Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.  Meet Lulu the Maltese — Looking for Her Forever Home! ❤️ Sweet Lulu is still learning about the comforts of home and discovering what it means to feel safe and loved. She’s a curious little girl who enjoys exploring her surroundings and being held by her trusted humans. Lulu loves having a furry friend! She follows her foster sister around and seems to take comfort in having another dog nearby. She enjoys picking up little toys, especially soft or rubber ones, even if she hasn’t quite figured out how to play with them yet. Lulu is still building her confidence and will need a patient, understanding family willing to let her settle in at her own pace. The world can be a scary place for this little girl, and she is very fearful of new things. She is not leash-trained yet and is a flight risk, so her safety will need to be a top priority while she learns to trust her new surroundings. Lulu is looking for a home that offers: A patient, loving family who will give her time to blossom. A friendly companion dog to help her feel safe and secure. A safe, secure environment with extra precautions to prevent escapes. Gentle encouragement as she learns about leash walking and the big world around her. Plenty of love, cuddles, and understanding. ❤️ Lulu may need a little extra time to feel comfortable, but with patience, consistency, and a canine friend by her side, she deserves the chance to discover just how wonderful life can be. ✨ Could you be the safe haven this precious little Maltese girl has been waiting for? 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.

She is a sweet, loving, and slightly shy girl who is looking for her perfect forever home. While she takes a little time to warm up to new people, once she bonds with you, she becomes your loyal, velcro shadow. Here is everything you need to know about this wonderful pup: 🐶 Social Life & Companions * Dogs: She loves having other dog friends! Because she is small, she does best with dogs that are not too big. * Cats: She is completely cat-friendly and absolutely loves her foster mom's cat (even though the cat is twice her size!). * Kids: She would do best in a home with older, respectful children who understand her boundaries while she warms up. 🏡 Home Requirements * Yard: She needs a fenced-in yard to stay safe while she plays and explores. * A Furry Guide: She requires a doggy sibling in the home to help show her the ropes and build her confidence. * Toys: She has a big personality when it comes to playtime and loves playing with toys. 🐾 Training & Routines * Potty Training: She is currently working hard on relearning her potty training and is doing very well * Commands: She is a smart girl who already knows several commands. * Kennel & Sleep: She will willingly kennel up when you need to leave the house. While she has slept in her kennel at night, her true wish is to snuggle up right next to her person in bed. Adoption fee: $895

Age: 3 years old Weight: 6 lbs Dog friendly: Yes, requires companion dog in the home Cat friendly: Yes Kid friendly: Yes Potty pad trained: Yes Crate trained: Tolerates the crate but does not love it. We're working on it :) REQUIRED: Companion dog within the home & a physical fence Adoption fee: $795 Hi, I’m Jericho, a sensitive Maltese gentleman seeking companions (thoughtfully-introduced dogs, cats, and humans of all ages) for playtime, snuggles, and walks in a sling. I was quite the stud in my former breeder home, but I never learned to trust others or be myself. My current lady is helping me find my inner puppy. Who knew squeaky toys, zoomies, and doggy stairs were this much fun? She thinks my love of food—turns out cucumbers, melon, and apples are almost as delicious as doggy treats!—might make forever-home training easy once I learn to relax a bit more. For now, I prefer using indoor potty pads and staying safely tucked inside a sling when outdoors. I’d love a friendly, confident dog sibling to teach me skills, which would be easiest in a fenced yard. It will keep me safe too! Some might call me needy because I prefer to be on or near my companion at all times, but I do great unkenneled for up to six hours alone. I do get barky when anyone enters the house, though I hush and run to my safe spot within seconds. Ready for a date? I’ll bring my expressive ears, soft, hypoallergenic fur, and sweet disposition. You bring patient willingness and All The Treats. I really love treats! Give me treats. Love, Jericho 🐾
