Weight: 14 lbs Dog friendly: Yes, requires one in the home Cat friendly: unknown, not tested Kid friendly: older kids only Potty trained: Yes, good on a schedule Crate trained: No, does not like the crate Izzy is a very smart, playful and goofy typical JRT in so many ways. Once Izzy has chosen you as her person, she is very loving and protective. Whether you are getting home from being gone for hours or just getting out of bed from 2 feet away from her, she will let you know just how happy she is to see you with her extremely fast wagging tail and little love grunts as she dances around you. Izzy LOVES her toys. She typically likes to carry her miniature hedgehogs around in her mouth as she goes about her day, inside and outside. She seems to really enjoy car rides and is usually very quiet and calm until you get to your destination and then she is ready to go. Izzy loves walks and sniffing and for the most part can be easy to take on walks until she sees other dogs and then her protective side comes out and she is quite reactive. Izzy is a huge fan of routine and change can be hard on her. Izzy's past has clearly taught her that people can be scary but with patience and time she is slowly learning to trust. Izzy currently has two foster siblings (a male Shih Tzu mix and a female Beagle) and does well with them. Izzy does best with a calm companion dog that she can take cues from to help her with her anxiety. Izzy can be one of the most rewarding and sweet dogs that you would ever meet if she's given enough time and patience. Adoption Fee: $325

🐾 Meet Dominic 💙 📍 Age: 5 years old ⚖️ Weight: 16 lbs 🐶 Dog Friendly: Yes - requires a canine companion 🐱 Cat Friendly: Unknown 👶 Kid Friendly: Unknown 🚽 Potty Trained: Yes - does well on a schedule 🏠 Crate Trained: Yes - does great when left alone 🌳 Fenced Yard: Not required - does well on leash Dominic is a smart, affectionate little terrier who’s ready to steal your heart! While he may be shy at first, give him a little time and you’ll be rewarded with full-body tail wags and lots of snuggles. He’s a cuddle bug who loves to nap beside you or curl up in bed, though he’s also content and well-behaved in his crate when needed. As an active young terrier, Dominic enjoys long walks, games of fetch, and – most of all – roughhousing with his foster sibling. He must have another dog in the home for companionship and play. He gets along well with all dogs he’s met so far. Dominic is also incredibly smart! He picked up “sit” and “come” in just one day, and is working on “lie down” and “dance.” He’s improving on leash every day and travels well in the car. If you're searching for a bright, fun-loving, and loyal companion — especially one who’ll get along great with your resident pup — Dominic is your guy! 💵 Adoption Fee: $595

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.  Meet Eloise, an adorable female terrier mix with a heart full of potential! This sweet girl is looking for a loving home where she can thrive and build her confidence. While she can be shy around new people, Eloise truly shines in her familiar environment. At home, she's a cuddly companion who loves head scratches and will gently nudge you for a quick hug. Eloise is a social butterfly when it comes to her canine friends! She adores playing with dogs of all sizes, and their presence helps her blossom into a more confident pup. With her keen intelligence, she loves to explore and will often jump up to find the best lookout spots, keeping an eye on the world around her. This clever girl has a big appetite and has been known to sneak a few bites from her friends’ kennels—after all, sharing isn't her favorite thing! For this reason, she prefers to eat in her kennel, where she feels safe and secure. Eloise is kennel trained and is making great strides in her potty training journey. She enjoys quiet, leisurely walks on a leash and is learning to embrace the great outdoors. Eloise's journey of self-discovery is ongoing, and each day she becomes more confident and curious about the world. Eloise would thrive best in a home with another dog to keep her company, and while she's unsure about cats, she may be able to adapt. Given her gentle nature, a home without young children would be ideal. If you're looking for a loving companion to share your life with, consider opening your heart to Eloise. She dreams of becoming a cherished family member and is ready to fill your home with joy! 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.
