Collie puppies and dogs in Edina, 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.  Keep checking back for upcoming events I will be attending!         Snow’s story begins in a way no dog’s ever should. She was rescued in Arkansas as part of an animal cruelty case, and what she endured is something we’ll never fully understand. But what matters most about Snow isn’t where she started—it’s who she is now. And who she is now? An absolute angel. Snow is one of those dogs who just… wants to love and be loved. She’s gentle, sweet, and so eager to make her people happy. Despite everything she’s been through, she meets the world with trust, kindness, and the softest little soul. She does great with kids, gets along well with other dogs, and while she hasn’t officially met any cats yet, her easygoing nature suggests she might be just fine. She’d love a doggy friend, but she’d also be perfectly content being your one and only—as long as she’s getting all the love she deserves. Snow is potty trained when kept on a schedule (about every 4 hours works great), and she thrives on routine. She’s still building confidence on a leash, so a fenced yard is important for her while she continues learning. And yes—Snow has just one eye. But around here, we think that just adds to her charm and her story. She doesn’t let it slow her down one bit, and honestly? She’s already twice the dog—strong, resilient, and full of love. Snow isn’t defined by what happened to her. She’s defined by how she shows up now: brave, forgiving, and ready to be someone’s whole world. If you’re looking for a best friend who will love you deeply, quietly, and completely… Snow is your girl   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.

Monty is a great name for a great dog like me ;) I have the Monty Python kind of humor... goofy and sweet! But, don't mess with my crate! That really is my only "pet: peeve!! I was found on the streets 2 years ago and was adopted as a pup... however, I became the boss in the house and didn't like anyone entering the house that I didn't know :( SO..... Back to the rescue, because they won't give up on me!! So here I am and I have really adjusted to the environment and new people meeting me and treats and lots of love. AND the crew here basically has determined that I need a family/adopters that will be in charge of the house. Someone I can trust to protect me so I don't have to!! I am vocal in my crate, so my crate needs to be away from the common areas so I can relax and not meet everyone that stops by. Once I settle into my new home I will follow your lead! I am a gorgeous boy, with caramel and milk chocolate highlights in my soft fur. I want to please my family and go on all kinds of adventures! I am awesome out and about, meeting new people and new friends :D I hope you will look into my eyes, the windows to my soul, and see the HOPE I have to find my own home again! The rescue is great because I got a second chance, but I REALLY want a home!! Local adoption only $200 (in TX)

Hi! My name is Clary, and I am from Texas! Spunky, energetic, and full of love, Clary is looking for an active home where she can run, play, go on walks, and be part of everyday family life. She’s really enjoying learning to walk on a leash and exploring new places beyond the yard. Like most puppies, she gets excited, especially when she sees squirrels or rabbits. She’s settling nicely into a routine, doing well in her crate at night and for a few hours during the day when needed (tried max 4 hours so far). Clary is also making great progress with potty training, with only a few accidents in the past couple of weeks. She plays well with her sister and other dogs. She’ll make an amazing addition to a loving and active home!

A portion of my adoption fee has been sponsored by The Wilbur Fund. The adoption fee sponsorship credit of $250.00 will be applied during the contract process. Hi, my name is Ringo, and I am from Tennessee! Ringo is a special dog. He’s a male Australian Cattle Dog/Red Speckled Heeler, and true to his breed. Instead of trying to move cattle along, another dog will do! In play he will nip at my dog’s heels, which inspires her to more play and soon both dogs are rolling around, then up and racing around the obstacle course in my back yard! Ringo plays hard, but gently. He loves to jump up after squirrels and birds in the trees and bushes, so he’ll need a 5 foot or higher fence. Then with a single call “come” he responds and comes on command. He’s smart, easy to please, and will look to his person for assurance, for he experiences separation anxiety. He has progressed so much, but he will need a person with patience and is willing to help him feel less anxious. Also, a resident dog about his size (30-40 lbs) will help him become less dependent on his person. Ringo is very well behaved in the house and on walks. With training he’s learning to not react to other dogs and their people. He is very gentle with my cat and has warmed up to my 11 year old granddaughter. On a short leash he has not reacted nervously to small children. He will bark loudly at certain outside noises or when in the car and people walk by but is learning to stop barking when commanded to stop. Each day he seems to relax more as he experiences new activities and sights. He enjoys his walks and won’t wander far from your side, often checking to see you following. Training assistance has been very beneficial to Ringo. At this time a woman would be the best fit for Ringo, with slow introductions to men/boys he does not know. He definitely has a gentleness about him, and would love a forever home.

