Fred - Labradoodle Male Dog For Adoption in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, USA

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Poodle (Standard) / Mixed (medium coat).

Thank you for stopping by to see me! Please fill out an application to set up a private meeting. Meet Fred! Hi, my name is Fred, and I’m a fun, affectionate guy who is loving this new life! I’m great on leash and very excited to meet new people and dogs. I absolutely LOVE to play—especially fetch! Balls, please! I also enjoy a good game of tug-of-war and could play with toys all day. I’m wonderful with kids and love being part of the family. Their excitement can sometimes get me excited too, so I’m still learning how to keep my manners when things get busy. I’m a pretty good listener and already know “sit,” and I’m learning more every day. I’m also very good about dropping things I shouldn’t have once I’m reminded. Since I’m still figuring out this whole house-living thing, I need some supervision. I’m curious and may decide that shoes, things on the table, or items on the counter look like fun toys. With consistency and guidance, I’m learning what’s mine and what’s not. I’m very close to being potty trained as long as I’m kept on a regular schedule. During the day, when the house is quiet, I can settle down nicely and relax. My crate manners are still a work in progress. I bark when I’m first crated and can take some time to settle, so I’ll need a family who is patient and willing to help me learn that my crate is a safe, comfortable place. I’m affectionate, playful, eager to learn, and just an all-around fun guy! I’m looking for a family who will continue helping me learn good manners while giving me plenty of love, playtime, and—of course—lots of opportunities to fetch! Fred is such a fun guy, and he can’t wait to find his forever family! ❤️ 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.
