I am a stunning, wrinkly-faced young adult female Belgian Malinois/Boxer mix with an adorable underbite who’s the perfect mix of energetic and relaxed. I am an unpredictable gal with a high prey drive so cats are not a good fit for me; I’m reactive when it comes to other dogs or unknown/sudden sounds like bikes whizzing by etc.; and I’m a pack follower so if there’s a fight, I may feel compelled to join the chaos. That said, I went to a training facility where there were many other dogs and I did great so I think with time, patience, and continued training I may overcome these ‘quirks’ of mine!! Hee, hee! Anyway, my favorite activities include cuddling with my people; going for leashed walks; snoozing on the couch; eating; playing with squeaky toys; chewing on bones/sticks; chasing the cat; chilling with my canine sib; running zoomies; and barking at strangers outside! I don’t like a lot of commotion and have been known to bite if someone comes into the house when foster mom is not home. I am, however, a very smart girl who will not only give myself a kenneled ‘time-out’ if I’m barking too much but I am potty trained and I know commands like “sit”, “down”, “kennel/crate”, and “heel”! Seriously, how brilliant am I!?! I am a great listener too which makes training a lot easier! Hee, hee!! I know that I’m a bit unpredictable right now but I’m still young and I really am a sweetheart who simply wants to find unconditional love in my own furever home with a patient family who will NEVER give up on me! My heart is SO full of love that I really want to share with YOU…please be my new family, I assure you I’m worth it! Love Raquel NOTE: Raquel has had a DNA test and is 38% Belgian Malinois, 18% Boxer and 17% American Pitbull Terrier Note that this dog has been treated for heartworm  and will need monthly heartworm preventatives year round for life.  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. 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.      ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com> ADOPTION EVENTS:      Adoption events are updated at the top of each dogs animals' as their foster home signs up. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. If an event is not listed within their bio above, the animal is not planning to attend.  Please understand that all of our pets are in volunteer foster homes and sometimes "life" happens and the foster family cannot make it to their scheduled adoption event. If you are traveling from a far distance to meet a specific animal, please understand we cannot guarantee event attendance. We recommend filling out an application and we will set up a private appointment. Private appointments are only scheduled after an application is submitted and approved. ADOPTION PROCEDURE: The first step in our process is to complete an online adoption application on our website: http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/adoptionprocess/   Note: In most circumstances Underdog Rescue will only adopt within 60 miles of Minneapolis, MN.  All of our foster animals can be seen by appointment with an approved adoption application. Contact us at http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/contact-us/ if you have further questions. FOSTER CARE: All of our animals are fostered in individual homes or doggie daycare facilities. While they are in our care, they are part of our families and given lots of love. We work on training, crate-training and socialization prior to adoption, but each bio is written by the foster as they see them, in their home. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality, but it cannot be guaranteed. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves in time and with patience.  If you have an interest and ability to be a foster home, please visit our website  www.underdogrescuemn.com/foster-applications  and fill out a foster application. NUTRITION: Nutrition is vital to the rehabilitation and life-long health of our pets.  All of our foster animals are fed a premium diet such as NutriSource, Canidae, Orijen, Nature's Variety, Fromm, Pure Vita, Stella and Chewy's, Primal, or balanced raw diet.  All adopters are required to continue providing premium diets for the life of the animal.

We got Bär (Bear) from the local humane society. He was found as a stray in the area with no chip and we believe no collar. We know nothing of his past prior to being picked up. Initially Bär was very wary of strangers, especially men, and had attempted to nip at two different men on separate occasions. He has calmed down significantly and no longer barks at every noise, but he is very protective of myself and the house. If he met a stranger away from the house, he is alert and cautious, but very friendly and open. When meeting a stranger at home, his behavior can range from full alert and aggressive barking to excited sniffing and hoping. Bär is easily excited and constantly needs to be in the middle of whatever is going on. He is very food motivated and did bite our daughter, we believe because he thought he was getting a treat and simply overreacted. His high energy is too much for our 3 cats but they all get along.

HI - I'M FREYA! I'm a sweet and gentle almost 2-year-old Belgian Malinois mix in need of a foster or forever home! I was rescued from a crowded California shelter in the nick of time. While there, I was kenneled with another dog, and was calm and gentle. I love playing with other dogs, and I also tested great with cats! (We have videos!) I would do best with an active person or people who can take me for long walks, hikes and other outings. I weigh about 55-59 lbs. I'm currently still in California, but can be transported to you in Minnesota. Please email for an application.

Hi, my name is Scott and I am from Alabama. From his foster: Looking for a best friend who’s equal parts snuggle bug and backyard rocket? Meet Scott—an adorable, wildly intelligent pup with a heart full of love and legs full of zoomies. He’s picking up potty training fast and already mastered “sit” in under a day. We’re working on other basics like “wait,” “come,” and “please don’t eat the couch,” and he’s doing great. Scott’s favorite activities include leaf pile destruction, backyard sprints, and being your personal shadow. He’s a world-class cuddler who’ll happily glue himself to your side on the couch. But don’t be fooled by his puppy eyes, Scott’s got energy for days. He’s a working breed pup and needs someone who understands high-octane dogs and can keep up with his brain and his bounce. If you’ve got the experience, the stamina, and the love to give, Scott’s ready to be your loyal sidekick, cuddle buddy, and leaf pile co-pilot.

Hi, my name is Sarah and I am from Alabama. From her foster: Sarah is a sweet, playful, friendly and snuggly girl. She loves to hang out with her pack of her foster mom, and two older fur sisters. She’s getting better at potty training every day.
