VINCE NEIL - POODLE (TOY) (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Poodle (Toy) (short coat). Thank you for stopping by to see me! Please fill out an application to set up a private meeting. Like his rock star namesake, Vince Neil has some impressive hair and a personality that’s just waiting for the right audience to appreciate it. While he may not be headlining concerts anytime soon, he does put on a daily show featuring prancing, zoomies, stick collecting, and dramatic hair flips that are guaranteed to make you smile. Vince Neil is a young poodle mix who approaches life thoughtfully. He prefers to take his time getting to know new people and situations, and his future family will need to be patient as he builds trust and confidence. He likes to make the first move and feels most comfortable when allowed to approach people on his own terms. Once he decides you’re part of his inner circle, though, you’ll be rewarded with a sweet, affectionate companion who loves curling up on the bed for pets and snuggles. Around the house, Vince is generally a quiet boy who enjoys finding a cozy spot to watch the world go by. He occasionally startles at unexpected noises and would be happiest in a calm, low-commotion home where he can continue to grow at his own pace. Loud environments aren’t really his style. As his confidence has grown, so has his playful side. At least once a day, Vince tears around the yard in joyful zoomie laps, proudly showing off his goofy personality. He loves sniffing around outdoors, carrying sticks, and collecting toys—sometimes more than one at a time! Plush toys, marrow bones, chew toys, and Himalayan yak cheese chews are all favorites. He’s also becoming quite adventurous when it comes to trying new foods. Vince is learning what it means to be a beloved house pet and recently discovered one of life’s greatest pleasures: sitting directly on top of his people, regardless of what they might be trying to accomplish at the moment. He enjoys being near his humans and, with time and patience, may very well become the Velcro dog of someone’s dreams. He is tolerant of brushing, handling, and being held, and continues to make steady progress every day. While he doesn’t seem to require another dog in the home, he does gain confidence from watching other dogs interact with people and may enjoy having a calm canine companion. Vince Neil is looking for a family that understands that the best relationships are worth waiting for. Give him patience, kindness, and a little time to blossom, and you’ll discover a sweet, entertaining companion whose silly antics and loving heart are absolutely worth the wait. 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.
