Story
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.    Tallahassee is a 9.5-pound Maltese senior with a soft spirit, a shy heart, and the sweetest presence you could ever hope for in a companion. She’s around 9–10 years old and has some medical needs, but she is full of love, calm energy, and quiet companionship. She is incredibly gentle and wonderfully quiet — truly a dream dog for anyone with shared walls or a peaceful home. She never barks for attention, food, or visitors. Instead, she prefers to quietly observe the world around her, taking her time to warm up before offering her trust. Once she feels safe, she loves being in the same room as her person, napping nearby, and soaking up the comfort of simply being close.  Because of this, she would thrive in a home where someone is around much of the time to keep her company. Tallahassee is a sweet, affectionate girl who loves being petted and spending time outside. She has a soft curiosity about the world and enjoys taking in her surroundings at her own pace. She’s doing well on walks and continues to grow more confident with each outing. She has been doing very well with her potty routine when kept on a consistent schedule. Tally does best with regular potty breaks every 3–4 hours and will reliably go outside when given the opportunity. During freezing or very rainy weather, she has also used potty pads on an enclosed porch. She keeps her kennel clean and settles in beautifully when crated. Like many dogs who are still learning house habits, she may occasionally mistake rugs or previously marked areas for potty spots if not kept on a routine, but she continues to make great progress. She now sleeps with her foster mom and loves the comfort and security of being close at night. Indoors, she enjoys cozy spots to rest, while outside she’s happy to explore, people watch, or simply enjoy the fresh air. Tallahassee is wonderful with other dogs and has a very calm, respectful presence. She may feel nervous if another dog rushes up too quickly or in unfamiliar situations, and may try to quietly slip away until she feels safe again. She has made nice progress in the car and is gaining confidence with each ride. She has also learned commands like “come,” “down,” and “go potty.” She has several medical needs, including a heart murmur requiring twice-daily medication, as well as a hernia and significant dental disease. Due to her heart condition, she is not a candidate for anesthesia, so she is not able to be spayed and her dental and surgical needs will be managed conservatively. She will need a home committed to her comfort, routine care, and gentle handling. Tallahassee doesn’t have much interest in toys, but she loves soft treats, warm naps, and being near her person. She is the sweetest little companion who will sit with you for hours, offering quiet affection and a peaceful, steady presence. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving senior who wants nothing more than a calm home, a soft bed, and someone to adore—Tallahassee is ready to be your devoted little shadow. Some souls are quiet, but they love the deepest—Tallahassee is one of them 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.

Hi there! We’re a bonded brother-sister duo looking for our forever home together because life is just better as a team. Meet the Duo: • Milo – the outgoing one, resident spokesperson, and fetch fanatic. If there’s a ball, he’s on it. (Highly recommend a Chuckit… your arm will thank you 😆) • Bonny – a little more reserved at first, but once you’re in her circle, she’s all in. She prefers to let Milo do the talking… until it’s time to join the fun. Our Favorite Things: • Fetch (okay… Milo could play for hours) • Chasing each other at full speed in the yard • Car rides - we are READY before you even grab your keys • Teamwork… Milo retrieves, Bonny supervises (or chases him like it’s her job) A Few Things to Know: • We are vocal... think enthusiastic greeters and neighborhood commentators → no shared walls please • We’ll let you know when we need to go out (sometimes very passionately 😅) • We do well free roam (minus a little counter surfing temptation) • We’re still learning that it’s okay when our humans leave • We thrive with lots of exercise + space to run Our Dream Home: An active home with a big yard, lots of playtime, and humans who appreciate a little chaos mixed with a whole lot of love. We promise to keep you laughing, moving, and very, very loved. We come as a pair, built-in best friends, and full-time entertainment. All we’re missing… is you 💛 Adoption fee (total for Milo & Bonny): $790

Story
Snapshot of Banana: Size? Small Activity Level? Medium Noise Level? I bark when left alone, no shared walls please. I also bark when playing with other pups! Good with Dogs? Yes! I would LOVE a playmate. Good with Cats? Yes – I ignore them. Good with Kids? I love kids, but I’m still learning my manners. Good with Strangers? yes with slow intros Potty Trained? In progress and doing well! Crate Trained? In progress. Shedding? Minimal About Banana: Banana is affectionately known as Monroe in her foster home! This buff-colored Miniature Poodle is as gorgeous as she is fun, truly living up to her breed’s reputation. At just 2 years old and a petite 7 pounds, this pup is a sweet, smart, and affectionate companion with a playful, curious spirit. She enjoys exploring the yard, going for walks, and spending quality time with her people. She walks nicely on a leash and would love a home where she can stay active and engaged. While she can be a little timid when first meeting new people, once she trusts you, her loyalty shines—she’ll be your devoted little shadow (and likely your bedtime snuggle buddy, too!). She loves attention, scritches, and tummy rubs, but also has an independent side that makes her easygoing and adaptable. She gets along well with other dogs and would especially enjoy a playful canine companion to chase around with. She also does well with children. Banana/Monroe doesn't like to be left alone yet, and she barks so she cannot go to a home with shared walls. She will thrive in a home that can offer her love, patience, and plenty of playtime. This smart little fluffball is ready to blossom into an amazing lifelong companion! Banana is spayed, microchipped, and current on vaccinations appropriate for her age. Adoption Fee: $550 + applicable tax MEET ME/ADOPT ME: If you’d like to arrange a meeting or begin the adoption process, please fill out an adoption application by visiting https://www.twincitiespetrescue.org/adopt/ or clicking “adopt me!”.

Story
Hi, I’m Lucy 💕 I’m a gentle girl who’s still learning that the world can be a safe and cozy place. I can be a little shy at first, especially when you pick me up—I just need a few minutes to settle in and feel comfortable. But once I do? I’m all about the snuggles. I’ll happily curl up in your lap and stay there as long as you’ll let me. I’m also doing great with my routine—I sleep quietly in my kennel at night and when my people are away. Having that safe space helps me feel secure. With a little patience and a lot of love, I know I’ll blossom into the sweetest, most devoted companion 💗
