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. Hello there! My name is Crumpet, and I'm a six-year-old female Corgi weighing 24 pounds. I'm an absolute joy to have around! I'm sweet, curious, and playful. When I first arrived at my foster home, I was quite timid and shy, but very observant and smart. Within just a few days, I started to show my true personality, gaining confidence and trust in my new surroundings. While I'm still nervous about certain things like fast movements, loud noises, and being grabbed at, I'm getting better every day. I've learned the household routine very well and have gotten potty training down quite nicely. I go into my crate to eat, sleep, and nap throughout the day while my foster mom works. I'm fairly quiet, though I have let out some playful barks when excited or when I need to go outside in the morning. Being a Corgi, I might get more vocal as I become more comfortable. I love to approach my humans in the backyard and give them a gentle boop on the ankle to let them know I'm there. I’ve shown some interest in toys but not much. I do well in the car, during grooming, and I'm easy to give medicine to—just hide a pill in some Greek yogurt, and I’m good to go. While I don’t pay much attention to the four resident dogs here, I have played with my foster sibling Corgi a couple of times. So many cute Corgi hops! I do need a fenced yard because I'm not leash trained yet and can be fearful of new things. I tend to freeze when on a leash and will need more practice as my confidence grows. I don't necessarily need another dog in the house as long as my humans are home most of the time. My tongue sticks out, we call it a "perma-blep" (Google "blep" to see how adorable it is!). I’m very loving and sweet and would thrive in a calm, quiet forever home that can offer me unconditional love and patience. If you’re looking for a loving companion with a bit of a quirky charm, I’m the perfect match for you! *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.
