Yorkie puppies and dogs in Falcon Heights, Minnesota

Meet Chili! 🌶️❤️ This tiny 6-pound, 10+ year old Yorkie is as sweet and snuggly as they come. Chili’s whole world changed when his owner had to move into assisted living, and sadly no family members could take him. Now he’s hoping for a loving foster or forever home where he can feel safe and cherished again. Chili is a gentle little soul who loves to be held and adored. He’s great with other dogs and would be perfectly happy to share his home with a calm companion. He has a cataract in one eye, but it doesn’t slow him down or dampen his sweet personality. He’ll also be getting a dental cleaning when he’s neutered to help him feel his very best. If you have room in your heart for a senior sweetheart, Chili would love nothing more than to be someone’s treasured companion again.

Meet King! This handsome little guy is a 4-year-old, 10-pound Yorkie who was surrendered to us along with his buddy Prince when their owner became pregnant. King has taken everything in stride and is already thriving at the rescue! He’s potty trained, friendly with other dogs, and loves meeting new people. King has an outgoing, happy personality and is absolutely adorable just as he is—but he’s going to look even more stunning once one of our wonderful grooming partners donates her time to help brush out his mats. King is sweet, social, and ready for a forever home where he’ll be treated like the royalty he is. 👑

Meet Prince! This adorable 9-month-old, 12-pound Yorkie was surrendered to us along with his buddy King when their owner became pregnant. Prince is a bright, lively little guy who has been doing great at the rescue and winning everyone over with his sweet personality. He’s potty trained, friendly with other dogs, and loving with all people. Prince is energetic and playful—always ready for fun, zoomies, or a good toy session! He’s already cute as can be, and he’ll look even more irresistible after one of our amazing grooming partners donates her time to help brush out his mats. Prince is joyful, affectionate, and ready to bring lots of love and entertainment to his forever home.

Belle is literally the Belle of the Ball. She is a sweet happy girl who loves to snuggle as well as do some tiny zoomies around the house. She is a good little eater and adores treat time when we com in from outside. We are still working on potty training but she just recently came into rescue so I expect she will continue to make strides. She does great with the resident dogs who are as small and larger than she is. Belle is estimated to be 6 months old and 7 lbs. Since we don’t know the dog’s actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested. If you are interested in meeting this dog please complete the adoption application on our website at https://safehandsrescue.org/adoption-process/ and then we can contact you about setting up a meeting. We are also holding the following upcoming adoption events! Please note: All dogs/puppies will not be at every event, and some may find their home prior to the event.

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.  Keep checking back for upcoming events I will be attending!         Elodie is the perfect blend of snuggly sweetheart and playful, happy puppy. She’ll curl into your arms, gaze at you with pure love, and shower you with excited little kisses—then bounce off to chase a toy, play with dogs of any size, or proudly parade around with a bone in her mouth. She’s always ready for fun, whether it’s fetch, exploring the yard, or chewing on her favorite toys. This smart girl already knows sit and is picking up potty training quickly with a consistent schedule. She keeps her kennel clean and is learning that it’s a safe and cozy place to nap and enjoy her meals. She may protest a bit when first going in, so a home without shared walls is best, but she settles down much faster now—especially after a good play session or walk and with a chew to keep her busy. Elodie would thrive with an active family who loves walks, hikes, and maybe even wants a future running buddy. She loves praise and beams with pride when she does her business outside—she’ll even trot back to you and gently hop against your leg for a belly rub and a “good girl!” Like many puppies, she’s still learning what’s OK to chew. She’s been known to nibble on shoes (so tuck your favorites away!), and she may mouth tiny kid fingers, but she’s redirecting well and improving every day. She hasn’t chewed anything else she shouldn’t and is wonderfully food-motivated, which makes training fun and easy. Elodie doesn’t need a fenced yard, and she could happily be an only dog or join a home with a friendly canine companion. If you’re looking for a loving, bright, active puppy who will adore you endlessly, Elodie is your girl 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 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.  T his 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.

Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.  Harvest is a ten-pound bundle of gentle sweetness wrapped in a medium-fluffy, slightly scruffy Yorkie-mix package. He arrived unsure of the world, tiptoeing around like a little woodland creature who wasn’t entirely convinced life outside the forest was safe. But wow—this boy has blossomed fast. In just a few days, he’s gone from nervous and cautious to happy, affectionate, and gloriously goofy, and watching that transformation has been pure magic. Harvest is a shadow dog in the most endearing way. He chooses a favorite human and follows them around like an adorable, fuzzy personal assistant. And if his chosen person dares to leave the room, he immediately begins a cheerful search and will happily settle for the next available human. Company, attention, pets—he wants it all, and he wants it gently, sweetly, and often. He’s a surprisingly outdoorsy little guy who believes snow is one of Earth’s greatest inventions. Roll in it? Yes. Jump in it? Absolutely. Walk, sniff, frolic, spin in joyful circles? Sign him up. He doesn’t even care if it’s cold—he’s too busy living his best winter-wonderland life. Inside the home, Harvest is quiet, polite, and very close to being fully potty trained as long as he stays on a nice predictable schedule. He sleeps well in his crate, rides nicely in the car, and is working on his leash skills with enthusiasm. He’s treat-selective, but once he finds something he likes, he acts like it’s gourmet cuisine prepared just for him. He can still be timid around new people and loud noises, but he warms up beautifully with time, patience, and kindness. He hasn’t met kids, cats, or dogs in his foster home yet, but his personality suggests he’ll adapt well as long as introductions are gentle and he’s given space to feel safe. Harvest is the kind of dog who quietly steals your heart. He’s soft, silly, loyal, and full of potential. Whoever adopts him is getting a truly wonderful companion—one who has already proven he is brave, resilient, and oh-so ready to love and be loved.
