Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier puppies and dogs in Waconia, Minnesota

Hi My name is Jojo From his foster: Jojo is a sweet, old man! He's lived a long life, so he knows what he likes and doesn't like! He loves attention but he doesn't like sharing it! He's been known to get a little snarly when his foster brother gets scratches from the humans! What can he say, Jojo loves to be the center of attention!! He's a great lap dog. Jojo is not a big fan of his crate, but does love to be left home alone with his foster brother! If he isn't with another dog he will howl and howl! Because of this, he would do best with another furry friend in the house. The furry friend should be smaller, non-reactive, and submissive. He hasn't been tested with cats, but I think he would prefer to be without them. He's got a very high prey drive and barks at pretty much anything he sees that isn't a dog his size! He is not a fan of big dogs either, but could possibly warm up to them with slow intros. He loves to snuggle up with his person and sleeps a lot. He enjoys walks outside, but he's definitely not running buddy! Jojo has arthritis and does best when he can be active but nothing too strenuous. He has a bit of a difficult time with stairs and often falls while using them due to a weak hip. Because of this, he would do best in a house with very few stairs. Jojo has cataracts in both eyes which limits his vision. He cannot see in the dark and becomes very afraid. We carry him when it is dark, and he should not be by stairs when it is dark. Jojo wears belly bands inside when left alone for more than an hour or so. He's got an elderly bladder! He sometimes has poo accidents inside too. Jojo has some health concerns that we are keeping an eye on. He has fatty masses, hair loss, and low pressure in his eyes. He has allergies of some sort that seem to be slightly improved with Apoquel. The vet says he will need a dental cleaning and probably some extractions. To sum it all up, Jojo's ideal forever home would include: -One other small dog in the home (dog must be willing to let Jojo rule the roost and get all the attention he wants!) -Limited stairs or ability to block them off -Someone willing to follow up with his medical needs -A family who loves to cuddle! Overall, he is a special and sweet boy! He is a big time snuggler and will give you all his love!

Hi! My name is Sebastian and I am from Minnesota. From the foster: Sebastian is a sweet old man. He's very active for his age but also enjoys a good nap. He LOVES to have his head and ears scratched and will insist you continue scratching. He gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home and runs with them to announce the arrival of the mail carrier. He has small tennis balls that he likes to chase and play with. Sebastian loves his dog beds and will also rest in his crate. He doesn't jump up on furniture but likes to be picked up and put next to you on the couch for some pets and scratches. He loves to be outside and is good about eliminating outside when put outside but doesn't have a signal to go out. He wears a belly band to help prevent messes inside. We haven't gone on walks outside but when the weather warms up he may enjoy neighborhood strolls. He gets very excited when his foster mom puts on shoes - hoping to go for an adventure. He had a dental the beginning of February and is now a toothless wonder with the cutest 'tongue out' smile. The good news is he no longer has mouth pain and there is no need for expensive dentals in the future! Sebastian had surgery to remove bladder stones and will need to be on a prescription diet to prevent the bladder stones from re-forming. He likes his prescription kibble but does yearn for table scraps (sadly, no!). Although Sebastian is older he still can hear! And, the really amazing thing is that he is a good listener! Is a calm, gentle, older pup what's missing from your current adventures? Sebastian loves to meet new friends! Medical Bio: "Hi, I'm Sebastian, a senior sweetie looking for my forever home! I had a few medical struggles while I have been with The Bond Between that my future adopters should be aware of before taking me home. I had a mass that needed evaluation and it was determined that I needed a dental procedure. During my first few weeks in my foster home I also started to show concerning urinary symptoms such as blood in my urine. It was determined that I had crystals and stones in my bladder. I had an urgent surgery to address the stones as well as get the mass removed. The initial cytology showed cells that were consistent with a cancerous mass. After this surgery I was started on a urinary diet that I will need to be on for a minimum of another month or as much as lifelong to manage any further possible urinary complications/stone formation. The mass was fully removed with good margins and The BB Vet is confident that this is a curative measure for this type of mass. My future adopter should monitor me for any further masses that may arise and have them evaluated by a primary care veterinarian. My dental procedure took place in February and I have been doing well ever since! Hope to meet some new people soon to find my forever home in my golden years!"

