Belgian Malinois puppies and dogs in Crystal, Minnesota

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.    DOB: 02/08/2021 Requires another dog in home: No, picky about her friends Okay with dogs of all sizes: Not good with small dogs - read more in profile  Okay with cats: No, dog savvy cats only Okay with children under 12 years old: Older, considerate kids only Requires a fenced yard: No Note: dogs must always be leashed whenever outside of a contained area. Invisible/ underground fencing is not recommended for most rescue dogs. Hello, my name is Raquel. 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.

Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org 🐾🌟 Meet Nash — Your Co-Pilot for Life’s Next Adventure 🌟🐾 Male • 4 Months Old • Shepherd Blend • ~15 lbs (for now!) If you’ve been searching for a handsome, happy, life-loving puppy who wakes up every morning ready to take on the world… Nash would like to submit his application. At just 4 months old and around 15 pounds, Nash is currently in the very important stage of puppyhood known as “Everything Is Amazing and I Must Investigate It Immediately.” Leaf blowing across the yard? Investigation required. Toy on the floor? Time for a wrestling match. Another dog nearby? Instant best friend. Nash is a sweet, playful, active pup who absolutely loves other dogs and would be thrilled to have a playmate for backyard zoomies, wrestling matches, and the occasional “who can run faster” competition. He’s also wonderful with people and brings that classic happy puppy energy wherever he goes. Of course, like most pups his age, Nash does come equipped with tiny puppy shark teeth and sharp little nails — mainly used for enthusiastic kisses, toy battles, and the occasional investigation of shoelaces. Cats are currently unknown, but since Nash is still so young, with proper introductions he should adapt just fine. One thing is certain: Nash is a full-time bringer of puppy joy and laughter. Life with him will include plenty of silly moments, wiggly greetings, surprise zoomies, and all the goofy puppy shenanigans that make raising a dog so much fun. And when he grows up? Nash is expected to be that perfect medium size — big enough for adventures but still compact enough to fit perfectly into everyday life. That means he’s ready to sign up for things like: • Hiking and weekend adventures • Neighborhood walks • Camping trips • Backyard playtime • Co-piloting all errand runs (he takes this job very seriously) • Couch snuggles after a long day of fun If you’re looking for a pup who will bring laughter, adventure, and a whole lot of love into your life, Nash is ready to jump into the passenger seat and start the journey. 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org and let Nash bring the puppy fun, the zoomies, and the lifelong friendship home. 🐶💛

🐾 Meet Waffles! 🐾 Age: 3 years old Breed: Belgian Malinois Mix Status: Spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and preventions Waffles is a stunning, smart, and athletic Belgian Malinois mix looking for her forever family! At 3 years old, she’s past the puppy stage but still full of energy and enthusiasm. This girl is incredibly sweet and eager to please, but she will thrive best with a breed knowledgeable owner who understands both the mental and physical needs of a Malinois. Waffles loves a good game of fetch, and she’ll happily play for hours if you let her. She has had professional training, which makes her a fantastic partner for someone who enjoys structure, exercise, and continued learning. Her trainer is also willing to work with her new adopters should they like to continue her training. Like many Malinois, she has prey drive and will definitely keep the squirrels out of your yard. With cats, she’ll need slow, careful introductions. If they run, she may want to chase. She does well with other non-dominant dogs, but proper introductions are important to set her up for success. If you’re looking for a loyal, athletic, and intelligent companion who will love adventure as much as she loves downtime with her people, Waffles could be the perfect match. 💌 Could Waffles be your new best friend? Apply today and give this amazing girl the home she deserves! $200 Local Adoption Fee (in Texas) $450 Out of State Fee (includes transportation to your area)

