Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.  Meet Eloise, an adorable female terrier mix with a heart full of potential! This sweet girl is looking for a loving home where she can thrive and build her confidence. While she can be shy around new people, Eloise truly shines in her familiar environment. At home, she's a cuddly companion who loves head scratches and will gently nudge you for a quick hug. Eloise is a social butterfly when it comes to her canine friends! She adores playing with dogs of all sizes, and their presence helps her blossom into a more confident pup. With her keen intelligence, she loves to explore and will often jump up to find the best lookout spots, keeping an eye on the world around her. This clever girl has a big appetite and has been known to sneak a few bites from her friends’ kennels—after all, sharing isn't her favorite thing! For this reason, she prefers to eat in her kennel, where she feels safe and secure. Eloise is kennel trained and is making great strides in her potty training journey. She enjoys quiet, leisurely walks on a leash and is learning to embrace the great outdoors. Eloise's journey of self-discovery is ongoing, and each day she becomes more confident and curious about the world. Eloise would thrive best in a home with another dog to keep her company, and while she's unsure about cats, she may be able to adapt. Given her gentle nature, a home without young children would be ideal. If you're looking for a loving companion to share your life with, consider opening your heart to Eloise. She dreams of becoming a cherished family member and is ready to fill your home with joy! 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.

Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.          Sierra  is on a mission to explore every inch of your yard, your heart, and possibly the inside of your laundry basket. At under six months old, she’s the ultimate adventurer: part explorer, part toy-chaser, and part cuddle connoisseur. Sierra is all about making friends—dogs, cats, chickens, kids... if it moves (or even if it doesn’t), she’s probably already planning a polite introduction and possibly a nap nearby. She’s crate trained, working on potty training, and has strong opinions about the importance of fenced yards (mainly that they are magical kingdoms built just for her frolicking pleasure). Sierra doesn't bark—she communicates through soulful stares and waggy tail messages—and would thrive in a home with another dog to share her zest for life. If you’re looking for a sweet, adventurous companion with a heart as big as her curiosity, Sierra is ready to make your home her next great discovery. **Obedience classes are required when adopting this puppy from Underdog Rescue. Many of our puppies have a mama who was not properly socialized before coming to Underdog Rescue.

We accept applications for puppies until we have a candidate that meets all of the requirements needed for the specific puppy and they have been contacted to review the adoption process as well as agree to all of the terms to move forward. ***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.

Hello my name is Molly, I'm from Minnesota! From the foster: Molly is a sweet older lady who enjoys lounging around, getting scratches, and playing in short bursts. She gets occasional zoomies, but isn’t crazy about toys. She does like hard bones to chew on. She’s slowly losing weight and going on daily walks to improve her stamina. She is almost able to jump onto the couch unassisted. She gets along with everyone, dogs and people alike. She loves to be around her people but will also do her own thing when she is ready to relax. An ideal forever home will have someobe who is able to spend time with Molly in her golden years. She would do well with someone who enjoys walking and is able to continue her journey towards hitting her optimal weight and having a healthy life. She would be fine as either an only dog or an addition to a loving home.

Weight: 14 lbs Dog friendly: Yes, requires one in the home Cat friendly: unknown, not tested Kid friendly: older kids only Potty trained: Yes, good on a schedule Crate trained: No, does not like the crate Izzy is a very smart, playful and goofy typical JRT in so many ways. Once Izzy has chosen you as her person, she is very loving and protective. Whether you are getting home from being gone for hours or just getting out of bed from 2 feet away from her, she will let you know just how happy she is to see you with her extremely fast wagging tail and little love grunts as she dances around you. Izzy LOVES her toys. She typically likes to carry her miniature hedgehogs around in her mouth as she goes about her day, inside and outside. She seems to really enjoy car rides and is usually very quiet and calm until you get to your destination and then she is ready to go. Izzy loves walks and sniffing and for the most part can be easy to take on walks until she sees other dogs and then her protective side comes out and she is quite reactive. Izzy is a huge fan of routine and change can be hard on her. Izzy's past has clearly taught her that people can be scary but with patience and time she is slowly learning to trust. Izzy currently has two foster siblings (a male Shih Tzu mix and a female Beagle) and does well with them. Izzy does best with a calm companion dog that she can take cues from to help her with her anxiety. Izzy can be one of the most rewarding and sweet dogs that you would ever meet if she's given enough time and patience. Adoption Fee: $325

🐾 Meet Dominic 💙 📍 Age: 5 years old ⚖️ Weight: 16 lbs 🐶 Dog Friendly: Yes - requires a canine companion 🐱 Cat Friendly: Unknown 👶 Kid Friendly: Unknown 🚽 Potty Trained: Yes - does well on a schedule 🏠 Crate Trained: Yes - does great when left alone 🌳 Fenced Yard: Not required - does well on leash Dominic is a smart, affectionate little terrier who’s ready to steal your heart! While he may be shy at first, give him a little time and you’ll be rewarded with full-body tail wags and lots of snuggles. He’s a cuddle bug who loves to nap beside you or curl up in bed, though he’s also content and well-behaved in his crate when needed. As an active young terrier, Dominic enjoys long walks, games of fetch, and – most of all – roughhousing with his foster sibling. He must have another dog in the home for companionship and play. He gets along well with all dogs he’s met so far. Dominic is also incredibly smart! He picked up “sit” and “come” in just one day, and is working on “lie down” and “dance.” He’s improving on leash every day and travels well in the car. If you're searching for a bright, fun-loving, and loyal companion — especially one who’ll get along great with your resident pup — Dominic is your guy! 💵 Adoption Fee: $595

We were rescued from a small border town and are now ready to find our forever families! We’re your typical silly puppies—full of zoomies, tail chases, and sibling wrestling matches. We love to pounce, dig, and roll around in our blankets until we’ve made the perfect cozy bed. And kisses? Oh yes—we LOVE to give them and get them too! Once we’ve burned off our energy, we’re all about the snuggles. Could we be the perfect addition to your family?

Welcome Jazz to CCPAL Rescue. Jazz is a scruffy wire-hair Terrier mix. We think she is a Border Terrier mix dog. She is 3-years old and weighs about 50 pounds. She is not a big shedding dog and now that she has been in the rescue, her coat looks gorgeous and is filled in. When she came in she was thin and her coat wasn’t as full and beautiful as it is now. She is good with many dogs but not all. She would love to be in a family that is outdoorsy and fun and we think she would love to be the only dog and get all the attention. She pulls on lead when we first get her out of her kennel but she does settle down nicely. She didn’t jump up on us and is a well rounded dog. She is confident and will be fine as an only dog. She is good in her kennel and in car rides. She came in with another dog named that was also a scruffy terrier. He has been adopted and she is now waiting for her opportunity for a new forever home. She is a great dog and will make some lucky family a great companion. She is spayed, vaccinated and ready for her forever home. She is currently in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland(Oregon), Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is 300 and transport is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions.
