I will be at Chuck & Don's Forest Lake 1960 W Broadway Ave Building 2, Forest Lake, MN 55025 on Saturday, June 28th 12:00-2:00 pm . I will be on the outdoor patio ready to meet you. Please email inquiriesunderdogrescuemn for questions regarding the dogs.
Pearla is a sweet and spunky 3-year-old Chiweenie weighing in at about 18 pounds. She’s adjusting beautifully in her foster home and is ready to find a forever family who will appreciate her playful nature and adventurous spirit.
Pearla absolutely loves her toys and is happiest when she has something appropriate to chew on. She’s a curious girl who gets excited about walks, greeting her people when they come home, and exploring new places. She thrives with activity and stimulation, so she would do best in a home that can give her regular opportunities to play, explore, and stay engaged.
She’s fully potty trained and does her business outside like a pro. Pearla is also good with children under 12 and shows respectful behavior around cats. She enjoys the company of other dogs and will need to be placed in a home with a canine companion to help her feel secure and supported.
Pearla can be a little overwhelmed by loud or chaotic environments and tends to bark at strangers outside the home, but she’s making great progress as she settles in. While she’s still a work in progress on the leash, she’s improving every day and enjoys her outdoor time, especially in a fenced yard where she can move freely.
This charming little dog has a lot of love to give and will thrive in a home where she’s included in daily life and given the outlets she needs to stay active and happy. She is a loyal, joyful companion who’s ready to meet her perfect match.
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.
