Hi my name is Hotdish, but my people call me Buddy -because I am their cute little buddy! When foster mom says “Hey Buddy” I will come right away because she might have some good treats! Yummy! I am initially shy with strangers, but learning to be brave and with a little time we can be friends. I like to play in the big fenced yard and chase around with the other little dogs. I especially like to catch the leader and you can’t catch me – hee hee! I am getting used to coming back in the house when the other dogs go in- but I am still unsure of the sliding door, my people need to help me in. Good thing there are other dogs in the house, they have shown me so many new things about living in a home. While I would thrive with another dog in my forever home, it isn’t required. Although it would be good if someone was home a lot with me if I am the only dog. Other things I like to do is sit on foster mom’s lap and take a snooze. She says I have Velcro on my tummy because I like to stick to her – hee hee! I am really hoping you have a me-size spot available next to you! My second favorite place to relax are the dog beds. Since there are several dogs in my foster home, I have lots of options. I am a smart boy – I am doing great with potty training on a routine. In fact, so good that foster mom has been letting me sleep in her bed with the rest of the gang. We haven’t worked on leash training – so I require a fenced yard in my forever home. I am also learning the words “out”, “sit” and “stay”. My favorite word is “up” because that means up the stairs and into the bed. We are learning to play with toys, I have started to help myself to toys and trying to figure out catch. I will need more practice in my forever home. There are cats in my foster home and I don’t mind them. One is bigger than me and I tried to smell him – he boxed me a few times so I left him alone. I am a little too curious, so it would be best if there were no cats in my forever home. Not that I am a bad boy, but my curiosity might get me in trouble. Ready to help me be brave, learn new things and most important – do you have a me-size spot available next to you on the couch? Well, then let’s be buddies! *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***
