You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.  Do you want to meet me? I will be at Chuck and Don's in West Bloomington, 5145 W. 98th Street, Bloomington, MN 55437 for an Adoption Event on Saturday, October 10th from 12:00 - 2:00 pm. Please email inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com for questions regarding the dogs.   Meet Sweet Brigette! Brigette is a sweet, shy girl who is looking for her forever home. She may need a little time, patience, and reassurance to feel comfortable, but once she knows she is safe, her gentle personality starts to shine. Brigette is curious and eager to please. She takes her cues from the resident dogs around her, so she will need a confident companion dog in her new home to help her feel secure and continue building her confidence. She is beginning to discover the joys of toys—and she’s also becoming curious about whatever happens to be sitting on the coffee table! She doesn’t quite come all the way to you for affection yet, but when she is cozy in her bed, she absolutely loves ear scratches and belly rubs. Freeze-dried treats are another fast way to win her heart! Brigette can be startled by overwhelming commotion and will need a calm, predictable environment where she can decompress at her own pace. She currently uses potty pads only, so her adopter should be prepared to continue working with her on house training. She also barks in her crate and can take some time to settle down. Her bark is VERY loud and shrill, so a home without shared walls is a must. Her nervousness is very understandable, but she responds beautifully to gentle reassurance. At the vet, Brigette was initially trembling in her foster's arms. After just a minute of being held close and spoken to softly, she completely relaxed. ❤️ Brigette is such a sweet little soul. She doesn't need someone to rush her—she needs someone who will give her patience, reassurance, a canine buddy, and the time to learn that she is finally home. If you have a calm home, a friendly resident dog, and lots of love and patience to give, Brigette may be the girl you've been waiting for. 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.
