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*** VRS 12/24/18 BjacobsDue 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. O DOB: 5/25/09 Requires another dog in home: Yes Okay with dogs of all sizes: Yes, prefers similar sized dogs Okay with cats: Yes Okay with children under 12 years old: Unsure Requires a fenced yard: Yes Note: dogs must always be leashed whenever outside of a contained area Meet Watson. He’s a 15 lb, Miniature schnauzer who loves getting attention and cuddling. Things are going well in Watson’s foster home. His personality is starting to come out. He gets goofy at times and play bows. When on the couch, he's quite the snuggle bug. He enjoys fish treats, walks to the couch, and is starting to play with his toy dragon. Watson is taking Apoquel to help with seasonal allergies and has a sensitive stomach, so he's eating Woody's cooked raw beef and brown rice and doing well with it. He hasn't been tested around little kids, he leaves the resident cat alone, and seems to play well with similar sized dogs. Since he's an older gentleman, he knows quite a few commands, sit, come, kennel/crate, wait, outside, go potty, stop, and out (like he needs to leave the kitchen). He's pretty much potty trained but sometimes goes in the belly band. He is fully crate trained though. He would do great in his forever home with another dog and a fenced in yard. Watson will tell you what he wants. He barks when he's hungry or if you go get the mail without him. He just wants to be with you. Watson is such a sweet old man, who just loves nothing more than cuddling. He currently sleeps with 3 other dogs and his foster mama wakes up to his head resting on her. What a sweetheart! Watson just wants someone to love him and take care of him. He will make his future family so happy. 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.
