Story
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.

Or, how about these Collies in cities near Princeton, Minnesota

Meet Dai Mar – The Gentle Gentleman with a Playful Spark! Age: 12 years (13 in August) | Breed: Australian Shepherd/Cattle Dog Mix Weight:    66 lbs | Adoption Fee: $375 | Neutered: Yes Don’t let his age fool you— Dai Mar may be a senior in years, but he still has the heart (and play drive!) of a much younger pup. This sweet, easygoing guy loves squeaky toys, a good game of tug-of-war, and—most of all—being near his people. He’s the kind of companion who’ll be by your side through thick and thin, offering loyalty, love, and the occasional goofy grin. Dai Mar is friendly with everyone he meets, including other dogs, cats, and respectful kiddos. He’s potty trained with a regular routine but does have an occasional accident, hasn’t needed to be crated, preferring to spend his time near the people he loves. While he's mostly agile, he occasionally needs a little help going up and down steps—but he’s still active and enjoys moving around. He is a vocal guy when it comes to unexpected noises, so a quiet, calm home would suit him best. If you’re looking for a gentle, devoted friend with a golden heart and a playful streak, Dai Mar might be the perfect match for you. He’s ready to bring joy, love, and companionship into a home that will treasure him as much as he’ll treasure you. Ready to meet Dai Mar? Apply today and give this sweet senior the cozy, love-filled home he deserves. A s a rescue, we provide the care, procedures and testing that is available to us. Adopters will be responsible for continued preventatives, follow-up appointments, and medications (if applicable). At times, adopters will be responsible for procedures not completed in rescue (dentals, bloodwork, etc.)  Your new dog will receive their rabies and distemper vaccine.  $50 discount for seniors (65+) and veterans. Adoption fees help pay for the dog's veterinary exam, vaccinations (rabies and distemper) HW test and spay/neuter if needed and additional health needs specific to each animal.   Grey Face Rescue does not adopt outside of Minnesota for now. We apologize for the inconvenience.  We do not adopt animals to families whose current pets are not up-to-date on vaccinations or not altered. Exceptions may be made for medical reasons as stated by a veterinarian and we will require proof of that recommendation. Thank you for understanding our mission to reduce overpopulation.  Once you submit your application, our adoption manager will be in touch, so please check your spam folder if you do not see something from us within 7-10 days.  Thank you again for your interest in a Grey Face senior. We appreciate your support!     October 11, 2025, 9:59 pm

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.      Nashville is a bright, confident puppy with a big personality and an even bigger heart! This zany little guy approaches life with enthusiasm and curiosity, always ready for his next adventure. Whether he’s zooming around the yard, playing with his favorite toys, or making new friends, Nashville brings fun wherever he goes. Nashville loves people of all ages, including children, and is incredibly affectionate. Give him about two minutes to introduce himself, and he’ll be ready to shower you with cuddles and puppy kisses. He thrives on attention and loves being part of whatever his family is doing. This intelligent pup is doing wonderfully with leash training and enjoys exploring the world on walks. One of his cutest habits is stopping mid-walk just to sit and take in the sights around him. He loves observing everything happening in his surroundings before continuing on his way. Nashville is also learning to fetch and enjoys running and playing in the yard. Playful, goofy, smart, and eager to engage with his people, Nashville has all the makings of an amazing companion. He rides well in the car and would love a family that is ready for the fun, laughter, and occasional puppy antics that come with raising an active young dog. If you’re looking for a sweet, energetic sidekick who will keep you smiling and then happily curl up for snuggles, Nashville may be the perfect addition to your family! 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. 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.

Story
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.       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.

Story
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.

These pups are in Princeton, Minnesota too!

Story
🐾 Meet Flynn! 🐾 Flynn is a 2-year-old Border Collie/Lab mix looking for a foster home where he can settle in and enjoy the stability he deserves. He is friendly with adults, older children, other dogs, and cats, making him an easy addition to many households. Flynn has a calm, affectionate personality and enjoys spending time near his people. He is social and attentive without being overly demanding or clingy. As a young adult dog, he has a wonderful balance of energy and maturity. Flynn responds well to gentle guidance and thrives when he has structure and consistency. He would benefit from a foster home that can help him continue learning basic manners and establish a daily routine. Because he is still adjusting to new surroundings, he should be supervised during outdoor time while he settles in. Flynn is a sweet, steady companion with no known history of aggression and a lot of love to give. All he needs now is a safe place to land and a foster willing to help him take the next step toward a bright future.

Viktor is a 7-month-old Border Collie/Lab mix weighing about 35 pounds who is looking for a foster home where he can continue to grow and gain confidence. He is friendly with adults, older children, other dogs, and even cats. While he can be shy when meeting new people or experiencing new situations, his sweet and loving personality quickly shines through once he feels safe. Viktor has a gentle temperament and enjoys being close to his people. He is still learning the basics of being a well-mannered companion and would benefit from help with potty training and household routines. Viktor is also working on crate training and has proven to be a bit of an escape artist, so he will need a foster willing to provide patience and consistency. A structured environment with clear expectations will help him build confidence and feel secure. Despite his uncertainty at times, he is eager to learn and has all the makings of an amazing family dog. Viktor's foster will have the rewarding opportunity to watch him blossom as he discovers the world around him. If you're looking for a sweet puppy who just needs a little guidance and encouragement, Viktor may be the perfect fit.

Story
Hi, I’m Max! 🐾 I’m a playful, devoted, slightly quirky guy with a big heart and an even bigger love for my people. This past year has been a lot for me—my owner passed away last summer and I’ve had a couple big life changes since then. I’m the kind of dog who really likes routine, so I’m hoping my next home is one where things feel steady and safe. Once I settle in, I promise I’ll be the most loyal sidekick you could ask for. A trainer once described me in the funniest (and most accurate) way: I think I’m the lifeguard at the pool… but I don’t know how to swim. Basically, I sometimes feel like it’s my job to keep an eye on things and make sure everyone is okay. When new people show up or we meet someone on a walk, I just need my person to reassure me that everything’s under control. I’m a sensitive soul like that. At home, I’m happiest just being near my people. I don’t always need to cuddle—I just like hanging out in the same room, supervising life. That said, I do have some very strong opinions about personal space… mainly that your space is also my space if I decide it’s time for pets. 😄 I LOVE to play! Fetch and tug are my absolute favorites, and sometimes I try to play both games at the same time (I’m an innovator). Chewy bones, toys, and a good game are the fastest way to my heart. Another great way to win me over? Play with me! I’m all in. When you come home, get ready for the most enthusiastic greeting you’ve ever seen. I take my welcoming duties very seriously. I’ll also happily patrol the yard for squirrels, follow you around the house to keep track of you, and occasionally steal a tissue if you leave one unattended. Finder’s keepers. I can be a little slow to warm up to new people, but once I decide you’re one of my favorites, I’m incredibly affectionate and devoted. In the evenings, when I’m sleepy, I may give you a very dramatic side-eye if you disturb my beauty rest—but that’s just part of my charm. I do have some dog friends, but meeting new dogs can be unpredictable for me, and I appreciate people who let me take introductions at my own pace. I also bark when someone new comes to the house—just making sure the situation is under control! (Treats help me realize everything is okay.) What I’m really looking for is a patient, loving home that understands sensitive dogs and will help me feel secure again. In return, you’ll get a goofy, loving, loyal companion who will always keep track of you, play with you, and greet you like you’re the best thing that’s ever happened. Basically… I’m your lifeguard. Even if I’m still learning how to swim. 🐶💛
