Notes from listing

Keep checking back for upcoming events I will be attending! Mary Ann is a 10‑pound Lab mix puppy overflowing with charm, sweetness, and just the right amount of spice. In her foster home she's playful, silly, and full of confidence, but in new places she can be a little timid at first. With a few minutes to observe and warm up, she's quick to greet new people - especially children - with her wiggly body and bright eyes. She loves squeaky and chew toys and keeps a rotating pile of favorites nearby. When she's tired, she becomes an instant snuggle bug, curling into your lap or at your feet with the softest little sigh. She's affectionate, goofy, intelligent, and wonderfully even‑tempered. Mary Ann is doing well with potty training for her age. She uses potty pads occasionally, does best on a consistent outdoor schedule, and has zero accidents in her crate. She sleeps beautifully through the night and settles quickly unless she's still full of puppy energy. She's working on leash walking and basic commands like sit, come, stay, and go potty - and she loves earning treats and praise. She's appropriately cautious with new experiences, but she engages thoughtfully, gains confidence quickly, and soon "owns" the moment. She's never shown aggression. She's currently best friends with a 9‑pound young cat - the two of them play, chase, and eventually fall asleep together in a little heap of cuteness. Mary Ann loves attention, including baths, brushing, nail trims, and all the gentle care that comes with being part of a family. She's happiest near her people - curled at your feet while you cook, sitting by your chair at the table, or snoozing in your lap during quiet moments. This little girl is irresistibly cute, full of promise, and ready to bring endless giggles, puppy kisses, and warm cuddles to her forever home. She's the perfect mix of playful companion and snuggly sweetheart, and she'll make her new family fall in love instantly. **Obedience classes are required when adopting this puppy from Underdog Rescue. Many of our puppies have a mama who was not properly socialized before coming to Underdog Rescue. Since coming to Underdog, this puppy has been in a socialized and loving home, but that needs to be continued with its Adopters. Training classes teach puppies the ins and outs of being a pet while creating a bond with their new Adopter. Obedience classes are key to creating a relationship with your puppy while having it be a happy and successful member of society. Proof of Obedience Class registration is required for this puppy before adoptions can be finalized. If you would like some suggestions, we would be happy to send some trainers who have experience with Underdog Rescue, but a Basic Obedience class in your area should work! 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. T his puppy requires an application fee. This fee must be paid within 24 hours, or your application will be considered void. We will not review or contact applicants that have not completed the payment portion. Puppy Applications will be responded to within 5 business days, after receipt of the application fee. Please understand that paying the fee does not guarantee you will be approved to adopt the puppy. Our goal is to place puppies in homes that are suited for their individual needs. You may be willing and able to provide a great home, but if it doesn't meet the specific needs of the puppy, we will not approve your application. We accept applications for puppies until we have a candidate that meets all of the requirements needed for the specific puppy and they have been contacted to review the adoption process as well as agree to all of the terms to move forward. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***
