Weighing around 15 pounds and estimated to be about 3 and a half years old, Bitsy is soaking up the comfort of a calm, safe home—something she may be experiencing for the first time. She’s incredibly well-mannered and has had perfect potty habits from the start, always going outside when carried to the yard. While she’s still gaining confidence, Bitsy is already showing signs of trust, happily resting in her cozy bed and allowing gentle handling, even during bath time. She’s not quite sure what to make of toys or treats just yet, but every day she’s learning and observing. Bitsy gets along with calm, respectful dogs, though she would likely prefer a peaceful home where she can be the center of someone’s quiet world or share space with a gentle canine companion. She hasn’t had much experience with leashes or exploring new environments, so a fenced yard is a must while she continues to build confidence. What Bitsy lacks in boldness, she makes up for in sweetness. She’s a soft, soulful girl who is ready to bond with someone patient and loving. With a little time and a lot of love, Bitsy will absolutely bloom into the loyal, affectionate companion she was always meant to be. 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.

At 14 pounds and 13 inches tall, he’s the perfect size for lap cuddles—and once he trusts you, he’ll happily claim that spot! Rigel is low-to-moderate energy, low-shedding, and very big on love once he feels safe. Rigel is still learning that the world isn’t so scary. He’s shy and skittish at first, especially around men or anyone standing nearby. He’s most comfortable with women and prefers calm, quiet environments where he can build trust at his own pace. But if you’re patient, Rigel will reward you tenfold with affection, snuggles, and a sweet little paw to your hand asking for more love. He especially enjoys lounging in a cozy dog bed, following his person around the house, and curling up next to you in bed (he’s a pro with the dog ramp!). Rigel gets along beautifully with other respectful dogs and even cats. He’s starting to play with his foster siblings and would thrive in a home with another confident, friendly dog to show him the ropes. He’s not fully potty trained yet, and leash walks are still a work in progress, so a fenced yard is a must—especially since he’s nervous about doorways and can be a bit of a flight risk. He’s come a long way already, bravely running out to the yard on his own and returning like a champ. While crates aren’t his favorite (he’ll bark and need time to settle), Rigel has done very well with free roam of the house, showing no signs of destructive behavior. He’s a smart boy and will blossom with gentle guidance, consistent routines, and lots of love. Rigel isn’t the kind of dog who’ll greet you with wild enthusiasm on day one—but give him time, and you’ll discover a loyal little shadow who just wants to be close, feel safe, and love you deeply. If you have a calm home, a dog buddy, and a heart for helping shy dogs bloom, Rigel might just be your perfect match!

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.  Boston is a tiny five-pound gentleman who has perfected the art of quiet living, cozy lounging, and mysteriously appearing in the softest dog bed in the house. He’s still learning what this whole “living indoors with humans” thing is all about, so he approaches the world with gentle caution, as if everything might suddenly ask him to file a tax return. But every day he gets a little braver, and his foster family is cheering from the sidelines as he discovers that laps are warm, couches are safe, and belly-up invitations lead to snuggles, not doom. When he’s not curled up like a perfectly toasted croissant in a fluffy bed, Boston can usually be found playing with his small dog buddies. In fact, other dogs are his comfort crew, his emotional support squad, and his favorite teachers in everything from playtime etiquette to “how to steal the good nap spot.” Although he would love a home with another small dog in his forever home, so long as his humans are home most of the time, he is okay as an only pup.   Boston is an excellent car rider, a respectful crate napper, and a timid explorer who prefers to observe new people from a safe distance before deciding they might be acceptable treat dispensers. He’s potty trained, but he needs a fenced yard because leashes are still confusing, and he thinks the great outdoors is best enjoyed from a secure space where he can toddle around without any surprises. This little man has already come so far. In the evenings, he climbs onto the couch, sits with his foster people, and even offers a tiny invitation to be picked up. He may be shy, but he is overflowing with sweetness, curiosity, and quiet charm. Boston is truly a gentle soul who just needs someone patient enough to let him bloom at his own pace. Whoever adopts him is getting a hidden treasure with the softest heart and the most endearing little spirit.
