Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.  Hello there! My name is Dulce de Leche, and I'm a 4-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I weigh about 20 pounds, which means I'm just the right size for cuddling! When it comes to personality, I’m a real sweetheart. I love making new friends and I’m always seeking out attention. Whether it’s at home or away, you’ll often find me leaning against you or sitting in your lap, enjoying some petting and head rubs. I’m a big fan of affection and I’m not shy about letting you know! My favorite activities? Well, I adore getting petted and having my head rubbed. I can be quite the little nap enthusiast too. And sometimes, I like to have a bit of fun by chasing the cat around. It isn’t like I have prey drive, but am very interested, so if there is a cat in my forever home it needs to be dog savvy. As for treats, freeze-dried snacks are my absolute favorite! I'm not really into playing with toys, but that's okay because I have plenty of other ways to entertain myself. I’m still learning about potty training, and we are working on a schedule. A fenced yard would be perfect for me since I’m not very consistent with going potty on a leash just yet. Speaking of leashes, I can walk for about 20-40 feet, but then I might need a bit of coaxing to keep going. I know how to sit on command, and I’ve met one small dog so far and did quite well. I might enjoy having another doggy friend around, but I’m also content being the only dog. When it comes to barking, I’m pretty quiet overall, with only the occasional bark when I’m in my kennel. I’m a very sweet dog, and I’m learning quickly. With a little more time and patience, I know I’ll become fully housebroken and leash trained. If you’re looking for a loving companion who’s eager to please and full of affection, I might just be the perfect match for you! *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.
