Meet Wendell! 💛 Wendell is a 6-year-old Mastiff mix with a heart as big as his 75-pound frame!

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.    Renji is a happy&#226&#128&#145go&#226&#128&#145lucky, goofy, lovable boy who brings sunshine everywhere he goes. When he’s excited, his whole body wiggles—not just his tail—and his big, joyful “smile” is impossible to resist. He’s friendly with everyone he meets, walks beautifully on a leash, and is the perfect passenger for car rides. Truly, he has never met a stranger. At home, Renji is a sweet mix of cuddly and independent. He loves being near his humans, giving kisses, and burrowing into pillows on the couch or bed, but he also enjoys having his own space to relax. He’s well&#226&#128&#145trained, eager to please, and knows an impressive list of commands including Sit, Stay, Down, Heel, Wait, Leave It, Shake, and more. He’s potty trained, does great on walks, and enjoys exploring the yard. He doesn’t react to squirrels or bunnies but will give a few barks to the mail carrier or delivery drivers. Renji is ball obsessed—fetch is his absolute favorite game, and he’ll happily play as long as you’re willing. Just be prepared: he won’t drop the ball unless he sees you have another one ready to go. After playtime, he’s content to lounge, nap, and soak up the calm. He has done well with visiting dogs and dogs he meets on walks, and he has also done well with cats in homes he’s visited. He does wonderfully with kids outside the home, but because he has had some reaction to the young child in his previous home, he needs a home without small children. Older, considerate kids are a great fit. Renji does have allergies that need ongoing management to keep him comfortable. He has been well&#226&#128&#145loved and well cared for, and it shows—he’s confident, social, affectionate, and ready to bond deeply with his new family. If you’re looking for a silly, sweet, well&#226&#128&#145trained companion who will make you laugh every single day, Renji is ready to wiggle his way into your heart. 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. 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.

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)
