Hello, my name is Wilmer, and I am a handsome young adult male Chihuahua who loves everyone I meet though I cower a bit when someone tries to pick me up. Foster mom says that I act “very much like a puppy” because I love to run and play…my favorite things include squeaky toys, bully sticks and any kind of treat!!




I have not met any kids, so I don’t know if I like them, but I am always respectful of cats and I get along with other dogs.  I am doing great with leash training and am a potty-star on a routine! I sleep well in my crate at night and typically only bark when something alarms me.



I am a very loving boy who loves spending time outside, being active, and learning new things. Are you ready to welcome a wonderful companion into your life?? I can’t wait to start my new life and hopefully you will be my new furever family! Believe me when I say, I am totally worth it!! Love, Wilmer


Some of our dogs are obtained from commercial breeders where they spent their lives getting comfort from their canine friends. Others have come from various situations where they are lacking confidence in humans. 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.
