BARBIE - CATTLE DOG (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Cattle Dog (short coat). Thank you for stopping by to see me! Please fill out an application to set up a private meeting. DOB: 10/08/2016 Requires another dog in home: No Okay with dogs of all sizes: Yes Okay with cats: Unknown Okay with children under 12 years old: Yes Weight: 32 lbs Requires a fenced yard: No, but needs daily exercise Note: dogs must always be leashed whenever outside of a contained area. Invisible/ underground fencing is not recommended for most rescue dogs. Hello, I’m Barbie, a stunning, friendly, and VERY fun adult female Cattle Dog who has not met any cats but I’m good with kids and other dogs. I have a LOT of energy and am always on-the-go, go, go! My favorite activity is fetching…in fact, ball is my life (hee, hee) so foster mom bought me an automatic ball thrower which is AWESOME…I’m gonna have that thing mastered in no time!! Anyway, I also enjoy chewing on bones & bully sticks, playing with my squeaky toys, shadowing my people, and going on leashed walks/runs/hikes around the neighborhood so I can say “Hello” to all my new two- and four-legged friends. What don’t I like you ask?? Well, I’m not crazy about the kennel/crate and will bark for a bit when I’m in there but above all else, I do NOT like car rides! If it were up to me, I’d avoid the car completely but foster mom…the wonderful lady that she is…is trying to help me overcome my aversion by taking me in the car more. How do I feel about that you ask…let me just say that when we’re in that death trap (LOL) I constantly bark to let her know in no uncertain terms that I am NOT thrilled or amused by her sneaky tactics! Hee, hee!! Oh well, I’m a smart girl who knows what “sit” means and I’ve almost conquered potty training, so I suppose it’s possible for me conquer the car too…we’ll see! In the end, I am the happiest girl in the world with an ever-present smile on my beautiful face…all I need now is YOU! I’m looking for a patient, unconditionally loving, and very active family that will NEVER give up on me. I promise not only will we have SO much fun together, but we will make the most amazing memories EVER and I will completely brighten up your world! Love, Barbie *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 th eir 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.
