Hello pleased to meet you. I’m Savannah. I’m  

6.5 years old and 8 pounds of pure happiness

!

I am very quiet (never bark) but also very present in my surroundings. I spin with delight when I’m happy, which is pretty much all the time. Want to know what brings me so much joy? Being with humans, eating food and when you talk to me.  I adore snuggling and sleeping in the bed. I admit that I was very shy at first and would flatten myself to the floor but with a gentle approach I have gotten past those fears in a very short time.





Treats are so new for me that I just started taking them easily. I love to sit on a lap or snuggle in a soft dog bed. I discovered the toy box and will dig in there, find something and play by myself. I often drag my favorite rope bone around everywhere I go.





I haven’t been around young children but warmed up to 7 & 11 yr old girls quickly. I can be afraid/unsure of strangers, but with an appropriate introduction, I’ll do just fine. I am good with all sizes of dogs. So far I have been around a Boston Terrier, another Chihuahua and an exuberant Springer Spaniel, but I won’t need another dog in my furever home. I can be your one and only sweetie!





I’m still working on potty training, but it’s been tough with this cold weather.  I’m really good about using  potty pads though. When nicer weather arrives, I will do my business outside. I am learning the word ‘kennel’ and am crate trained already. I do well sleeping in my kennel at night too. It has been too cold for outdoor leash training so  I will need more practice but won’t need a fence in my furever home.  I’m a super smart girl so all this will come to me in no time.





I’m just a tender hearted gal who loves to be held and talked to.

Who out there is ready for all this sweet lovin’?



 


 




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.

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.
