Dachshund puppies and dogs in Mounds View, Minnesota

Age: 6 years old Weight: 16 lbs Dog friendly: Yes, requires companion dog in the home Cat friendly: Yes Kid friendly: Older/Considerate kids Potty trained: See below Crate trained: Yes Adoption fee: $525 Meet Slim Jim 🌭! Slim Jim is a dachshund who spinal walks, wears diapers, and has somehow decided that none of those things are nearly as important as making sure everyone knows exactly what he wants at all times. 😂 He is a very typical doxie when meeting new people. Slim prefers a slow introduction and needs a minute to decide that you’re not a murderer. Please don’t take it personally. He’s six inches off the ground and the world is a scary place down there. Once he decides you’re safe though… ohhhhh buddy. You now own a wiener dog. Or, more accurately, a wiener dog owns you. Slim is a MAJOR Velcro dog. He wants to be touching you at all times and sleeping in bed is basically his reason for living. He is an absolutely incredible snuggler and will happily spend hours tucked under the blankets against you. We even have a bedside bassinet for him because sometimes we have the audacity to do things that require both hands. 😂 He’ll wiggle his little body into it and go to sleep next to us until we remember our actual job is holding Slim Jim. He lives with a giant pack of dogs and LOVES his friends. His best friend is another paralyzed dog because she is the second-best snuggler in the house. We did not conduct a competition. Slim just knows. He gets around by spinal walking and has gotten pretty damn good at it. He uses a ramp to get down from furniture and we are currently working on going UP the ramp. Slim’s current position on this is: I have seen you pick me up before. Fair. Because of his paralysis, Slim does not have control over his potty. His bladder needs to be expressed 3–4 times a day and he wears a diaper. We’ll teach his adopter everything they need to know. And yes, changing a dachshund’s diaper will eventually become so normal that you’ll find yourself having a full conversation with another adult while wiping a wiener and not even notice what your life has become. 😂 Cats are fine. Slim has no beef with the kitties. He would prefer a home without small kids. He doesn’t hate children; he just finds all the running around VERY exciting and gets himself way too worked up. Honestly, same. He also does not need a fenced yard, which feels like one of the very few perks you should get when your dog requires multiple diaper changes a day. 😂 Slim Jim needs someone who will be patient while he gets comfortable, learn his pretty simple care routine, let him sleep in bed, and understand that once he loves you, personal space is over. He’s a tiny, opinionated, diaper-wearing sausage with questionable leg function and absolutely nothing wrong with his ability to be dramatic. We love him so freaking much. ❤️🌭

Welcome Drummer to CCPAL Rescue. Drummer is an 8-year-old wire-haired Dachshund. He was adopted out by us 4 years ago. He was 4 at the time. He has been loved and bonded deeply to the woman that adopted him. He would love another home with a quieter home that would allow him to get the attention he needs and deserves. He has found himself in need of a new forever home. His owner has been put in hospice and can no longer care for him. The immediate family cannot care for him so we stepped up and will find this precious boy his new forever home. He is trying to adjust to the Rescue again. The treats from our friends in New Jersey helped him today along with all the nice gifts. His owner has been put in hospice and can no longer care for him. The immediate family cannot care for him so we stepped up and will find this precious boy his new forever home. 5.5 may sound out but it truly is middle aged in Dachshunds lifespans. They can easily live to be 17 years old. If you love the breed, you know how loyal and bonded these dogs are to their person. They are a single dog person dog. They may love other people but they are loyal to one. He sheds some but not over the top. He is a good weight and his teeth are not too bad for his age. You can tell he was cared for and that he is disoriented with his new arrangement at the Rescue. He is in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get him to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. His adoption fee is $400 and transport is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states.

