Meet Brownie 🤎 Brownie is a sweet recent mama who’s finished raising her puppies and is now ready to begin a brand-new chapter, one that’s all about her. She’s gentle, loving, and has a wonderful balance of independence and affection. Brownie enjoys exploring with the other pups around the barn, but she’s never far from her people for long. She’s also been wonderful with cats and other dogs, making her an easy addition to a multi-pet home. When adventure time is over, Brownie is all about the snuggles. She loves being held and cuddling on the couch, soaking up every bit of affection she can get. With her calm, sweet nature, she would be a great fit for a family with kids. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate dog who’s ready to leave mom-life behind and settle into a loving home, Brownie could be the perfect match. 🐾💛 All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.

Cinnamon is a sweet, gentle girl who’s ready to close the chapter on motherhood and finally start a life of her own. She’s been an amazing mom, and now it’s her turn to be loved and spoiled. Cinnamon does very well in her kennel and is always excited to head outside with the others for potty time. She doesn’t run off, comes when called, and is overall a really great, easygoing pup. She gets along well with other dogs, cats, and gentle, respectful kids, making her a wonderful fit for many types of homes. Because she’s still decompressing from everything she’s been through, Cinnamon can startle easily and will need a calm, patient home that gives her space and time to settle in. She’s not quite a cuddle-on-the-couch kind of girl yet, being held or sitting close is something she tolerates more than seeks out (for now 😆). With consistency, kindness, and time, her confidence will continue to grow. If you’re looking for a loving, well-mannered dog who just needs a soft place to land and the chance to blossom at her own pace, Cinnamon might be your perfect match. 💕 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 Barbie and I'm from Minnesota. From her foster: Meet our special girl Barbie a cuddle enthusiast and car ride champ who is a bit of an adventurer. (flight risk and fence jumper) She is house trained and is a great eater and whilst she loves other dogs she will throw in a little bark just to keep things in check if play gets rowdy. She would do well in an apartment she is quiet and low key but must have a female household where there is limited activity. Barbie also known as Crumbles needs to be in a women only household she is afraid of men and was returned from a previous adoption because she was scared of men living there. Walks well on a leash will make a great companion easy to manage best kept on a leash outside and double leashed especially in the first weeks whilst she is learning to trust you.

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.  I know you want to meet me! Come to the Underdog Headquarters (3345 Dakota Ave, St. Louis Park, 55416) on Sunday, January 25th from 12:00-1:00 pm. Please email inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com for questions regarding the dogs. Wally is a ten&#226&#128&#145pound swirl of Chihuahua, Dachshund, Spaniel, and pure enthusiasm. He greets new people with a cautious sniff, a tiny “I’m watching you” bark, and then immediately decides you’re his new best friend and must witness his impressive toy collection. His favorite is a plush avocado that he proudly sprints down the hall and brings back like he’s training for the Produce Olympics. On the couch, Wally transforms into a pretzel. He will twist, flop, stretch, and fold himself into whatever shape is required to maximize snuggle contact. Then, just as suddenly, he’ll decide he needs “me time” and relocate to the opposite end of the couch like a dramatic Victorian poet. Wally loves other dogs, loves to play, and absolutely insists on having a canine buddy in his forever home. He’s moderately active, moderately mischievous, and extremely committed to his side hobby of hunting rabbit droppings on walks. He’s convinced they’re gourmet snacks, and his foster is convinced he’s wrong. He’s still learning leash manners and requires a specific harness, mostly because he likes to zig&#226&#128&#145zag like a tiny parade float. He barks at people and dogs on walks to prove he’s a tough guy, but the moment he gets close, he just wants to play. Classic Wally. He’s crate trained (with some initial protest singing), potty trained, knows several commands, and sleeps sweetly at the end of the bed like a polite little gentleman. His left ear droops, earning him the nickname Lefty, and he loves cuddling up with his foster’s border collie like they’re starring in a buddy&#226&#128&#145cop movie. Wally is goofy, affectionate, toy&#226&#128&#145obsessed, and endlessly entertaining. If you’re looking for a small dog with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Wally is ready to pretzel himself into your 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. 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.
