Underdog’s journey began as a stray in South Carolina, landing at a rural shelter before Carolina Poodle Rescue swooped in to give him a second chance. Now thriving in a foster home at Dreamweaver Farms in Pacolet, SC, this bold, spirited terrier mix is ready to leave the past behind and find a home where he can shine.

Why Underdog Is So Special
🐾 Approx. 3 years old (DOB: 08/05/2022), neutered male
⚖️ 16 lbs, 12 in at the shoulder
💖 Heartworm survivor—treated with diroban injections; will need a follow-up test on 08/26/2026
🧡 Bold, confident personality with a huge heart and endless affection
🦴 Loves rough-and-tumble play and cuddling alike
🏡 House-trained when in a structured environment

What He’s Looking For
✔️ A home where he can be the one and only pup—or with a confident, playful dog companion
✔️ Older children (15+) or adult-only home; a calmer environment helps him feel secure
✔️ A securely fenced yard (6 feet or higher) or multiple daily walks with sniff time to burn off his terrier energy
✔️ Patient humans who understand his enthusiastic personality and occasional bashfulness

Extra Notes
💌 Adoption Fee: $299
📍 Foster: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet, SC
🐕 Can live with other dogs if they are well-matched in energy and confidence
🥰 Loves face pets, cuddles, and being close to his humans—once he warms up, you won’t get him off your lap!

Underdog is a resilient, loving, and endlessly entertaining companion who’s ready to pour all his energy, affection, and loyalty into the right home. Could you be the person to give him the life he deserves?
