Hello, my name is Benji! I am a very handsome young adult male Mini Aussiedoodle who doesn’t like a lot of commotion, but I love to cuddle, and I prefer women. Truth is, I am highly sensitive and reactive to ‘stranger danger’! That’s right, I react to people approaching the front door, coming into the house, and even people approaching my kennel. I know…it’s not something I’m proud of but I’m working on it…really, I am!! In fact, foster mom is trying to help me associate new people (strangers) with positive outcomes and I am confident that I will be successful in time but for now it is still a work in progress. In the meantime, mom sometimes puts a muzzle on me and although it doesn’t bother me at all I prefer, of course, not to wear it so my new family will need to commit to working with me on training. Muzzle training may make me look scary, but it allows me to safely meet and work on my training so I can be happy!  After all, consistency, patience, loving encouragement, and LOTS of mental and physical stimulation are the keys to my success!!! I am good with older kids, cats, and other dogs; and my favorite activities include going on my daily leashed walks or car rides; hiking; exploring; eating treats like plain Greek yogurt or pumpkin; playing with small squeaky toys and other dogs; chewing on Benebones; and running zoomies in the yard so the yard at my new home will need to be fenced! Hee, hee!! I also hope to have a small, confident doggie companion who might help me overcome some of my anxiety about strangers!!! By the way, I almost forgot to mention that I am a prodigy…no, really! I know everything from how to do my business outside to a deluge of commands like “sit”, “down”, “come”, “kennel/crate”, “wait”, “leave it”, “outside”, and “go potty”!! Thankfully, I enjoy learning, especially when I have a strong, confident, respectful leader, and I really love pleasing my people!! Anyway, foster mom says that I am the “most affectionate” dog she’s ever met and as hard as I try, I simply cannot disagree with her! Hee, hee!! All I need in my life now is YOU…a patient, unconditionally loving forever family who will not only NEVER give up on me but will commit to helping me overcome my fears!! I promise that not only am I totally worth it, but I will enrich your life in ways you could never imagine!!! Love, Benji Some of our dogs are obtained from commercial breeders where they spent their lives getting comfort from their canine friends. Others have come from various situations where they are lacking confidence in humans. In turn, most require another companion dog in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog, and do not currently have a dog residing with you, please understand that your home might not be the right fit for many of our dogs.   This dog has received grooming with us at Underdog Rescue, but was likely neglected of grooming attention until he came into our care.  It can sometimes take months to get their coat healthy as Doodle mixes require daily brushing.  Grooming appointments occur every 3 months and cost on average of $150 per appointment.  Adopters should be prepared for such expenses.  Underdog Rescue cannot guarantee the non-shedding or hypoallergenic qualities of this dog.    ***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
Welcome Serenity to CCPAL Rescue. She is a 1.5-year-old Australian Shepherd mixed dog. She weighs about 45 pounds. She is deaf and only has minor sight in one eye. She gets around like she has all senses completely intact. She is very sweet with all people. She was born without hearing and much sight so she has learned to adapt and when you see her play with other dogs you would not really know. She is great with other dogs her size and gets along in a play group with dogs that are more dominant and bossier. She can go with children. We would like them to be 10 or older. Someone patient with her and gentle in the handling will love this dog. She wants to do what you want and she is gentle, sweet and willing to learn. She is smart and adores attention and being touched. She has a soft coat and not a huge shedder. She would be a great companion for an older couple, older single or someone that is looking for a nice friendly companion. She is good on a leash and follows scent of her person easily. She bonds deeply and quickly. We all love this dog at the Rescue and would really be happy to see her find her forever home. She was found as a stray in Texas and has been with the rescue waiting for her forever home. She is healthy and up on her vaccinations and spayed. She can be adopted locally in Texas or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is 300 and transport is 200. . Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions.

Hi!  I’m Quoll!  Being only 3 months old, I am full of energy, so I am ready for whatever adventures await me.  My foster moms constantly talk about how smart I am, and how much I love to learn new things. I have taken very quickly to kennel training.  I not only eat and sleep in my kennel, but I love it so much that I can be found just chilling in there between play sessions.  I am working hard on my potty training, and thrive on praise.  The parties that we have when I potty outside are so much fun that I don’t even expect a treat. I am learning a routine from the other dogs in my foster home, and that helps a lot.  Speaking of my foster home; I get to hang out with a 2 year old human, who I am wonderful with, and dogs of all sizes, who I love to play with.  I am still learning boundaries, so sometimes the other dogs give me corrections, which I take very well. I will want a human who makes sure I continue to learn to be respectful and polite. I am a puppy and will take a mile of you give me inch.  I am the perfect companion for someone who wants to explore during the day, and Netflix at night. 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 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. 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.