Hi, I’m Khalie — Professional Hug Dealer and Recovering Introvert Hi there! I’m Khalie, and I’d like to start by clearing up a common misunderstanding. Some people think I’m shy. That’s only true for approximately the first 37 seconds after we meet (and with loud noises and quick movements)! At first, I might duck my head when you reach out to pet me, as if I’m a delicate woodland creature who has never encountered human affection before. Then suddenly I’ll remember that I LOVE human affection and immediately start handing out hugs, climbing into your lap, and demanding additional pets like it’s my full-time job. My favorite hobby is hugging people. Not sitting next to them. Not politely leaning on them. Actual hugs. I take my job very seriously. I have what I would call “moderate athlete” energy. I’d love a nice walk in the morning, another in the afternoon, and plenty of time to explore a yard. Toys, however, are largely beneath me. I do have exactly ONE toy that I like, and I carry it back to my crate every chance I get. Why do I love that toy and ignore all others? That’s between me and the toy. When I want attention, I gently nudge your hand for pets. When that doesn’t work, I upgrade to hugs. It’s a highly effective system. New people are pretty great. I may be a little cautious at first, but once you offer a few pets, I’ll quickly decide we’re best friends and begin my hugging campaign. I feel safest around calm, gentle people who move slowly and speak softly. Once we’ve built a bond, though, you can excitedly yell my name and I’ll come zooming toward you like I just won the lottery. My idea of playtime is refreshingly simple: a nice walk or relaxing with a bully stick in my crate. I don’t need elaborate entertainment. I’m a minimalist. One thing that makes my foster family laugh? Occasionally I still believe stairs are meant to be launched from rather than walked down. Why take the boring route when you can add a little drama? I’ve been working very hard on my house-training skills. In my previous home, I learned some habits that weren’t exactly ideal, but I’m catching on quickly and making great progress. I sleep quietly in my crate all night, do wonderfully when kenneled, and I’m learning commands like sit and stay. Basically, I’m trying very hard to earn my “best girl” diploma. I do have one small quirk: I prefer to enjoy my meals and treats without other dogs crowding my personal dining space. When food is involved, I appreciate having my own area, so I happily eat and enjoy treats in my crate. I’ve never had an issue with people handling my food—this is strictly a “please respect my bubble, fellow dogs” situation. If I could tell my future family one thing, it’s this: once I trust you, you’ll never wonder whether you’re loved. I’ll make sure of that. Between the hugs, the snuggles, the hand nudges, and the happy zoomies when I hear your voice, you’ll know exactly how much I adore you. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some hugs to distribute.

Meet Pancake, a playful and affectionate collie-beagle mix all the way from Texas! At around 1 year old, this fun-loving girl is full of personality, curiosity, and youthful energy. She’s always ready for her next adventure and would thrive in an active home that enjoys hiking, camping, exploring, or simply spending lots of time outdoors. Pancake absolutely loves being outside—running, sniffing, exploring, and watching the world go by from the front steps are some of her favorite things. She’s a silly, happy girl who brings enthusiasm to everything she does and would make a wonderful companion for an active family or someone looking for an adventure buddy. She’s settling nicely into home life, sleeps quietly in her kennel overnight, and is learning the routines of being a well-loved family dog. Like many young adults, Pancake still has plenty of energy and will benefit from continued training, structure, and patience as she works on her manners. Right now, her excitement can come out in enthusiastic jumping, but she’s smart, eager to learn, and responds well to guidance. Pancake is affectionate, loyal, and loves being part of the action. Her ideal forever family will embrace her playful spirit while helping her continue to build confidence and skills as she grows. If you’re looking for a sweet, energetic dog who’s ready to love big and live life to the fullest, Pancake is ready to pack her bags and move in!

He has the perfect combination of sweet and playful—calm and gentle around the house, but always ready for fun when it's time to play. Sven is the kind of dog who wins hearts wherever he goes. He's incredibly gentle, wonderful with kids, and has a loving personality that makes him an easy companion. He gets along well with cats too, although he may occasionally try to convince them to play like they're fellow dogs! His favorite toy is his yellow ducky pull toy, and if you're looking for the quickest way to become his best friend, give him scratches on his lower tummy or thighs. He'll happily melt into a puddle of appreciation. Sven came from a farm, and while he doesn't necessarily need acreage, he would thrive in a home with people to shower him with attention and affection. More than anything, Sven wants to be part of the family and included in all of life's adventures. If you're looking for an amazing, gentle, goofy best friend who is equal parts cuddle bug and playmate, Sven may be the perfect match for you.
