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. Hi there! My name is Angela, and I'm a 3-year-old Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier with a sweet personality and a soft, fluffy coat that people can't resist petting. I weigh about 28 pounds, and while I'm a little shy when I first meet new people, I promise it doesn’t take long for me to warm up. Once I do, I’ll greet you with my signature “butt wiggles” and a big smile every time you come home. My foster mom says I light up the whole room when I’m happy! Right now, I’m learning to build my confidence because the world can feel a little overwhelming, especially when it’s loud or busy. I’ve come a long way, though! I’ve discovered I enjoy going for walks, sniffing all the smells, and trotting along nicely on a leash. Sometimes I get startled by strangers or loud noises, but with a little patience, I calm right down. I’d love a human who enjoys leisurely strolls like me—plus, it helps me stay on track with my potty schedule. I’m almost potty trained, but I still need someone to keep me on a regular routine. I might be a little stubborn sometimes, but I’ll reward your patience with so much love and loyalty. I don’t alert when I need to go out, so I need someone who can stick to a consistent schedule to help me avoid accidents. When I’m not out walking, I love lounging at home. I’m a pro at being your work-from-home buddy, curling up in my bed next to your desk. I’m also discovering my playful side and adore plush, fluffy toys. I’m very easygoing with other animals. I get along great with dogs and cats, and while I haven’t met kids yet, I think I’d do well with gentle and patient ones. I don’t need a fenced yard because I’m doing great with leash training, and I don’t need a furry sibling as long as my humans are around most of the time to keep me company. I’m still learning basic commands, but I’m smart and eager to learn with a little guidance. If you’re looking for a sweet, calm, and loyal best friend, I’m your girl. I can’t wait to find my forever home where I can continue to blossom and share all the love I have to give! Will you be the one to help me live my best life? *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.
