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. Want to meet me? Come to Broken Clock Brewing & Celebrate "SANTA PAWS" (1712 Marshall St NE Suite 100, Minneapolis, MN 55413) for an Adoption Event on Saturday September 21st, 2:00-4:00 pm. Please email inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com for questions regarding the dogs. Hi, my name is Chedder and I am a sweet, loving and happy boy ready for a furever family! I am about 1.5 years old, tall but slender, love people, love dogs and am great with cats! Some of my most favorite things are toys, playing with dogs, running, snuggling and FOOD! I will eat dog treats, my food, healthy human food or anything I can get my mouth on. Probably a good idea to keep food out of reach because if given the chance I may snag it! At my foster home, I have met many other dogs and humans and have been a sweetheart to everyone! I am working on manners in the home and am learning so quickly. My foster dog and cat siblings are teaching me so much about respect with their space and how to properly play. I am great in my crate overnight and during the day, but I may whine or bark for about 5 min before settling. I am potty trained and am working on learning many obedience skills. I have mastered sit, down, Place and kennel. I am working on off, touch, come and some other fun tricks my foster mom likes to do! I have enjoyed eating my food from puzzles, snuffle mats, kongs or lick pads. I am very smart and brain games help keep me entertained. My ideal home would be with a family who would love me unconditionally and be okay if I want to live in their skin – hee hee! I prefer to be around my people as often as I can. Whether that be sleeping on a dog bed close to them, laying on top of them on the couch or walking around the home with them as they do chores. I do require entertainment and exercise each day so I can be on my best behavior. Walks and playtime are required! Having a dog companion would be great but is not required as long as I am able to get exercise. When meeting a new dog, I can come off overly excited so a slow introduction is best for us to get to know each other! I cannot wait to meet my family and love them forever! *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.
