Meet Zoe! Your Future Little Lovebug! Looking for a sweet little companion who will fill your life with love, kisses, and adorable zoomies? Meet Zoe! This precious Shih Tzu girl is ready to find her special person and a loving home to call her own. ❤️
A Relaxed Girl With a Playful Side
Zoe is a calm, relaxed girl indoors, but let her out into a fenced yard and watch her go! She absolutely loves running through the grass and showing off her happy little zoomies. Walks are another favorite, and she is wonderful on leash. She even knows how to use a doggie door!
Once You're Her Person, You're Her Person!
Zoe can be shy at first, especially around men, visitors, and unfamiliar surroundings. She needs a little time, patience, and a gentle approach to feel comfortable. But once she trusts you, her loving personality shines! She'll happily jump into your lap, shower you with kisses, and become your devoted little shadow.
The Little Things Make Her Happy
Zoe loves small, soft toys she can shake and chew, yummy soft treats, and having her own cozy bed with a basket of toys nearby. She's a good eater and can share her space with other dogs when they respect her boundaries. She gets along with dogs, but her experience with cats is unknown.
A Good Girl With Great Habits
Zoe sleeps quietly through the night when comfortably contained and has excellent potty habits! She knows how to use a doggie door to access a fenced yard and routinely goes outside after meals without accidents indoors. She's a wonderful walking companion and enjoys being out and about with her person.
Zoe's Dream Home
Zoe would thrive in a patient, loving home where she can settle in at her own pace. A securely fenced yard for her joyful zoomies, daily walks, cozy resting spots, and plenty of affection would make her one happy girl!
She would do best with people who understand that trust takes time, especially around men and unfamiliar visitors. Her experience with children is unknown, so a thoughtful, appropriate introduction would be important.
Could Zoe Be Your Special Someone?
Zoe is a very sweet little girl with so much love to give. Give her a little patience, a safe place to land, and a chance to know you, and you may just find yourself with the most devoted little cuddlebug by your side.
She’s ready for walks, playtime, cozy naps, and a lifetime of kisses with the person lucky enough to call her family.
Could you be the one Zoe has been waiting for?
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.

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.
