to see me! Please fill out an application to set up a private meeting. Hi! I’m Gilly, a 60-pound Goldendoodle with a gentle heart, a goofy personality, and a serious love for snuggles. If you’re looking for a loyal shadow who will happily follow you from room to room, I might just be your girl. My absolute favorite place to be is right next to my people. During the day, I love laying by your feet while you work, and in the evening you’ll probably find me curled up on the couch soaking up all the cuddles I can get. I’m a very affectionate girl and feel happiest when I’m close to the humans (and animals!) I love. Speaking of animals… I love my cat friend! I like to gently approach him to say hello, and I’m perfectly happy letting him lick me or curl up next to me. Because I enjoy interacting so much, I’d probably do best with a cat who also enjoys doggy friendship. I’m a confident and friendly pup, especially when meeting new people. I get excited to say hello and sometimes get a little mouthy when I’m greeting someone new—I'm just very enthusiastic about making friends! I also enjoy meeting other dogs and love to play, though I’m still learning how to read when another dog might be ready for a break. I enjoy walks and do pretty well on leash, though I can get excited if I see people or other dogs passing by. I’m working on keeping all four paws on the ground and improving every day. Car rides are easy for me—I’m happy to lie down in the back seat and relax for the trip. I’m very close to being fully potty trained. I do best when I’m on a schedule since I’m still learning how to tell my humans when I need to go out. My favorite way to go potty is off leash in a fenced yard, so a home with a fence would make me very happy. When it comes to fun, I love going for walks, lounging outside in the yard, chewing on a good bone, and playing with toys on my own. I also know “sit,” and I’m working on my recall skills like a good girl. One thing to know about me: I really love being around my people. I’m not a super independent dog—I’d much rather be wherever you are. If you’re moving around the house, there’s a good chance I’ll be right behind you making sure I don’t miss anything. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate, slightly goofy companion who will keep you company, make you smile, and happily snuggle up at the end of the day, I would love to meet you. Love, Gilly 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. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there*** Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.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: The first step in our process is to complete an online adoption application on our website: http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/adoptionprocess/ Note: In most circumstances Underdog Rescue will only adopt within 60 miles of Minneapolis, MN. All of our foster animals can be seen by appointment with an approved adoption application. 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. YOU CAN HELP: Not able to foster or adopt right now? Please consider sponsoring an Underdog.
