Chihuahua puppies and dogs in Minnetrista, Minnesota

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.

Hi, my name is Alvin and I am from Arkansas! From his foster: Alvin is a very sweet yet nervous boy. He is still learning to trust new people. Once you earn his trust, Alvin is happy to lay beside you or play a game of fetch or tug of war with his plushies. He now loves his walks, and gets really excited about squirrels and rabbits. He's a little shadow that likes to be near his person. Now that he's gotten comfortable, Alvin has become more energetic and playful, and loves his plushies. Alvin is doing great with housetraining in his usual routine, though needs some time to adjust when in a new environment.

Hi, my name is Knight, and I am from Missouri! From his foster: Knight is a sweet boy! He keeps his crate clean and is an expert at going outside- despite just learning about snow. He is a little shy at first, but good-natured. He likes running, toys, and my 12lb resident dog. He is friendly, if cautious, with new people and curious about cats. He is getting the hang of leash walking, rides well in the car, and likes to snuggle. He dislikes being in his crate and will be vocal while he settles down. After that he sleeps thru the night! He would like to go to a home that understands he is young and still learning- where he can get lots of exercise and attention.

She is a playful pup who is confident with other dogs and a little shy around new people. Once she gets to know you, she is a cuddlesome bundle! Brisa loves the dog park & playing with her foster house mates-an older rat terrier and an American cat. She is a quick learner and redirects easily when she is caught chewing on a slipper or blanket. She is potty trained on a schedule & crate trained (may need a few minutes to settle down). When she gets home from playing, a nap is definitely in order! She would be a great cuddly companion and addition to your home! Adoption Fee: $525

I am very loving and doing pretty good on potty training. I love to sleep with my foster mom and snuggle up close to her. When my mom leaves I go in my kennel and I am very good in my kennel. She works and is gone for a work day and I am good in my kennel. My mom says I am perfect in so many ways! I absolutely LOVE toys and play with about ten to fifteen at a time :). My mom puts them away and I get them back out it is a fun game for me! My mom says the only thing I need to work on is my barking. I am only trying to tell her someone is outside but she says I don’t need to so much :). I also bark when I go potty if there is someone be outside but I can get better I am sure! I do not bark when I am in my kennel. I would love to meet you and be your forever love! Adoption fee:$525

She’s equal parts sweetheart and sass, a young dog who thrives on love, patience, and plenty of playtime. While she can be cautious with new people and may announce her feelings with barks or growls, Daphne’s true magic shines once trust is built—then she transforms into a loyal, goofy best friend. Her favorite activities include sprinting around the yard like a tiny rocket, chasing squirrels with Olympic-level determination, burrowing under blankets for cozy naps, and testing out tough chew toys. She’s potty trained, kennel trained, and knows a few commands, though she prefers to keep life interesting with her own quirky flair. Daphne is searching for an active, adult-only home where she can be the star of the show. She would love an owner who enjoys walks, hikes, or runs and who can give her the attention she craves. A fenced yard is a must for this energetic girl, and while she can live with another dog, she’s just as happy being the solo star as long as she gets plenty of love. With patience and consistency, Daphne will reward her person with endless affection, laughter, and loyalty. She’s ready to shine in the right home—one that understands her quirks and celebrates her playful spirit. **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 to 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.
