Looking for a dog with the confidence of a lion, the fluff of a cloud, and the charm of a seasoned heart-stealer? Meet PomPoms, a pint-sized Pomeranian with a personality that is anything but small.
PomPoms is the total Pomeranian package: he’s bold, opinionated, and totally devoted once he’s decided you’re his person. He loves to go on adventures — whether that means hopping in the car for a joyride or trotting around the neighborhood like he owns it (spoiler alert: he thinks he does). He thrives on attention, makes friends easily with both humans and other dogs, and has a surprising amount of pep packed into his tiny frame. He’s also a top-tier napper and can often be found sunbathing like a celebrity on vacation.
But don’t let that cute little face fool you — PomPoms knows what he wants and he’s not afraid to express himself. He has very clear opinions about a few things in life:
The Vet — hard no. If PomPoms has to go, he’ll need his foster mom there to hold his paw (and maybe whisper sweet nothings or offer cheese). He gets anxious and needs reassurance from someone he trusts.
Clothes — double no. He is perfect in his natural state, thank you very much.
Being Heard — absolutely. If something doesn’t meet PomPoms’ high standards, he’ll let you know with a side-eye or a solid bark of disapproval.
PomPoms is not just a dog — he’s a presence. He’s the type of pup who forms a deep bond with his person, makes you laugh daily with his dramatic antics, and somehow turns the most mundane part of your day into something warm, funny, and sweet. He’d do well in a home that understands little dogs with big personalities — a family who’ll let him be the fabulous little weirdo he is, while also helping him feel safe when the world feels scary (like, say… during vet visits).
He’s housetrained, loves companionship, and does best with people who respect his boundaries while still giving him structure and snuggles.
In return, PomPoms promises to be your tiny shadow, your co-pilot on errands, your sunbathing buddy, and the ruler of your heart (and probably your couch).
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.
