Boxer puppies and dogs in Golden Valley, Minnesota

Welcome Honey to CCPAL foster Program. Honey is a 3 year old Boxer mixed dog. She is potty trained. We think Honey survived the flood in Kerrville. A good samaritan has taken her in and is giving her good nutrition and love until we find her forever home. She was really scratched up and had a wound on her front left leg. She will be spayed soon and she is going to the vet again for a follow up on her leg. Our guess is it may have gotten broken and healed back on it’s own due to what she has gone through. She is good on a leash, very loving and bonds deeply. She lives with 5 cats right now but she is much too interested and we feel her best home would be without cats. She loves all people and no one is a stranger. She is good with dogs her size and is an energetic girl. Her best home would be with an active and ourdoorsy family that wants a great companion to join them in their outdoor fun. She is looking wonderful and filling out nicely in her new foster home. She lost some muscle around her bum area due to the length of time she was without food. Despite this, she would make an amazing family pet. She would love to be the only dog and be the center of her families attention. She weighs about 40 pounds and is a taller dog but medium weight. She is great in a car and would make a great dog in settings where lots of people are around. She is lower in shedding. She will be getting spayed soon and ready for her forever home. She is currently in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is 300 and transport is 200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions.

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.    Hobbies: Sunbathing, snacking, and surprising everyone with her newfound zest for life.   Cammy is in her  “retired but thriving”  era — the Golden Girl of the group who’s discovered that naps are great, but playtime with friends might be even better!   Once a quiet observer, Cammy has blossomed into a social butterfly (well… maybe more of a cozy golden bumblebee ). She now happily snuggles up with her 14 dog friends and joins in on the fun when the mood strikes — from gentle wrestling matches to wiggly tail wags that could melt your heart.   She still appreciates a soft bed, a warm patch of sunlight, and a steady supply of snacks, but she’s also learned that life’s even better when you share it with your pack.   Cammy’s the total package — mellow, loving, and delightfully playful in her golden years. If you’re looking for a low-maintenance best friend who can keep you company for naps  and  bring a little joy to your day, Cammy’s your girl.    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.   ***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.

🐾 Meet Poochie! 🐾 Poochie is a sweet and loving 2-year-old female Boxer mix with a medium-sized build and a heart full of affection. She is one of those dogs who truly loves her people. Poochie adores kids and thrives on human connection, making her a wonderful family companion. She does best with slow, thoughtful introductions to other pets, but once she feels comfortable, she does beautifully. In her current foster home, Poochie lives peacefully with other animals and has even shown she can coexist calmly with guinea pigs. She just needs a little time to settle in and feel safe. Poochie is spayed and up to date on all vaccines and preventions, so she is ready to start her next chapter right away. She would do great in a home that offers patience, love, and continued positive introductions as she builds trust. 💜 Good with people and kids 💜 Good with other animals after slow introductions 💜 Sweet, gentle, and loving Adoption Fees: • $200 Local Adoption (Texas) • $450 Out-of-State Adoption (includes transport) If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who will fit beautifully into a family environment, Poochie may be your perfect match. 🐶💕

WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org ☀️🐾 Meet Hank — Built of Sunshine, Wiggles, and Pure Puppy Joy 🐾☀️ Male • 3–4 Months Old • ~25lbs (estimated 50–60 lbs full grown) Hank is what happens when you combine a professional-level puppy, a heart of pure gold, and a warm coppery coat that practically glows in the sunlight. The result? One ridiculously handsome, full-body-wiggling, happiness-on-four-legs kind of guy. At just 3–4 months old and already around 25lbs, Hank is growing like a weed and is expected to land somewhere in the 50–60 lb range when fully grown — the perfect size for big adventures, big snuggles, and taking up most (but not all) of your couch. He is currently deep in the “all gas, no brakes” stage of puppyhood. His daily schedule includes joyful chaos, dramatic zoomies, enthusiastic greetings, and spreading happiness like it’s his full-time job. What Life with Hank Looks Like: • Full-body tail wags (rear end has its own rhythm) • Surprise zoomies at highly inconvenient but hilarious times • Slobbery kisses delivered with confidence • Puppy cuddles that quickly escalate into wrestling matches • Sharp little puppy teeth & nails (standard factory settings, but they're temporary) • Laughing way more than you expected Hank is wonderful with people and great with other dogs. At this age, he should do just fine with cats when introduced properly and given guidance. He’s soaking up the world like a sponge and is at that golden learning stage where consistency, patience, and a good sense of humor will help him grow into an absolutely fantastic adult dog. He’s going to be a solid, happy, medium-to-large boy — ideal for outdoor adventures, hiking buddies, backyard play sessions, and then collapsing dramatically on the couch as if he’s just completed a marathon. (Spoiler alert: he chased a leaf.) 🏡 Hank’s Ideal Home: • Ready for puppy energy and growing paws • Willing to embrace a little chaos with a lot of love • Excited to raise a confident 50–60 lb best friend • Comfortable sharing the couch (you’ll still get a few inches 😁) If your life could use more laughter, more wiggles, and a whole lot of heart, Hank is ready to bring it — in a growing package of pure joy. 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org and let Hank bring the glow, the giggles, wiggles and the puppy magic to your home 🐶✨

