I will be at Indeed Brewing, 711 NE 15th Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55413 for an Adoption Event on Saturday, June 27th from 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm. Come and meet me! Please email inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com for questions regarding the dogs.   Look out—Bret Michaels is the kind of dog who steals hearts in record time. This adorable young Toy Poodle is sweet, snuggly, playful, and absolutely loves being loved. Once he trusts you, he’ll happily shower you with affection, reaching up with his long, sloth-like arms for hugs and offering plenty of morning kisses to help you start your day. Bret can be a little shy when meeting new people and is easily startled by sudden noises or movements. Because of this, he would do best in a home without young children. He thrives with patient people who will give him time to build confidence and settle into a routine. This little guy loves toys and can often be found collecting his favorites and piling them in his bed like treasured possessions. He also lives for zoomies in a securely fenced yard, where he can run, play, and let his goofy personality shine. Bret enjoys treats, is a great eater, and even appreciates a little fruit as a special snack. Bret requires another friendly dog in his home. He takes comfort in canine companionship and looks to other dogs for confidence and support. While we’re not sure whether gender or size matters, having a dog friend is important for his happiness and well-being. He is currently working on leash training and continues to build confidence out in the world. Bret is also not yet comfortable being crated and will bark when confined. Because he can be quite vocal when he hears unfamiliar sounds or activity, homes with shared walls such as apartments, condos, or townhomes are unlikely to be a good fit. A quieter home with a fenced yard would be ideal. Bret Michaels is a loving little shadow who wants nothing more than to be close to his people and canine friends. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate companion with a playful spirit and an endless supply of hugs, Bret may be the perfect addition to your family. 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.    ***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.If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at 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: 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, 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  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.
