I do ok with slow intros with calm dogs that ignore me but I would love to be an only dog so I don't have to share your love.  I'd likely be best in a home without kids.  I'm sure you're kids are great but I don't think they're for me.  I love walks and I know how to potty on leash or in a fenced yard if you have it.  I'm kennel trained and doing well on potty training.  I just need a patient family who will love me and give me a chance and you'll see what a great dog I really am.  Are you my perfect match? *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. 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.

Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.    DOB: 6/4/22 Requires another dog in home: Yes, required Okay with dogs of all sizes: Yes Okay with cats: Yes Okay with children under 12 years old: Unknown Weight: 12 lbs Requires a fenced yard:  Yes, needs a fenced yard Note: dogs must always be leashed whenever outside of a contained area. Invisible/ underground fencing is not recommended for most rescue dogs. Hello, my name is Elmo. I’m an incredibly precious young adult male Chiweenie with a lot of puppy-like energy! I am a smart boy who knows commands like “leave it” and “go potty” but I’m very timid and afraid of things like loud noises, commotion, children, and most people in general! Additionally, I do not like the crate and will yell if I’m in there; I will poo outside, but I wear a belly band inside; and I have limited leash experience because I can’t seem to stop myself from showing off my inner Houdini by wriggling out of my leash and harness. I am, however, always respectful of cats and good with other dogs so I will need a doggie companion when I go to my new home. All that said, once my humans have earned my trust, I am the sweetest, most affectionate little guy you will EVER meet! I am also very playful, and I LOVE to chew and run! That means that not only does my new family need to get the toy box ready with lots of chew toys, squeakers, and bones, but my new yard will need to be securely fenced so I can safely demonstrate my amazing ‘zoomie’ techniques! But most of all…my new family should get ready for cuddles because this guy LUUUVVVVS me some bed snuggles at night!!! I may be little, but my heart is bigger than the universe and it’s full of lovable sweetness that I dream of sharing with a patient, unconditionally loving fur-ever family who promises to NEVER give up on me. Please welcome me into your life and I promise that I will love you more than you could EVER possibly imagine!!

He’s 8 years old and 6lbs of confidence and independence. He’s a friendly and happy little dude too. He loves to relax, snuggle, and be with his foster mom. He adores being pet and held! He’s a great desk/office buddy! He is potty trained and does his business outside. He is crate trained too. He walks well on leash and loves walks. He does require a fenced in yard, he loves the freedom of it and doesn’t do his business well when he’s on leash.  He’s learning some words too: ‘leave it’, ‘go potty’, ‘come’, 'sit' and he knows his own name! He occasionally barks when left alone, if he is in the Xpen outside, if he wants to be with his foster mom, or when he's playing with other dogs or toys. He doesn’t like other dogs in his personal bubble. He would rather be the one to approach another dog vs the dog approaching him, so he likes other dogs on his terms only and has never met larger dogs either. Dusty has recently discovered toys and is starting to play with them more and more! He has also started playing with some of his doggy foster siblings, foster mom, and doing zoomies! It's so cute and fun to watch!  Dusty likes being the sassy, confident, bossy dog. He does pretty well with his foster siblings and dogs he knows and lives with! He is the most bossy towards new dogs and is definitely more bark than bite. He does best with smaller dogs who are submissive and/or non reactive and don't care if he's the boss. Dusty is a total goofball. He can be possessive of toys and food related items towards other dogs and his foster mom is working on correcting this behavior. He is submissive with humans and LOVES people! He likes being the center of attention. If you quit petting him or pet another dog he’ll work his way back to your hand! He adores snuggles, pets, kisses, being held and being loved on! He’s ready to find his forever home and start his new life. He is a lovable fluff ball who is so dang cute and he’ll make you laugh and smile everyday! Just look at his sweet face!    Many of our dogs are rescued from commercial breeders where they spent their lives getting comfort from their canine friends.  In turn, most require another companion dog in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog, and do not currently have a dog residing with you, please understand that your home might not be the right fit for many of our dogs. ***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.
