Golden Retriever puppies and dogs in Apple Valley, Minnesota

This is a big boy! Kingsley is 3.5 years old and 95lbs! He’s been trained but unfortunately I had heart failure about 2 years ago and haven’t been able to truly get back to working with him. He has been raised in a home with 3 kids, 2 other dogs, a cat, rabbits and even chickens. He’s wonderful with grown ups but due to his size I don’t let the smaller kiddos around him much. I prefer he goes somewhere with land as he is big (way bigger than his breeder said he’d be) and probably with older kids. He loves to be around people but can roam in the yard all day. He’s a total sweetheart! I’m only rehoming him because he deserves a place that can give him more space. He has always been overwhelmed by our kids but loves them so much, he wants to cuddle but ends up sitting on them and he’s heavy! I can neuter him prior to new home :)

Hi! I’m Dixie and I am just as cute as can be! I’ve just arrived from Alabama. I was very happy to see my brother in the same foster home! My foster mom thinks that I’ve never been in a home before but I’m adjusting pretty quickly. It only took 2 days to master the stairs. I was so excited cuz now I get to sleep in the big bed with my human mom and dad! I’ve only had one accident the very first night of being in my new home, I was just kinda nervous. My foster mom says I’m getting so much better getting leashed up and walking everyday. My doggy brother is bigger than me and he lets me jump on him all the time. He is so gentle and good to me! He spoils me!I would do best with another dog in the house to show me the ropes. I would do best with a fenced in yard. Please give me a chance and I will give you a lifetime of love and loyalty!***FOSTER TO ADOPT***Dixie is heartworm positive and is currently going through treatment. Once her treatment is complete, the adoption can be finalized and it is the responsibility of the adoptive family to get a microfilaria test 30 days after treatment for a preliminary result. Then, a heartworm test 9 months after treatment for final results. It is recommended that she continues getting tested for heartworm annually. During these months, you will need to make sure her heart rate is not elevated due to high energy play or exercise until she receives a negative microfilaria test. Dixie will also need continued use of monthly heartworm preventives going forward. This will all be covered by Warrior Dog until her last injection. Any other medical needs will be the responsibility of the adopter. If you are interested in adopting Dixie, please fill out an adoption application. --------------------------------------------All our Warrior Dogs will have all age appropriate medical care and vaccines, a microchip, and spayed/neutered if the dog is over 6 months of age at the time of adoption. Please note that the majority of our dogs in rescue are from shelters where they have been found as strays or abandoned. Their breed description is based on our very best educated guess based on physical characteristics and their dispositions. If they came to our rescue as an owner surrender, the breed description will be listed as provided by the previous owner.Adoption Fee - $400To apply for this pup, please submit an Adoption Application at http://warriordogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-application/

Hello! My name is Diesel and I am 105 pounds of pure love! My family calls me the gentle giant! They say I am so patient, calm, and handsome!! I came to Minnesota from Alabama recently so I’m still learning the ropes of what it is like to live in a home. I overheard my human mom tell my human dad what a good boy I am. I let my doggy sibling jump on me all the time and she even gets crabby but I just take it like a good boy. She takes my toys and bones from me too. My mom has never once been worried about me. I love my walks and I will pee all the time on walks (I have never had an accident in the house!) but unfortunately I haven’t learned to do job #2 while walking. That’s why my family says I need a fence. I was nervous going up and down the stairs at first but I only needed gentle encouragement. I can do these no problem now!One more thing I’m working on…..going in the car!! Yep, I’m not comfortable with car rides. I don’t like getting in the car. Hopefully just need a little more time with these things. I know I will give you unconditional love forever and ever! Please give me a chance. --------------------------------------------All our Warrior Dogs will have all age appropriate medical care and vaccines, a microchip, and spayed/neutered if the dog is over 6 months of age at the time of adoption.

Hello! My name is Dillyn Mae and I’m a very pretty girl who just arrived from Alabama!! I was very happy to join 2 of my siblings already at my foster home. I’ve been around a lot of dogs my first year of life so I think I would do best if I can have another dog to love. My human mom thinks I’ve never been in a house before but she says I’m doing great! I’ve learned to go up the stairs and I even sleep in the big bed with my human family! I need more time on the leash, I’m still nervous walking on leash but can you blame me? It’s all new in my world! Please give me a chance….I have so much love to give!!--------------------------------------------All our Warrior Dogs will have all age appropriate medical care and vaccines, a microchip, and spayed/neutered if the dog is over 6 months of age at the time of adoption.

Did u know that two of a kind, beats a full house???? Ok, maybe not in poker..but in our lives it really does. We were found as a pair and the rescue saved both of us ;) anf yes we hang together all day so we are considered a "bonded pair ". Now that all of that fun is behind us, we r a cute pair! We are not puppies, so no need to hide your good China 😉 We so want a safe and loving and patient family. Arnold is shy and definitely depends on Gilbert to let him know thst they r c safe and loved. If you I are looking to adopt a couple of middle aged dogs, we are them!! Hurry, we r too cute to pass up! Local adoption fee is $350 ( in TX, together ❤️) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area- together)

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.    Rua is a super sweet dog who absolutely loves her person. She wants desperately to be a confident dog, and she is a confident dog with just her person. She is shy with anyone new and does best with a quiet household, preferably a single female that she can give her trust and her heart to. Rua is house trained, leash trained, and crate trained, though not a big fan of crates. She has separation anxiety and needs a very strong crate or a home that has nothing she can get into that would harm her. She's also capable of jumping over gates. She should have another confident dog in her home to learn from and she loves to play with other dogs as well as toys. She needs a fenced yard, minimum of 4ft as well because she can get spoked easily. She is such a sweet girl who spent her short life having puppies and now she's ready to have a home and love of her own. If you'd like to met Rua to see how special she is, please fill out an application for her. If you're looking for a best friend and loyal companion, she's definitely your girl. 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.
