BUZZ - CHIHUAHUA / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat). Thank you for stopping by to see me! Please fill out an application to set up a private meeting. Buzz is a 25-pound mystery mix with the soul of a cautious woodland creature and the heart of a loyal sidekick—once you’ve earned his sacred Trust Badge. He’s come a very long way, trading fear bites for kisses, side-sits, and the occasional “fine, I guess you may adore me…but don’t get wild with the snuggles.” Buzz is very clear that hugs are suspicious and unnecessary, thank you very much. His favorite part of every single day is his walk. He struts down the sidewalk like the unimpressed sheriff of a tiny town, keeping an eye out for anything suspicious, such as…people. Or bicycles. Or people on bicycles. He’ll sound the tiniest alarm bark, just to let you know he’s on duty, then carry on with his proud little trot. Buzz loves his stuffed toy, knows his commands, rides well in the car, and relaxes in his crate like it’s his personal studio apartment. He’s potty trained, cat-approved, and enjoys the company of dogs his own size—as long as everyone understands that Buzz is Buzz, and Buzz needs a little space before he blossoms. He’s not a kids’ dog, but he’s absolutely an adults-dog: the kind who bonds deeply once you take the time to show him you’re safe, steady, and patient. When that trust clicks into place, he becomes affectionate, funny, loyal, and surprisingly tender in his Buzz-ish, Buzz-approved ways. Buzz is looking for a calm, understanding home with someone who loves walks, appreciates quirky little personalities, and won’t expect him to be a stuffy teddy bear. If you’re willing to go at his pace, reassure him often, and celebrate the small victories, Buzz will be the devoted little companion you didn’t know you needed. *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. 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.
