My name is Luna and I am about 5 years old and weigh 48 pounds. I am such a special girl and a survivor. I suffered from burns and have bald spots from my head to down my back. The areas don't hurt anymore, but it's nice to have someone care for my skin and make sure it stays moist. And really, it's just nice to be loved and know I'm safe now.
Despite a rough past, I am a sweet and very friendly pup. It takes me awhile to warm up to new people, but when I do, I want ALL your attention. I'm still adjusting to my new life and some things frighten me, like loud noises, sudden movements, and men. I try to be brave and have proven that I'm resilient. I'll be even more brave if you give me some treats ;)
Along with my bravery skills, I am working on my dog skills. I am house trained, crate trained, and hoping to master that leash soon. My foster mom is teaching me the "kennel" and "off" commands right now. I sometimes have a tendency to jump on people, but I guess that's not the right thing to do. Oops. I thought everyone wanted my sweet hugs and kisses all day long! I'm still learning.
Overall, I am good with dogs, but am often wary during an initial encounter. This causes me to be reactive, usually for just a short time. Slow introductions to other dogs and an owner/family who can understand that I need some extra patience would be so wonderful for me.
I'm looking for just the right home and I hope it's with you!
Many of our dogs are rescued from commercial breeders where they spent their lives getting comfort from their canine friends. In turn, most require another companion dog in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog, and do not currently have a dog residing with you, please understand that your home might not be the right fit for many of our dogs.

ADOPTION EVENTS:
Adoption events are updated as the foster home RSVP's to attend. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. 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. You may wish to consider applying and setting 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. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves. 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.