Welcome Mason Jar to CCPAL Rescue. Mason Jar is a 10 week old sweetie. Dachshund/Black Mouth Cur mix is our best guess. He should be a medium sized dog 28 pounds or less. He is sturdy but has really stubby legs. His mom is Pickles and she is also medium sized. He is getting lots of attention at the Rescue and he is social, good with other dogs, good in a crate, learning wee pad manners and is over all a very nice puppy. The kennel staff usually bathe and clip toenails on a regular basis as well. He should be fine with grooming. He has a soft fluffy coat and adorable expressions. He was found as a stray with his mom who is Pickles. He is getting all 3 sets of his puppy vaccinations, neutered and will be neutered soon. He can be adopted locally in Texas or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get him to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Mason Jar would be fine in a family with children. We like them to be 8 or older. A puppy is always best with someone that is not gone all day everyday. A puppy needs to bond with his humans and to go places to remain and grow up to be a well rounded dog. Mason Jar will also need to finish his puppy training. He would be great in a doggy daycare as he gets time playing off leash with other puppies his size. His adoption fee is $600 and transport is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states.

Welcome Cosmo to CCPAL Rescue. Cosmo is an Dachshund/Beagle is our best guess. He is about 18 pounds now and should be small sized full grown. We think 25 full grown. He is very sweet, has good eye contact and has a soft coat and down ears. He is active and the group is vocal but not over the top. He is one of the shyer pups and would be great for a family or person that is moderate to less active. He won’t be the social butterfly but will be a fantastic companion pet for someone. If a person is a quieter person wanting an easy and loveable pup that is content being with you, this is your match. A person that does not work all day every day for 5 days a week is the best for a puppy. Someone that can work from home some or has partial days or some days off to spend to help your new puppy acclimate is best. You need time to be with your puppy to socialize them and to finish off their puppy training. Cosmo was very easy to handle taking his photos and he wasn’t afraid of new people and liked being held. He sat on the table with confidence while we worked with him. He is getting daily attention and holding at the Rescue. He is getting his DHPP vaccinations and dewormed. He is good in his play group. He is kenneled in the evening and is learning to go potty on a wee pad. He is currently at the CCPAL Rescue in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get him to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. He would be fine with children. We like them to be 8 or older. His adoption fee is $400 and transport is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states.

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.   Available for Adoption — Meet Modist!  Meet Modist, an adorable Dachshund and an absolute little gentleman! Modist is friendly, curious, dapper, and full of love. He is the kind of pup who wants to be wherever his people are and would happily spend his days curled up on your lap or snuggled right beside you. He is a true cuddle-monster who loves his humans and is happiest when he can be close to them. Give him a belly rub, a cozy place to relax, and some quality time with his favorite people, and Modist is one happy boy. Modist is relaxed and easygoing, but he also has a curious side and loves getting outside to sniff and explore. He enjoys taking in all the interesting smells around him and is working on his leash training as he learns how much fun walks and outdoor adventures can be. He also appreciates the finer things in life, like sleeping in on the weekends and finding the perfect cozy spot for a good nap. Modist has a sweet, gentle personality and is eager to be part of whatever his people are doing. His foster home is a wonderful place for him to continue learning and growing. He is currently living with cats, dogs, backyard ducks, and teenagers, and he gets along well with all of them. He has shown that he can happily share his home with a variety of furry, feathered, and human friends. He loves being around his favorite people and would make a wonderful companion for someone who wants a loving little shadow who will be right by their side. Modist is still working on his crate training and doesn’t particularly love going into his crate just yet, but his foster family is patiently helping him learn that the crate can be a safe and comfortable place. He is making progress and, with continued patience and positive reinforcement, he will continue to build confidence. Like any young pup, Modist is still learning, but his sweet nature and loving personality make him such a special boy. If you’re looking for a Dachshund who will happily snuggle with you, follow you around, make you smile with his curious personality, and then settle in for a cozy nap by your side, Modist could be your perfect match. He is a loving, affectionate boy who simply wants a family of his own to adore and a forever home where he can continue to blossom. ❤️ 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. 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.
