Story
❤️🎶 Meet Kenny Rogers! 🎶❤️Every litter needs a little music, and this handsome boy was named in honor of the legendary Kenny Rogers — with his sisters carrying on the Dolly Parton side of the tribute. Because what's better than a little country music and a whole lot of puppy love? ❤️🐾Kenny is the only boy in his litter, and this red-and-white sweetheart is one special guy! He looks a lot like his sister Ruby, with beautiful red-and-white coloring, long legs, and an absolutely fabulous personality.Kenny is sweet, playful, and full of charm. He's the kind of boy who is happy to be involved in whatever is happening and has that easygoing personality that makes you fall in love with him pretty quickly. 🥰With his long legs and handsome coloring, Kenny is going to be quite the head-turner when he grows up — but it's his great personality that really steals the show.And since he was named after Kenny Rogers, we think he's destined to find his own “Islands in the Stream” kind of love — the kind that lasts forever. ❤️This handsome boy is ready to find his forever family and start the next chapter of his story.🐾 Interested in Kenny?Please visit the SCARF website and submit an adoption application to be considered for this sweet boy: https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=ch2817&method=online_form_html&formid=41Kenny can be transported from Texas for an additional $300 transport fee. 🚐❤️*Disclaimer: This pet is located in Texas.

Story
Gracie came into rescue in Texas with her puppies, and now that her momma duties are behind her, she’s ready to discover what it means to simply be a spoiled, loved, and cherished dog. Gracie is a sweet, shy, low-energy girl who is still coming out of her shell. She’s a pretty easygoing dog, but she needs a patient family who will give her the time and space to settle in, build confidence, and discover her personality at her own pace. She does well with other dogs, including playful dogs. Gracie doesn't really play yet herself, but she seems comfortable being around dogs who do. As she becomes more confident and learns what it means to just be a dog, we suspect she may discover that playing is pretty fun, too! She does not need another dog in her home, but a calm, friendly canine companion could be a nice influence for her. Gracie has not been exposed to cats, so we don't yet know how she would feel about feline roommates. She does well with older, respectful children who understand that a shy dog may need a little time to warm up. She is good in her crate and is slowly learning what that funny leash thing is all about. Like so many dogs who haven't had much experience as pets, Gracie is still learning some of the basics, and she's been so brave, learning to open up and trust her people. We expect that as Gracie settles in and feels safe, more and more of her personality will come out. There may be a silly, playful, affectionate girl hiding in there who just needs the opportunity to blossom. For now, Gracie is looking for a quiet, patient home where she can learn, grow, and finally experience the life she deserves. She was a mom. Now it's Gracie's turn to be someone's baby. Gracie is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 09/12/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 8:30 and 11:30am. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame. Since they haven’t arrived yet, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start’s Foster to Adopt (FTA) Program. Visit our Foster to Adopt Program page to learn more. Once they get to Minnesota, they might require further veterinary care. Ruff Start’s veterinary suite is located in Princeton, MN, and, as the foster, you will be required to transport your dog to and from these vetting appointments.

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.  Meet Kiwi! Kiwi is a silly, high-energy girl who loves to run, play, and keep life entertaining! She absolutely adores her foster siblings and does great with dog-friendly dogs. Toys are one of her favorite things, and she can’t wait to find someone who will play with her—and then snuggle with her afterward. ❤️ Kiwi is also quite the little watchdog. She may bark when she first meets you, at unfamiliar noises, or simply to let everyone know she’s there and that this is her house! Once she warms up to you, though, she turns into an absolute doll. She loves lounging in the window for a good nap and soaking up the sunshine. Kiwi does enjoy mouthy play and can get a little bity when she’s excited, so she’ll benefit from continued guidance and redirection. If you’re looking for a fun, playful, affectionate girl with a big personality, Kiwi might just be just be your perfect match! 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. YOU CAN HELP: Not able to foster or adopt right now? Please consider sponsoring an Underdog. Your donation will help us buy dog food and pay for medical costs.
