Teddy♂

About

Thank you for stopping by to see me! Please fill out an application to set up a private meeting. Teddy is proof that big personalities can come in very small packages! This charming Chihuahua is always happy to see his people and approaches life with a cheerful, go-with-the-flow attitude. Whether he’s playing with toys, soaking up attention, tagging along on car rides, or accompanying you to a brewery patio, Teddy is simply happy to be part of the adventure. Teddy loves to play, run around, and explore, but with his short little legs, he doesn’t need long walks to be content. In fact, one of his favorite ways to travel is riding in his special shoulder bag, where he can take in the sights while staying close to his favorite humans. He is leash trained and does well on walks when wearing his preferred harness. Teddy also does well in the car and enjoys joining his family on outings. He is affectionate, playful, goofy, and loves being a lap dog when the day is done. Teddy prefers dogs closer to his own size and would be perfectly happy as an only dog. He does not require a canine companion as long as his people are home often and can give him the love and attention he craves. Teddy is not crate trained and can be vocal when confined. He tends to bark, takes time to settle, and may have accidents in a crate. Because of this, he would do best with a family that is home frequently and can accommodate his preference for being close to his people. If you’re looking for a fun-loving little sidekick who will happily accompany you wherever life takes you, Teddy may be the perfect match! 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.