Tulane is a shepherd mix who is just looking for a quiet home filled with love. Once he knows he's home and safe he loves nothing more than to nuzzle up close to his people and be held. His happy place is being held, and if he's in your arms he will tolerate just about anything. Tulane is an anxious dog who above all is looking for a relaxed household where he can feel safe, if you give him that, he'll give you his heart.  When the world is overwhelming, Tulane knows the best place to find his own inner peace is in a pile of throw pillows. He is regularly found on the couch tucked in between several pillows, in a fort of his own making. To help him get less overwhelmed by the world Tulane takes a daily mental health medicine with his food, he's happy to gobble it right up with his breakfast and then the world is a bit less scary.  Tulane is potty trained, crate trained, and not prone to running away, making him ready to fit into his forever home. While he’s friendly with other dogs, Tulane would be best suited to live with a very mellow other dog, or as any only dog.  Tulane has a condition called patellar luxation, affecting his kneecap, but its easily managed and doesn't impact his life much. The vet recommends avoiding long walks on pavement, however, this is a blessing in disguise because Tulane doesn't really want to go on walks! He is a homebody who is likely to run and hide when he sees the leash.  If you’re looking for an affectionate, and deeply loyal companion who will adore being by your side, Tulane is ready and waiting. Come meet him and you just might find the missing piece of your heart. Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, alter, rabies vaccination if age appropriate, prepaid microchip, dental, dewormed, Distemper combo vaccines appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, heartworm and flea/tick preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $525.00Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 4:11 pm

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. //   Find our applications at www.midwestanimalrescue.orgAdoption Fee: $475 plus taxJaya is a sweet husky/german shepherd mix. She is very loving and vocal. She loves a schedule and will let you know she’s ready for bed by taking herself to her crate. She loves her crate and willingly goes in every morning when we go to work. She much prefers her crate to free roaming. She gets pretty anxious when left out alone even for a short while. Jaya is fully potty trained and we have never had an accident in the house. She loves her toys, especially her ball, and she will carry it around like a security blanket. She  has a history of guarding her toys, but when she feels comfortable she loves for you to play with her, especially fetch, though she may not give it back unless you have a spare ball to trade. She is food motivated to an extent, but can grow bored of treats and will gladly accept affection as a reward. She is very smart and well behaved. She has not chewed on anything that wasn’t hers. She will suckle her bed when she’s anxious. Jaya has reactivity on the leash especially with other dogs, but we think it stems from excitement and curiosity. She loves having people over to the house, and when we introduced her to another dog she was excited but respectful. She would thrive in a house with a fenced in yard she can run. She is making a lot of progress on the leash and though she does still have a tendency to pull, she learns quickly if you are firm and only allow her to keep walking when the leash is loose. We have also taught her to sit and get her paws wiped before she comes inside, which if kept up is very handy on muddy days. She knows all of the basic commands, and was able to learn more very quickly. She is eager to learn and loves training games. Jaya  has started Prozac for her anxiety recently and is adjusting well. She takes the medication very well when it’s in cheese or peanut butter. She is not food aggressive and will take treats very gently and will sit and wait patiently for her meals until you use a release word.  If you have previously applied with us please email placement@midwestanimalrescue.org to reactivate your application with new interest.All fees are subject to MN sales tax and a processing fee at the time of adoption.

Age: Approximately 2 year old Weight: 35 lbs Dog friendly: Yes Cat friendly: No Kid friendly: Yes Potty trained: Yes Crate trained: Yes My name is Bosco and I am a wonderful, loving boy looking for a great forever time. Snuggles? Check! Playing Tug? Check! Playing fetch? Check. Cute as can be? Check. I have enjoyed being with my foster family a lot, but it is time to find my forever home. I have had a blast playing with their three dogs and two boys. I wrestle, play and romp with the pups. I also love to play tug and cuddle with the boys. I would do great whether I am an only dog or in a pack. I am potty trained and sleep in my crate at night. I also ride in the car well. Like most all of us, humans and canines alike, I would really do well with a little training. I am pretty darn smart and will do very well with it. I really can’t wait to get to my forever home.
