Meet the Underdogs. Named after Underdog movie characters, we have Rambo, Rocky, Rudy, Erin Brockovich, and Po- the Dragon Warrior! These sweet little babies were found abandoned in a box next to a dumpster and a good Samaritan had found them when he took his garbage out that morning. They were born either early that morning or late the night before as they still had freshly chewed umbilical cords. They were so tiny and cold by the time they got to us we did not think they all would survive, however, after learning to feed from a bottle they have thrived under our care! We had an Embark DNA test donated to us which showed the puppies were 50% Husky, 29% Pit Bull Terrier, 14% American Bulldog, and 5% boxer. Erin was the only girl of the litter and she is also the only one with white and grey like a husky! When they started getting older and opened their eyes we immediately knew these were husky babies just from her looks. She is learning to walk on a leash and sleeps in a crate all night without accidents. She is also starting to potty train with more space being given, and has not had any accidents recently. Like most puppies, they are all learning not to play bite. She is scheduled for her spay and microchip mid-August and has already started her vaccines. She will be considered for a foster to adopt home prior to her surgery. Underdog Litter: 1. Rambo- Dark brown boy- already in a foster-to-adopt home 2. Rocky- Runt, brown boy with black and white face. Most independent, but gets very feisty and active after eating! 3. Rudy- Light brown with white across the back. Blue eyes. Very confident, bit of a trouble maker! 4. Erin Brockovich- Grey, white, and red female. Only female in litter, very vocal, and loves to be held. 5. Po, the Dragon Warrior- largest of litter, black and white like a panda! Quiet. But loves to follow around the big dogs. Bit of a weight bully when wrestling his littermates. All of them love the water and their little plastic pool. They will put their feet in the water bowl too. They will howl with their head thrown back for attention or if they need to potty. They are NOT potty trained, crate trained or leash trained. They are learning. Special requirements to Adopt these guys: 1. Must have a work-from-home or adult rotating schedule. They need to potty every few hours so there must be an adult at home with them at all times for the next few months. 2. Must be able to bring them to the office every 2-3 weeks for the next 2 months while they are completing their medical. They will need vaccine boosters and neutering all done by us here at the office. Your schedule must allow you time to bring them to their appointments. 3. Must sign up for puppy training classes after adoption. Most of the dogs we see in rescue are abandoned or surrendered due to lack of basic obedience. As a foster we rely on you to train them for their forever homes. Since you will be fostering to adopt you must take that on yourself. We do have a volunteer that offers puppy socialization classes at this age on Wednesday evenings. It is not a requirement that you go to her class, but it is offered and recommended. 4. Must have knowledge of PARVO and other illnesses that puppies can get and agree not to take them to places like dog parks where they can be exposed until they are fully vaccinated. Must agree to monitor their health and let us know if there are any concerns immediately. Must agree not to place puppy in unsafe conditions or around dogs that have not been fully vaccinated. 5. Must adhere to all other adoption requirements and procedures as below: Must live within 45 miles of our Columbus office (For other Ohio rescues, check out our Resources Page) Must be 24 or older to adopt Resident pets must be spayed/neutered, UTD on Vaccines and preventions Adoption agreement required Adoption Fees: Adult Dogs – $300
