Adoption Application | Manitoba Underdogs Rescue

Apply Now to Adopt

We’ve got a super-simple questionnaire ready for you. Just be you – honesty is key to finding your perfect match!

Here’s the scoop: We run things from cozy foster homes, which is like doggy vacation until they find their forever home. So, before you meet your potential fur buddy in person, we want to know a bit about you.

And, just to keep things clear, we always want what’s best for our pups, so sometimes we might have to say “no” to a certain adoptable dog you’ve selected. It’s all about making tails wag in the end, and if that’s the case, our team will show you a better suited Underdog!

Adoption Criteria

Be 18 years of age or older.
Have the knowledge and consent of all adults living in your household.
If you rent, have the consent and proof from your landlord.
Have all dogs in the home up to date on vaccinations and, if over the age of 6 months, spayed/neutered.
