May's Story

Meet May! May is a 5-year-old, 14-pound Shih Tzu girl who is looking for a very special person to call her own.<br/><br/>May is a shy girl who needs a little time to feel comfortable with new people. She isn't the dog who is going to run up to you and shower you with kisses within the first few minutes of meeting you. She needs patience, kindness, and the opportunity to get to know you at her own pace. But once May decides you can be trusted, something wonderful happens—she becomes the sweetest little companion who will happily sit by your side and soak up all the love you want to give her. <br/><br/>May has been with Underdog for some time because she was extremely nervous when she first arrived. But look at her now! She has come such a long way, and we are incredibly proud of her progress. We know there is a special family out there who will appreciate just how rewarding it is to earn the trust of a shy dog like May.<br/><br/>May is not accustomed to being leash walked, so a home with a securely fenced yard would be ideal for her. She would also love to have at least one other friendly canine companion to help show her the ropes and give her confidence.<br/><br/>May is looking for a quiet, low-traffic home where she can continue to blossom without being overwhelmed. If you have the patience to let her come out of her shell on her own time, May could become your sweetest and most devoted little buddy for life. She deserves someone who will see the wonderful dog underneath her shyness and give her the time and love she needs to shine. <br/><br/>Adoption $500<br/><br/>All UnderDogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm checked, microchipped, up to date on vaccines and heartworm/flea/tick preventatives. For consideration for one or more dogs, we require that an on-line application is filled out. <br/><br/>TO ADOPT THIS DOG PLEASE FILL OUT AN APPLICATION AT https://underdogrescueofflorida.com/. Look<br/><br/>Sorry, we do not adopt outside of Florida. Applicants are subject to a home visit, and veterinary references will be checked. Please include a vet reference (including phone number) when applying online.<br/><br/>Our application process:<br/>FIRST, an application must be approved for adoption from our rescue.<br/>SECOND, we determine whether the dog that has been applied for is a "good match" for the household that wants to adopt him/her. We take into consideration the dog's activity level, compatibility with other members of the household (human and other pets), etc.<br/>If your application has been approved, but the dog you applied for is no longer available, please take the time and look over our adoptable dogs again. We will make every effort to find the right dog for an approved applicant.<br/><br/>We hope you agree and understand that our goal to find the best forever home is our #1 priority!
