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. Hey there, I'm Anwen, the sweet and happy English Toy Spaniel ready to fill your life with love and snuggles! At 12 pounds, I may be small, but my heart is overflowing with affection for my humans. I'm a true snuggle bug who's always at your feet or racing you to the couch, eager to be picked up for some quality cuddle time. I started off a little timid, but now I'm twinkle toes outside, spinning with excitement on my leash and coming running whenever you call my name. While I haven't quite mastered picking up toys yet, I adore chasing a ball on the ground and love soft treats as rewards for being such a good girl. Stairs may be a bit scary for me, but with a little encouragement and some help from my humans, I have figured out how to go up the stairs. Yay me!! We are still working on going down the stairs. I'm great with kids and other dogs of all sizes—I'm currently living happily with three other furry friends in my foster home. And I adore the kids in my foster home! When it comes to bedtime or when my humans are away, I'm crate trained and as quiet as a mouse. I may not be a big barker, but I'll let out a little whine of excitement when I'm feeling extra happy. I understand commands like "go potty," but mostly, I just want to be with my humans, snuggling up on their laps or burying myself in blankets. If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate companion who's always ready for a snuggle session, look no further than yours truly, Anwen! I can't wait to find my forever home with a family who loves to shower me with love and affection. PLEASE READ: Note that Anwen has an oversized under bite and needs softened food and sometimes hand fed. Her tongue hangs out her right side of mouth due to teeth being removed on that side. Can eat treats but needs help as will drop multiple times before eating. Please be aware that canned food, raw food or softened food is often more expensive than kibble. *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.
