Cockapoo puppies and dogs in St Louis Park, Minnesota

Samuel is being potty trained and does pretty good but if you have a yard that will help him learn better. I live in an apartment which is not ideal for potty training. He is very playful and can be cuddly but he also needs consistancy to focus and follow commands especially not to bark at strangers. He has been to daycare and loves to play with other dogs. He is very food driven. He loves toys and attention. He is a typical puppy of almost 6 months. If you have the knowledge and patience for a puppy his age he will be a great family or person companion. He has lovely soft wavy hair but you will need to regularly brush with a brush designed for cockapoos or poodles. Please, only serious adopters! I do not have time to message back and forth unless you know this is the kind of dog you really want and are ready to bring into your forever home. I have had some people commit only to back out last minute. I need people who mean what they commit to. Thank you.

Meet Layla – Your Toy-Loving Snuggle Expert! 🐾❤️ Layla is a sweet, lovable girl who's mastered the perfect balance of playtime and naptime. She loves carrying around her toys, entertaining herself, and then happily curling up for one of her many well-earned naps. At bedtime, she's convinced the best place to sleep is snuggled up in bed with her people—and she'll snooze peacefully through the entire night. Like many dogs, Layla gets very excited when she spots wildlife or other animals on walks. Squirrels, turkeys, cats, and dogs are simply way too interesting, so she'll bark and pull on the leash in her enthusiasm. She'll do best with someone who can confidently redirect her attention and continue working on her leash skills. Layla also has a funny little habit of scratching at the couch or comforters when she's feeling playful or energetic. Luckily, she's easily redirected to one of her favorite toys, and she's more than happy to channel that energy into playtime instead. If you're looking for a sweet companion who loves toys, enjoys cozy cuddle sessions, and is always ready for a good night's sleep by your side, Layla may be your perfect match! This pet is currently undergoing treatment for heartworm disease. Activity must be restricted for several weeks during recovery. RSR will cover the full cost of treatment. RSR will provide heartworm preventatives until the retest is due. The adopter will be responsible for scheduling the retest and obtaining any follow-up prescriptions through their veterinarian.

Quiggley, a 5-year-old Cocker Spaniel with a gentle spirit, a curious nose, and a heart that’s deeply devoted to his people. This very happy boy is even happier now that he is free from ear pain after having TECA surgery on both ears. Although most of his hearing is gone, Quiggley remains alert and incredibly aware of his surroundings. Whether he is hearing certain sounds or sensing vibrations, he still responds when our resident dogs bark. We’ve been working with Quiggley using a vibration collar to teach him commands, and he is doing so well! He is a very smart, loving boy with so much potential. We are also using hand signals to communicate with him and to praise him, including when he does his business outside. Quiggley loves his people and is happiest when he is right by your side. No matter where you go, he wants to be near you—which is especially helpful when he can’t hear! His potty training is about 90% complete, although he does still have occasional accidents. With patience and consistency, we expect him to continue making progress. And then there’s his loyalty. Quiggley is devoted to his people and wants nothing more than to be your constant companion. His fur is incredibly soft, and his eyes sparkle when he looks at you. He has a way of making you feel like you are his whole world. Quiggley will need continued follow-up care for his itchy skin, but he is already receiving help from a fantastic dermatologist who has been working closely with us. Quiggley is smart, affectionate, loyal, and incredibly special. He may have lost most of his hearing, but that hasn’t diminished his ability to love or connect with his people. We all need a Quiggley. ❤️ 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.

Eugene is a charming 16-year-old Shih Tzu gentleman who has perfected the art of enjoying the good life. At this stage, he's not looking for wild adventures or long hikes—he's looking for a cozy home, a soft place to nap, a little sniff around the yard, and most importantly, someone to adore. Eugene is wonderfully affectionate and loves meeting people. He'll happily make his rounds, offering each person a polite sniff and accepting their pets, but his heart really belongs to his person. Once he's chosen you, expect a devoted little shadow who follows you from room to room and settles happily at your feet while you work, relax, or watch a movie. At 16, Eugene is understandably a low-key guy. A yard where he can wander and sniff is plenty of exercise, and while his days of long walks are behind him, his playful side is starting to peek out again. Every now and then he'll surprise you with a little senior zoomie—especially when dinner is approaching or his favorite person has just come home. Those moments of puppy spirit are pretty darn precious. Eugene has some joint pain and doesn't do stairs. If he encounters a staircase, he'll simply station himself at the bottom and bark to let you know that he'd appreciate a little assistance, please. He prefers gentle companions who understand that an old gentleman isn't interested in wrestling or being chased. Calm dogs or cats who can politely say hello and then go about their business would be much more his speed. He's also mostly deaf, so loud noises and sudden movements can occasionally startle him. When things get a little too hectic, he'll retreat to a quiet, safe spot until the excitement passes. Overall, though, Eugene is very much over the drama and has settled comfortably into his peaceful old-man lifestyle. Eugene is working on his house manners, but his aging bladder sometimes has other plans. He needs frequent opportunities to go outside and wears a belly band indoors as a backup. His foster reports that he has not had any poop accidents in the house. Eugene is a jolly little Shih Tzu who has earned every bit of comfort and kindness that comes with being a senior dog. He's ready for a calm household where he can spend his days surrounded by gentle people, modern comforts, and the person he loves most. ❤️🐾 ---- *This animal is a part of our “Seniors for Seniors” program where we offer senior adopters an opportunity to adopt an eligible pet at a discounted fee.* ---- Adopting a senior dog is like getting a vintage car – it comes with character, a few extra quirks, and might need a bit more maintenance. Expect occasional tune ups at the vet for oil changes (aka meds), and embrace the fact that those 'normal lumps and bumps' are just part of the well-earned charm package! Ruff Start will share all known health information with adopters and recommendations to keep your Senior dog in top shape.
