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

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.

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.  Want to meet me? Come to the Underdog Headquarters (3345 Dakota Ave, St. Louis Park, 55416) on Thursday, April 23rd from 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm. Please email inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com for questions regarding the dogs.     Hi! My name is Stetson, and I’m a sweet, sensitive little guy with a big heart and lots of love to give. I might seem a little shy when we first meet. New people, loud noises, and busy environments can make me nervous, so I like to take a moment to watch and make sure everything feels safe. But once I get comfortable and learn the routine, I truly blossom into the happiest, most loving companion you could ask for. My favorite place in the world? Right on your lap. I’m a total cuddle bug and love being close to my people. I’ll happily curl up with you for snuggles, but I’m also a playful little guy who enjoys toys and having fun with the people I trust. I’m a bit goofy too, which means I can make you laugh while we play together. I’m very eager to please and already know some helpful words like “come,” “outside,” “quiet,” and “go potty.” I’m potty trained and will use both potty pads and go outside like a good boy. I do best in a calm home where things aren’t too loud or chaotic. Little kids and lots of commotion can feel overwhelming to me, but gentle adults or older, considerate kids are much more my speed. Once I feel safe, I’ll love you with my whole heart and want to be by your side as much as possible. Leashes are still pretty confusing for me—I tend to freeze up when I’m on one—so I’ll need a secure fenced yard where I can safely go outside and explore. I can also get a little vocal in my crate at first, but with patience and a consistent routine, I settle down. Even though I can be timid with new things, I’m truly a happy little boy at heart. I love to play, cuddle, and spend time with my people. When I feel safe and loved, my sweet personality shines through. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate companion who will adore you, cuddle with you, and be your loyal little shadow, I might just be the perfect match. I promise that once I trust you, I’ll love you with my whole heart. **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. Since coming to Underdog, this puppy has been in a socialized and loving home, but that needs to be continued with its Adopters. Training classes teach puppies the ins and outs of being a pet while creating a bond with their new Adopter. Obedience classes are key to creating a relationship with your puppy while having it be a happy and successful member of society. Proof of Obedience Class registration is required for this puppy before adoptions can be finalized. If you would like some suggestions, we would be happy to send some trainers who have experience with Underdog Rescue, but a Basic Obedience class in your area should work!

Our goal is to place puppies in homes that are suited for their individual needs. You may be willing and able to provide a great home, but if it doesn’t meet the specific needs of the puppy, we will not approve your application. 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.

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 💗

At times, adopters will be responsible for procedures not completed in rescue (dentals, bloodwork, etc.)  Your new dog will receive their rabies and distemper vaccine.  $50 discount for seniors (65+) and veterans. Adoption fees help pay for the dog's veterinary exam, vaccinations (rabies and distemper) HW test and spay/neuter if needed and additional health needs specific to each animal.   Grey Face Rescue does not adopt outside of Minnesota for now. We apologize for the inconvenience.  We do not adopt animals to families whose current pets are not up-to-date on vaccinations or not altered.
