Thank you for stopping by to see me! Please fill out an application to set up a private meeting. Julia is a charming little Chiweenie with a huge personality and an even bigger heart. Affectionate, loyal, and endlessly entertaining, she has a special talent for making people fall in love with her. Whether she’s curled up in your lap, following you from room to room, or making you laugh with one of her funny little antics, Julia brings joy to every day. Her favorite place in the world is right next to her people. She loves to cuddle on the couch, soak up attention, and at bedtime you’ll often find her happily burrowed under the covers. Julia forms strong bonds with those she loves and is happiest when she can be part of whatever her family is doing. Though she may be small, Julia is convinced she’s in charge! She has a spunky, confident personality and isn’t afraid to voice her opinions from time to time. Her foster family describes her as full of character, and she always seems to have something to say. It’s one of the many things that makes her so lovable. Julia adores children she knows and loves being part of family life. When meeting new people, especially men or unfamiliar children, she can be a little cautious at first and prefers to take a moment to assess the situation. Once she realizes she’s safe, her sweet and affectionate personality shines through. Her foster family’s boyfriend has already won her over, proving that a few treats, some patience, and a little kindness go a long way with this girl. She loves having a canine companion and especially enjoys playing with dogs her own size. One of her favorite activities is romping around with a furry friend before settling down for a cuddle session. Because she prefers dogs similar in size and play style, a smaller canine sibling would be ideal. That said, she also loves her toys and can happily entertain herself with her current obsession: mini wiener dog toys! When playtime is over, she’s content to relax with a favorite bone or long-lasting chew. Julia is currently working hard on her potty training and continues to make progress with a consistent routine. She can be sensitive to loud noises, so a home that can provide reassurance during thunderstorms, fireworks, or other startling sounds would help her feel secure. Julia is looking for a family who will appreciate her affectionate nature, laugh at her quirky personality, and welcome her as a beloved member of the family. In return, she’ll provide endless snuggles, loyal companionship, and plenty of smiles. Julia would be a wonderful fit, if you’re searching for a little dog with a big heart and an even bigger personality! 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*** If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com> 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. YOU CAN HELP: Not able to foster or adopt right now? Please consider sponsoring an Underdog.
