a young adult Corgi. I weigh about 15 pounds. Although I don’t know why having to tell people how much you weigh is a thing. I mean I am a forward thinking lady and all but that seems odd. But I’m told that hoomans like to know that so they know how big us doggos are, so I hope that answers your questions about that!
Do you want to know some more fun things about me? I am extremely friendly and eager to be with hoomans. I do go in the kennel really well, and I am always happy to see my people. I am sometimes timid just because things are new and I need some more socialization. But I know I’ll keep learning. I’m making up for lost time by learning how cool and sweet and fun hoomans can be! I love affection and will show you my sweet personality and affectionate ways. In fact, I really love to cuddle so I hope you also love to cuddle. But, when cuddling isn’t possible, I do like to find a favorite spot for a nap.
I have two other Corgi foster siblings and I play well with them. In fact, we like to do backyard zoomies and that is really fun. My foster mom says that the more experience I get with other doggos the more she thinks I will really come out of my shell in sharing my pawsome personality! I’m not sure if I’d need to have another doggo, but I do enjoy having siblings. I haven’t ever met those cat things or those children things. I’d have to meet them and see how it goes.
I do like to chew on things especially if they have squeakers in them. Do you have any of those? If not, I bet I can get my foster mom to tell you where she gets them.
I sometimes get afraid of overwhelming commotion, but maybe that will get better in time. There is a lot to learn and experience in this new hooman rescue world!
I’m not fully potty trained yet but am doing really good when I can be on a schedule. I’m not yet in the crate very much so not sure how I’d do in that.
I’m learning about the leash, but not really good with it. It’d be important for me to have a fenced in yard so I don’t go running. Since things are new and scary, I am a bit of a flight risk, or so I’m told. And I really like this whole home, hooman thing so I definitely don’t want to get scared and run away from that! I know that with more practice I’ll get the whole leash thing but until I do, I’ll need a fenced in yard. I could stay outside and explore for a long long time! There are just so many fun smells and stuff out there!
I do know what “come” means, isn’t that cool? I think that’s pretty great! I’ve never really learned things before so this is a big deal to me! I also do really well with praise and lots of love and patience.
I do tend to do barkage but usually only when I’m scared or alarmed.
But, you know what? I sleep well all the way through the whole night!!! Isn’t that great? ‘m also a very respectful snuggler either by your side or at your feet. If you’re looking for a lap dog, I am just about the perfect size for that. I also really like toys and play with them well. I don’t totally destroy them like some doggos do. I’m also a good eater too.
My foster mom says I’m a very good girl that will make a wonderful family pet who will melt your heart. Is your heart melting? If so, I’d love to meet you! Hopefully you can somehow tell my foster mom! I hope to meet you soon!
*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.
