Adoption Event Today!

We hope you can come by to our Adoption Event today from 12:30 - 2:30pm at Urbanimal in Uptown (2106 Lyndale Ave South - 612-879-0709)
There will be some wonderful dogs there that would just LOVE to meet you! We are located at the back of the store on the left. Hope to see you there!

Meet Mister!

Mister has had a really hard life before he came to Underdog Rescue. He was severely abused. He and his sister, Tess, were found severely beaten, tied up together, and stuffed into a duffel bag. They were left that way in an alleyway in Minneapolis. An Animal Control Officer found the duffel bag and rescued them.
X-rays showed that this was not the first time horrible things had been done to Mister. His legs had been broken in the past and he will always walk a little differently as a result. Amazingly, all of his abuse did not destroy his sweet temperament. He loves people & is very good with other dogs. Mister is about 7 months old now & will likely weigh about 40 pounds as a adult. For more information, please send us an e-mail to underdogrescue@petml.com

Adult Cats Need Homes

Why Adult Cats Need Homes More Than Kittens

A few statistics affecting adult cat placement are:

• 71% of cats that enter animal shelters are euthanized

• "Kitten season" occurs from early spring to late fall, where an average female cat can produce three litters of kittens in this short time. An average liter is 4-6. One mother cat can produce 18 kittens in one kitten season. A female cat can begin having litters as early as 6 months old.

• Animal Control facilities usually euthanize the mother cat as soon as the kittens can be weaned to prevent more litters. Female cats in Animal Control facilities are at the highest risk of immediate euthanasia.

• Kittens are cute and cuddly and easier to place than their larger counterparts-Cats.

Underdog Rescue currently has several adult cats who are in need of homes. Most of our adult female cats were rescued from Animal Control while still pregnant in order to protect them and their unborn from euthanasia. Their kittens have long been placed in new homes, yet they remain waiting. Our cats are all altered, medically and behaviorally tested (including feline leukemia), updated on shots, and totally willing to warm laps and hearts. Please consider them for your family.

McNiff

Meet McNiff! McNiff is a wonderful, quiet guy. He loves everyone and is great with cats. Poor McNiff has been overlooked for a long time because he has a missing leg. But you wouldn't know it! He gets along so well!
We asked Mr. McNiff for a few words for our blog.
He says, "You should come say hi to me! Underdog rescued me as a puppy. I had a really badly hurt leg and they had to amputate it. But I gets along great! And I likes kitties! I'm working super hard on my training! I's doing great! I can't waits to meet you!"
