Join us at our Annual Fundraiser hosted by Fat Pants Brewing (8335 Crystal View Rd, Eden Prairie, MN 55344) on Sunday, September 27th from 12:00 pm - 02:00 pm. Please email inquiriesunderdogrescuemn for questions regarding the dogs. Meet Pretzel! Pretzel is a sweet, lovable boy with a zest for life and a heart full of love! Once he bonds with his humans, he is incredibly loyal and eager to please. He loves being with his people and is always ready to join in on the next adventure. Pretzel is an active, playful guy who loves to stay busy. If there’s another dog in the home, a canine companion with a moderate energy level and a similar play style would likely be the best match. His enthusiastic play style can be a little much for smaller or calmer dogs, but he is currently learning to read other dogs’ cues, and he’s making progress! This smart boy catches on quickly when given structure and already knows some basic commands, including sit, come, stay, outside, and kennel. He’s eager to learn and will thrive with a family who enjoys keeping his mind and body active. Pretzel can be a little nervous when meeting new people at first, but once he warms up, he absolutely loves attention from everyone! He can also be a bit vocal when he hears or sees something unfamiliar—he just likes to let you know when something has caught his attention. What makes Pretzel special: ❤️ Sweet, loyal, and eager to please Loves his humans and bonds deeply Enthusiastic, playful, and active Smart and quick to learn with structure Always ready for an adventure Knows several basic commands Enjoys canine companionship with the right playmate May be shy at first with new people but loves attention once comfortable Can be vocal when something unfamiliar catches his eye or ear Pretzel is looking for an active family and a forever buddy who will appreciate his playful spirit, continue helping him learn, and include him in life's adventures. He has so much love and personality to give—and he’s ready to find his people! Pretzel is ready for his next adventure. Could it be with you? ❤️ 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.
