You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Thank you for stopping by to see me! Please check below to see what upcoming adoption events I will be attending or apply here for a private meeting. If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <underdogrescue@petml.com> ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there*** Due to concern around COVID-19, Underdog Rescue is suspending all public adoption events and community events. We are still accepting applications for available dogs but are delaying in-person meet and greets due to the ‘stay at home’ policy. Thank you for your support. DOB: 07/12/2010 Requires another dog in home: Yes Okay with dogs of all sizes: Yes, small dogs only so far Okay with cats: Yes Okay with children under 12 years old: Unknown Requires a fenced yard: Yes Note: dogs must always be leashed whenever outside of a contained area Hi! My name is Miss Maisy...you can call me Maisy. I'm new to home life and figuring out my new life. So far, I'm enjoying it and I'm learning a lot! I have had a lot of successes since coming into my foster home. I have had very few potty accidents in the house…YAY ME!!! I get to go outside every hour or two to do my business. I sleep through the entire night without having to go to the bathroom. I can't even remember the last time I had an accident in the house. I really enjoy frolicking around in a fenced yard…it would be so incredible if my furever home has a fenced yard and another doggie my size to play with…can you imagine the frolicking fun we’d have?? I'm being fed well and I like to eat a variety of food. I get an assortment of meat and vegetables mixed in with my dry kibble and I really like it when my foster dad soaks my kibble in bone broth for a minute or two…YUMMY!! I eat three times a day right now, but admit I don't always finish each meal…I guess I just like to eat at my own leisure. I love my kennel so much that I will eat, rest, and sometimes just hang out in there to get away from it all and be by myself to ponder life and that leash thing. Sometimes I will bark when I’m in there but it’s just a reminder to whoever is out there that I’m still here and in my kennel. When I'm not in my kennel I like to follow some of my four-legged foster siblings around the house as well as outside to partake in what they are sniffing and searching out. Hanging out with them makes me feel like I'm "one of the gang". My favorite thing to do with one of my foster siblings is to cuddle! She's a retired momma like me and she was adopted by my foster dad. I trust her the most. I tried to go for walks with my foster dad but that proved to be a challenge. I'm not used to having a leash on me yet, so I just stand there and wonder what to do. I see the other doggies with a leash and they don't seem to have a problem with it, so I guess it can't be all that bad. I keep trying and I know I'll figure it out soon…I’m pretty sure the time I spend in my kennel pondering the leash will help…we’ll see! Oh my gosh…I’m so excited to tell you…One of the best successes I've had so far is walking up the stairs! Seriously, can you believe it? I can walk up the stairs without being afraid at all! Now, I just have to learn how to walk down them! That may take some kennel pondering too, but I am really confident that with my foster dad’s help and patience, I am going to master going down the stairs too. I am enjoying some of the luxuries of home life! I get to sleep in a nice comfortable bed next to my foster dad. He's so warm and I can't seem to get close enough! I sometimes like to snuggle underneath the bed covers, but because I like to see what is going on, I mostly stay on top of them. I also get to enjoy good food! I am slowly starting to appreciate the luxury of resting on my foster dad’s lap. The best luxury of all though is that I get to roam around freely without being stuck in my kennel! Toys? What are toys? I haven't figured them out yet. I think those are the things my foster siblings are chewing on and throwing around all the time? If I’m right, I am currently perfectly content just watching them be silly with those toys. Hopefully soon I will find enjoyment with them though! I have not had any experience with those little humans, but I am always respectful of those meowy things…if for no other reason that I don’t want to be whacked in the face! As great as my life has been since moving in with my foster family, I can’t help but wish for a furever home with a family who will love me as unconditionally as I will love them. I am getting the feeling that you may be that family, so please hurry and come bring me to my new furever home. I can’t wait for you to get here!! Many of our dogs are rescued from commercial breeders where they spent their lives getting comfort from their canine friends. In turn, most require another companion dog in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog, and do not currently have a dog residing with you, please understand that your home might not be the right fit for many of our dogs. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there*** Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet. ADOPTION EVENTS: Adoption events are updated as the foster home RSVP's to attend. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. 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. You may wish to consider applying and setting 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: http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/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 http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/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. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves. If you have an interest and ability to be a foster home, please visit our website www.underdogrescuemn.com/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.
