Rat Terrier puppies and dogs in Minneapolis, Minnesota

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.   Bailey is a sweet, 3 year old Rat Terrier mix.  She is a very sweet girl, has lived with other dogs, had done well with a male and a female her size or bigger. She has done very well at the dog park (and really enjoys it- gets her run on).  Bailey should go to an adult only home. We are looking for a relaxed home that understands the Rat Terrier! :) She is very sweet, but has nipped at children (not constantly, but had random incident) and did nip at a man walking his dog (and the dog) when she escaped the foster home she was staying in. But you could say that was under duress and confusion. She is very easy to care for, is housetrained, can live with another dog. We haven't tested her with cats yet. She likes to sleep with people, she likes to look out the window, she is a quiet gentle dog, (unless she sees some stimulus then she will bark).  Interested in adopting?

We are a retired couple. We have been traveling extensively and just bought a home in Gulfport. All the traveling is hard on Chachi, he needs a place to be without moving around so much. Chachi is a loving little dog who loves to snuggle with you. He can be on his own at home. He likes his "home" kennel. He is good with people once he gets to know them, same with kids. At first he can be very nervous and barking at strangers. He is good on walks and is overjoyed to ride in the car. He is mostly good with other dogs, sometimes barks at larger black dogs. He came from Texas where he was raised by a family that could no longer keep him. We have had him three years and we do love him, but think he needs a more stable home life. Not so much traveling around.

He's definitely a cuddle bug and is very content staying close to my body.  This little guy weighs in at only 12 lbs. A great lap dog! Perfect for apartment living or the best friend to a senior.  He will need walks and regular exercise.  He's never messed in his crate and when let out in the morning I direct him to "outside" and never a mess he's made!  My assumption is he's young. Keeping a soft toy nearby is a must.  Since arriving Biscuit has been open to meeting new dogs and very nice about it.  He's new to cats and is afraid or cautious of them at this time.  Did I mention he's a Rat Terrier and is liver and white? Beautiful liver nose and eye lids while his eye color is a gorgeous orange to yellow.  Biscuit is a looker and will quickly steal your heart.    Biskit does struggle with some resource guarding and because of this needs a home with adults only.    Biskit is from a local impound.

Found on the streets of Texas with his siblings several months ago, Duke is still waiting for his happy ending and is excited to find it in Minnesota! He loves treats and is eager to please, which makes training him a fun and rewarding experience. Duke enjoys running and exploring the backyard, where he can let his curiosity shine. He has the cutest funny face when he's intrigued by something new, making him an absolute joy to watch. Though he can be shy at first, Duke warms up with patience and love, and he will thrive in a home that understands his need for time to adjust. Because of his initial shyness, older more considerate children, who understand his need for space, will be best for him. If you're looking for a loyal, gentle dog who just needs a little encouragement, Duke is ready to be your new best friend! Duke of Earl is from Texas.

Cloudy, affectionately called Lucy, is a sweet, snuggly girl who loves nothing more than cuddling up with her foster parents and their two small pups at night. She’s a quiet sleeper who adores cozy nights with her people.  Cloudy is still learning about play, and it’s clear she’s blossoming in her foster home, showing a newfound love for fun that suggests she may not have had many opportunities to play before. She’s not crate trained, but she’s good about using potty pads if she has to go when her foster mom isn’t home. Though she’s not thrilled about walking on a leash yet, with a little patience and love, her foster believes she’ll come around. One thing’s for sure—Cloudy thrives with companionship. She hasn’t been left alone yet, always having another animal around. As long as she has a buddy (whether human or furry), she’s a happy pup. Cloudy hasn’t been kid-tested, but with her gentle nature, she’s ready to find the perfect home that will give her the love and attention she deserves. Cloudy is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 11/2/2024 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 5pm and 9pm. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame.  Since they haven’t arrived yet, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start’s Foster to Adopt (FTA) Program. Click here to learn more about the FTA program. Once they get to Minnesota, they might require further veterinary care. Ruff Start’s veterinary suite is located in Princeton, MN, and, as the foster, you will be required to transport your dog to and from these vetting appointments.

Oscar is a sweet, loving boy. He is 9 and we saved him from a rescue shelter almost 5 years ago. He is great with our original dog. He is a bit skittish with people at first and likes his independence. He loves squeaky toys. He does have some challenges that stem from his puppyhood. He is difficult to corral sometimes, though once you get the leash on him he’s ok. He is shy at first but he does warm up over time. (He’s fine with our best friends and their dog when they bring him over.) He barks when scared and does mark his territory like all males, in all honesty he still struggles a bit in that regard - he benefits from outdoor space for bathroom breaks. In a nutshell he’s a little lover with a big heart. We are hoping to find him a home full of love. We love him so very much but cannot take him to England with us when we move.

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.    Hi there, I’m Claire! I’m a shy and timid 4-year-old terrier, and I weigh about 19 pounds. Although I am very shy, I am sweet and gentle when I feel safe, just know that may take time and patience. Right now, I get nervous around loud noises or too much commotion, and I’m still learning to trust the world around me. If you’re patient with me, I promise I’ll warm up and show you how brave I can be. I do need a fenced yard in my forever home as I am not leash trained. I freeze and don’t know what to do! Also, I love having the space in a yard to spend time with the other dogs. I’m crate trained and find comfort in small spaces, like my kennel or the cozy bed in the corner. When it’s time to eat, I’m a bit shy about finishing my food if someone’s watching, but I never leave a bite behind—especially if it’s something yummy like cheese or meats! Oh, and I can’t resist a little wet food or an egg in the morning. I’d feel much more comfortable in a home with another dog, especially a confident one my size who can help me gain some confidence. I’m really just looking for a calm, peaceful home with someone who’s patient and kind. I have so much potential to grow into a more relaxed and secure dog with the right person by my side. All I need is love, patience and some time to adjust. Maybe you’re the one who can help me come out of my shell? *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 adopter’s 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.

Hey there! I’m Bertrand, but you can call me Bert! I’m a gentle soul on the lookout for a loving family to share my days with. At 5 years old, I’m a mild-mannered pup who loves nothing more than a good nap on a comfy couch.  I’m proud to say I’m housetrained and crate trained, and I promise to be on my best behavior when left uncrated. I’m also a fast learner, so I’m ready to pick up new tricks and be the best companion ever!  I’m motivated by treats and positive verbal responses; I love it when people call me a good boy. I get along fabulously with other dogs, making me a great addition to any family with furry friends.  My awesome foster family has a super chill cat who’s used to meeting new pups, so it doesn’t mind when I bark or sniff around! But I do love to chase things that run, so I’d be happiest in a home without any cats that might get startled.  And sometimes I get so excited that I jump so a house without really small kids might be best.  I love to play outside with older, more sturdy kids though!If you’re looking for a sweet boy who enjoys chill days filled with cuddles and the occasional playtime, I’m your pup!  I can’t wait to meet you!     Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.  or    *The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person!  If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called 'cute' as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification! Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.  *Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.  Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks. Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance. //
