ey is proof that sometimes the dogs who need a little extra patience are the ones who give you the biggest piece of their heart.
Daisey is a sensitive girl who can be uncertain when faced with new people, new situations, or things she doesn’t understand. She is VERY vocal about her feelings and may howl when she is scared or overwhelmed. The good news? She gives plenty of cues when she’s uncomfortable, so she’s actually very good at communicating with people. She simply needs someone who will listen to those cues, give her time, and help her build confidence at her own pace.
And she is already making HUGE progress! Daisey currently attends doggy daycare twice a week, and it has made a remarkable difference in how she handles new situations. She will need a family committed to continuing her socialization with both people and other dogs as it is an important part of helping her continue to blossom.
But once Daisey decides you are HER person? Get ready to be loved like you’ve never been loved before.
At home, in her safe place with her foster family, Daisey is the sweetest, most perfect little girl. She is incredibly loyal and attaches deeply to her people. She LOVES car rides, is extremely food motivated, and is one smart cookie. She’s a wonderful cuddler, and once she’s comfortable, she loves playing with toys and hanging out with other dogs. She walks nicely on leash with the people she trusts, too.
In her foster home, she often looks to the other dogs for cues on how to handle new situations. When they are calm and comfortable, Daisey seems to gain confidence from their lead and feels safer exploring the world around her. Because of this, Daisey would do best with another confident, patient canine companion in the home who can help show her the ropes and give her that extra sense of security.
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.
