Cocker Spaniel puppies and dogs in Golden Valley, Minnesota

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.    Lady is an 18&#226&#128&#145pound Cocker Spaniel sweetheart who believes her true calling in life is to be your personal shadow, couch companion, and professional snuggle consultant. She’s friendly and outgoing at home, and while she may start off a little cautious in new places, she warms up quickly—especially if treats are involved. She is extremely food motivated and will happily demonstrate her “sit,” “come,” “shake,” and “outside” skills in exchange for snacks. She’s partially blind in her right eye, which gives her a bit of mysterious pirate&#226&#128&#145princess energy, and may explain why she’s not a fan of chaotic environments or overly enthusiastic dogs. Big, bouncy dogs? Hard pass. Bossy little female dogs? Also no thank you. Calm senior pups? Absolutely—she’ll happily share space with the chill crowd. Lady came to us with 30% vision in her right eye due to juvenile cataracts because of this she will be more prone to glaucoma in that eye and will need annual eye check ups. Lady loves small squeaky toys, stuffies, and anything that makes noise when she pounces on it. She’s slightly active with a moderate energy level, meaning she’s always up for a walk, a car ride, or running errands, but she’s equally thrilled to curl up next to you and soak up all the affection you’re willing to give. She’s a world&#226&#128&#145class snuggler and will happily join you on the couch or in a chair, molding herself into whatever shape is required for maximum coziness. She’s potty trained, walks nicely on a leash, and prefers a fenced yard because she’s not consistent about going potty on leash. She can be a bit barky in the crate at first, but she settles with time. She’s good with cats, good with adults, and likely best with older or considerate kids who understand her gentle, slightly nervous nature. Lady is a happy, goofy, affectionate little love bug who just wants to be with her people. She’ll make you smile with her antics, warm your lap with her snuggles, and brighten your days with her sweet, soulful presence. 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.

Age:1 Year Old Weight: 27 pounds Dog friendly: Yes Cat friendly: Yes Kid friendly: Unknown Potty trained: 90%-needs prompting occasionally Crate trained: Yes Sweet and Shy Tavis is Looking for His Forever Home! Tavis is a gentle, affectionate boy who loves his people and does well with other dogs and even cats. He enjoys exploring alongside a canine companion but can be hesitant on his own. Sensitive and thoughtful, Tavis thrives in calm, predictable environments. While not aggressive, busy or chaotic settings can feel overwhelming for him. Once he feels safe, his loyal and loving personality shines. Tavis has done well with resident and foster dogs when introductions are slow and structured. He can be an only dog in the right home; however, without a canine companion, he will need a home where he is not left alone for a full workday. He does best with routine, reassurance, and regular human presence. Because of his sensitivity, Tavis is not a good candidate for dog parks or unstructured group play. He prefers calm, controlled interactions and thoughtful introductions. A fenced yard is strongly preferred, and apartment living or very busy households may be challenging for him. Tavis is most comfortable in quieter environments where he can relax and feel secure. Tavis is seeking a patient, understanding home that will allow him to settle in at his own pace. In the right environment, he will be a loyal and deeply rewarding companion. *Tavis Eligible for a Trial Contract! Adoption Fee: $595

Age: 7 years old Weight: 40 lbs. Dog friendly: Yes Cat friendly: unknown but likely fine Kid friendly: calmer & older kids ok Potty trained: yes Crate trained: no Patch is a sweet senior Cocker Spaniel who may have had a rough start in life, but he’s more than ready to spend his golden years exactly where he belongs — cuddled up on a cozy couch next to his favorite person. This handsome boy loves a good routine. His ideal morning? A quick potty break in the yard followed by a short walk to sniff the world and maybe chase a few leaves (one of his favorite hobbies!). Patch is living in a home for the very first time, and he’s doing an amazing job learning the ropes. He hasn’t had accidents and thrives on a consistent schedule. He’s still figuring out how to tell his people when he needs to go out, but with structure, he does great. Patch absolutely loves toys and enrichment activities — they make his little heart so happy! Because of that, he can be a bit protective of his treasures. He would do best in a home with older children or adults who understand how to respect his toys and personal space. Patch is a sensitive, anxious soul who bonds deeply with his people. He would thrive in a home with another calm dog companion or with someone who is home most of the time and can offer him the companionship he craves. He can be left alone for short periods, and with patience, he may be able to build up to longer stretches over time. This snuggle bug loves bedtime as much as playtime — he sleeps with his foster in bed, or sometimes in his dog bed right next to the human bed if he gets warm. He is not crate trained and shows signs of past trauma or strong discomfort with crates. One is always available for him if needed, but he prefers to sleep and relax freely. When he’s excited, Patch wiggles his whole butt and does the cutest little happy dance just for you. He loves pets, attention, and being close — truly happiest right next to his person on the couch. Patch is curious about car rides and new adventures. He’s still a little nervous in the car but is excited about the idea of exploring new places with someone he trusts. Adoption fee: $595

