Hi I'm Paris!  I'm a gorgeous girl with the most beautiful coloring!  I'm a sweet loving girl who adores attention.  I adore a good bootie scratch and kisses ear rubs.  I don't always realize how big I am and I will jump up for hugs.  I'm working on keeping all my feet on the floor, but I do try to be gentle when I do it.  I know with some obedience training I'll learn not to do that...unless you like it haha!  I enjoy food and I'm gentle when taking food.  I'm kennel trained and I'm quiet in it.  So far I've had no accidents in my foster home.  Nice right?  I walk and potty on leash.  I pull a bit, but I just need more practice.  My foster mama says I'm not a bad puller though.  I'm good with other big dogs though I haven't met any little ones.  I don't realize that I'm a big lady so little kids would likely get knocked over if they are in my home.  Bigger kids should be just fine though! I'm basically a big puppy and I'm eager to learn and share my love.  I promise to be the best girl and give you all my love! 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 adopters 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 th eir 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.  ADOPTION EVENTS:      Adoption events are updated as the foster home RSVP's to attend. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. 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. You may wish to consider applying and setting 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.

I love food and will gently take treats from your hand.  I'm told my food motivation will make training easier!  I'm a smart girl so I know I'll be a good student.  I love playing with other big dogs.  I haven't met smaller dogs yet, but I'd probably be fine, but we should meet to be sure they aren't afraid of my size. I enjoy chewing bones and going for walks in my foster home.  I pull a bit, but not bad.  I'm kennel trained and potty trained on a schedule too.  If you want a big lovable girl than I'm the one for you!

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Spot, the cutest Great Dane puppy you will ever meet. He was born 4/16/2023. He has the sweetest disposition. Loves to play and is learning quickly. Spot has learned how to sleep in his kennel overnight with his heartbeat stuffed puppy. He only cries if he hears his sister wake up to go outside and he wants to join. He goes right back to bed without struggle. He goes potty outside very well, but he also goes inside. I will say if you see him sniffing, he needs to go out- but he is learning. He still does not understand a leash and hates his collar. Does well when called and will sit for a treat. Will whine if not by his people, wants to be close to you all the time and continues to get stepped on and tripped over and looks at you like where are we going? anytime you move. He has the sweetest face and loves kids, dogs, our bunny. Just is such a great puppy.  Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.

Hi, my name is Zoe and I'm from a shelter in Kentucky. From the Foster: Zoe is such a sweet loving Dane girl! Sure to melt your heart with her undying love and devotion, she would be the prefect doggy for a single dog home or one with brothers/sisters to play with!! Zoe is one smart cookie. She has quickly learned the best way to get my attention for potty time is to come and bop me with her nose and whimper. Then she heads straight to the "potty door" for me to let her on outside! We have found that the best way to get Zoe to sleep in her kennel quietly is to make sure she gets a good run/walk before bed time. Doesn't take too long - around 20 minutes of some mental stimulation and good fun gets her ready for bed. She recognizes when we start doing our bedtime routine - and our work routine for that matter - and will noticeably start calming down and head into her kennel and lay down. However, she does have some separation anxiety and sometimes medication is very helpful for her when she can't calm herself down. She is learning and has come a long way so far! Leash training will need to be an ongoing process with her new family! She has got size and strength on her side from the beginning so her "gentle" pulling can feel like she is about to knock you off your feet at times. But she never tries to run - just gets curious and will tug you in the direction she wants to go. She is getting better though and is quickly starting to catch on to walking calmly beside you. Having said all that, Zoe is the best cuddler. If she could have it her way, she would be the lap dog you always wanted - cuddling with you on the couch for movies or sleeping beside you at night on the bed. So if that is what you are looking for, then Zoe is still the perfect dog for you!!

My name is Javi. I am a big, solid, handsome boy! I was being surrendered to a high kill shelter with my sisters when I was saved at the last second...in the parking lot....before we entered the pound :) Now THAT is a RESCUE STORY!!! I am a BIG boy with a soft heart. I love to snuggle and get love from all the dogs in my foster home. I am a little slower to cuddle with my people until I know you are MY people! I am still shyer than my sisters from our ruff beginning. However, I have been working hard to learn to love and trust like sissies and am ready for YOU!! I especially love the tiny one who doesn't get that I'm just a giant teddy bear. I have the most adorable eyes and get so excited for treats, in fact kids are my FAVORITE :) Have you ever tasted their fingers?? Chicken nuggets and Cheerios ALL DAY LONG!! but I digress..... I want my furever family, little ones included and so if you like BIG BIG DOGS, APPLY!!! I am going to be WELL over 100# so must love BIG MUTTS! Some basic information about Javi; he is male, Great Dane/ Labrador Retriever mix, and is expected to be extra large sized, 100+ when fully grown. I am smart and sweet and will be great with another dog to play with, a confident and social dog will help me be social too.

Hey there, I am Gordy aka Gordon (when I’m not listening) and Gordito Crunch (when my foster mama is playing with me)! I am an almost 3 year old Great Dane/Great Pyrenees mix. That just means I’m extra great of course!  I have the Great Dane height and body but a Great Pyrenees head with the Pyrenees shedding.  I was originally surrendered as a puppy due to having special back legs. I was adopted to a wonderful family but recently was surrendered back to rescue because I can be a strong personality. I get that from the Great Pyrenees side.  I love hard and love attention from my humans but don’t enjoy people I don’t know initially. I take my job of guarding the home seriously and need my humans to communicate and prove to me that they can control and protect the house so I don’t have to worry about it.  I recently spent a month with a really nice lady who taught me really fun things like walking well on leash, a strong place command, heel, come and all of the other skills I need to be a well mannered boy.  I really love to play with toys and other dog friends as long as they are not dominant. I’m a total goofball but have shown resource guarding over food with other dogs. I prefer to eat my food and bones in my kennel.  I really love my kennel. I sleep there at night and when my foster parents are gone. I will counter surf if left unattended.  Remember how I was surrendered as a puppy due to having special legs? Well, I still have special back legs. I was born with slightly twisted femurs so I walk a bit differently and have arthritis in my back knees. I love to run and play but can be sore after playing all day long so I occasionally take gabapentin to help. I also require daily joint supplements to help my bones stay healthy.  I currently take anxiety meds daily. I have been on these since I was young to help with my desire to protect the home. These meds cost about $90 for a 90 day supply so any future adopter needs to be able to continue to pay for regular medications.  Foster Mama Here: Gordy is the bestest boy. We fostered him when he was a puppy as well. We do not let him greet visitors at our house and require him to stay on his bed in a “place” while visitors are here. He is also happy to stay in his kennel. He does like to meet people slowly and at a good pace. Once he knows and trusts you he will forever welcome you as a family member of his.  Gordy has so much potential and loves so hard. But he will require owners who can set strict boundaries in the home and hold him accountable. His breed and genetics make him want to protect his home and people but if you a set boundaries he is such a great listener.  We walk him on a prong collar and he is eCollar trained. His adopters will need to commit to continued use of these training tools and also meeting with his board and train trainer to learn about everything he knows.  Gordy loves the snow and playing outside. His favorite is his doggy pool in the summer. We have 4 other dogs in our home and he plays with all of them.  Gordy lived with kids in his first home. He was very protective over them so we do not recommend he go to a home with children under the age of 12. He has been thriving with a farm life and would do best outside of the city. ##954057##
