Japanese Chin puppies and dogs in Hudson, Wisconsin

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.  Krystal is a gorgeous Japanese Chin with a silky coat, a princess attitude, and a talent for staking out every cozy pillow in the house like it’s her personal throne. She adores her chosen person with her whole heart and will melt into gentle pets, lean in for affection, and hand out the sweetest little kisses. Once she feels safe with you, she becomes your loyal, fluffy shadow who wants to be loved, admired, and occasionally worshiped. She’s a curious explorer who insists on inspecting every corner of every room, and she’s bold enough to hop onto tables if she suspects snacks or interesting treasures might be hiding there. Once, she tried to drink from her foster mom’s glass and sent water flying, and she seemed extremely proud of her investigative work. She loves freeze-dried alligator treats, blueberries, soft beds, fluffy pillows, and rolling around on her back in the grass like a tiny woodland creature living her best life. Outside, Krystal enjoys short walks and slow adventures, especially when she can sniff around like she’s reading the neighborhood gossip. She walks politely on leash, rides well in the car, and is fully potty trained with a good routine. She sleeps quietly in her crate overnight and will give only a brief “how dare you leave me” protest bark when crated during the day. Krystal is sweet, affectionate, smart, and eager to please, but she also has a spicy streak that makes her a bit of a diva. She tends to guard her special person and has strong opinions about sharing love and attention. She can snap when she feels insecure or overwhelmed, and she has been unpredictable at times with adults of all genders. With dogs, she is still learning manners and has shown jealousy toward both males and females, especially if they dare receive attention in her presence. Her favorite foster dog is Sylvester, whom she occasionally “romances,” but even he needs reminders about personal space. Because of all this, Krystal needs an experienced, patient adopter who understands dog behavior and can gently help her feel safe and confident. She would thrive best as the only pet in a calmer home, ideally with one primary person. She’s not a match for children, but she could be a wonderful companion for an adult who appreciates a quirky, loving, slightly dramatic little dog with a big personality. Krystal is beautiful, bright, funny, and full of potential. With the right person who can guide her with kindness and structure, she’ll blossom into the loyal little companion she so badly wants to be. 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.

History: Princess is a beautiful girl who needed a second chance at a good life. She quickly wriggled her way into our hearts with how sweet and loving she is and she would make a great addition to a lucky home of her own soon! A Note from the Foster: Hi, I’m Princess, although my foster family calls me Peanut. My foster mom says I am a 10 pound bundle of sweetness. I’m very shy but I’m starting to understand that this new world is full of snuggles, warm beds and lots of good food. I like to be in the same room with my people and sit near them on the couch. I’d rather not be picked up, though. I sleep quietly in my kennel and keep it clean. As long as I can go outside regularly, I don’t have accidents in the house. I love being outside! I love to chase my foster brother around the yard,even though he’s three times bigger than me. And when we’re done playing, I like to snuggle on the couch with him and my even bigger brother. I’m very quiet. I love food! But I don’t like to eat when anyone is watching me and I don’t like to take treats from anyone’s hands. My foster mom is working with me to get past that so that I can learn things like going up and down stairs and walking on a leash. She says that will really open up my world, but it’s hard for me to trust people right now. I’m working on getting braver and my mom says I’m really making a lot of progress. I’ve come a long way in just a few weeks. She tells me all the time how wonderful I am; I’m starting to believe her. My foster mom and I hope I find a forever family who understands that I’m a timid girl and will give me as much time and patience as I need to get comfortable. We both think I’m a perfect fit for just the right family!

History: Annalise is a beautiful girl who arrived to rescue recently and immediately warmed our hearts. She is officially ready to start her journey in finding her forever home and hopes to find them soon! A Note from the Foster: Annalise’s story is one of quiet resilience and blossoming joy. For the first four years of her life, she knew only the confines of a crate. She missed out on the gentle touch of a loving hand, the freedom to run, and the comfort of a family. But despite that hard start, Annalise has a heart that overflows with hope. Her tail wags endlessly, and her eyes shine with the desire to trust, love, and belong. Personality This little girl radiates happiness. Annalise adores the company of other dogs and finds her greatest joy in play. Big or small, she doesn’t mind—she just wants a buddy who will wrestle and romp with her. Her very best friend right now is a 40-pound Wheaten Terrier, and together they remind us what second chances look like. Though still a bit skittish, Annalise’s determination to connect is inspiring. She leans into her humans, wagging furiously, and when night falls, she longs to be close—curled up by your side, finally feeling safe. Training & Home Life Potty Training: A work in progress, but she’s eager to learn with gentle guidance. Leash Training: She hasn’t yet learned the leash, so a patient family will need to help her discover the outside world at her own pace. Eating Habits: Annalise is a wonderful eater—mealtime is one of her favorite parts of the day! Sleeping Style: At bedtime, she wants nothing more than to snuggle near her people, soaking up the love she missed for so long. Ideal Home Annalise’s perfect home is one filled with kindness, patience, and play. Another playful dog is essential for her happiness—someone who will wrestle, chase, and teach her all the joys of being a dog. Because she isn’t leash trained yet, a secure fenced yard (or safe outdoor space) will give her the freedom she’s never had while keeping her safe. She came from a place of confinement, but her future is bright. With every tail wag, every joyful bounce, and every tentative snuggle, Annalise shows us her bravery and her boundless capacity for love. If you open your heart to her, Annalise will gift you with unwavering devotion, daily joy, and the privilege of witnessing a soul truly set free.

History: Isaac is a super handsome boy who was recently welcomed to rescue and will warm your heart with his smile and happy personality. He has his paws crossed to find his forever home soon! Isaac is deaf but does well despite this! A Note from the Foster: Meet Isaac: 14 lbs of Pure Fun! 🐾 Don’t let my tiny size fool you—I’ve got a big personality! I may be deaf, but I make up for it with a heart full of love, boundless energy, and yes… a lot of barking (I take my job as the neighborhood announcer very seriously). Playing is my favorite thing in the world (seriously… PLAY!!!! 🎾) and I’m always ready for a game. Treats? Yes, please! My eyes light up at the very sight of them. I’m a pro at doing my business outside when kept on schedule, and I sleep soundly in my crate all night (and keep it nice and clean). A fenced yard would be my dream so I can run and explore safely. Chew toys are my jam, and if you’re looking for a constant, loving shadow, I’m your pup. I’d also love a playful dog buddy in my new home to join in all the fun! 🐶💞 If you’ve got energy, toys, snacks, maybe another furry playmate—and don’t mind my vocal side—we might just be a perfect match! 💕
