Sheepadoodle puppies and dogs in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Age: 6 years old Weight: 60lbs Dog friendly: Yes Cat friendly: No Kid friendly: Older kids only. Potty trained: Yes Crate trained: Can be crated, but prefers to free roam and is trustworthy left alone. *Physical Fenced Yard Required* Adoption fee: $495 Meet Lisa—a wonderfully goofy, deeply affectionate dog who gives her whole heart to her people. Once you’re part of Lisa’s inner circle, you’re in for enthusiastic greetings, full-body cuddles, ridiculous antics, and some of the most expressive facial reactions you’ll ever see. She has a huge capacity for love. Lisa came into rescue after living with severe, painful eye and ear infections. Following extensive veterinary care, including several surgeries, she is feeling better and ready to enjoy life with a family of her own. There is so much to love about Lisa: She loves being close to her people. She will bury her head into you with all her love just pouring into her person. She is a lap poodle, all 60lbs of her. She is silly, playful, and endlessly entertaining. She is potty trained and can be trusted to free-roam when left alone. She rides beautifully in the car and hops right in. She does well at the groomer. She doesn’t counter surf or guard food or other resources. She calmly passes other dogs on walks, even dogs barking at her. She has excellent recall and is highly motivated by treats. She loves toys, balls, walks, and a good game of chase with canine friends. She has undergone a gastropexy, which greatly reduces the risk of the dangerous stomach twisting associated with bloat in deep-chested dogs. She is also pretty lazy and sleeps most of the day: a 45min-1hr walk a day and mental enrichment puzzles, lick mats, and a chew project are all that she needs to be fulfilled. She does not need another dog in the home, but she would love canine friends who can visit. Lisa’s ideal home will be a calm, predictable single-family home in a suburban or rural neighborhood with a physically fenced yard. She needs a family willing to introduce new people gradually and proactively manage her with people she doesn’t know. It would be best for her to go a home with very few visitors. Lisa has responded incredibly well to positive reinforcement based training and continues to make progress. Lisa is available for a 2-4 week trial adoption to ensure she fits into her forever home.

Hi, my name is Fred, and I’m a fun, affectionate guy who is loving this new life! I’m great on leash and very excited to meet new people and dogs. I absolutely LOVE to play—especially fetch! Balls, please! I also enjoy a good game of tug-of-war and could play with toys all day. I’m wonderful with kids and love being part of the family. Their excitement can sometimes get me excited too, so I’m still learning how to keep my manners when things get busy. I’m a pretty good listener and already know “sit,” and I’m learning more every day. I’m also very good about dropping things I shouldn’t have once I’m reminded. Since I’m still figuring out this whole house-living thing, I need some supervision. I’m curious and may decide that shoes, things on the table, or items on the counter look like fun toys. With consistency and guidance, I’m learning what’s mine and what’s not. I’m very close to being potty trained as long as I’m kept on a regular schedule. During the day, when the house is quiet, I can settle down nicely and relax. My crate manners are still a work in progress. I bark when I’m first crated and can take some time to settle, so I’ll need a family who is patient and willing to help me learn that my crate is a safe, comfortable place. I’m affectionate, playful, eager to learn, and just an all-around fun guy! I’m looking for a family who will continue helping me learn good manners while giving me plenty of love, playtime, and—of course—lots of opportunities to fetch! Fred is such a fun guy, and he can’t wait to find his forever family! ❤️ 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.