Age: Estimated DOB 5/8/25 Weight: 25 lbs Dog friendly: Yes Cat friendly: Unknown/not tested Kid friendly: Yes Potty trained: Yes Crate trained: Yes Hi, my name is Elroy! I’m an energizer puppy who goes and goes and goes! When I finally slow down, I love curling up in a cozy, safe spot—especially the corner behind my foster’s chair. I’m still learning how to be a puppy, so I sometimes need reminders about what is okay to nibble and what’s not. I absolutely love the snow, and I’m very smart too—I’ve already learned how to ring a bell when I need to go outside! Adoption Fee: $695

Age: DOB 9/27/2025 Weight: 14.2 lbs. Dog friendly: yes Cat friendly: unknown Kid friendly: yes Potty trained: still working on it Crate trained: no   Meet Apollo, the adorably fluffy and floppy cocker spaniel puppy!  Apollo is a breeder release puppy about 4m old. He came to us with cherry eye and now he’s all fixed up.  This sweet guy had a pretty severe case of cherry eye so he does have a bit more droopy eyes, don’t worry it’s just cosmetic and doesn’t affect his vision.  Apollo is a sweet curious boy who thrives with gentle guidance and positive reinforcement. When it’s time to play Apollo loves to jump in and flop around, he loves a good sploot while laying down and I can assure you it is adorable.  Apollo isn’t as confident as some puppies so a good socialization class or dog friendly neighborhood would do wonders for him. To keep up with his potty training, Apollo would do best a fenced in yard, unless he has a dedicated adopter willing to help him gain more confidence on a leash.  He lives with another unrelated cocker spaniel puppy, an adult dog and 2 kids which he loves to snuggle up with. Apollo has been amazing during grooming and will often fall asleep during bath time.  Apollo is still a work in progress as all puppies are but if you give him a chance this sweet pup promises to give you all his love. Adoption Fee: $795

About Me Hi! I’m Angel, and they tell me I’m the ultimate "velcro dog" because I never want to leave your side. I’m looking for my forever person—the one whose shadow I can be all day and whose pillow I can share all night. I’m a total people-person! I’ll come right up to say hi to anyone I meet, and I’m a professional at asking for pets and lap time. I’m already potty trained and a dream on a leash, so our morning walks will be the best part of our day—right after breakfast, of course (I really love to eat!). When we’re home, I’m happy just being near you, whether we’re playing with squeaky toys or playing fetch. A few things to know about me: I’m your shadow: I get a little sad and anxious when my person leaves. I might pace or bark at the window because I just want you back! I’d love a home where someone is around most of the time to keep me company. Slow & steady with pup friends: I’m a bit shy and uncertain around new dogs at first. I might bark to say "give me space," but if we take intros slow over a few days, I adjust nicely and can be part of the pack. I also do great meeting dogs and people on our walks! My crate rule: I’m not a fan of the crate unless the door is left wide open. I’d much rather be on a dog bed near you—or better yet, right in the big bed with you! I came from a scary impound situation where I was very stressed, so I’m still figuring out that I’m safe. I figure things out quickly and adapt well; I just need a little time and a lot of love to feel secure. I promise to be your most loyal best friend if you’ll be my world.

Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.    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.

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.  Want to meet me? Come to Underdog Headquarters (3345 Dakota Ave, St. Louis Park, 55416) on Saturday, April 11th from 10:30 am - 12:00 pm. Please email inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com for questions regarding the dogs. Wren is a gentle and deeply devoted Cavachon with a tender heart and a quiet, sensitive nature. She forms an incredibly strong bond with her person—so strong that calling her a “velcro dog” hardly does her justice. Wren prefers to stay close to the one she trusts, following them from room to room and seeking comfort simply by being near. For the right person, she will be the ultimate loyal companion. She would do best in a home where someone is around most of the time and is happy to include her in daily life. Although Wren is very sweet, she is also timid due to limited exposure to new experiences. Sudden movements, loud noises, or busy environments can make her nervous, and she may retreat to observe from a safe space until she feels comfortable again. Her response to stress is calm rather than chaotic—she prefers to quietly watch from her kennel or a cozy spot nearby. This sweet girl would thrive as the only dog in the home. She prefers not to share her person and can become protective when other dogs approach. In a calm, single-dog household, she will feel far more relaxed and secure. Wren is still learning about many everyday things. She is new to leash walking and currently freezes when the leash is introduced, so patient training will help her build confidence. She also hasn’t yet learned to manage stairs or jump on and off furniture, so her adopter should be comfortable helping her by lifting her when needed. While she isn’t interested in toys, Wren does enjoy chewing on treats like bones, pig ears, or bully sticks. She can also be a bit of a picky eater and prefers fresh or freeze-dried foods rather than dry kibble. Her forever family will need to be prepared for the extra cost of fresh food. Wren currently uses potty pads reliably and is expected to transition to outdoor potty training with time, patience, and encouragement. Because she can be nervous outdoors, a fenced yard may help her feel safer as she learns about the world around her. At her core, Wren is a calm, affectionate, and incredibly loyal little dog who simply wants to love and be loved by her person. In a quiet home with an understanding adopter who can offer patience, reassurance, and lots of closeness, Wren will blossom into a devoted companion whose bond with her human is truly special.
