Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.    Hi there, I'm Trudy, a very timid and shy Cocker Spaniel. I'm only 2 years old and weigh about 20 pounds. Life has been a little overwhelming for me, so I'm still learning to feel safe and loved in a home. I'm a bit of an anxious girl, and loud noises or sudden movements can startle me. I tend to pace and pant both inside and outside, and I get especially scared around doors. I might freeze or even fear pee when someone tries to pick me up, but I'm slowly getting better with time and patience. When I'm in a new place, like the vet or a busy area, I might shake and feel very scared, so a calm and quiet environment is best for me. I'm not potty trained yet, but I'm working on it, and I'm also getting used to my crate, though I can be a bit restless. I recently started taking treats from my foster's hand, which is a big step for me! One thing you should know is that I absolutely love being around other dogs. They help me feel safe, and I rely on them to show me that everything is okay. That's why I need to be in a home with at least one other dog that is confident and social around people. I don't have any experience with leashes, so a fenced yard is required in my forever home. A fenced yard will also keep me safe as I am a flight risk. I'm very sensitive to loud noises, thunderstorms, and even some men, so I'd do best in a home without children and with a kind, patient person or family. Despite my fears, I have a lot of love to give. In the mornings, I do a little happy dance with my wagging stub, which is my special way of showing joy. I'm learning about home life, and with your love, patience, and understanding, I know I can become the sweet, loving companion you've been looking 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.

I’m a 6-year-old English Cocker Spaniel, and I weigh 35 pounds of pure happiness and energy! I’m a playful, curious girl who’s always up for fun and ready to bring joy into your life. My absolute favorite thing in the whole world? Belly rubs! Seriously, I’ll nudge you every chance I get because belly rubs are life. When I’m not asking for rubs, I’m exploring, playing, or enjoying some of my favorite snacks. Sardines, cheese, apples, pickles—you name it, I love it! I also adore chewy treats like beef tendons and chasing after toys. Oh, and when I’m in the yard, I love galloping around, sniffing out bunnies, and (just once!) bringing back a mouse—oops! I’m a dream in my kennel, happy to snooze as long as I’m near my humans. I’m potty-trained, crate-trained, and learning to calm myself down when it’s mealtime. I’ve got some basic commands down, like “sit,” “come,” “kennel,” and “leave it,” and I’m eager to keep learning. Leash walking? Well, I’m working on it. I get excited and like to move faster than the other dogs in the pack, so I’ll need someone committed to walks or even jogs a few times a week. A fenced yard would be perfect for me—I love the freedom to explore and zoom around. I’m friendly with other dogs and people of all ages, though I prefer older kids (8 and up) who’ll appreciate my playful energy. I’m also totally fine being the only dog, as long as my humans are ready to give me plenty of attention. Vacuum cleaners? Not a fan. I’ll leave the room while you clean, but hey, nobody’s perfect! Here’s the deal: I’m sweet, energetic, and eager to please. Whether it’s exercising, cuddling, or just hanging out, I’ll be your loyal companion through it all. If you let me, I’d love nothing more than to curl up next to you at night. Bring me into your life, and I’ll reward you with love, laughs, and endless belly rub requests.
