Junior is an extremely sweet, friendly little Beagle who would love nothing more than to be your adventure buddy and then curl up beside you on the couch. He enjoys walks, car rides, meeting new dogs, and playing with his foster family's resident Beagle. He's also a pretty laid-back guy who doesn't require a lot of exercise and is just as happy relaxing at home. Like most Beagles, Junior loves following his nose wherever it leads him, so a securely fenced yard is important. He's surprisingly quiet for a Beagle, although he will occasionally let you hear his signature Beagle voice! He's learned to sit, lie down, and roll over, and he's continuing to make progress with potty training. Junior is kennel trained and sleeps comfortably in his kennel overnight and when his foster family is away, but he'd be more than happy to snuggle up with you instead. He's been wonderful with the children he's met, enjoys other dogs, and has no known experience with cats. He walks nicely on a leash, loves bully sticks and stuffed toys, and is very affectionate and loyal.
Junior does have a curious Beagle nose and a little adventurous streak! He's managed to escape from the yard several times and has even wiggled out of a harness when something interesting caught his attention. He isn't looking to run away and tends to stay nearby, comes when called, and simply wants to explore, but his new family will need to be extra careful with secure fencing, properly fitted walking equipment, and supervision outdoors. He's also still working on potty training and may occasionally get into the garbage, so keeping trash cans secured is recommended. Like many Beagles, he can be a little stubborn, vocal, and very food-motivated, but overall he's an easygoing, loving little guy. If you're looking for a sweet companion who enjoys both adventures and quiet cuddle time, Junior might be your perfect match!
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.
