Poodle (Miniature) puppies and dogs in Spring Lake Park, 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!

Stay tuned for more info as my foster home gets to know me!  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 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 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.       This 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.

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!

I might come across as cautious and a bit fearful of new things, but let me assure you, I'm a poodle with a heart of gold. My absolute favorite pastime is snuggling up on the couch, watching the world go by. There's something comforting about being close to my humans and observing the hustle and bustle of everyday life. While I might be reserved for most of the day, I do enjoy mixing things up with my foster brothers every now and then. I find solace in their company, and it brings out the playful side in me. When it comes to treats, well, who doesn't love a good snack? I'm not too picky, and I'll gladly accept any tasty treat that comes my way. Now, there are a few things you should know about me. I'm still learning the ropes when it comes to potty training, but I'm getting really close, especially when I have a consistent schedule. I'm also crate trained, so I don't mind spending some quiet time in my cozy space. Although I haven't had the chance to explore the world on a leash, I do enjoy the safety of a fenced yard. New experiences can be a bit overwhelming for me, so I do require a fenced yard. In addition to my cuddle-loving nature, I'm surprisingly okay with kennels and cars. I'm also willing to give humans a chance, despite my initial shyness. If you're looking for a sweet and gentle companion who appreciates the simple joys of life and is just waiting for a loving home to call my own, I might be the perfect match for you. I can't wait to find a family who will cherish me as much as I'll cherish 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 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.

I have yet to figure out what toys are all about, but I enjoy chewing on sticks, and I really LOVE to snuggle with my human! I have not met any kids but I’m good with other dogs and always respectful of cats. After all, who wants to get whacked in the face am I right!?! I am usually quiet unless something alarms me or I’m in that cave you humans call a “kennel/crate” and I’m still working on potty & leash training so a fenced yard is a must for me. I’m a super sweet and smart boy who knows what “down”, “come”, & “outside” mean all I need now is YOU…a patient, unconditionally loving fur-ever family that will NEVER give up on me. I promise I will love you bigger than the universe with ALL the love in my heart and together we will have the most amazing life and make wonderful memories! Love & snuggles, Lindy *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.
