Gabriella - You are the bridge between what was and what will be, my pathway to a new life! The name Gabriella often is associated with someone that is calm, strong and independent, a homebody and trustworthy. Yep, I'd say that kinda fits me! Note from foster mom: Affectionately dubbed Miss Gabbers, is a shy sweet gal that is looking for her fur-ever home. It will take awhile for her to acclimate and show off her happy side. It took almost a month for her to let me pet her without flinching and another month before I saw her butt wiggles and happy hops! She enjoys long naps and snuggles with other dogs but no human snuggles. Tummy rubs are a favorite once she gets comfortable with you. She very much enjoys her space and doesn't like being picked up or grabbed. She does love destroying Amazon packages and cardboard is her enemy!! Not a chance that any evil boxes will sneak past her. :) Gabriella loves other dogs and is obsessed with my cat. A home with other 4 legged siblings for her to feel comfortable and take her cues from would be most beneficial for her. She is house and crate trained. She loves her crate and with door left open will use it for her naps. Gabriella would do best in a quiet home with her person either retired or that works from home where she can get lots of one on one TLC. With a patient family that will give her the time and space she needs along with some gentle words and kind pets, she will show her true beautiful nature. If you're looking for a low maintenance companion that enjoys her quiet time, she just may be a perfect fit for your family!!

Oreo - You are the bridge between what was and what will be, my pathway to a new life! Oreo has had his lil world turned upside down. His elderly owner who loved them very much had to move in with family and is not longer able to care for him, his sister Lexie and his buddy, Shorty. Not only did he lose his owner but his home as well. Being the lil trooper he is, he's settled down in his new foster home and is doing remarkably well. It helped he got to stay with his doggie family and is making friends with the other foster pups there. Oreo is around 6 years young and would make a great companion for just about any household. He is at the age where he's just a lot of fun to have around. Some benefits to adopting an older pup - What you see is what you get, no guessing how big they will be or what they will look like grown They are already house and crate trained They are out of the puppy destructive stage, they don't need to be constantly monitored If they are quiet for too long, they're probably taking a snooze Oreo is super affectionate. He loves attention and his little stubby never stops moving! We're not sure how many kiddos he's been around but with his friendly personality should be fine with dog savvy kids. Oreo is house and crate trained making him an excellent addition for a (he's hoping, your) family. Coming in at the top end of the small category at 25lbs he's the perfect size for strolls around the neighborhood, walks to the local coffee shop, trips to town for your errand runs and of course stopping at the park for some play time or just relaxing watching the squirrels. And the best part is he's not so big he'll take up the whole couch for his beloved cuddle time! With his mixed breed hairytage, Oreo will need some regular grooming, but for the most part a good brushing a few times a week with keep him looking like the lil stud muffin he is!! Will you be the family that will right Oreo's world again? You just need to stop scrolling and fill out his adoption application and we'll take it from there!!! This family includes Oreo, Lexie and Shorty

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.  ADOPTION EVENTS:      Adoption events are updated as the foster home RSVP's to attend. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. 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. You may wish to consider applying and setting 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. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves. 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?

I’m enjoying my new life in Minnesota learning to play and looking forward to retiring on a couch, eating treats, playing with my toys, and snuggling up with my people. I’ve been spending my days dancing around my foster home trying out ALL the toys and ALL the beds, sniffing ALL the smells in the backyard, and taking naps both inside and out. Things I’ve learned I love are attention, treats, attention, toys (especially squeaky ones), attention, breakfast and dinner, attention, and sitting in laps. And did I mention attention? Things I’m figuring out is pottying outside (I know to go outside, but usually go inside once a day just because i want to!), which things/plants are ok to chew (hint- phone charger cords are NOT ok), and sometimes other dogs (I want ALL your attention!) I play tug and chase with the right companion but they need to be ok with me being the boss. Things I’m not a fan of are storms and loud noises, strangers, and the super cold weather. I don’t know or care what cats are- boring! I’m poodly smart with a big personality and would love to learn more games and might benefit from working with a trainer to help me learn to share if I end up living with other dogs. I can get a little jealous and bossy!  I will let you know if it sounds like anyone is coming home so living in a place with shared walls won't work for me as all those noises make me anxious and our neighbors won't like me letting them all know!  I will also answer if I hear other dogs calling me, ignoring them would be rude! I don't really like the leash but love to go outside in my fenced in yard to go potty, so I will definitely need a fence!  Zoomies in the yard or chasing my people are enough exercise for me. What I want most in life is to snuggle my BFF and eat treats. Can you be that BFF? Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, alter, prepaid microchip, dental, dewormed, Rabies vaccine, DAPP vaccine, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX , flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.

He has handsome golden brown curls with the cutest red highlights. Abner is a sweet boy but may be a bit shy at first. He loves his head and neck scratched and he would let you do that all day long if you're so inclined.  He recently discovered that he loves to take long walks and play in the back yard with the resident dog.  He may miss you when you’re at work, but he will be so excited to see you upon your return.  He is not a fan of crate training, but we've discovered that playing calming music or a show on the TV helps him when the humans can't be in the room with him.  This includes night time when he's most likely to let the humans know with crying and barking that he's unhappy about being locked in the crate.  Abner is on track to being housebroken and being taken outside frequently helps curb accidents in the house.  Car rides are a breeze though he may be a bit hesitant to get in the car. Once inside the car, he is very well behaved and quietly watches out the windows.  He does very well with cats and other dogs, but hasn’t had much exposure to children. Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $595.00  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 30, 2023, 12:31 pm
