Notes from Underdog Rescue MN

McFly is a 9‑pound senior Yorkie mix with the heart (and energy!) of a much younger dog. He’s a lively, affectionate little companion who loves to cuddle, play with his toys, and follow his person around the house. He’s especially obsessed with balls, tug toys, and anything that squeaks — though fluffy squeaker toys don’t stand a chance with him.

He’s a smart boy who knows sit, stay, come, down, go potty, and leave it. He’ll “tell” you when it’s time for treats, potty breaks, playtime, or snuggles, and he even gives hugs. McFly is crate trained, potty trained (outside and on pads), and enjoys the freedom of a fenced yard.

McFly does have a few special needs that his adopter should be comfortable managing. He requires a low‑fat diet, and his foster gives him vitamin B and probiotics. He can be protective of his belongings and may guard food or items he considers “his,” so he’ll benefit from continued positive‑reinforcement training with an experienced owner. He also startles easily if approached suddenly, so he does best when people move slowly and let him know they’re coming.

Despite these quirks, McFly is incredibly loving. He snuggles with other small dogs, brings his toys over when he wants to play, and bonds deeply with his person. He’s goofy, affectionate, and full of personality — the kind of dog who makes you laugh and feel loved every single day.

If you’re an experienced dog owner looking for a sweet, spirited companion who will adore you with his whole heart, McFly is ready to be your little shadow and your best friend.

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.
