In the shelter’s words

Hi, my name is Wooly! I’m a super sweet boy who is already settling into the big yard house life, and I’m having a blast! I have BIG, BIG puppy energy, and I’m going to have that energy for quite a while, so my future family will need to have LOTS of patience with me. I’m playful, curious, silly, and always ready to see what fun thing is happening next. I’m the kind of puppy who will keep you laughing, but I’m also going to keep you on your toes! I’m still working on my potty training, and this is an area where I will need someone who is willing to be patient and consistent with me. I do pretty well with pooping outside, but when I get distracted playing, I sometimes forget my manners and like to mark inside. I’m still learning what is expected of me, and I’ll need a family who understands that potty training takes time and consistency. I would do especially well with humans who are home often and can help me stay on a routine, take me outside frequently, and keep working with me until I really understand the rules. Obedience training will definitely be a must for me. I’m a young, energetic boy who is still learning how to appropriately interact with people, and I have been working on my mouthy puppy play. We’ve slowly started breaking that habit, but I still have a long way to go. I’m very food motivated, though, and I absolutely LOVE interacting with my humans, so I have two things going for me that should make training a lot of fun! With patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and someone willing to put in the time, I have so much potential to become an amazing companion. I do okay in a kennel. I may cry for a little bit when I first go in, but after some time I settle down. I do need someone who understands that I’m still a puppy and shouldn’t be expected to stay kenneled for long periods of time. If I’m left too long, I may have an accident. I’m still learning, and I’ll need a family who is willing to work with me instead of expecting me to be perfect right away. When it comes to fun, I am ALL IN! I love toys, I love treats, and I REALLY love to fetch. Give me a toy and some space to run, and I am one happy boy! I absolutely enjoy having the freedom to zoom around and play in a fenced yard, and honestly, I enjoy it way too much to not have that as an everyday option. A secure fenced yard would be an important part of my ideal home because I have so much puppy energy that I need a safe place where I can run, play, explore, and burn some of it off. Because I’m still working on potty training, I’m very active, and I can be a little noisy and energetic, I would do best in a home without shared walls. I need a family who understands that bringing me home means committing to the puppy stage, including the accidents, training, chewing, mouthy play, zoomies, and all the other silly things that come with being a young dog. I’m not looking for someone who expects a perfectly trained dog right away. I’m looking for someone who sees my potential and is willing to help me become the best version of myself. I’m a sweet boy with a LOT of personality and so much love to give. I’m playful, food motivated, people-oriented, and eager to interact with my humans. I just need someone who is willing to give me the time, structure, patience, and training I need to grow into the wonderful dog I know I can be. If you’re ready for BIG puppy energy, lots of fetch, plenty of laughs, and a sweet boy who is still learning his way in the world, I just might be your guy. ❤️ 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***
