RORY - GOLDEN RETRIEVER / POODLE (MINIATURE) / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Golden Retriever / Poodle (Miniature) / Mixed (medium coat). Thank you for stopping by to see me! Please fill out an application to set up a private meeting. Hi, my name is Rory! I figure if you’ve read my breed and age, you’re still here because you realize that think I’m adorable. Perhaps you thought, ‘OH, a poodle mix!” Well, I’m here to tell you that not only am I that, but I’m a mini one. Because who really needs all that big dog type of pet. Sure, they’re just as cute but I won’t take up as much space and all that “extra” dog stuff is over rated. I’ve been having so much fun learning all the dog things now that I’m in a foster home. I’ve been practicing to be the best one for my forever pad. I’m an adult too, so there isn’t all that nonsense that comes with puppies. I like to spend my time with YOU and play with my little Lamb Chop toys. When you want to give me something special, I do love some bones to chew on, treat puzzles and soft treats. You’ll soon discover that I’m your new best friend. I’ll follow you to the moon and back. While other dogs are nice, I prefer you. Every minute. Every day. So much so that if you put me in the kennel when you’re home, I’ll tell you in my outside voice how disgruntled I am about it. But if you’re not home, then I’ll be ok. I’m still working on potty training but am pretty good about it if you keep me on a good schedule. I find it hard to go when we are out walking, so I do wish to have a fenced yard. I’m not a fan of the cold weather so if that’s the case, you might need encouragement. I am an escape artist if I see an opening in the fence so be sure to check it well and often. I even know what “sit, come, down, kennel, go potty and outside” mean. I bet you the puppies don’t know that. And I love a good car ride. But not as well as I love snuggling and having your undivided attention. Ready for some adventures? So am I!! I can’t wait to meet you! *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 adopters 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. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there*** If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <inquiriesunderdogrescuemn> 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. YOU CAN HELP: Not able to foster or adopt right now? Please consider sponsoring an Underdog.
