My name is Squash!

Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting. 

Introducing Squash, a delightful 4-year-old Wheaten Terrier with a heart full of love and a personality to match! This charming girl may be a bit shy at first, but give her a little time, and you'll be rewarded with her infectious smile, full-body wiggles, and sweet requests for pets. Squash is your loyal shadow, following you everywhere and showering you with her warm affection.

Wheaten Terriers are known for their friendly and playful nature, and Squash is no exception! She adores playing with her furry friends, showcasing her playful spirit and gentle demeanor. While she loves her food, she’s still figuring out the concept of treats—watching her ponder the mystery of a treat in your hand is simply endearing!

Squash has a beautiful, soft coat that she enjoys having brushed, and she’s always ready to return the favor with a shower of kisses. As a devoted mama, she was incredibly nurturing to her puppies, showing her loving side in the most tender way.

Though she's still mastering the art of leash walking, Squash is making progress every day. For now, a fenced area is the perfect place for her to practice her skills while enjoying the great outdoors. While she may not pay much attention to the resident cats, she’s always on the lookout for an opportunity to snag their food—after all, who can resist a tasty treat?

Each day, Squash’s confidence blossoms, and her adorable nub wags with excitement as she gazes up at you, inspiring smiles all around. She’s currently working on her kennel and potty training, and while she’s usually quiet in her kennel, she does need frequent bathroom breaks to keep it clean.

If you’re looking for a sweet companion who will fill your life with joy, cuddles, and a bit of mischief, Squash is your girl! With her charming personality and loving nature, she’s sure to steal your heart in no time.

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.  

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:

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.