I take a while to warm up to new people, and I’m still unsure about my foster family, but I’m learning to trust them. My foster mom says I’m getting better, and with gentleness and patience, I even let her hold me every day! Oh, and I’m a bit of a foodie—I love a good meal, and I love my treats. I really brighten up when I smell something tasty! Food is definitely the way to my heart. I like other dogs, especially those around my size. I’m still not quite sure about playing, but I love to snuggle and hang out with other four-legged friends. My foster family hasn’t introduced me to cats yet. I’d do best in an adult-only home, or in a home with calm, older kids who will be patient with me. New things scare me, and I might try to run and hide if my humans are too exuberant! I am crate trained, and I feel safe and cozy there. I’m working on my potty training, and I’ve figured out that if I bark at the door, my foster family will let me outside to do my business. I also do well with a schedule. I really like my fenced back yard, and since I haven’t been leash trained yet, I get most of my zoomies out there. Plus, the fence keeps unexpected, scary things away. Someday, I might be brave enough to go for a walk, but I don’t feel ready right now. All I need is a patient, understanding family to help me conquer my fears. When I get to know you and understand that you love me, I’ll love you right back. I’m a total sweetheart, just wait and see! I’m so excited to find my fur-ever 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 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.

I’m Bourbon, a very handsome adult male Yorkie. I don’t play with toys, but I enjoy gazing out the window, saying hello to visitors or other dogs, getting praises, sitting close to my people (although I’m not much for cuddling), and I LOVE running super-fast zoomies in the yard so I will need a fence. To tell ya the truth, I am an incredibly shy/skittish boy. I mean I’m very cautious of men; I’m reluctant to go up/down steps; I freeze when on the leash; and I don’t like loud noises, commotion, and sudden movements so kids are not a good fit for me. Additionally, I have a sensitive stomach so foster mom currently gives me a probiotic and acid reducer and though I don’t know if I will need them long term, they seem to be helping now. I have no experience with cats, but I do fine with other dogs and I’m a smart boy who’s not only kennel/crate trained but I know what “come”, “kennel/crate”, and “go potty” mean and I’m good about doing my business outside on a schedule.  The only thing missing from my life is YOU… a patient, unconditionally loving fur-ever family that will NEVER give up on me. I am a well-behaved guy who promises to love you more than you could ever possibly imagine so I really hope you’ll welcome me into your life!

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.  Hello there! I'm Blossom, the sweet Yorkie with an appetite for treats and a heart ready to bloom. Let me tell you a bit about myself, and I'm sure you'll see the potential for a beautiful friendship. But read carefully as I do have some behavioral issues and will need to go to a very special forever home. I'm a 9-pound bundle of sweetness, and my name says it all—Awesome Blossom! I'm house trained and have the whole crate routine down, although I've recently discovered the joy of comfy beds and couches. My love for treats knows no bounds, and my humans find my little dances and animated antics quite amusing. I'm a quiet companion who loves being your shadow. If food is involved, count me in! Napping in my cozy beds is a favorite pastime, and I hope my gentle snoring won't keep you up. I'm a good girl, but there's a unique quirk – I'm afraid of touch. However, I make up for it with adorable bumps on your hand and leg, especially if you're fixing my food. I love other dogs and currently share my space with two furry friends. Snuggling with them is one of my favorite activities. Did I mention how much I love to eat? Veggies and fruits are on my menu too, all part of staying healthy! It is very important to know that while some might see my fear of touch as a challenge, others believe in my potential to blossom, hence the name. I'm trying my best to trust and be part of a loving family. Due to my fear of touch, grooming requires a bit of extra attention. But don't worry, my foster mom can fill you in on the details. Invest your time with me, and I'm sure the rewards will be plentiful. I might have my quirks, but I'm your Blossom! Let's make memories together. *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.

Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.     Do you want someone to snuggle up next to you?  I’m an expert.  It took me a few days here to warm up to my new surroundings but I’ve discovered how nice it feels to be loved and I’m not going back.  So much so that when they tried putting me in a kennel at bedtime, I began my high pitched yodeling and lo-and-behold, I was allowed into the bed and now there’s no going back. Additionally, I am not a big fan of the kennel when my people leave the house either. They have been letting me roam in the house and I really try to do my best to be a good boy and not leave them “surprises” to find when they get home. I am still a bit nervous and sensitive to loud sounds and fast movements so I probably wouldn’t like the fast energy of little children. Foster mom let me decide when I wanted snuggles at first as opposed to always being picked up and dragged around. And now that I’m comfortable and feel safe, I enjoy the rides and all the loving.  I do want to share with you how smart I am! I was really hesitant to go up and down the stairs when I first arrived, but have quickly mastered both up and down AND have figured out how to jump on the couch to be near my people. So scoot over and make room for me next to you! I have also figured out what to do with toys and enjoy soft toys and will even tug on the fringe of a blanket. Oh oh! My people said that I am good about getting redirected so don’t worry. As for potty training, I’m working on it and do well on a good schedule.  We can work on that together. I recently started playing with toys and have a special little stuffed animal that I will carry around. I love toys that I can pull things out of and really enjoy parading my found treasure around to show how proud I am that I got it! So if you are up for a lap dog, I’m your dude.  I’m also observant and will progress really quickly with some training.  That’s where I’ll become more confident.  All I need now is a patient and loving family to call my own! *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.

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.
