Story
Nuca is a sweet nervous brown mini aussie, but she bonds well to people after a good introduction. She's full of energy and clings to her people for attention - but she is also happy to chill out on the couch or under your chair when working most of the day! NO children however - she is not aggressive towards them but is extremely uncomfortable with them, we are unsure on cats, she may do best in a home without other dogs. A home with a small yard would be most ideal, Nuca needs more leash training but was crate trained at 1 years old though she is allowed to roam the house since we work from home, and travels well in a car. Groomer has had no issues with her. Nuca has been an indoor pup for all her 3 years! She likes chew toys and running around crazy in the back yard! She hates cleaning supplies like vacuums or brooms. Will bark excessively when left unattended for long periods so I would not recommend apartment owners or people that work all day.

Story
I got him from my brother as he was about to become homeless and would no longer be able to care for him. He's about 2-3 years old and is very friendly and doesn't bite, and is good with other dogs. I live with 2 roommates and don't have much space, and I spend the majority of my time working, and he spends all of his time in my room. I feel like I can't properly care for him and give him the life that he deserves and he is clearly depressed as his breed needs a lot of stimulation and space. He is very high energy, affectionate and playful, but also has high anxiety and is easily stressed, when I got him from my brother he was terrified and stressed for the first couple of weeks, but then he started to settle in and his anxiety started to fade. I just want him to be somewhere where he can thrive and have the life he deserves.

Story
Nico is a 2-year-old rescue we brought home from a breeder in Mexico. He is truly a gentle giant with lots of energy and a big love for rough play and fun. Nico thrives on activity and enjoys being engaged. He is fully vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. Nico is mostly potty trained, though he is still a work in progress and would benefit from continued consistency. When rescued, we didn’t know his breed or just how big he would grow. Over the past two years, we have done everything we can to give him a loving and fulfilling life while living in apartments.Due to another relocation, we are no longer able to provide the space and environment he truly deserves.This decision breaks our hearts, but our priority is finding whats best for Nico. We are looking for a loving home with a yard where Nico can run, play, and burn off his energy. He would do best with a family or individual who understands large, active dogs and can continue giving him the love, structure and room to grow.

MEET  VOOPER !!! Meet Apollo, a lively 2 yr-old Brindle Dutch Shepherd eagerly searching for his forever home! Apollo is a playful and friendly pup ready to bring joy and excitement to your life. He loves the great outdoors and going on walks, runs, playing soccer, and engaging in a spirited game of tug of war are some of his favorite activities. However, nothing beats the thrill of visiting the dog park, where he can make new friends to play with.  Apollo will need a home with a yard and owners who can give him plenty of affection and opportunities to play. He behaves well on walks and playing with other dogs, with experience, he could also be a good companion on hikes and even hunting. More about Apollo - Fully potty trained and knows how to ask politely to go in and out, not afraid of loud noises, has been through discipline training and knows the following commands: Sit, Focus, Stay, Leave it, Drop It/ Let go, Come here, Touch, And more , He is kennel trained (and understands the command go to kennel)...but he would rather snuggle up with you!! He is great with everyone (men and women) he has come in contact with. He gets along with other dogs and has done well with children 10+ years old. Things to consider: He can still be  a bit mouthy when he is excited, he likes to jump up on people and furniture. He has not lived with cats before and his reaction is unknown. He has not lived with young children (under 10 yrs old) before so at this time we'd advise older kids, teens+. Apollo IS VERY AGILE and can jump a 6 ft. block wall, so he will need a secure yard and an Adopter who will supervise in the backyard. He is not a pup you can let out for potty and leave for a 1/2 hour.   If you're ready to add a new member to your family. Come meet him and see if you can be the one to give him the loving forever home he deserves!  If you are interested in meeting this dog, please visit our website for our online application www.underdogaz.com   October 8, 2026, 11:50 pm

Please note this dog is NOT an official Underdog dog, and you will be connected with the person who has the dog. Please Contact (Current Owner of Dog):  Tanner Johl; 602-329-9180; tjohl93@gmail.com MEET  RILEY #13!! Riley is a 3-year-old mixed breed born December 19, 2022 in Show Low, Arizona, and adopted from Pet Allies at six months old. She is a smart, obedient, and affectionate girl who forms strong bonds with her people and thrives with adult companionship. Riley is leash trained, crate trained, and rides well in the car. She loves going on walks, playing fetch, enjoying her toys, and then settling in for cuddle time—especially if “dog TV” is on. She knows an impressive list of commands including sit, lay down, come, stop, leave it, drop it, shake, up, off, and look, and she is eager to please and highly intelligent. Riley can be shy and skittish at first and needs time to warm up, but once she trusts you, her playful and loving personality shines. She is protective of her home and can be anxious in busy environments, so she would do best in a calm, adult-only household without cats and ideally as the only dog. Due to increased anxiety in a home with a new baby, her family feels she would be happiest and most secure in a quieter setting where she can relax and feel safe. Riley is looking for a patient, understanding adopter who will give her the structure she needs to be the perfect dog. Complete an application and meet Riley.

MEET MAGGIE!!! Maggie is a fun-loving, intelligent pup with a larger-than-life personality and an endless passion for playtime. If there's a ball nearby, Maggie is ready for action! She loves keeping her people entertained and would happily spend her day chasing toys, solving puzzles, and engaging in interactive games. This smart girl learns quickly and enjoys using her brain as much as her energy. Her problem-solving skills are impressive, and she's even figured out how to escape standard wire kennels. Because of her clever and determined nature, Maggie does best with a secure, indestructible kennel and plenty of opportunities for mental enrichment. Puzzle toys, treat games, and interactive activities are some of her favorites. When playtime is over, Maggie transforms into a world-class cuddle bug. She loves being close to her people, whether she's curling up beside you, sneaking in as the little spoon at bedtime, or melting into your lap. Her affectionate nature makes her an exceptional companion. Maggie also enjoys playing with other social dogs and thrives in active environments where she can make friends and burn off energy. While she does well with other dogs and loves playing with others, she does best eating her meals separated from others. Like many herding breeds, she can sometimes become overly enthusiastic, but with proper training, guidance, and continued socialization, she channels that energy beautifully. If you're looking for a smart, active, affectionate dog who will keep you laughing, thinking, and snuggling, Maggie may be the perfect match for your family.
