How does Underdog ResQ decide which dogs to admit?
Underdog ResQ focuses on rescuing good and adoptable dogs found in animal shelters and hospitals. Some animal hospitals board stray dogs for their town but do not have adoption programs. They rely on rescues and other shelters to assist in placement or else the dog will most likely be euthanized. Some Animal Control agencies do not have adoption programs or do not have a way to advertise their dogs. An experienced and trained director or volunteer performs a temperament evaluation that tests the dog with food, other dogs, toys, etc. to make sure that they do not show any possessive or aggressive traits. Dogs that illustrate aggressive and possessive behaviors during the behavior evaluation are not admitted. Dogs with bite histories are also not admitted. Underdog ResQ strives to rescue good dogs regardless of breed or age.
