Story
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.    Michael is a quiet, gentle little Yorkie with a soft soul who is still learning that people can be kind.   He is naturally very shy and cautious, and new people or sudden movements can feel overwhelming to him. When approached too quickly, his instinct is to run and find a safe space. But underneath that fear is a truly sweet and even-tempered dog who has never shown any signs of aggression—even when being picked up or handled for things like baths.   Michael is also a smart little guy who is already starting to show small but meaningful signs of trust. He will now take treats gently from your hand, a big step forward for him, and it’s clear that with patience, he will continue to build confidence at his own pace.   He enjoys the company of other dogs and feels comforted by them. He greets other dogs nicely and would likely benefit from a calm, confident canine companion to help show him the ropes and make him feel more secure.   Michael walks nicely on a leash and does well going outside for potty breaks, though he is still learning that all pottying should happen outdoors. He will need continued guidance and consistency as he settles into a routine.   Loud noises can be scary for him, so he’s looking for a quieter, low-traffic home where he can feel safe and not overwhelmed. A patient, understanding adopter who will let him move at his own pace will be key to helping him truly blossom. Because of his timid nature, he would do best in a home without young or unpredictable children.   One of Michael’s simple joys is chewing on a good marrow bone, and of course, he never says no to a tasty treat.   Michael may not be the dog who runs up to greet you right away—but for someone willing to give him the time, space, and love he needs, he has the potential to form a deep and meaningful bond. Watching him grow in confidence and learn to trust will be incredibly rewarding. All Michael needs is someone willing to go slow…and show him that the world can be a safe and loving place.   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.

Story
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.  McFly is a 9&#226&#128&#145pound senior Yorkie mix with the heart (and energy!) of a much younger dog. He’s a lively, affectionate little companion who loves to cuddle, play with his toys, and follow his person around the house. He’s especially obsessed with balls, tug toys, and anything that squeaks — though fluffy squeaker toys don’t stand a chance with him. He’s a smart boy who knows sit, stay, come, down, go potty, and leave it. He’ll “tell” you when it’s time for treats, potty breaks, playtime, or snuggles, and he even gives hugs. McFly is crate trained, potty trained (outside and on pads), and enjoys the freedom of a fenced yard. McFly does have a few special needs that his adopter should be comfortable managing. He requires a low&#226&#128&#145fat diet, and his foster gives him vitamin B and probiotics. He can be protective of his belongings and may guard food or items he considers “his,” so he’ll benefit from continued positive&#226&#128&#145reinforcement training with an experienced owner. He also startles easily if approached suddenly, so he does best when people move slowly and let him know they’re coming. Despite these quirks, McFly is incredibly loving. He snuggles with other small dogs, brings his toys over when he wants to play, and bonds deeply with his person. He’s goofy, affectionate, and full of personality — the kind of dog who makes you laugh and feel loved every single day. If you’re an experienced dog owner looking for a sweet, spirited companion who will adore you with his whole heart, McFly is ready to be your little shadow and your best friend.

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 Underdog Headquarters (3345 Dakota Ave, St. Louis Park, 55416) on Saturday, April 11th from 10:30 am - 12:00 pm. Please email inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com for questions regarding the dogs. Matcha is a 12‑pound Yorkie mix with a heart full of love and a personality that’s all about her person. She’s an incredibly affectionate, cuddly little girl who wants nothing more than to be close to her human. She has a playful side and enjoys toys and fetch, but her favorite place in the world is curled up right next to you. She gets along well with other small dogs, though she doesn’t rely on them for comfort — she’s truly a “people dog” who prefers her human over canine company. She’s gentle, intelligent, and wonderfully well‑mannered. Matcha knows all her basic commands, is 100% potty trained, walks beautifully on a leash, and is easy to groom. She stands patiently for baths, nail trims, and even long grooming sessions. Matcha's biggest challenge is being left alone.  She is quiet and waits by your exit door if left in the home without closing her in a room, or worse, using a kennel.  If she's restrained or isolated, she will bark nonstop and fight for freedom.  Because of this, a family who is home most or all of the time is best for this love bug.  She also will not reliably potty while on a leash, so she requires a fenced in area to be successful. She’s cautious with new people at first but warms up gently. She’s great with kids, good with small dogs, and a lovely match for seniors or anyone wanting a devoted companion. She’s quiet, even‑tempered, eager to please, and incredibly loving. If you’re home often and looking for the sweetest little shadow who will adore you endlessly, Matcha is your girl. She will return every bit of love you give her — and then some.

