You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Thank you for stopping by to see me! Please fill out an application to set up a private meeting. Meet Dobber: The Gigantic, Goofy, Nap-Loving, Life-Enjoying Fluff Machine! Dobber is a two-year-old, 100% certified Big Dumb Boy™, and we say that with all the love in the world. He is a Great Pyrenees, which means he has two modes: majestic guardian of the realm and giant, overgrown teddy bear who forgets how large he actually is. There is no in-between. Dobber approaches life with the enthusiasm of a golden retriever in a Pyr’s body. He’s just so happy to be here. Everything is exciting—playing, eating, lounging, existing. He loves to relax, but not in a normal, polite way. No, Dobber flops. He will dramatically throw himself onto the ground, sigh like he just finished a 12-hour work shift (even though he’s done absolutely nothing), and settle in for a well-deserved nap. If you need a dog who can truly commit to the art of doing nothing, this is your guy. But don’t be fooled! Dobber also loves to play—sometimes. When he’s feeling particularly athletic, he might prance around with his toys, wrestle with dog friends, or suddenly decide he’s the fastest creature alive and zoom across the yard (for about 10 seconds before flopping again). His hobbies also include staring at you lovingly, attempting to be a lap dog despite being the size of a small horse, and pretending he has no idea what the word “no” means when he’s in the mood for snacks. Now, Dobber does have epilepsy, but don’t worry—his seizures are completely controlled with medication. He takes his meds like a champ (especially if you hide them in cheese, because let’s be real, that’s the only proper way to take medicine). He doesn’t let it slow him down, and honestly, he probably doesn’t even remember that he has it. He’s too busy living his best life. Dobber is looking for a home that appreciates big dogs with even bigger personalities. He’d love a family that enjoys both playtime and serious snuggle sessions. Whether you need a giant goofball, a professional nap partner, or just a massive cloud of love and fur in your life, Dobber is ready to move in and take over your couch. 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*** Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.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.
