Amira is a goofy girl who absolutely loves her people! She’s happiest when she’s right by your side—whether you’re doing chores around the house or settling in for a movie night, she’ll be there keeping you company. Amira does great with other dogs and kids, and she loves playing tug-of-war with her dog friends or proudly carrying a stuffy around like it’s her prized possession. Food is definitely one of her favorite things! When it’s time to eat, she gets so excited she’ll bounce all the way to her kennel like a little bucking bronco. She knows how to sit, and when you ask her to “down,” she’ll happily flop right onto her back. Amira walks on a leash and does well, though she can occasionally get nervous and put on the brakes—but a few treats and some encouragement get her moving again. She’s ready for her forever home and would do great as an only dog or with canine siblings. Amira is just looking for a family to love—and to stick close to forever. Local adoption fee is $200(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport your area)

Meet Bella (9) and Lou (8), two spotted sweethearts who love adventure! This charming Dalmatian pair has spent their whole lives together and are looking for a forever family ready to welcome both of them—because where you find one, the other is never far behind.Lou is the fun-loving, high-energy half of the duo. At 64 lbs, he’s happiest running beside an electric scooter, chasing a ball, or showing off his signature Dalmatian enthusiasm. Lou’s also a talker—you’ll never have to wonder what’s on his mind, because he’ll tell you!Bella, on the other hand, is the confident queen and oh-so sassy! At 76 lbs, she knows what she wants, and she’s not afraid to “discuss” it with you. Though she still enjoys playtime and walks, she’s more about the cozy life these days—lounging close to her people and getting plenty of love. She’s also managing a history of kidney stones, so she drinks lots of water and needs frequent potty breaks (and quick access to her throne—er, backyard).Bella and Lou adjusted well to their foster home with a family who was patient and gentle with them. They are house-trained and crate-trained, but can be trusted to free-roam at home. They will need a home without shared walls (no apartments/townhomes) due to their noise level.These Dalmatians need exercise—and A LOT of it! They love to run and play catch as long as you'll let them. They will require a fenced yard in their future home to meet their energy level. A fence taller than 4-ft is recommended due to safety concerns. They do well with other dogs and young kids but will need proper introductions when making friends. Lou tends to be protective of his bestie and they should also be supervised due to their larger size. Bella and Lou cannot live with cats.Together, these two are pure joy. Lou brings the energy; Bella brings the sass—and both bring endless love. If you’re ready to double the spots and double the love, Bella and Lou are ready to meet you.If you are interested in this dog, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $450. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, heartworm/Lyme test, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and Bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchip implant (including registration).

Hi, my name is Kelli Bear and I am from Arkansas! From her foster: Kelli Bear is a sweet, gentle girl with a calm and loving nature. She may be a little shy when first meeting new people, but she warms up and will greet you with a soft, happy tail wag. Her quiet personality makes her a wonderful companion for a peaceful home. Kelli enjoys relaxing in her cozy space downstairs and occasionally playing with her favorite bone. She’s currently working on building confidence on leash and during walks, and she continues to make steady progress. While loud noises or barking dogs can still startle her, she’s growing braver every day. Kelli Bear would do well with calm, like-minded dogs and would thrive in a home with older children who understand gentle interactions. She’s blossoming into a truly special companion. From the Vet: Upon Kelli Bear's intake vetting, we noted that she has some worn/broken teeth, particularly her canines. She will be getting an exam for evaluation of her teeth and a TBB Veterinarian will determine if a surgery for cleaning/extraction may be necessary for her.

I am looking for a foster or forever family! Please email fostersupport@thebondbetween.org if you can say YES to fostering this animal! Select the "Apply for Adoption" if you would like to adopt Hi, my name is Jack Frost and I am from Arkansas! From his foster: Jack Frost is the perfect mix of playful puppy energy & snuggles. He is potty trained & crate trained, making him an easy addition to a lucky family. Jack adores other dogs & would do great with another dog to keep up with him or even by himself! When he sees another dog his tail is immediately wagging & he wants to play, but when playtime is over, his favorite place in the world is right on you. He's high energy & has a little bounce to him sometimes, but once he's burned off his energy, expect cozy couch cuddles, warm puppy naps, & a loyal little shadow following you everywhere. Jack is teething & can be a bit mouthy so he will need some training and boundaries set, but we are working on it! Jack would do best in a home without cats. He'd love a yard he can run free and burn some energy!

Maryann showed up at a good Samaritan's house. The good Samaritan brought her to our facility, and we took her in. Well, how could we resist. She was so frightened and scared but is doing much better now. She is up to date on shots, spayed, microchipped, house trained and ready to be adopted. Who couldn't resist her face. She is so adorable and she needs a good loving home full of happiness, playfulness and lots of love. The foster that has her now says she is coming out of her shell and is very playful and full of life. She is very curious and so affectionate. She will be great for any family to have as a family member. She is in TN but the cost of transport to your area is included in her fee. We use the most animal friendly transport on the road, Rescue Riders Pet Transport.

Sweet little Bea was running around rural Georgia with her sidekick for several weeks after apparently being dumped. Everybody in the area said they were friendly, but no one knew them so they called animal control. The girls were very bonded at first, but we feel like their first love is people. They want to love people and be loved so badly but when they didn’t have any people, they became very attached to each other. Her sidekick has now found her forever home and it’s Miss Bea’s turn now. She’s exceptionally sweet and outgoing. She loves to go for walks and rides in the car. She also loves to snuggle on the couch. Bea is 22 pounds and between four and five years old. WE ARE ONLY GUESSING AT HER BREED! She does not really have a JRT temperament but she has the size and cute little short tail. She is up-to-date on vaccines, spayed and heartworm tested negative. She appears to be a very healthy and happy girl. She had a couple of accidents the first day in her foster home but now she’s doing very well with house training if you would like to be Miss Bea’s hero and the center of her world, please email omlc7@hotmail.com or Dogs4mylife@gmail.com and we will send you our information and application.

Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.    Shaylee is the life-of-the-party little sister who shows up with bed-head ears, a squeaky toy, and zero plans except fun. This baby Catahoula mix is a happy, bouncy, goofy ray of sunshine who spends most of her day playing with her puppy brother, showing off her puppy zoomies, and narrating her own adventures like she’s the star of her own reality show. She’s picking up all the important life skills by watching the big dogs around her, including the very serious chihuahua mix who communicates in side-eye. Shaylee now understands that not everyone wants to wrestle and she’s super respectful about it. She plays beautifully with dogs of all ages and sizes and greets every human like a long-lost friend. She hasn’t met tiny kids yet, but she adores her foster’s teen and loves being close to her people when she finally takes a break from puppy shenanigans. She’s getting better every day with potty training and leash walking, and she’s a champion eater who thinks treats are a lifestyle. Crate time is going well too—she voices her feelings at first, but then settles in for a nap like the sweet baby she is. Shaylee is sweet, spunky, full of heart, and equipped with some truly magnificent ears. She’ll thrive in a home that enjoys puppy energy, goofy charm, and the kind of love that comes with having a tiny shadow following you around. If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate, bright little buddy to grow up with, Shaylee is ready to bounce into your life and make you laugh every single day. **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.  This 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 to 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.
