9;s Misha, and I'm here to brighten up your world with my wagging tail and endless love!
I'm a merry little Cocker Spaniel gal, weighing in at a perfect 18 pounds. Yep, I'm just the right size to fit into your heart and home! At 4 years young, I'm all about embracing life to the fullest and spreading joy wherever I go.
Let me tell you a little bit about myself. First things first, I'm a total social butterfly! Cats, dogs, humans—you name it, I love 'em all! I'm the kind of pup who's always up for making new friends and showering them with cuddles and kisses.
Now, when it comes to playtime, I'm all in! Give me a stuffed animal or a squeaky toy, and I'll be as happy as can be. Oh, and treats? Don't even get me started! I'm a bit of a foodie, and I'll do just about anything for a tasty snack. But hey, who can blame me? Treats are just too irresistible!
Living in a cozy home is where I thrive. I'm doing great with potty training and wil need a little more practice in my forever home to get on a routine. Just so you know that I am a smart gal and I'm not afraid to let you know when nature calls! We are practicing using a bell to go out and I am figuring it out! And while I may not be head over heels for my crate, I'm a good sport about it and will happily hang out inside when needed.
Leash walking is a bit of a new adventure for me, so bear with me if I get a little tangled up! But hey, I'm a quick learner and I'm already mastering commands like "sit." Plus, I'm a pro at coming when called, even if I do let out a little bark here and there to announce something exciting.
So, what do you say? Are you ready to invite a sweet, playful, and downright adorable pup like me into your family? I promise to fill your days with laughter, love, and plenty of tail wags. Let's embark on this journey together and create paw-some memories that'll last a lifetime!
With love and wags,
Misha
*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.

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:
.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, 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 .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.
