Story
I promise to be Pup-kin spice and everything nice!Hi everyone! I’m Dotty! I am a sweet and gentle dog. I was found with my 4 siblings just roaming the countryside as strays. Coming to MN was quite an adventure for me. I’m still shy around new people and situations, but I’m getting more confident every day. My foster family is starting to see my silly personality. I LOVE squeaky toys! Wrestling with my blanket is really fun too. I’m working on potty training and quickly getting the hang of it. Walking on a leash is something else I’m working on. I’m trying really hard to be brave away from my house. I'm looking for a patient home where I can feel safe and loved.I would love a house with a doggo friend so that I can have a buddy to teach me things and just hang out with. That would help me to be brave and make me really happy! I would also love a fenced yard. I love to run and chase my toys. My family is teaching me how to fetch. I’ll show you how fast I am. If you're looking for a furry friend who will be a loyal companion, then I'm your dog. Let’s start our fur-ever adventure together!Do we have the black dog for you, find your #1 Boo!For Applications received through 10/31/2023, Warrior Dog Rescue is taking $200 off of the adoption fee of select black dogs. This is reflected in the adoption fee shown below. *Training discounts do not apply*--------------------------------------------All our Warrior Dogs will have all age appropriate medical care and vaccines, a microchip, and spay/neuter before adoption unless age is a factor with a puppy younger than 6-12 months at the time of adoption. If that is the case, the spay/neuter will be covered in the adoption fee and the owner will be responsible to have the procedures completed at a Warrior Dog Rescue Veterinarian at the appropriate time.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 - $325To apply for this pup, please submit an Adoption Application at http://warriordogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-application/

Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please check below to see what upcoming adoption events I will be attending or apply here for a private meeting.  If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com> ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there*** DOB: 07/28/2022 Requires another dog in home: No Okay with dogs of all sizes: Unknown, has only met dogs her size Okay with cats: Unknown Okay with children under 12 years old: no, will knock small kids over Weight: 100 pounds  Requires a fenced yard: no Food Fed: Solid Gold Note: dogs must always be leashed whenever outside of a contained area. Invisible/ underground fencing is not recommended for most rescue dogs. 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.

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!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Big and Chill-axed!! Jet is a 4 year old, purebred Great Dane who was purchased from a breeder when he was a puppy. He was surrendered due to, the other younger 2 year old male Great Dane in the house being intact and suddenly the two males did not get along. (This can be a very dangerous mistake for some breeds due to temperamental changes of an intact dog and let's face it, most neutered dogs do not like intact males!!! Don't set your dog up to fail by having an intact male in your home with other canines!) The owners chose to keep the 2 year old intact male Great Dane and surrender sweet Jet. Jet has done well in group play with the other dogs at doggy daycare. He is a great care rider and willingly does all that is asked for his people. Jet is house trained and a gentleman it seems he is eager to please. He has been trained in his previous home with an electronic fence and e-collar. Jet does have a sensitivity to chicken based food but other than that he is as fit as a horse! Neutered, vaccinated and chipped he is ready to move into his new home! He walks like a true champion that he is on a leash. Jet is a pleaser, who adored his humans and will never push his boundaries. Please apply if you like BIG dogs who are loyal, protective and will be your forever friend.   A bit about Great Danes-Just like the Doberman, my ancestors originated in Germany. Those folks made some really cool dogs huh!!! We are called Deutscher Dogge in Germany!!! All of us Great Danes are noted for our courage, friendliness and loyalty. We are working dogs and need a job, with lots of daily activity. I am a Blue colored Dane but we come in a lovely variety of colors. We were the Scooby-doo's and Ghost busters of the medieval world….today we are called “Gentle Giants”. If you looking for someone to share your entire world pick me, I will be your loyal friend.   See videos of Jet walking like a gentleman with his fur foster sister at https://www.facebook.com/UnitedDobermanRescue/videos/1444653979414126 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 2, 2023, 9:12 pm

In the meadows, under skies so wide, There's a dog named Lahey, with joy inside. A Great Dane mix, Lab in his soul, At 2 years old, he's pure heart and whole. Tall and lanky, his beauty shines bright, A bundle of love, a pure delight. Sixty-five pounds of happiness, they say, In his world of play, he wants to stay. With other dogs, he frolics and runs, Underneath the warm, golden sun. For people, his heart's an endless sea, Lahey loves all, and he's filled with glee. He dreams of a home, an active place, With a family who'll cherish his boundless grace. Big mutt, big love, he's ready to give, In this world of wonder, he's bound to thrive.
