A portion of my adoption fee has been sponsored by The Wilbur Fund. The adoption fee sponsorship credit of $100.00 will be applied during the contract process. Hi, my name is Niki and I am from Missouri! Meet Niki, your future best friend! 💙 This sweet, gentle guy is the definition of an easygoing companion. He loves affection and happily soaks up pets, hugs, kind words, and quiet time with his favorite people. Niki is incredibly gentle when taking treats and has wonderful manners around the house—he doesn't even need a kennel! While he may be a little shy when meeting new people, he warms up quickly and forms loyal, loving bonds. Daily walks are the highlight of his day, especially when he gets to stop and sniff all the interesting smells along the way. He's currently enjoying a couple of leisurely walks each day as he works on getting into tip-top shape. Niki would thrive with someone looking for a calm, devoted companion to share cozy evenings, neighborhood strolls, and plenty of love. From the vet: At one of Niki's recent veterinary visits, a mass on his prepuce was noted. A sample was collected and it was determined that the mass was a low grade mast cell tumor. Complete lab work and chest radiographs have been completed to ensure there is no metastasis or spread of this mass, and all results came back clear. Surgery has been performed to remove this mass and we were able to completely excise the mass with clean margins. Surgery for this mass is curative, however as Niki ages he should be monitored for any formation of new masses. At this time, Niki is medically cleared and is a happy, healthy boy ready to live his golden years with his forever family.

Hi, my name is Lazlo and I am from Arkansas! Lazlo is a friendly guy with lots of love to give! He loves to cuddle with you on the couch and has a funny mooing noise when he wants attention. He is great on the leash and social with people and other dogs. He has fun puppy energy and loves to play. He has been friendly with our small breed dog and with large breed dogs. He would be happy either as a well loved only dog or would be great with another doggy friend. We have not had him around cats so not sure how he would do but could possibly be fine. Lazlo does not bark much and has been a very easy foster. He has been very easy to train and is learning lots of commands. He already knows sit, touch and lay down, and we are working on stay and shake. From the Vet: Lazlo is being evaluated by The BB Rescue Medical Team for a mass on his elbow, once we have more information about the mass we will update this bio and be able to provide more info about the mass and/or if it needs to be removed.

Hi my name is Oakley and I am from Arkansas! Oakley is a playful pup with other dogs and entertains herself when alone. She has had only one accident in 8 days! Learns commands quickly with treats. Learning to come without cowering without treats. She is respectful to my older dog and doesn’t pester when he is done playing. Oakley sleeps through the night at the end of my bed. She is fine in a kennel when I leave her for 3-4 hours. Chews everything, including insects, but is easily distracted by an a appropriate toy. If I could, I would love to keep her. Oakley is joy!

Meet Perry! 🐾 Perry is a fun-sized Shepherd with a BIG personality and a battery that apparently lasts forever! 🔋 He is incredibly smart, athletic, eager to please, and ALWAYS ready for his next adventure. Perry needs an active person who will exercise his body AND his brain. A quick yard romp? "That's a great start." Seven-mile walk? Perry: “Is that all you got?” 😂 He LOVES his Kongs and will happily chase, bounce, catch, and retrieve one until you're ready to retire your throwing arm. He is also a seriously talented athlete. Throw baseballs? Perry will chase them down. Want to work on your batting average? Perry's your guy. ⚾️ Perry is house-trained, knows “sit” and “stay,” learns quickly, and sleeps quietly in his kennel. He's still working on leash and house manners—think pulling at the beginning of walks, counter surfing, and occasional Perry-powered zoomies through the house. Obedience classes, agility, and other activities would be a great way to give this smart guy a job and strengthen his bond with his person. Perry is fairly independent and isn't looking for a constant lap to sit on. He's happy to be your adventure buddy! He can be excited when visitors arrive and may bark or jump, but settles once he gets to know you. He's been respectful of older adults and does well around dogs who respect his personal space. Cats are an unknown. Because he's energetic enough to accidentally become a human bowling ball, older kids would be the better fit. Perry is a happy-go-lucky guy who isn't easily rattled. Loud noises? No big deal. Frozen Kong in his kennel? Now THAT'S a big deal. 😂 One thing to know: Perry is a serious chewer, so stuffies are definitely not invited to this party. Black Kongs are his jam! If you're looking for a dog who will keep you active, challenge your brain, make you laugh, and ensure you never wonder what to do with your free time again—Perry would like to report for duty. Rain or shine, this boy is READY. 🐕💨

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.    Meet Sweet Jolene! Sweet Jolene has a huge heart and a zest for life. She is incredibly affectionate, curious, playful, and happiest when she can be near her people. She’s the kind of dog who will happily follow you around the house, supervise whatever you’re doing, and then curl up nearby while you work. At Home Jolene loves being involved in everything her family does. She follows you around the house and is genuinely interested in whatever is happening. She is interested in the family’s dinner but does not try to take food from you. She is house-trained, sleeps quietly through the night, and greets every morning like it’s the most exciting day of her life. She is a wonderful companion and loves simply being with her people. Jolene is also protective of her home and property. When people visit or walk past the house, she can bark loudly and her barking can sound aggressive. With consistent desensitization and training, we believe this behavior could be improved. One thing to be aware of is that she does not love being separated from the family when everyone is outside without her. She may watch from the windows or doors, barking and whining, and she has been known to stand on her hind legs and damage blinds. This is something her future family should be prepared to manage. Activity & Exercise Jolene is an active, high-energy dog who needs both physical exercise and mental stimulation. She loves walks, playing with balls, and tug-of-war. If she doesn’t get enough activity, she may find her own entertainment by chewing on things around the house. She would do best with an active person or family who enjoys spending time outdoors, playing, training, and keeping a smart, energetic dog engaged. Training & Manners Jolene is leash trained and knows basic commands such as sit and shake. She is still very treat-motivated, so she sometimes needs a little snack-based encouragement to show off her skills. She does well away from home and has accompanied us to places such as Home Depot, PetSmart, Home Goods, and friends’ houses. Things Jolene Loves Going for walks Car rides Playing with balls of all kinds Tug-of-war Treats of absolutely every variety Being with her people Following you around the house Getting lots of attention and affection She is also a VERY heavy toy chewer, so sturdy toys are definitely recommended! ❤️ The Best Things About Jolene My favorite thing about Jolene is how genuinely happy she is to see you. She is happiest simply being near her people. She’ll follow you around the house, check out whatever you’re doing, and then curl up beside you while you work. She is sweet, affectionate, playful, house-trained, good on a leash, comfortable in the car, and a wonderful companion. Jolene is looking for an active family who can give her the exercise, enrichment, training, and mental stimulation that a Belgian Malinois needs. In return, you’ll get a joyful, loyal, loving dog who thinks every morning is the best morning ever. Sweet Jolene has so much love to give — she just needs the right home where her big energy can shine. ❤️ 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.