Story
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, my name is Josh, and I’m a loving Yorkie who's 6 years old. I weigh around 5 pounds.  I have a little bit of a medical situation that requires some special care, but my foster family says I’m worth it. I have been diagnosed with protein-losing enteropathy (PLE), which means I need to follow a special veterinary prescription diet and eat 3-4 times a day. I also need B12 injections every 2-4 weeks, which I take like a champ. Because I don't have any teeth, I can only eat soft food (my prescription food is a yummy wet food), and I may need a face clean-up after each meal. I'll need to stay on my special diet and keep getting these injections for the rest of my life, but it doesn’t stop me from being the sweetest dog ever! So beyond my medical issues – I need you to know that I LOVE snuggling! My favorite thing in the world is to curl up on a heated blanket and snuggle with my foster parents and my little foster brother. I’m super attached to my foster mom and always want to be in her lap or in her arms! I am still learning how to be a dog, and I copy my foster brother's behavior (good and bad!). I get anxious when I’m left alone, so I need another small, mellow dog in the home for company. Another dog will give me confidence and learn to trust people. I get a little worried around new people. The commotion that comes with kids tends to scare me and I might nip. I really prefer grown up humans.  There are other dog things that I am working on. I don’t like being in a kennel. It scares me, and I will cry until I’m let out, so I’ll need help and patience learning about the crate. We are also working on leash training and potty training, but brrrrr, it is so cold outside, so I haven’t practiced much. I do require a fenced yard in my forever home since I am not leash trained. Despite my little quirks, I am the absolute best snuggler ever. I could snuggle all day long and be completely happy. I sleep a lot and, once I bond with you, I’ll be one of the most loyal companions you could ever ask for. If you have a calm, small dog and can give me the attention and care I need, I’d love to be your forever friend! *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.

Story
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! My name is Tula, and I am a 7 pound female yorkie and about 6 years old. I can’t wait until I go to my furever home. I am  very brave girl and getting used to living with people, in fact I like the company of people, but I will back away if you approach me. I am a little cautious, but foster mom says I am getting braver everyday!  I love puzzles and treat dispenser toys, but my all-time favorite treat is dried chicken hearts! Yummy! Other than being a little cautious in new situations, I don’t have any other big fears! I’ve never been around young children, but I’m sure I would love them just as much as I love my foster mom! I am working very hard on learning how to go potty outside, and I was doing great, but then it got so cold, and I can’t seem to spend enough time outside to be able to go potty without getting too cold! I am comfortable sleeping in my crate even though I get a little anxious when I first get in. I am not trained to walk on a leash, and I only go potty in my fenced backyard, so I told my foster mom to make sure my furever home has a fenced backyard. I like to bark when someone comes to the door just to make sure they are nice! I also like to bark at night sometimes, but not all the time! I have never been around cats, but am a gentle girl so we might be fine. I like to play with dogs sometimes but I get jealous of them so I'd probably be best as an only dog. Though I am cautious of you and who I play with, I know I am the sweet little girl you and your family have been looking for. I have so much love to give, and I can’t wait until I’m in my furever home singing along to my favorite song “That doggie in the Window?”.

YOU CAN HELP: Not able to foster or adopt right now? Please consider sponsoring an Underdog. Your donation will help us buy dog food and pay for medical costs. Visit this link  www.underdogrescuemn.com/donate   to donate.  (Please note: A Paypal account is not necessary to use Paypal. When you get to the Paypal page, just use the link to the left of their login to make your donation via Paypal without an account.) March 7, 2026, 10:39 am
