Cockapoo puppies and dogs in North Branch, Minnesota

Meet Pebble, a sweet and gentle soul ready to find his patient forever family! This unique dog, with his striking half-blue and half-gold eyes, is slower to come out of his shell, but his loving personality shines through for those willing to give him time. Pebble is diligently learning the ropes of home life. He's mostly potty-trained, going out regularly and only having one accident so far (aside from a bit of marking that improved with neutering). He's a morning dog, up by 6 AM for an outside adventure, and he sometimes needs a nighttime break too. While he's learning boundaries, he currently needs a bit of monitoring around the trash, but he’s been excellent about not chewing on inappropriate items. Pebble truly wants to please and is trying his hardest to understand his new world. When you talk to him, you'll be charmed by his adorable, slightly crooked smile – a glimpse into his forming confidence. He may be cautious around thresholds at first, but once settled, he enjoys gentle affection. While he's content to lay near you, he'll happily accept pets if you invite him onto the couch. He’s learning the joy of play and has a wonderful bouncy energy, often seen zooming around with his canine friends. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will blossom with patience and love, Pebble is eager to show you his full, charming self.

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.  Do you want to meet me? I will be at Chuck and Don's in Eden Prairie, 8022 Den Rd, Eden Prairie, MN 55344 for an Adoption Event on Saturday, April 4th from 12:00 - 2:00 pm. Please email inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com for questions regarding the dogs. Bella is a loving and affectionate Cockapoo with a heart full of devotion for her person. This sweet girl forms a strong bond with the people she trusts and will gaze at them with pure adoration, often sneaking in gentle kisses whenever she gets the chance. Bella’s favorite place to be is right next to her human—especially if that means curling up on the couch or snuggling under the covers at bedtime. Belly rubs are truly her idea of heaven! At home, Bella is calm, gentle, and incredibly loyal. She enjoys relaxing close to her person and prefers a peaceful environment where she can feel safe and comfortable. While she hasn’t shown much interest in toys, she is very curious about whatever her people might be eating and will happily keep you company during snack time. Bella is house trained and does a great job letting you know when she needs to go outside by standing at the door. Occasionally, she may have a small accident if she becomes overly excited or nervous, but with calm greetings and routine potty breaks, this has been easily managed. When meeting new people, Bella may give a couple of barks at first while she checks them out, but once she feels comfortable she warms up nicely. She does best in a quieter home, as a lot of noise or activity can make her nervous. Bella can be a bit vocal and takes her role as neighborhood watchdog seriously, often barking to announce when someone walks by her yard. Bella enjoys spending time outside exploring and would love a home with a fenced yard where she can roam, sniff, and chase the occasional squirrel. She walks on a leash but can pull a bit and prefers using the yard for potty breaks rather than going on leash. This sweet girl would do best in a cat-free home, as cats make her very nervous and she may react strongly to them. She appears friendly toward other dogs during brief interactions, though it’s unclear how she would do with constant canine companionship. Bella would likely thrive in a calm home with older or considerate children who understand her gentle nature. Overall, Bella is a devoted, gentle, and cuddly companion who simply wants to be close to the person she loves. In a peaceful home with plenty of affection, cozy blankets, and belly rubs, Bella will return that love tenfold and become a wonderfully loyal best friend. 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.
