Pumi puppies and dogs in St Louis Park, Minnesota

Maggie Mae aka Margo is an adoption return in need of a foster or foster to adopt home as soon as possible.    Below is some information provided to us from her adoptive family. Although it was 4 years ago that she was in foster care with us,, she did do very well with the resident dog in her foster home. Her adoptive family has stated she can be dog selective and does also seem to want to be more of a loner than an integral part of the family dynamic as a whole.   Margo is an incredibly low maintenance dog. Providing her with food, water, and land to roam, explore and protect, and she is in heaven. Her navy-seal level alertness and observation skills are amazing, and she takes SO much pride in protecting our family and land. Her happiest times have been off leash, walking by my side, in rivers, lakes, and large parks, that were quiet. She went off to school for 5 weeks, where she learned to heal, sit, and stay, while walking on her owner’s left side. But being that she is a free spirit, she doesn’t like leashes, and prefers to roam and explore at her own pace and discretion.  https://www.rescuecrew.org/how-to-become-a-foster.html   ##1994159##

Max is a big goofball of a German Shepherd that loves playing fetch. Big ol’ tennis balls are his absolute favorite toy and he will run back and forth with them longer than you will want to throw them. When playing, he operates at high energy but is also good at chilling at home and relaxing. In fact, Max is a huge cuddle monster that melts to the floor when you pet him and thrives on physical contact, praise, and interactions with his people. I would call him medium low energy overall with occasional spurts of high energy play.  Right now, we are working with Max to reinforce solid basic obedience commands such as sit, lay down, shake, leave it, get it, down and stay. Max is a smart boy that is quick to learn and enjoys training. He would love a home where he can continue to learn and bond strongly with his people through fun mental activities. Clocking it at 110lbs he is a big boy but is very gentle for his size. He is friendly with other dogs and loves to play so another big dog in the household already would work well, but isn’t necessary so long as he has people that enjoy playing with him and giving him lots of love.  ##2013925##

I'm a very handsome Miniature Poodle, and I'm discovering the joys of comfort and love in my foster home. Each day brings me more confidence, and I'm eager to share my overflowing love with a special someone—maybe that's you! I am a bit timid, sudden movements, commotion, and loud noises still make me a bit uneasy. However, I'm getting better at facing these fears every day. When foster mom is still, I'm all about those loving pets and cuddles. But if she's on the move, I keep my distance—I even bolt if she walks toward me. I know commands like "outside" and "stop," and leash and potty training are still on my to-learn list. I'm 95% potty trained, especially with a consistent routine. A fenced yard is a must for my adventurous spirit. I'd love to have a canine companion to show me the ropes, help me 'dog' properly, and boost my confidence. We're working on some manners, and my foster pals are excellent teachers. Walking on a leash needs some practice, and a confident pal by my side would be perfect. Despite being easily startled and a bit hand-shy, I've found joy in playing with toys, furry friends, and even those mysterious creatures called cats. I'm all about giving kisses, nibbling fingers, and enjoying ear scratches. Zoomies are my specialty, especially in the fenced yard or on the stairs. I've got some manners to polish up, like waiting for my turn and distinguishing between toys and household items – hee hee! 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!

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.  Want to meet me? Come to the Underdog Headquarters (3345 Dakota Ave, St. Louis Park, 55416) for an Adoption Event on Sunday April 28th 11:45 am-12:45 pm. Please email inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com for questions regarding the dogs.   I’m fairly new here but have been gaining confidence by the day!  As with most dogs, when I first meet someone, I’m a little shy and timid.  I’m really curious inside and want to be near so it’ll just need a bit of time to know that you’re a safe space for me.  I’ve been learning about trust and now I’m more apt to stay put than run, when approached.  Once I’m picked up I just melt right in for love.  That’ll likely be my personality all the time once I know you’re my people.  I’ve just started sleeping on my foster’s leg and inching my way up to hopefully a lap soon. In my spare time I enjoy eating and playing with other dogs.  I’m trying hard to follow along and go potty outside but as close as I am to getting the hang of it, I might need a little transition time to learn it at my forever home too. I do well in the kennel and am working on going inside on command.  Won’t that be a neat trick?! I do need a fenced yard in my forever home. When it is time to put on a leash and harness, I get worried. We are practicing how to stay put nicely to put on a harness without bolting.  HAHA  I’m tricky like that.  I haven’t really had any true leash walking experience so that’s something we can practice.  I do know the command for “stay” which is what I’m told when they want to wrangle me in the harness.  I have been snarky with some of the other dogs here when it comes to my food.  I have to tell them to buzz off, that it’s mine.  That seems to be all it is, as I’m not aggressive.  I can be an only dog too if you’d like. I’m just a sweetheart (so I’m told) and quiet overall.  I am still a little timid but not as much as I was when I first arrived.  I hope to find my forever home so I can have all the love I deserve. *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.

Please email inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com for questions regarding the dogs.     Hey there, friends! I'm Miles, the sweetest Mini Poodle you'll ever meet, and I'm ready to be your loyal companion for life! I've got so much love to give, and I'm not shy about showing it! People are my absolute favorite, and I warm up to them faster than you can say "treat." When I'm happy, my whole body wags, especially my tail—it's a tail-wagging masterpiece! Toys are my jam! I can't get enough of them, and I might have a small collection going on. Sharing is caring, but when it comes to toys, I want them all to myself. I'm a real homebody who loves being around my favorite humans. I've been known to get a bit anxious when I can't see my people, but who can blame me? Separation anxiety is a thing for me, and I'm working on it. Give me a backyard, and I'm in doggy heaven! I love racing around, feeling the wind in my fur, and exploring all the exciting scents. And, let me tell you, I've got the zoomies down to an art form. When nature calls, I'm all about #1 in the grass. But for #2, I've got a specific mulched, private area in mind. A dog's gotta have some dignity, right? I've got big dreams of being the center of attention with one or two retired humans. I want to be part of all your adventures and soak up all the love you've got to give. Sleeping in a bed with my human? Sounds like heaven to me. I may have my quirks, but who doesn't? What I promise is a friendship that lasts a lifetime. Super chill, super sweet, and super smart—I'm the whole package! *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.
