Adoptions

Fostering

Thank you for considering one of our adoptable pets.  Rescuing a homeless pet can be the best experience of your life.  Before you fill out an application please review the following rules:

• We only adopt within 60 miles of Minneapolis, Minnesota
• We have a strict NO DECLAW policy for all of our cats and kittens
• The adoption process concludes with a contract for adoption which includes a strict return to Underdog policy if you can no longer keep the pet.  Adoption fees are not refundable, even if the placement is not successful.

To ensure successful adoptions we suggest that you fully research the bred of cat or dog you are interested in.  Not all breeds are equal in physical energy, health, and temperament, thus knowing what kind of pet will fit with your lifestyle is tantamount for happy and successful placements. 

Adopting a pet is not only an emotional commitment, but a financial commitment as well.  Keep in mind that all pets need annual medical services which will vary depending on the veterinarian.  You should expect to spend at least $200 - $400 per year beyond food. 

Upon receiving your application we will contact you for a home visit and family meeting.

Thank you for considering becoming a foster home for a pet waiting for their new home.  Fostering homeless companion animals is a rewarding and life-altering experience.  Before you fill out an application please consider the following:

• We work hard to match foster homes with appropriate pets
• Foster pets will remain in your home until an appropriate home is found which can take as little as a week or a long as several months
• Each foster home will have an opportunity to review adoption applications for their foster pet

As a foster home you will become an intricate part of the rehabilitation process for our companion animals.  Part of a foster home's responsibility is to work on training, socialization, and trust-building with animals who may have not had a great start in life. 

Underdog Rescue believes in crate training its dogs, therefore, you will be provided with a crate if needed.  We also provide food and medical for all foster animals. 

Upon receiving your application we will contact you for a home visit.
