Hello there, I’m Florence and new to rescue. I am about 8 years old and weigh 9 pounds.
I am looking for a special person or family to take me in. I will need someone loving, gentle, and patient to teach me that people are kind and that I do not have to be afraid of things anymore. I have learned to trust my foster mom, and when I am scared, she will take me in her arms so I can relax. It's so wonderful to feel warm and safe and I'm starting to get used to being held and cuddled. She even lets me sleep next to her at night!
Although I am nervous around new things and people, I am so incredible sweet. Perhaps one of the sweetest little pups around! I even have a playful side once I'm comfortable. Playing with my foster brother is the most fun type of play! Chewing on bully sticks comes in at a close second. My foster brother has been a great dog teacher and I'm learning a lot from him. Since I'm still working on a lot, I need dog companion who has a gentle demeanor. One around my size would be even better!
We are working on my house training and I am learning how to walk on a leash, though it's very cold out lately, so we aren't practicing as much. When it was nicer, I loved being outside and rolling around. I only bark when I am in my kennel and think I am all alone. Because I am still working on trusting, I’d do best with adults only.
All I want is to feel safe and loved. I know I can become a perfect companion with the right home and leader. Will you teach me?
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.
