Description:

Thank you for stopping by to see me! Please fill out an application to set up a private meeting. Nevada is the perfect mix of spice and snuggle—a little pocket-sized adventurer with a whole lot of opinions and an even bigger heart. At first glance, she may give you the “I’m not so sure about you yet” side-eye, but don’t be fooled. Once she decides you’re her person, she turns into the cuddliest little shadow who wants nothing more than to curl up with you after a day of exploring. She’s endlessly curious on walks, trotting along like a tiny detective gathering clues about the neighborhood. She’s polite, intelligent, and wonderfully well-mannered on leash, the kind of girl who makes strolls feel peaceful… unless a large dog walks by. Then she’d like you to know she has thoughts, opinions, and an impressive bark reserved just for them. Small dogs are her preferred crowd, thank you very much. At home, Nevada is a one-dog fetch machine. Baseball? Squeaky ball? Soft ball? Mystery ball she dug out of the toy bin? If it can be thrown, she’s ready. She wakes up every morning like it’s game day, tail wagging, eyes sparkling, fully prepared to chase whatever you’ve got. Afterward, she turns into a cozy little burrito who prefers human beds, human pillows, and anything that is not a dog bed. She’s not super treat-motivated, but she’ll happily accept a post-walk snack as a polite reward for being the excellent girl she already knows she is. Nevada is potty trained, crate trained, loves her walks, listens beautifully when corrected, and is equal parts goofy and sweet. She does get a little jealous when her person gets attention from others—she takes loyalty seriously—but she’s learning every day that love can be shared. She’s unsure of kids and big dogs, so a quieter home with adults or older kids and small dog friends would suit her perfectly. She may take a day to warm up, but once she does, she becomes the kind of dog who looks at you like you hung the moon. Nevada hasn’t had the easiest start, but she’s ready—truly ready—to settle into a home where fetch is plentiful, beds are soft, and someone finally sees how special she is. 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*** If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <[email protected]> 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.
