Pomeranian puppies and dogs in Columbia Heights, Minnesota

Hi! My name is Gidget and I am from Missouri. From the foster: Gidget is initially very shy but is the sweetest little girl. She would love to go to a home that can provide her with a calm environment, patient and gentle interactions, and ideally a resident dog who can show her the ropes and teach her confidence in her new home! Once Gidget feels a bit safer in her surroundings, her joyful, playful side comes out! She's been known to find socks and redecorate the main level with them. Sometimes she'll pounce on little kibble bits that have spilled over the side of her bowl. She'll have little zoomies when she goes outside or at mealtime so show her excitement. She's still learning that being pet and held isn't so scary, but with a gentle touch and patience, she has been acclimating to us being near her and touching her very well. Gidget doesn't appear to know what walks are - once outside, she does her business and sticks to the nearby area. Her new home could teach her how to enjoy exploring and walking alongside her forever person/family! She seems to really like being around people but is okay left in her pen alone at night and during the day when we leave the house. This beautiful, fluffy girl has such a sweet demeanor and would make the ideal companion!

Hi! My name is Astro and I am from Missouri.

Hi! My name is Lady Bird and I am from Missouri. From the foster: My beautiful foster, LadyBird, (we call her Lady), is a 8 yr old ball of fluff that likes to run laps around me or my dogs outside. She sleeps in her kennel at night and loves to snuggle with me on the couch. She gets along with my small dogs (all under 15 #) and our sons golden retriever. She might bark on occasion but she has a very quiet bark. She only seems to bark when my dogs do. Maybe they are talking. She is shy at first but a very gentle girl who just wants love. She weighs around 10# at most.

Hi! My name is Huckleberry Hound and I am from Missouri. From the foster: Huckleberry Hound is a very sweet and playful little pup. He likes to play with the other small dog in his foster home, and totally loves snuggling in his foster parents lap. His favorite thing is laying on his back in foster moms lap for tummy rubs. Huckleberry is a normal mischievous puppy who can get in places you'd never expect because of his small size. He'll need a "puppy-proofed" home to ensure his safety. Huckleberry isn't fond of being alone, and does best kenneling near his foster parent at night. He would appreciate another dog friend in the home to keep him company, or not being left alone. Huckleberry doesn't mind the cold weather, and enjoys chasing leaves outdoors. If you've been waiting for a small snuggle buddy, apply to meet Huckleberry Hound.

Hi! My name is Skye and I am from Missouri. From the foster: Initially Skye was very shy and fearful, but now he is goofy and full of energy. Even though Skye is timid and prefers to stay just out of arms reach, he craves companionship and likes to be near us. Despite his age, Skye looks and acts like a spunky little puppy. He'd love a little furry friend to help keep him company, he tries to play with his foster siblings but they ignore him (they're also 10x his size). He sleeps in his crate at night. He doesn't bark much at night anymore, but during the day will bark when left alone. We are still working on establishing a potty routine, he's been doing well on picking it up. This guy might be a little older, but he is truly young at heart.

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.  DOB: 09/01/2020 Requires another dog in home: Yes  Okay with dogs of all sizes: Yes Okay with cats: Unknown Okay with children under 12 years old: Yes, but very fearful Weight: 12.6 lbs Requires a fenced yard:   Yes, needs a fenced yard Note: dogs must always be leashed whenever outside of a contained area. Invisible/ underground fencing is not recommended for most rescue dogs. Hello! I’m Beans & Rice…no, I’m not really food…that’s just my name! Hee, hee! I am a stunning albeit VERY shy & fearful young adult female Pomapoo. I enjoy chewing on rubbery things like bully sticks & Nyla bones, eating freeze dried chicken & liver treats, and when I think nobody’s watching me, I love to sneak around and explore everything! Hee, hee!! I’m working on potty training and although I’m leash trained, I will need my new yard to be securely fenced to ensure my safety. I also know what “wait”, “outside”, and “go potty” mean so you can see I’m quite smart! I’m a quiet girl who has not met any cats or larger dogs and I’m fearful of loud noises, commotion, & people. In fact, although I’m good with kids, I’m so fearful of people I don’t even like to be touched. That said, since coming to live with foster mom I have made, what I consider, a LOT of progress although VERY SLOWLY and on my own terms. I am most comfortable in my safe spot (dog bed) where I can observe the goings on around me. Foster mom was SO excited that I not only tried out the dog bed but love it! See…I’m making progress…It's the small things am I right!?! Anyway, I have also started to initiate play with my two small senior canine sibs, but it must be said that I’m not a fan of the puppy mom’s fostering. Additionally, I have tolerated foster mom putting harnesses that make that terrifying Velcro sound & cones on my neck; giving me oral liquid medications; bathing & brushing my beautiful coat; and trimming my nails…all of it!! So clearly, I’m trying diligently to conquer my fears because honestly, I want nothing more than to trust people and be comfortable in my world! I am a preciously sweet non-aggressive girl who truly deserves unconditional love & security from a patient fur-ever family that not only promises to NEVER give up on me but who will give me the time & space I need. Yes, it may take quite a bit of time for me to be comfortable and learn to trust but I assure you not only am I worth it, but I will love you more than you could ever imagine!!! Love, Beans & Rice *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.     ***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.
