Dorito has grown so much over the past few months, and he just keeps getting better. His signature floppy "satellite ears" and long, goofy limbs make him as adorable as he is unforgettable - and his personality matches the charm.
This smart boy loves to learn and show off what he knows. He's mastered several commands including "sit," "down," "drop it," "wait" (at doorways), "stay," and "off." Dorito is highly trainable and eager to please, and he's very food motivated, which makes learning new things both fun and easy. He's also fully potty trained and will wait patiently by the door when he needs to go out.
On walks, Dorito shines. He walks beautifully on an Easy Walk harness with no pulling, making outings enjoyable and easy. At home, he's the perfect balance - playful and fun when it's time to play (he loves fetch, tug-of-war, and a good chase), but just as happy to settle down, relax, and cuddle up by your side. He's also respectful with his toys and doesn't destroy them, preferring instead to enjoy them or stash away his favorite bones - both inside and outside - like little hidden treasures.
Dorito thrives on routine and social time. He's a regular at the dog park, where he's made friends of all sizes - from the tiniest pups to giant breeds like Saint Bernards. He has an intuitive, friendly play style: he happily engages with playful dogs and respectfully gives space to those who prefer it.
With his affectionate nature and joyful energy, Dorito truly embodies the spirit of a playful, loyal best friend. He bonds deeply, loves wholeheartedly, and is ready to bring fun, companionship, and lots of love to his forever home.
**Obedience classes are required when adopting this puppy from Underdog Rescue. Many of our puppies have a mama who was not properly socialized before coming to Underdog Rescue. Since coming to Underdog, this puppy has been in a socialized and loving home, but that needs to be continued with its Adopters. Training classes teach puppies the ins and outs of being a pet while creating a bond with their new Adopter. Obedience classes are key to creating a relationship with your puppy while having it be a happy and successful member of society. Proof of Obedience Class registration is required for this puppy before adoptions can be finalized. If you would like some suggestions, we would be happy to send some trainers who have experience with Underdog Rescue, but a Basic Obedience class in your area should work!
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.
T
his puppy requires an application fee. This fee must be paid within 24 hours, or your application will be considered void. We will not review or contact applicants that have not completed the payment portion.
Puppy Applications will be responded to within 5 business days, after receipt of the application fee. Please understand that paying the fee does not guarantee you will be approved to adopt the puppy. Our goal is to place puppies in homes that are suited for their individual needs. You may be willing and able to provide a great home, but if it doesn't meet the specific needs of the puppy, we will not approve your application.
We accept applications for puppies until we have a candidate that meets all of the requirements needed for the specific puppy and they have been contacted to review the adoption process as well as agree to all of the terms to move forward.
