MATCHA - YORKSHIRE TERRIER YORKIE / POODLE (UNKNOWN TYPE) / MIXED (LONG COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie / Poodle (unknown type) / Mixed (long coat). Thank you for stopping by to see me! Please fill out an application to set up a private meeting. Matcha is a sprinkle of sweetness who has decided that her full-time job on earth is to stick to her person like a warm, fuzzy piece of Velcro. If you take one step, she takes one step. If you blink, she blinks. If you leave the room, she begins drafting a formal complaint about abandonment. Matcha’s love language is simply called Being Near You At All Times. At home, she’s a certified cuddle expert who wiggles her way into laps, snuggles with the resident dogs, and has recently discovered that doggie play might actually be fun. Out in the world she trots politely on a leash and floats along like a tiny, glamorous feather duster. Once she gets to know you, she will definitely charm you, but she is a little cautious when first meeting new people. It just takes her a bit of time to learn she can trust people. She’s food-motivated, easy to train, perfect for grooming and baths, and proudly potty trained—she’ll even march to the door to let you know it’s time. But be warned: if Matcha cannot physically see her person, she believes the universe is collapsing. She will cry, bark, scratch, and exercise extreme persistence to find you. She simply loves too hard to be left alone. Because of this, she absolutely needs a home with no shared walls, and humans who can be home most or all of the time. While she definitely gets her point across when she is left alone, or if crated during the day, she is quiet otherwise; she's quiet as a mouse in her covered crate next to your bed at night, and when waiting patiently outside the bathroom while you shower, for example. Matcha doesn’t ask for much—just your constant presence, a cozy lap, soft treats, and a fenced yard where she can take herself seriously while smelling all the smells. In return, she gives the most devoted, gentle, loyal love you’ll ever experience. Once Matcha chooses you, it’s precious, heartwarming, and forever. 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. ***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.
