Meet Naomi. She is a quiet, calm, affectionate girl who was dealt a rough hand in Texas, where she entered the rescue system and she is now on her way to Minnesota and is looking for a fresh start! Naomi can be a little shy when she first meets someone, but once she feels safe, she warms up and lets her sweet personality shine. Having another friendly, confident dog around seems to help her feel braver as she learns that the world can be a safe and happy place. And there’s one thing Naomi absolutely LOVES: mealtime! She believes deep down to her soul that dinner should never be late! Naomi deserves a soft bed, kind people, gentle encouragement, and a family willing to give her the time she needs to come out of her shell. She may start off quietly watching from the sidelines, but with patience and love, she will learn to trust, grow in confidence, and enjoy all the wonderful things life has to offer. Naomi is a resilient girl. She just needs someone willing to show her that her best days are still ahead. Naomi is from Texas.

Welcome Layla to CCPAL Rescue. Layla is a 1-year old dog. She recently had puppies and we have the litter. She is a Chihuahua/Dachshund is our best guess. She weighs about 25 pounds. She is sturdy and will make a good walking companion for some lucky family. She would be great for a senior wanting an easier dog to bring in their home or some younger family or couple. She is a very good mother to her puppies. She does shed but it isn’t over the top and I would call her a moderate shedding dog. She is mild mannered and friendly to strangers and people she doesn’t know. She would be a fine dog with a family that has children. We like all children to be 8 or older. She is in Texas and can be adopted locally. She can also ride with one of the transporters to get her to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is $400 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. Online applications at www.ccpalrescue.org See her cute video

Jasper is a sweet, sweet boy who's looking for a patient family to help him settle into his forever home. He can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once he feels safe and comfortable, his affectionate, social personality shows through. Jasper loves spending time outdoors, especially playing with other dogs. If you have a friendly resident dog, he'd likely be thrilled to have a playmate! He's adventurous, intelligent, and ready to explore, but he's just as happy curling up for some snuggles. He's already house-trained and crate-trained, rides well in the car, and has a great personality. Jasper would benefit from a few refreshers on leash walking and basic training, but he's eager to learn and will thrive with patience and positive reinforcement. Because he's a bit timid at first, a home with no children, or older children (or younger children who understand and respect his boundaries) would be the best fit. Give Jasper a little time to adjust, and Jasper will reward your patience with love and companionship. Jasper is from Texas.

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.  Meet Tater Tot! Tiny Tater Tot is looking for his forever home!  This adorable puppy has the sweetest, most loving heart and is ready to fill your life with cuddles, laughter, and plenty of puppy antics! Tater Tot loves all toys, snuggling with his foster family, and meeting new people. He truly loves everyone he meets! He’s currently working on his leash training, and his foster family feels he’ll do just fine going out on a leash for potty breaks and exercise. This goofy little boy will keep you laughing all day long as he zooms around, plays, explores, and does all the silly things puppies do. Tater Tot would love a forever family who is home often during the day so he can get the attention, companionship, and love that he needs. He’s also great with dog-friendly dogs! â¤ï¸ If you’re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate little companion to make your days brighter, Tater Tot just might be your perfect match! 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. 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.  T his puppy requires an application fee. This fee must be paid within 24 hours or your application will be considered void.  We will not review or contact applicants that have not completed the payment portion.   Puppy Applications will be responded to within 5 business days, after receipt of the application fee.  Please understand that paying the fee does not guarantee you will be approved to adopt the puppy. Our goal is place puppies in homes that are suited for their individual needs. You may be willing and able to provide a great home, but if it doesn’t meet the specific needs of the puppy, we will not approve your application. We accept applications for puppies until we have a candidate that meets all of the requirements needed for the specific puppy and they have been contacted to review the adoption process as well as agree to all of the terms to move forward. ***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.
