Poodle (Miniature) puppies and dogs in Burnsville, Minnesota

-

I am Pete. I am from Missouri! From the foster: Meet Pete! Pete is a mini golden doodle with a double Merle gene. This is why he doesn't look like a traditional golden doodle and is instead spotted. This gene also affects Pete's eyes. He is missing one eye and it is thought that his other has limited vision or no vision at all, which makes Pete blind. This doesn't stop Pete from being the happiest dog around! He loves his people and his dog friends. Pete gets along with any dog that is willing to play with him, ranging from puppy age to senior age. Pete's favorite toy is a blanket, he just thinks they are fun to swing around! He is also learning to play with toys and thinks toys that squeak are pretty fun. Pete is a very sweet dog. He likes to be with his people and cuddle up with them. He has done well with adapting to his surroundings quickly. His foster family is working on some basic commands with him to alert him about his surroundings, such as "up and "down when he approaches stairs. Pete is learning to walk on a leash. He needs some more work with this as he jumps and gets too excited to walk. He just wants his people to pet him! Pete does jump up quite a bit to find his people and investigate his surroundings, but does get down when told no. Pete is potty trained and crate trained. He doesn't yet know to sit by a door to be let out for potty, but doesn't have any accidents when let out on a regular schedule. He sleeps all night in a crate with his snuggle puppy and is quiet until morning. If you are looking for a sweet pup with moderate energy, then Pete might be the guy for you!

Hi! My name is Cybill and I am from Missouri. Hello! My name is Cybill but my foster mom calls me sweet C because I am such a sweetheart! I came from Missouri and am learning what it means to be a pup. I am still learning my manners and potty training is a whole new thing for me. My foster mom takes me outside a lot but I love to chase the leaves instead of use the bathroom. I am learning how to walk on a leash and have been doing that really well! I do not like my crate and would rather cuddle up in bed with you. I love cuddling up on the couch or chewing on toys, rugs, pillows, and cords although I am learning that I cannot chew on some of those things! Cybill has a bit of separation anxiety. She would benefit from someone who is home more often than not, especially with her potty training. Cybill has been introduced to other dogs but not cats.

Hi! My name is Penelope and I am from Missouri. From the foster: Penelope is a very sweet, and gentle puppy. In the short amount of time that we have had her, she has learned so much. She loves going out for walks, exploring and sniffing. She is not afraid of loud noises, cars, garbage trucks etc. She is a confident, and inquisitive puppy while out walking. She greets the kids at the bus stop every morning, and they give her gentle, slow pets and she will stand quietly and enjoys it. She does not jump on them. She is fully potty trained, and crate trained. She is out of the teething stage, so we allow Penelope to free roam at night (she sleeps on the floor in our room usually.) I work remote during the day and she is usually hanging with me in my office playing with toys or snoozing under my desk. If I am running errands, I typically leave her out for 2-3 hours and when I check the Furbo cameras, she is hanging out, looking out the window, or playing with her toys in the living room-being a good girl. She is crate trained though, and will go in if she has to. She rides well in the car too. We took her to the beach for the one day of warmth that we had with her last week, and she went right in, so next summer we imagine she will be a lake dog and learn to swim! Penelope is very gentle with sharing her toys and food. She does not have one mean bone in her body and is submissive. She loves to lay her head on your hand or lap, and will give kisses if you stop petting her. She also loves to get zoomies in the backyard. She loves other dogs. She has not met any cats, but with being how sweet she is, we don't foresee this being an issue. Penelope came from a breeder who did not socialize her as a puppy, so some things are still new- like people. She is curious and wants to say hi- but can be shy at first- she needs someone who will give her more time in the next couple of weeks to keep introducing her to the world. I have no doubt she will continue to come out of her shell everyday and be a social butterfly with people in no time. She came around to us within one day! So give her some patience, time, and help her learn more about humans and this girl is a total keeper! Update! *Penelope did great trick or treating with the neighborhood adults and kids. She kept up with the group walking with us all (15 people,) golf carts zooming, kids running around, and adults chattering. She just ignored the chaos. She even reached out a few times to be pet by the group and sniff some of the kids in their costumes. She is getting more and more curious everyday with people!

Hello, My name is Jovie. I'm a 6 month old mini goldendoodle. I'm house trained, loved to cuddle, and I know how to Sit on command. Did I mention I LOVE food, toys, bones, rugs, shoes, and everything in life? I do have lots of energy so let's come up with a plan for exercise. I love walks and exploring the woods. I haven't really played yet with the other dogs in the house as they ARE BIG and older. Given my high energy I wouldn't be well suited for apartment life and would do well with a home with a yard to burn off some steam or for a family who is willing to bring me to doggy daycare. I had limited training in the beginning of my life but I am a smart quick learner who will need someone willing to continue to work with me. Apply today to meet me and get ready to fall in love!

Hello, I’m Peter a very handsome Miniature Poodle but I must admit that when I first came to live with foster mom, I was in rough shape. I mean seriously, my lovely fur was matted and I was absolutely TERRIFIED! That said, foster mom immediately loved me SO much that she got me all cleaned up and cared for in no time! Now, I feel great about myself and am getting more comfortable with home life. I have not met any cats or kids, and I am still afraid of new things, quick/sudden movements, commotion, and loud noises but I am getting better each day. If foster mom is sitting or lying down, I will approach her for loving pets and cuddles but if she’s moving, I keep my distance and will even bolt if she walks towards me so I will need a securely fenced yard. I know what “outside” and “stop” mean but I am still working on leash & potty training, and I bark when in the kennel/crate. I would love to have a canine companion who will help me feel more comfortable, teach me how to ‘dog’, and help build my confidence. I really am a sweet boy who is simply looking for the patience, unconditional love, and security that I SO richly deserve from my own fur-ever family! I really hope that YOU will be my new family because my heart is overflowing with love that I want to share with someone very special! Love, Peter *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 adopters 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 th eir 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.