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.  Keep checking back for upcoming events I will be attending!         Meet Kiddo! Kiddo is a young, energetic Pit Bull with a heart as big as his personality. This extremely sweet boy is always ready for fun and would thrive in a home with an active companion who wants to race around the yard, hit the trails, or go for runs together. If you love hiking, jogging, or staying on the move, Kiddo is your perfect match. Kiddo is on the smaller side for his breed, making him the ideal companion size. He’s well-mannered and smart, already crate trained, leash trained, potty trained, and familiar with basic commands. He’s eager to please and loves bonding with his people through play, exercise, and affection. If you’re looking for a loyal, high-energy best friend who’s equal parts playful and loving, Kiddo is ready to join you on all of life’s adventures.   I’m a growing puppy and I have not yet had a lot of experience with crates, kids or cats and I might bark if something alarms me, but I really love to learn and hoping for a family who will take me to a basic obedience class to continue to help me build confidence and dog skills. Ideally my forever home would need to be home during the day to help me with my potty training and not leave me for breaks longer than 3 - 4 hours. If you are looking for a best friend, please fill out the puppy application. The more info you include on the application the better so I can find a good match for my forever home. Get your toy box ready! **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.

Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.    Meet Little Lucky — your future best friend and personal space enthusiast. Little Lucky is the perfect blend of playtime, snuggles, and laid-back vibes. He loves  everyone  he meets, two-legged and four-legged alike, and has a gentle play style that even the shyest dogs can’t resist. If another dog isn’t in the mood? No problem. Little Lucky simply shrugs it off and carries on being his charming self. A true lover at heart, Little Lucky prefers to be close to his humans. Very close. Like “are you sure this isn’t close enough?” close. His kennel is his safe space, and he often goes inside to just chill. He’s happily food-motivated (who isn’t?) and not food aggressive. With plenty of puppy-like energy to burn, Little Lucky would thrive with an active family or a home with a fenced yard where he can zoom, explore, and then come back inside for well-earned snuggles. Equal parts fun and affection, Little Lucky is ready to make your home a little luckier.  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.

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.    Kelly is the undeniable life of the party, the kind of dog who enters a room like she’s kicking open saloon doors and announcing that fun has officially arrived. She’s a young, busy girl with a heart full of joy and legs full of zoomies. If there’s another dog around, she’s ready to wrestle, chase, or initiate a spontaneous backyard Olympics. Her enthusiasm is so big that her entire body gets involved—she doesn’t just wag her tail, she wiggles from nose to toes like she’s made of pure happiness. She loves treats, toys, snacks, games, and basically anything that can be classified under the general theme of fun. And even though she’s a high-energy goofball when she’s playing, she settles beautifully in her crate and sleeps through the night like a well-behaved angel who just happens to be disguised as a tornado when she’s awake. She walks on a leash with the enthusiasm of someone late for a very important party, but she’s learning quickly and improving every day. Kelly is friendly, affectionate, silly, and ready to make every day feel like a celebration. She’d love a yard to zoom around in but doesn’t require one as long as her humans help her get her energy out. Because she’s a jumpy, excited girl, she’d do best with older kids who won’t mind her enthusiastic greetings. She’s the perfect mix of playful and sweet, a joyful whirlwind who will wiggle her way into your heart and never leave.

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.
