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. Marion is a joyful and affectionate poodle mix with a goofy personality and a heart full of love. With her long, gangly legs and big paws, she sometimes doesn’t realize how much space she takes up—often reaching out to touch the people she loves just to stay connected. She’s an incredibly cuddly girl who enjoys curling up on laps and snuggling close at bedtime, happily sleeping beside her person through the night. This happy pup has a playful, energetic spirit and loves spending time outdoors. Whether she’s chasing balls, carrying sticks, or exploring the yard, Marion enjoys being active and soaking up the fresh air. She can catch a ball but doesn’t always remember to bring it back—she’s a bit more interested in the fun of the chase! A fenced yard would be fun for her, as she truly enjoys having space to run and play. If not, she kindly asks for daily walks and time outside. Marion is also very social and friendly. She’s curious and excited when meeting new people and dogs, sometimes greeting them with enthusiastic jumps that will improve with a little practice and training. She absolutely loves playing with the resident dog in her foster home, and the two spend hours wrestling, playing, and entertaining each other. Because of this, Marion would love a home with another dog of similar size, or a family with several people who can give her plenty of attention and companionship. She’s an intelligent girl who already knows a few basic commands like “sit,” “outside,” and “quiet,” and she clearly has the ability to learn more. Since she is very food motivated, training will be a great opportunity to build her skills and confidence. She walks on a leash with a harness but can pull when excited, so continued leash practice will help her improve. Marion loves toys—especially soft plush ones that she can happily chew apart to find the squeaker inside. She can also keep herself entertained with a stuffed Kong filled with peanut butter or puréed squash. When playtime is over, she’s just as content relaxing close to her people. This beautiful girl has soft, chocolate-brown hair and matching warm eyes. Her coat is easy to care for but will need regular grooming to keep it looking its best. She’s comfortable with routine care, happily letting her foster wipe her paws after walks and doing well during car rides. Marion is potty trained, crate trained, and enjoys spending time both indoors and outside. Overall, she is a loving, playful, and intelligent dog who simply wants to be part of a family. In a stable home where she can get plenty of exercise, companionship, and cuddles, Marion will make a wonderful and devoted companion. 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.
