Invisible/ underground fencing is not recommended for most rescue dogs. Hello, my name is Gypsy. I am a very majestic, high-energy, and loving young adult female Doberman Pinscher who loves nothing more than spending time with my people. I can be a bit anxious in new environments and situations, but I do well with a solid routine. I’m super smart too! I know commands like “sit”, “down”, “outside”, “come”, “go potty”, and “kennel/crate” and I’m even potty, crate and leash trained although I will admit that I pull on the leash and my strength can be easily overwhelming especially to younger/smaller people. My favorite activities include snuggling, lounging on the couch, chewing on marrow bones, parading around the house with my favorite stuffed animal, and snacking on treats like blueberries, carrots, and tomatoes. In fact, I will even help myself to the tomatoes in the garden so hopefully my new home will have a few extra tomato plants just for me! Hee, hee!! I don’t think I need a doggie companion in my new home but if there is one, it should be noted that I prefer smaller dogs which some may say seems a bit ironic since I have a high-prey drive…go figure! Truth is, I dislike squirrels and other small critters in my space, so cats are definitely not a good fit for me. Foster mom says that I “can be a bit neurotic” when it comes to small vermin in my space, and I cannot disagree with her. After all, I am a natural guardian, always aware of my surroundings and vigilant about surveilling my property to maintain its integrity. Currently, I have free reign of the several acres on which I live, and I have never wandered off. If I didn’t have the property to run, I don’t know if I would need a fenced yard…part of me feels that a fenced yard I could call my own space would be great. I should also mention that I enjoy barking at strangers outside and I have quite a big, alarming bark so my new home should not have any shared walls! Despite my strength and utter dislike for squirrels (hee, hee), I am a large, beautiful girl with an even bigger and more beautiful personality! I am an incredibly sweet lady who bonds very strongly to my people and have never shown any aggression to my family. Foster mom feels very privileged to be part of my story and I know she’s going to miss me terribly, but she knows that my life-long dream is to find a furever family I can call my own. A special family who will not only shower me with unconditional love but who will NEVER give up on me! Please let me share my life with YOU, I promise I will love you with every ounce of my being and together, we will make memories that will last a lifetime! Love, Gypsy 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.
