Story
Charlie (the Blue Merle) is a 2 1/2 year old purebred aussie with a tail and weighs 52 pounds. He is needing a new home due to his owner’s work schedule and would do best with family that can provide him with plenty of exercise, love, and attention. He is very friendly and loves to be around his people. He also likes to play with other dogs and frequents the dog park as well as goes to daycare 1-2 days a week. He is working on not jumping up when greeting people as well as better leash manners. He has not had any experience living with children or other animals but has never shown aggression. He is crate trained, house trained and knows basic obedience. He loves to be outside, play in the water and be chased around the house with a toy in his mouth. He will be greatly missed by his current family! Characteristics: friendly, playful, smart, athletic Coat length: medium Health: vaccinations up to date, neutered, micro chipped. Charlie is being fostered by his owner in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area. All of our dogs live in foster homes with volunteers. We need an approved application on file to set up a meeting with a dog you might be interested in.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Did I catch your eye? Learn more about me by reading my profile below; I just might be your new best friend! Apply on our website ( https://www.healingheartsrescue.org/adopt )  to  set up a private meeting or check below for my adoption event schedule. Age: Exact DOB 01/20/2023 Dog friendly: Yes Cat friendly: Yes Kid friendly: Yes Potty trained: Working on it Crate trained: Does great in an xpen Hello! My name is  Hattie . I am a trusting, quiet, and very smart puppy. I am half Australian Shepherd and half Schnauzer. I get along well with everyone (currently: adults, teens, and two other dogs) but I could also be an only-dog so I can soak up all the cuddles myself. When I’m not playing with my dog friends, I love to follow my humans around just to see what they’re up to. I also like to lie around and do nothing, especially after a big meal. I love to play with toys, to chase a ball, and to chew on pretty much anything. I'm hoping my forever home has some good chew toys for me. I have not figured out crate training yet, but I definitely like to sleep through the night in my xpen. My foster family is teaching me about house training, and it is going well, but not 100%. I am a puppy after all!  I can't waiting to meet you! Adoption Fee: $695Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet. INTERESTED IN MEETING ME?

Additionally, our assessments of a dog's interactions with other dogs, cats, or children are based on OUR experiences. Your experience may differ.   ADOPTION FEE INCLUDES: Wellness check Spay/neuter (puppies adopted with required spay/neuter certificate) Age appropriate vaccines - rabies as required by law and distemper combo or proof of positive titer test Heartworm test if over 7 months of age Fecal test and/or deworming for parasites Microchip &#226&#128&#139 ~ Healing Hearts rescue will also provide dental procedures, bloodwork, surgeries, and/or any other additional vet work as needed while dogs are in our care. &#226&#128&#139~ Adoption fees are non-negotiable and fees are listed on the dog's profile   ~ Adoption fees can be paid the following ways with the required sales tax (7.525%) added: PayPal Credit Card Cash WANT TO HELP SAVE MORE DOGS?   Healing Hearts Rescue is a nonprofit, foster-based rescue located in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota that  is 100% funded through adoption fees and donations .  We are excited for you to join us on this mission to save the lives of dogs in need.   We believe every dog deserves to be loved as true members of a family and are committed to fulfilling that dream one dog at a time!

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please check below to see what upcoming adoption events I will be attending or apply here for a private meeting.  If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com> ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***   DOB: 12/13/2022 Require another dog in home: No Okay with dogs of all sizes: Yes Okay with cats: Yes Okay with children under 12 years old: no Weight: 5 pounds and growing 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, I’m Pocky, a beautiful female Mini Australian Shepherd puppy who not only loves yummy bully sticks and tiny toys, but I am a pocket-sized ball of happy energy who loves my people!! One of my favorite activities is chasing my people around. I love to be right by their feet or face, if they’re holding me, and I ask you…seriously, who could resist holding a precious little girl like me!?! Hee, hee!! I am always respectful of other dogs’ space, but they don’t really interest me much. Cats on the other paw, I adore!! I am always trying to befriend and play with the kitties around here but when they let me know they’ve had enough of my puppy energy I respectfully leave them alone. I am an intelligent girl who picked up potty training very quickly and I am leash trained. However, I am not a fan of that cave you humans call a ‘kennel/crate’ and although I am learning to settle and be calm in it, I would prefer to simply be with my people, and I assure you they are NOT in the kennel…I’m just sayin’! Anyway, I am an absolute sweetheart looking for my fur-ever home. All I need is a patient family who will not only love me unconditionally and NEVER give up on me but is happy to welcome all my love and craziness into their life! I really hope that’s YOU because I promise I am worth it, and I will totally enrich your world! Love, Pocky 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. 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.     This 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.  ADOPTION EVENTS:      Adoption events are updated as the foster home RSVP's to attend. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. 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. You may wish to consider applying and setting 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. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves. 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.   YOU CAN HELP: Not able to foster or adopt right now?

Story
Meet Ted! This handsome Australian Shepherd is looking for his perfect forever home! He's you, smart, and active! This boy will do best in a home who understands this breed, and can give him a job to do. He loves to play fetch and play outside. We think that he would make a wonderful agility dog! Ted has been seen by a vet, vaccinated, and neutered (he doesn't like restraint, so will need a little help with his etiquette at future exams) Ted was found out on his own, and never claimed from a local impound, so unfortunately, his past is unknown. What we do know is that he is ready to start the next chapter in his life! Are you looking for an active dog to join your family? Apply online! *Recommend children 12 years and older Applications for adoption can be found on the homepage of the website. Once you have submitted your application a PCHS staff will contact you regarding an appointment to meet the animals you are interested in.**Adoption fee: $350+ $30 microchip fee + tax
