Boxer puppies and dogs in Minnetonka, Minnesota

Hi, my name is Jackie. I am from Georgia. Meet Jackie - a wonderfully clumsy, moderate-energy young pup with bulldog snores and boxer antics (because of course she’s literally made of those two breeds). She’ll do a few joyful zoomie laps around the house and then immediately take a dramatic nap like she just ran a 5k. Jackie is fully potty-trained and sleeps peacefully through the night in her own bed. She knows sit, takes treats gently, and absolutely loves balls. She can be a little squirmy and unsure at first, but once she warms up, she melts right into you like butter in a hot pan. She may benefit from having a confident dog sibling to learn from, but it’s not required—she can thrive solo, too. Because she’s sensitive to sudden movement and startle responses, Jackie would do best in a home with older kids only. She’ll really blossom with gentle reassurance, structure, and routine. She may only be working with about two brain cells on a good day- but they’re the sweetest, most affectionate two brain cells you’ll ever meet. ❤️ Are you ready to give this snuggly little goofball her forever home?

Hi, my name is Raven and I am from Arkansas! I am the sweetest girl ever. I am calm, gentle, and so so sweet. I LOVE to nap and cuddle up with my humans and go for strolls (I LOVE squirrels). I am very curious about other humans and puppers and love to say hi. I am a bit nervous about new things at first, but I just need some encouragement. My current humans leave me out when they are gone, and I LOVE to nap on the couch and play a little, and I don't make a mess. I do have some anxiety in a crate but am very relaxed and trustworthy when I have so much love to give, and hope it can be to you! P.S. I will give you ALLLLL of the kisses EVER!!

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. 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.

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.

Bennie may be small, but don’t let her size fool you—this tiny pup is absolutely mighty and still has a lot of time to grow. A little sweetheart through and through, she fills every room with charm and cuddles. Bennie loves nothing more than curling up for long naps with her mom, batting around her favorite toys, and faithfully following her favorite people wherever they go. Each morning, Bennie starts her day with a very important “morning meeting” with her sister, usually followed by a competitive round of tug-of-war. She’s a quick learner—she mastered “sit” in minutes!—though potty training is still a work in progress (and she’s doing her best). With her brave spirit, soft snuggles, and endlessly sweet personality, Bennie is the perfect mix of tiny and mighty All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.

Hi, my name is Laklyn and I am from Georgia! From her foster: This pretty little lady will warm your heart. She is a huge snuggler and loves lots of attention. She also is very goofy and a bit clumsy, but that just adds to her sweet and calm disposition. She will be hard to say goodbye to. From the Vet: Laklyn was evaluated at The BB Vet Center shortly after arrival for a few medical concern we are currently monitoring/treating. She had conjuctivitis (eye infection) that is being treated with a topical antibiotic. The main concern for her was we noted she has a tendency to stand on 3 legs instead of all 4. We took radiographs of the rear leg she holds up in the air and the veterinarian noted deformities/inflammation consistent with Panosteitis or "growing pains" commonly associated with the long bones in large breed dogs. She may hold up her leg from time to time, however she is regularly using the leg normally and is still a high energy happy girl! She is currently being monitored for kennel cough symptoms so meeting other dogs right now may have to wait until she is no longer showing symptoms. Generally these viral infections are self limiting and will clear on their own! We hope she finds her perfect forever home soon, she really deserves it.

Hi, my name is Marmalade. I am from Georgia.

A portion of my adoption fee has been sponsored by my friends at Tito's Handmade Vodka. The adoption fee sponsorship credit of $375.00 will be applied during the contract process. Hi, my name is Rocket! I'm am from Minnesota. Rocket is such a fun and loving girl. She is very energetic and LOVES games! Rocket enjoys playing with her toys and chasing balls in the backyard. She even made up a game of hide and seek and trained us how to play! She very playful and incredibly smart! A good nap on the couch or under your desk at your feet is also appreciated, because it can wear a puppy out playing so hard. It is one of the cutest things ever when she gets the zoomies; she is so fast! Rocket, is also good about entertaining herself and will settle down and work on a bone if it isn’t time for playing together. Rocket would be best in a home where she isn’t left alone for too long. She has never had any accidents in the house and isn’t destructive at all, but she definitely prefers to be in the company of others. Rocket, is on medication for her anxiety and is working hard with her trainer; she has come a long way since she first arrived at our house! She’ll need to continue with medication and her adoption includes some training sessions. We’ve seen a ton of improvement, but coordinated introductions with people continue to be necessary. A home with a fenced in yard and no shared walls are also necessary. A quieter street would be amazing for her. Going on walks, meeting other dogs, and dealing with loud noises are other things she can work on with you and her trainer. From her non-reaction to the rabbits and squirrels in our backyard it appears she doesn’t have a strong prey drive, but it is unknown how she would do with cats. For now, she would thrive being the only animal in the household. Everyone, even the “not dog people”, fall in love with Miss Rocket. If you can put in the time to help her feel safe and see how great life can be, you will be rewarded with her charming smile, her sweet snores, and a buddy who is always at your side. My adoption contract will include 3 training sessions and my adopters can choose foster to adopt where Rocket could live with an interested applicant for 1 month before moving forward with adoption.
