I'm searching for a fabulous forever home to share my life and love with! Do you want a great friend to join your family?  Well, adopt me and let's start making lasting memories together!  * Puppies under 5 months should not be left alone for more than 4 hours at a time to help them with potty training and socialization.   If you have previously applied with us please email placement@midwestanimalrescue.org to reactivate your application with new interest.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.  or    When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.  Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS.  We do not transport to potential adopters.

He was rescued in the knick of time from an animal control facility out-of-state where he was just about to be euthanized. He was initially found as a stray that was unclaimed, so most of his history is unknown. Diesel got aggressive with a Shih Tuz who wandered onto his finders property, so was then was sent to animal control. Diesel sadly lost a bunch of weight during his 3 weeks at animal control due to stress. He is up to 125lbs now, but still needs to put on more weight. Diesel enjoys spending the day out in a large fenced in yard (6ft) with 3 of his doggie friends. It takes a lot of convincing to get him to come back in! Ideally, it would be great for him to have a home on a farm or where there is acreage. While in his fenced yard, Diesel will bark and get anxious when people, cars, other dogs, lawn mowers etc. are go by. He will also bark if he sees something out the window while in the house. If corrected or distracted he will stop. Again, a more quiet setting/home vs busy streets with action would be best for Diesel. Diesel will do great with other medium to large sized dogs once he gets to know them. His current friends are a 75lb hound and two 35lb Aussie mixes.  Once he gets used to seeing the other dog, smelling them etc through the fence for several days and then allowed while on leash to get close, he does well. If he first sees a new dog he will act aggressive towards them, no matter their size, if male/female, or if they are totally ignoring him. When on a walks, Diesel becomes anxious and will tug and pull and attempt to get to the other dog. He has been introduced to cats. Slow introductions and supervision would be advised with any cat to ensure they get along. Diesel has done well around older children. However, if/when he becomes anxious, (i.e. sees another dog), he could knock small children over without intention.  Unfortunately, Diesel does not like to be crated. He will escape a common wire crate. If he is bored and left unsupervised in house, he will find things around to chew on or counter surf - like many young dogs do! Ideally his new pawparents would be home most of the day or even if he could have space in the garage where he wouldn’t get into things to chew up!  All this being said, Diesel is the sweetest thing towards his people! He loves to roll over for tummy scratches, and really is just a big goof that needs someone that understands his big breed and patience to work on correcting his behaviors. Can you be the one to give Diesel the chance he deserve?

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.  Keep checking back for upcoming events I will be attending!         Kerry Gold is a sweet and thoughtful Shepherd–Mastiff mix puppy with a gentle heart and a very bright mind. She may be a little shy when first meeting new people, but her curiosity and loving nature shine through quickly. Once she realizes someone is a friend, she warms up fast and happily becomes your loyal companion. Kerry loves being around people and enjoys being part of the family. She has been wonderful with the toddler in her foster home and shows a naturally gentle and protective spirit. She keeps a close eye on what’s going on around her and will bark to let you know if something new catches her attention. This smart girl is eager to learn and very food motivated, which makes training a great opportunity for bonding and building her confidence. She already knows several commands, including “sit,” “kennel,” “outside,” and “leave it.” Like many young puppies, she’s still learning the ropes and continues to make progress with potty training when kept on a good routine. She’s also working on feeling more comfortable in her crate and improving her leash skills. Kerry enjoys playtime with toys and especially loves chewing on a good bully stick or playing with rope toys. She gets along well with other dogs and has been very respectful of the older resident dogs in her foster home who prefer a quieter lifestyle. While she would enjoy having a canine playmate, she would also do well as an only dog in a home where her people are around often and can give her plenty of attention. Because she can be a little timid at times, Kerry is working on building her confidence, including overcoming occasional submissive peeing. With patience, encouragement, and positive experiences, she continues to grow more comfortable each day. Overall, Kerry Gold is a kind-spirited, affectionate puppy who simply wants to be near her people. With continued guidance, love, and structure, she will grow into a loyal, intelligent companion who will bring warmth, protection, and joy to her forever family. I’m a growing puppy and I have not yet had a lot of experience with crates, kids or cats and I might bark if something alarms me, but I really love to learn and hoping for a family who will take me to a basic obedience class to continue to help me build confidence and dog skills. Ideally my forever home would need to be home during the day to help me with my potty training and not leave me for breaks longer than 3 - 4 hours. If you are looking for a best friend, please fill out the puppy application. The more info you include on the application the better so I can find a good match for my forever home. Get your toy box ready! **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! 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.  T his puppy requires an application fee. This fee must be paid within 24 hours or your application will be considered void.  We will not review or contact applicants that have not completed the payment portion.   Puppy Applications will be responded to within 5 business days, after receipt of the application fee.  Please understand that paying the fee does not guarantee you will be approved to adopt the puppy. Our goal is 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. 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.

Hi, I’m Luke, and I’m a big, lovable boy tipping the scales at just over 100 lbs! Don’t let my size fool you—I’m a happy, easygoing pup who just wants to play, explore, and cuddle. I’m all about the good things in life: squeaky toys, water play, long walks, and best of all—snuggle time on the couch. I’m a pro at giving hugs (though I’m working on not jumping up too hard to give them—oops!). I get along great with other dogs and kids, but because of my size and enthusiasm, I’d do best with older children who won’t get accidentally knocked over during playtime. I’m crate trained, housebroken, and walk nicely on a leash—unless there’s a squirrel… then it’s game on! I do have a slight prey drive, so a little guidance goes a long way. If you’re looking for a big-hearted, playful companion to fill your home with love (and maybe take up some space on your couch), I’m your guy. Let’s make forever happen! 🐾 Local adoption fee is $200(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)
