Dachshund puppies and dogs in Spring Lake Park, Minnesota

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. //   Find our applications at www.midwestanimalrescue.orgAdoption Fee $400 plus taxWalter is a goofy and cuddly guy who wants to be near his people. He loves laying in the sun, going on walks, treats & toys and being under the covers.    Walter needs a fully fenced yard as he can be quite the escape artist. He likes to run for short bursts in the yard and find smells to roll in.  Walter gets along with his two resident dogs, but is still learning polite greetings with new dogs.   Walter is very curious, and needs someone who can be patient and reassure him. He is still working on leash training and is currently demonstrating some reactivity with other dogs. Based on the fosters observations we beleive that Walter may be hard of hearing.   Walter is left home with the resident dogs for a few hours at a time. He is known to be a snoop and counter surfer, so he is put in a room with our resident dog. He will settle when left with a doggy friend.    Walter picks up on patterns and routines quickly. He is not a quiet boy and will express his needs.   At this time, we do not how Walter does with kids or cats. Walter tends to be curious, cautious and skittish around new animals and meeting people outside the home.    Currently we are working on basic obedience and leash etiquette. Walter seems to have some reduced hearing and vision. We suspect it's genetic/congenital. He does not seem to be in any pain from it and we are working with MARS Vet to keep tabs on it.

Dog friendly - yes Cat friendly- Yes Kid friendly- older, respectful kids only Potty trained- working on it Crate trained- working on it **NEEDS COMPANION DOG IN HOME** NEEDS FENCED YARD** Meet Betsy – A Truly Special Little Girl Looking for Her Forever Home Hi there! My name is Betsy, and I’m a very special pup with a heart full of love. I was born almost completely blind, but that doesn’t stop me from living life to the fullest! At first, I can be a little timid with new people, but once I recognize your voice and your scent, I’ll become your most loyal friend. My blindness doesn’t hold me back—in fact, I can be quite the little stinker! You’d be amazed at the things I manage to find. I love to collect toys and hoard them in my room—it’s kind of my thing! Living with a blind dog is a bit different, but not difficult. I can get startled easily, so I need you to tell me what you’re doing—like when you’re about to pet or pick me up. I’m learning to go potty outside (it’s a work in progress), but I do great with puppy pads. I've already learned the layout of my foster home and can zoom around like a little speed demon! I can be a bit bossy with my foster dog sibling, but we play so well together—and I adore the cat, too! I would do best in a home with a securely fenced yard and another friendly dog to show me the ropes and help me feel safe. My foster family had to “baby-proof” the house for me a bit, which helped a lot. I think I’d do well with older, respectful children who can understand my special needs and learn how to interact with me gently. I already know a few basic commands like “no,” “stay,” and “drop it.” I love to play with toys—especially hiding them—and I rely on my excellent sense of smell and hearing to explore the world around me. I can get nervous when other dogs bark because I can't tell what’s going on, but a calm, reassuring home would help me thrive. I may require a little extra care, but I promise I’m worth it. I’m sweet, beautiful, and bursting with love to give. If you open your heart to me, I’ll fill your life with joy, loyalty, and a whole lot of tail wags.

He’s a little comedian with a tail wag that never quits!   Together, these boys enjoy the finer things in life: playing, snuggling, eating dinner, and perfecting the art of being lazy. They balance each other out beautifully—Squirt’s tenacity and Squish’s playful spirit make them the perfect pair to brighten your days.   If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this delightful duo, you’ll be rewarded with endless love, laughter, and snuggles. Squirt and Squish are ready to bring their unique brand of joy to a family who will love them just as they are—together. Could that be you? 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.
