Underdogs Rock! Rescue

We are a small Portland, Oregon based 501c3 organization rescuing dogs from the over crowded shelters in Southern California, Alabama, and Hawaii. We foster the dogs until they are healthy and help them find their forever homes! Contact us at [email protected] work directly with Rescue Groups in Southern California to rescue dogs who are on their last days in the high-kill shelters. Because our dogs are in Foster Homes we get to know the dogs personalities and needs. As we know the dogs well and how they do in a home environment, we do a great job in matching families with the right dog, and the right family for the dog!

Meet Squishy Teddy

Hi There! My name is Squishy Teddy, I'm an 9 pound (kinda skinny right now), 6 year old neutered male terrier / poodle / maltese mix of sorts who is a whole bunch of cuteness. I'm  a super sweet guy with a very gentle disposition who loves to cuddle, go on walks, play ball, & eat treats. I'm very food motivated & I know  a bunch of commands like sit, shake, & come of which of course you will reward me with a treat! I even sometimes walks on my two hind legs & have done a turn around while doing so, but it was not on command, I just did it on my own! I arrived at the shelter a matted mess, so I'm still a little sensitive when you try to groom my face. My foster mama gives me a few extra treats when my beard is brushed and that sure helps!  I sure like (you could even say love) other dogs and I'm super friendly and sociable, and bonus, I get  along with cats as well. I can be verbal at times & will bark at knocks at the door or strangers coming over but that's what dogs do and it's nothing out of the norm for us doggies. I settle down once the excitement of a new guest is in the home, and then I want to be near them.  I've been very respectful of my indoor + outdoor space & has not chewed anything that was not my toys or my treats.  I've also have had zero potty accidents at my foster's home and even when she's been away for a while, I'm so chill and lounge and wait til she gets home to go outside to potty!  Pretty fabulous, right? Because I'm so social & I really love other dogs, I would probably do well in a home where there is another fur sibling and/or have frequent play dates with doggie friends.  Because of my size I would do best in a home with older children.  Underdogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives. Adoption fee is $380.   You MUST have an Underdogs Rock Rescue application on file to request a meet with an Underdog. An online Underdogs Rock adoption application can only be accessed at  https://underdogsrock.org/adopt-a-dog  . Dogs are not held for applicants or shipped outside of the Portland metro area. Home checks are also part of the process and will be conducted virtually. For updates on all the Underdogs be sure to follow the Underdogs Rock Rescue Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/UnderdogsRockRescue
