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.  Montgomery is a gentle, affectionate soul who lives for snuggles and warm laps. Once he feels safe with you, he’ll stick close and happily soak up all the love you’re willing to give. His life philosophy is that every day is a brand new opportunity for him to get love from his humans. He has recently discovered the joy of toys, and watching him play is absolutely heart–melting. Even though Montgomery studies very hard and tries his best, he's still working on his potty training, leash skills, and crate training. He requires a home with no shared walls as he will loudly voice his complaints when you leave. This sweet boy also has a heart murmur, which will require ongoing veterinary monitoring. While this doesn’t stop him from enjoying life, his future family should be prepared to keep up with regular checkups to ensure he stays healthy and comfortable. Montgomery’s ideal home is one filled with kindness, patience, and plenty of cuddles. If you’re looking for a loyal little companion with a heart full of love (and a few quirks that make him extra special), Montgomery might be the perfect addition to your family.  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. Your donation will help us buy dog food and pay for medical costs. Visit this link  www.underdogrescuemn.com/donate   to donate.  (Please note: A Paypal account is not necessary to use Paypal.

✨ Introducing Skyla’s Charmling Girls! ✨ That’s right — it’s girl power with this adorable crew of seven little ladies! These cuties are now available for pre-adoption. Skyla’s girls are 4-week-old Shih Tzu mixes, each weighing about 1 pound of pure sweetness. In the beginning, this little family needed extra help — the puppies were supported by a wonderful bottle feeder and even received nursing help from another amazing mama dog, ABCDE, so that Skyla could rest and regain her strength. Thanks to all that love and teamwork, everyone is now thriving. Their foster family has been fantastic about early socialization and gentle handling, so these pups are already getting used to people, cuddles, and everyday life. If you’re ready to reserve one of these tiny charmers, now’s the time! 💕🐶 Apply to pre-adopt today! Puppies are only available for local adoption in the San Antonio area.
