This handsome boy was picked up running at large and based on Facebook posts it was about his third or fourth offense, but no one claimed him. We are guessing that he was a failure at being a livestock guardian because he’s way too social. He’s always wanting to visit someone new. Charlie is a little over a year old and weighs 110 lbs. He was very thin when he first came to us but is now at his perfect weight. He is neutered, up to date on required vaccines, microchipped and heartworm tested negative. He’s house trained and he loves other dogs, but he is a big guy. He also will require a tall fence, and you will have to keep an eye on him because again he likes to visit new people. He’s affectionate and likes to lean on you. He is learning commands like sit and stay and he really tries to please! This is what his foster mom says about him " Charlie is amazing. He is housebroken, loves to be hugged, hasn’t chewed anything up, likes to play but is content just to chill. He walks beautifully on a leash and likes to say hi to everyone he meets. Charlie enjoys sitting and looking out the window, hanging around in the kitchen especially when I’m cooking and going for car rides. Although this breed is known for having a stubborn streak, Charlie seems to understand a few commands wait, it’s ok, no, come, let’s go and he will even sit for a treat. But his favorite is Good Boy Charlie❤️" This guy would be a great dog for an active loving family. He’s so sweet! If you would like to be Charlie’s forever family, please email dogs4mylife@ gmail.com or olmc7@ hotmail.com. If you are inquiring from a Gmail address. It is best to use our Gmail address, or you might have to look for us in your spam.

Are you looking for a lively personal trainer, a child’s ride-upon horse, fetch master, and a goofball?  Look no further: Travis is your man. Travis is an Anatolian Shepherd/Foxhound mix born approx 12/7/23. He hails from Arkansas and is dripping with Southern charm and charisma. He is the father to the eight adorable puppies recently welcomed by Taylor.      Travis is playful; he plays like it’s his job! What does he play, you might wonder?  Whatever the resident 7, 4, and 2-year-old children are doing.  This could be Cabbage Patch, swinging in the hammock, wrestling, zipping through forts/blanket houses, or classic rock dance parties.      Leash walking?  More like running!  It is improving but Travis does pull.  He’s just so excited to go fast, seeing and smelling everything. Potty trained?  Completely. Kennel-tolerant?  Yes, although he prefers if there is a person or two in his vicinity. Vocalization?  Rarely does a bark or whimper come from Travis.  He has never growled or shown teeth, even when our 2-year-old picked up a handful of kibble from his bowl during meal time.  We are “training” the kids that even a lovebug like Travis needs to be left alone during dinner!    Socialization?  Loves all people and other dogs.  Can occasionally whelp pathetically when kenneled, and we leave the house.  Our 4-year-old says “when he makes that noise he’s showing you he misses his eight puppies!”  Lol. Intelligence?  Travis is unbelievably smart and is quite possibly a mind-reader. Additional training on staying down and leash manners are the only areas this near-perfect dog needs to work on.      Travis would easily fully integrate into any family with young kids.  The adventures he has with little ones are both hilarious and heart-warming.  Travis doesn’t want to simply meet you; he wants us to arrange a play date with you. Cheers!   Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $525.00Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 8, 2025, 1:22 am

History and A Note from the Foster: Hey there, future family! My name’s Waddles, but my foster family calls me “Dora” because, well… I’m an explorer! Every yard, trail, and living room corner deserves a proper sniff inspection if you ask me. I’m an 8-month-old Anatolian Shepherd mix, and if you’re looking for brains and beauty, look no further. I’m crate-trained, potty-trained, and I walk like an absolute pro on a leash (seriously, my foster mom says I’m the best walker she’s ever had!). I currently live in western WI with a really cool 9-year-old human, my foster mom and dad, and a cat named Cheeto. I think Cheeto’s awesome — I tried to play with him, but he didn’t seem into it. I may have whimpered about it, but I got over it and went back to stealing his toys instead. I’m loyal, independent, and a bit of a goofball. My favorite toy is a stuffed moose that I proudly parade around like a trophy (no pictures, though — I’m camera shy!). I love cuddling once I get to know you, and belly rubs? Oh yes, please! I do best with school-aged kids or older, only because I’m a big girl still learning about sharing my snacks and toys. I had a tiny bit of resource guarding at first, but with a little training (and love), I got the hang of it fast. I’d love a home with: Humans who like adventure (walks! exploring! sniffing everything!) A dog sibling, but only if they're friendly and not too bossy Maybe even a cat friend — as long as they don’t mind a curious pup A cozy bed for when I’m ready to curl up and snooze after a big day Honestly, I’m just looking for a family who’ll love me as much as I’ll love them. I’m loyal, silly, smart, and sweet — basically the full package. So what do you say?

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.    DOB: 02/08/2021 Requires another dog in home: No, picky about her friends Okay with dogs of all sizes: Not good with small dogs - read more in profile  Okay with cats: No, dog savvy cats only Okay with children under 12 years old: Older, considerate kids only Requires a fenced yard: No Note: dogs must always be leashed whenever outside of a contained area. Invisible/ underground fencing is not recommended for most rescue dogs. Hello, my name is Raquel. I am a stunning, wrinkly-faced young adult female Belgian Malinois/Boxer mix with an adorable underbite who’s the perfect mix of energetic and relaxed. I am an unpredictable gal with a high prey drive so cats are not a good fit for me; I’m reactive when it comes to other dogs or unknown/sudden sounds like bikes whizzing by etc.; and I’m a pack follower so if there’s a fight, I may feel compelled to join the chaos. That said, I went to a training facility where there were many other dogs and I did great so I think with time, patience, and continued training I may overcome these ‘quirks’ of mine!! Hee, hee! Anyway, my favorite activities include cuddling with my people; going for leashed walks; snoozing on the couch; eating; playing with squeaky toys; chewing on bones/sticks; chasing the cat; chilling with my canine sib; running zoomies; and barking at strangers outside! I don’t like a lot of commotion and have been known to bite if someone comes into the house when foster mom is not home. I am, however, a very smart girl who will not only give myself a kenneled ‘time-out’ if I’m barking too much but I am potty trained and I know commands like “sit”, “down”, “kennel/crate”, and “heel”! Seriously, how brilliant am I!?! I am a great listener too which makes training a lot easier! Hee, hee!! I know that I’m a bit unpredictable right now but I’m still young and I really am a sweetheart who simply wants to find unconditional love in my own furever home with a patient family who will NEVER give up on me! My heart is SO full of love that I really want to share with YOU…please be my new family, I assure you I’m worth it! Love Raquel NOTE: Raquel has had a DNA test and is 38% Belgian Malinois, 18% Boxer and 17% American Pitbull Terrier Note that this dog has been treated for heartworm  and will need monthly heartworm preventatives year round for life.  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. 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.