Do you have a nickname?  I do.  It’s “Fi-Fi.”  My fosters think I must be French being I have been known to occasionally “French kiss” them when I’m giving sweet kisses.  What’s a girl to do.  Hahaha! Being I’m still a puppy, there are so many things I like that it’s hard to choose.  So, I’ll just tell you that it’s everything except being in my kennel.  Currently, my fosters realized that using an X-pen with me is better for me.  I really like playing with other dogs, chewing, snuffle mats and treat dispensers. Also, I don't mind the resident cat.  We are working on all the important puppy skills including leash walking. With a little more practice I will be a champion! I probably need to tell you that I bark in my kennel.  So maybe no shared walls. We are doing great on potty training and with a good schedule I am getting on a routine.  I am also learning new words! I know sit, come, leave-it and outside. Pretty smart, right?! Give me a chance to show you my adorable self and watch my tail spin like a propeller!  I’ll even snuggle up with you or my foster furblings until I get too hot and then need to escape to another spot to cool off.  I’m a very smart girl! I know when you take me to puppy school that I will be a quick study and we will learn a lot together.  I am really looking forward to finding a forever family that will take me on adventures and teach me new things! *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.

He is very treat motivated and smart; sit, kennel and stay are all coming along nicely and he is fully potty trained. Brock is a very playful dog who likes to play fetch with a tennis ball or frisbee and play tug-a-war with either a human or dog companion. He gets along well with his other household dog pals. At times he has too much energy for the 9 year old dog, but is getting better at recognizing social cues of when it is okay to play and when it is not. Brock snuggles and sleeps as well as he plays. He likes to get his belly rubbed and nap in the blankets. Brock sleeps in a kennel overnight but would also do well in a bed.  He is growing up in rescue, Who can be this boy's happy ever after??Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.   or     *The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person!  If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called "cute" as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification! Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.  *Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.  Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks. Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.   //

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Buttercup is an extremely cute, smart and sweet mini Aussie puppy. She was born 3/26/23. She is a breeder release pup so while she’s really shy at first, she loves other dogs! She wants to play with our senior dog in the worst way but hasn’t had much luck. She would benefit greatly from having another dog or dogs to show her humans aren’t so scary and the overall ropes of being a dog. She is scared of a lot so training has been a challenge. She’s nervous outside when the cars drive by and howls in protest while in her crate. We have been working on both but so far she is not crate or house trained. She’s a pretty quick study though so once she gets past her fear, she is great. She will go up and down the stairs now and likes to follow me around the house now that she knows I am not so scary. She will take time to relax but once she does, she will make a pet for a family. Hopefully with another dog and no shared walls (at least for now!)

Story
Who needs an ultra soft snuggly friend in their lives?!  That’s me, Sister (my foster family has been calling me Nami).  I was rescued from the Reservation in SD and if you have ever been lucky enough to meet a Rez dog you know how beautiful our souls are.  They think I am around 18lbs and 16 weeks (around a 50lb adult).   My foster family keeps saying I’m such a great puppy, playful but still like a lazy lab who loves a lap.  I love that they have bones and play toys all around for me to grab when I feel the need (and I haven’t even chewed them up!).  I have been working really hard with them and love the treats that they give me for listening.  If you are looking for a dog that can go with you to all the sporting events or just walks around the neighborhood I am your girl. ##1821635##

Story
Welcome Hamilton to CCPAL Foster Program. Hamilton is a 10-month-old Border Collie/Miniature Pinscher mixed dog. He weighs about 25 pounds. He may fill out some but shouldn’t be much taller. He has the Border Collie colors but a shorter coat. He is very attentive and he currently is in foster care with 3 children and other dogs. He is the more dominant boy in the group. He has long legs and will be able to keep a good stride. He is moderately vocal and would be best in a home without shared walls. He is fine in a car and is crated and did fine. He is good with other dogs and kids. We like all children to be 8 or older even though he successfully lives with a smaller child now. He would be best in an active home and would be fine with another dog. He will be neutered soon and get his vaccines and be ready for his forever home. We would like someone who has had a working breed even if he is on 50% Border Collie. He will be a great walking or jogging partner and has long legs to help keep stride. We don’t see any of the herding tendencies yet but he may have some of those. People love the Border Collie Breed so we think he will get lots of interest and applications. Please put in an application and we will get back with you. What you see in the video is exactly the way this precious dog behaves regularly. He is in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get him to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. His adoption fee is 400 and transport fee is 200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions.

Story
Welcome Cheyenne to CCPAL Rescue. Cheyenne is a 13-week-old Border Collie mix. The momma dog is a pure bred Border Collie. Thes pups should be 40 pounds full grown is our best estimate. The other parent is a mystery. The momma is a farm dog and herds the goats. Cheyenne has medium length coat and it is nice and soft. The pups like water, are affectionate and smart. They were good getting their bath and Cheyenne is soft and quiet when you pick her up. The two girls in this litter are smaller than the boys and a lot less energetic. She has the beautiful longer coat like the Border Collie. We would like someone who has owned the working breed or a border collie. People who have had a BC do love this breed. She is good in her litter playing and is less energetic than the boys. Today she got her first round of vaccines and her Nexgard. She will be loved on by the kennel workers here at the shelter until she finds her new home. She was turned in by the person that had the female Border Collie. These pups are precious and would be fine with children or other dogs. We like the children to be 8 or older. She is in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast.
