Golden Retriever puppies and dogs in Minnetonka, Minnesota

Hi, my name is Fernando, and I am from Alabama. Fernando has puppy energy, of course, but is obsessed with his people. He definitely has FOMO (fear of missing out) and will follow you around everywhere you go! He enjoys going for walks, but also enjoys curling up next to you and watching tv. He is working on learning commands and his name, and is showing interest when given tasty treats! He's going to be a big boy, so a fur-ever home with a yard would be a bonus!

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.

Meet Tulip! 🌸 Your new best friend is just a tail wag away! Just look at her great tail ! Tulip is a small mixed breed pup with a big personality and an even bigger heart. With her curly tail, expressive eyes, and bouncy step, she turns heads wherever she goes. Don’t let her size fool you—this little lady is packed with love, joy, and just the right amount of spunk! Tulip is as sweet as they come. She loves cuddles on the couch, playtime in the yard, and belly rubs any time you’re offering. Her playful energy is contagious, but she also knows how to settle down and enjoy the quiet moments. She’s great with other dogs and gets along beautifully with cats, making her a perfect fit for a multi-pet household. Whether she's romping with her furry friends or snuggling up for a nap, Tulip is always happy just being with her people. Quick facts: 🐾 Small shepherd mix 🐾 Curly tail and spunky spirit 🐾 Dog and cat friendly 🐾 Sweet, social, and ready for her forever home Tulip would thrive in a home where she gets love, structure, and space to play. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a spark of sass and a whole lot of love to give, Tulip is your girl. **Tulip was recently diagnosed with renal dysplasia, which means her kidneys didn’t develop normally before birth. This condition can affect how well her kidneys work over time. Right now, Tulip is feeling good—she eats well, plays, and enjoys her daily walks just like any other dog. Her current care includes a special kidney-friendly diet and regular check-ups with her vet to monitor her kidney function. While there’s no cure for renal dysplasia, many dogs like Tulip live happy, comfortable lives for months or even years with good care and lots of love. We’re looking for a family who can provide her with a stable, low-stress home and continue her veterinary care. In return, Tulip will reward you with endless affection, loyalty, and joy every single day.** Due to Tulip's diagnosis we have reduced her adoption fee by 50%. Her adoption fee will be $330 + tax to ensure her future family can set her up for success with the proper food and vet support. If you’re someone with a big heart who believes that every dog deserves a chance at love and comfort, Tulip might just be your perfect match. 💛 All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.

Age: Approximately 3 years old Weight: 72lbs Dog friendly: Yes, with proper introduction Cat friendly: Unknown Kid friendly: When properly introduced Potty trained: Yes Crate trained: Unknown ***FENCED YARD REQUIRED*** Hello! My name is Lewis but I am often called Lou If you are looking for a friend to watch whatever shows you want on tv I am your guy! If you are looking for someone that loves to chill on the couch with then I am your guy! If you are looking for someone to take walks with or even go for a jog with them I am also your guy as I love to go on walks! I love my humans and get attached to them, so it would be best if I was your one and only fur baby! I do like kids but have never been around real little kids so you may have to watch that I don’t knock them over as I would feel bad. I would love to be with someone who isn’t gone all the time as I will miss them so much. I roam free when my humans are gone and do fine with that, although I do have a habit of counter surfing so its best if you do not leave any food on the counter for me to snack on. I am told that I am the sweetest boy and would love to find my forever home so you can see that too. Lou Adoption Fee: $495

Hi! I'm Gypsy! I'm a beautiful golden retriever mix, about 3 years old (born 10/2021). I'm at that perfect age – not a crazy puppy, but not a slowpoke senior either! I've had a bit of a bumpy start in life, moving between homes a few times. But I'm ready for my *forever* home, and I'm hoping you're the one! My sweet golden eyes are hoping to convince you that I'm the missing piece in your family. Because of my past, I do have some anxiety, especially when kenneled for long periods. But don't worry! I take a daily anxiety medication that helps me feel much better. It's super easy – just hide it in a pill pocket with my morning meal, and I gobble it right down! It's *very* important that I get this medication *every* single morning. It's not something I can take occasionally, and I shouldn't stop taking it suddenly. My foster mom strongly recommends I stay on it for life to help me feel safe and secure after my rough start. I'm a fun-loving girl! I adore playing with toys, kids, and most other dogs. I can be a little bossy with *some* female dogs, but I get along fine with most. Cats? I'm curious at first sniff, but then I usually just ignore them. I've been around cats in other foster homes and done well. I'm a fantastic car rider – I love watching the world go by! I'm also crate trained (I might whine a little when you leave, but I settle down quickly) and house trained. I'm the perfect blend of cuddly and playful. I'll happily snuggle up with you on the couch for movie night, but I'm also ready for some zoomies in the yard or a good run! Won't you please give me my happy ending? I promise to be your loyal and loving companion forever and always. I'm just a brown-eyed girl, waiting for you! Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, alter, rabies vaccination, prepaid microchip, dewormed, Distemper combo vaccines appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, heartworm and flea/tick preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $395.00 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 30, 2025, 1:25 am

I am looking for a foster starting October 18. Emmy Lou and Willie MUST BE FOSTERED TOGETHER. If you can say YES please email fostersupport@thebondbetween.org. Hi, my name is Emmy Lou and I am from Arkansas. I am a young pup with my whole life in front of me... I can't wait! Adventures... yes please! New friends.... of course! Skills and learning... I eagerly await! Naps and cuddles... you betcha!

Hi, my name is Patsy and I am from Arkansas. From her foster: She is playful, gentle and affectionate sweet girl. Always keeping her eye on you, she’ll follow you everywhere. Loves cuddling and belly rubs. She’s smart and curious, learning new things everyday. She’s got beautiful eyes and a wrinkly face you’ll fall in love with. From the Vet: Patsy was seen for a scheduled alter surgery, but upon exam the veterinarian heard a quite, mild heart murmur. These typically are due to stress and young age, so we have planned to recheck this at an appointment on 12/2/25. As long as they have resolved as we expect, surgery will be rescheduled.
