Underdog Rescue MN

Underdog Rescue and Placement was founded in 2000 by Shannon McKenzie. Having volunteered for several other animal rescue organizations, Shannon saw a need to help the dogs and cats often overlooked by other rescuers, the “Underdogs”Our very first rescues included a pair of black kittens named Fenway & Wrigley, a pitbull puppy named Lucy and a tiny Toy Poodle named Lily (who was suffering from a head injury). No other rescue groups would take Fenway or Wrigley because black kittens are often overlooked by potential adopters, and, up until the time we rescued Lucy, rescue groups had not been allowed to rescue any dog considered to be a “Pit Bull” from Minneapolis Animal Control.While in law school, Shannon McKenzie had the “anti-pitbull” policy changed, with the assistance of Attorney, Marshall Tannick. Underdog Rescue continues to successfully rescue and place pitbulls and other “bully-breeds” through a continued partnership with Minneapolis Animal Control.Shannon’s dedication to the Underdog also extends to puppy mill survivors. Dogs that survive life in a puppy mill often come with a different set of challenges. They may require additional medical care, socialization and teaching of basic dog skills even though some may be adults. Our volunteers understand this and welcome these pets into their homes to show them what life as a dog and life with kind humans is like.

Meet Biscuit

  Date of Birth: 02/29/2024 Weight: 1.5 pounds Good with dogs: unknown Good with cats: unknown Litter box trained: Yes Requires another cat in the home: yes *indoor cat only* Biscuit was the first kitten to purr for human affection, and still holds the best purr award, earning the nickname “purr-box” from her foster family. Biscuit is a little shy when brought into new areas of the house, but eventually warms up enough to explore. A calm(ish) household with another feline friend would be best for her. She and her sister, Brie are besties and are usually found playing or napping together.   We'd love to see them adopted together! Biscuit is doing great with litter box training, was born into her foster home, and has been socialized within her foster home.  This sweet kitten will be ready to move into a forever home after 4/25 and applications are now being accepted to complete the meet and greet before that!  Biscuit will be adopted out with a required use spay certificate, to be completed at our local vets, at 6 months of age.   Please note that this is a strictly indoor cat. This kitten may may require a home with another kitten as kittens are family oriented and do best when adopted in littermate pairs. Please fill out a Feline application here: https://underdogrescuemn.com/adoption-applications/feline-adoption-application/

Adoption Process
Our process for adoption is: 1. Potential applicant searches our available dogs and/or cats listings and completes an adoption application. 2. Our staff reviews the application and puts you in contact with the foster volunteer of the pet your interested in. 3. The foster volunteer coordinates a “meet and greet” with you and any other members of your household. 4. If the foster and adopter agree the pet is a good fit, a home visit will be scheduled. Upon completion of a successful home visit, you will complete and sign our adoption contract, pay the fee, and take home your new pet!

Look for other cats for adoption!
