Press Release:

Recently, Underdog Rescue stepped up to save several dogs who had found themselves in a very bad way. In each case, we offered their one and only chance at continued life. These Underdogs included:

Birdy, a tiny Chihuahua mix who had been struck by a car and was left with two broken legs and a crushed pelvis. Underdog Rescue exhausted its resources having Birdy's injuries surgically corrected by an Orthopedic Specialist. She is still recovering and will be looking to
be adopted in the near future. Her Vet Bills so far have totaled over $2,000.

Mimi, a puppy mill rescue who is one luck lady! Mimi is a little Maltese mix who would have been disposed of at the awful puppy mill where she had been born. Mimi had a serious heart murmur that could only be fixed through surgical intervention. She had heart surgery at
the U of MN and is now recovering enough to be spayed soon. Her Vet expenses so far have exceeded $4,000.

Governor, a sweet Pit Bull mix who has had a very hard life! This poor guy had been horribly abused & neglected but still retained his sweet spirit and remarkably, faith in people! When we rescued him he was so used to beatings that he flinched every time you went to pet him.. We soon found out this poor guy had a bad case of heart-worm but we were not about to turn our backs on him after all he had been through in his life. We went on to have x-rays taken of his heart and heart-worm treatment began. The costs involved top $500-$700 and he will need to remain in foster care until December while he recovers. He will be ready for adoption after that time.

Mindy, a sweet little Rat Terrier with multiple injured legs. She will need multiple x-rays and may also need surgical repair.

Sophie, a schnauzer also with a broken leg and needs to either have her leg pinned or, sadly, possibly amputated. The costs involved will likely reach $400-$800

2 baby Pit Bull puppies who were found bound, stuffed in a duffel bag and left in an alley. From what Animal Control Officers could tell someone had been kicking them & throwing them against the side of a building. Both puppies suffer signs of trauma, abuse and both sustained injuries. The little girl, Izzie, has a badly broken hip which will need surgical repair. The costs involved will reach $700-$1200.

Please help us help them! All will need adoptive homes once they have recovered from their injuries!

Donations Needed! We would like to put a silent auction together as a part of this fundraiser. Please give an item if you can! We also need help with print work donations including signage and posters of adoptable animals.
