She’s a 4 year old, 15 lb Chihuahua. Sunshine (Sunny) is outgoing, loves to play, and is energetic. She’s loving and very snuggly. Sunny loves people, other dogs, and running in the yard. The resident dogs are always up for a game of chase that she leads through the yard. She kennels well when her foster family is gone. Just give her a Kong full of good treats and she’s good to kennel up. She walks on the leash well and enjoys meeting new people. She has been to breweries with no issues and loves all the attention that she receives. She sleeps in the bed at night with no issues. She is housebroken and sleeps at her foster mom’s feet when she works from home. She is really smart. In fact, she’s so intelligent that she would be a great agility dog. She is also learning commands such as: ‘sit’, ‘come’, ‘kennel/crate’, and ‘quiet’. She responds to commands very well and is working on ‘down’ and ‘shake’ as well. She will play fetch with you and will bring the tennis ball until she is tired and then lays down. She loves her stuffy toys and throws them for herself. It’s very amusing to watch. She does well with all friendly dogs and does require another dog in her forever home. She is also good with children but has not been tested with cats. She is pretty quiet too and will bark only when alarmed. Her foster mom says that she will make a great companion for a lucky family. Are you feeling lucky today? 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. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there*** 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: .underdogrescuemn/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 .underdogrescuemn/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 .underdogrescuemn/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.
