Australian Shepherd puppies and dogs in Plymouth, Minnesota

Hi! My name is Paxie, and I am from Arkansas! Don’t let my pretty pictures fool you. I’m a total goof! I hop when I run, and my big tongue is always hanging out. I love sprawling out in the kitchen, watching the action and keeping everyone giggling. I leave a trail of happy wherever I go. I came to Minnesota from Arkansas. I know the best AC vents and cool tile. I love walks (Squirrel! Rabbit!) and am building my stamina, so walks are important. I say hello to everyone we pass because I’ve never met a stranger! I get along wonderfully with my dog siblings and adore the kids in my kid-packed neighborhood. I enjoy the action, but I’m great at entertaining myself with toys. I’m fully house-trained and doing well on my prescription diet for urinary health. I’m sweet, silly, social, and pretty darn special. My forever family will be lucky to have me!

He’s already kennel trained, sleeps through the night, and is working on his leash skills. Potty training is definitely still a work in progress—mostly because the world outside is just WAY too exciting! 😂 With patience, consistency, and a routine, he’ll get there. He would love a fenced a fenced yard to help him dispel some energy, However with his manageable size and adaptable personality, he could even be a great fit for apartment living as long as his exercise and mental stimulation needs are met.

💜 Come meet me at our Adoption Event at Trove Brewing in Burnsville on Saturday, 9/5 from 2 - 4pm! 💚 Age: 1.5 years old Weight: 43 pounds Dog friendly: Yes, requires companion dog in the home Cat friendly: No Kid friendly: Yes Potty trained: Yes on a schedule Crate trained: Yes Meet Dudley, a handsome 1.5 year old Aussie mix from Missouri with a sleek, glossy coat that shines mostly black, glowing with bits of hidden brown when the light catches it, and a pair of bright, amber brown eyes that reflect just how sweet he is. Dudley is a calm, easygoing soul who is equal parts cautious and curious. He takes the world in slowly at first, but as he settles in and learns to trust, his playful side shines through. What he craves most is companionship: he will happily follow you from room to room and snuggle right up beside you. This is a dog who simply loves being near his people. He’s most in his element out on a walk, nose to the ground, exploring every corner of the neighborhood, one sniff at a time. He’s friendly and endlessly interested in every dog he meets, still figuring out how to play with other pups, but greeting each one with curiosity and a wagging tail. Great with kids, and gentle with everyone, Dudley thrives on company and would do best in a home where he isn’t left alone for long stretches. He’s still polishing his manners, as he can be a bit of a jumper, and he hasn’t quite retired from his role as self-appointed countertop inspector, but he’s very food-motivated and eager to please, so his training is coming along beautifully. If you're looking for a loving, affectionate companion who will blossom right alongside you and keep you company on every neighborhood adventure, Dudley is ready to steal your heart! Adoption fee: $495

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.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.

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.

Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.    Dove is an adorable, intelligent, and deeply observant 4-year-old Mini Australian Shepherd who truly embodies so many of the traits people love about Aussies. She takes her role as household “supervisor” very seriously—always watching, learning, and keeping an eye on both her people and her dog friends.   Dove came from a small backyard breeder, and because of her past, the world can still feel overwhelming and unfamiliar. She is a more sensitive, fearful dog who will need a very patient and understanding home—but despite her challenges, Dove is genuinely a  happy  girl. Her little tail is almost always wagging, and she clearly finds joy in being part of a home and a routine. While she may not show affection in traditional ways, Dove bonds deeply in her own quiet way. She likes to stay within eyesight of her person, wags when spoken to, and settles nearby just to be close. Her love is subtle, gentle, and incredibly special.   Dove absolutely adores small dogs and will require another small, confident dog in her home. She looks to them for comfort and companionship and truly lights up around them, often adjusting her energy to match theirs in a very sweet, intuitive way.   Because of her sensitive nature, Dove can feel overwhelmed in loud or busy environments and will thrive in a calm, structured home that understands and respects her boundaries.   She is still learning that she is safe, and her adopter will need to meet her where she is without rushing the process. Human touch is still very scary for her, and she is not currently able to be handled, though she has made small, meaningful progress. Because of this, she is a high flight risk and will need extremely secure handling and containment. A secure, fenced yard is strongly preferred, as leash work is currently very challenging for her.   Due to her handling sensitivities and current setup, she is not yet potty trained and will need continued patience and support in this area. She also shows signs of kennel trauma and cannot be crated or confined, but she does very well when left loose in the home and typically settles quickly to rest.   Despite everything, Dove is incredibly smart, curious, and playful. Her little brain is always working, and she loves toys, puzzles, and especially “collecting” treasures around the house—anything from socks to towels to boxes. Her adopter should be prepared for a bit of dog-proofing to keep her safe and set up for success.   Medically, Dove has a fat sensitivity and will need to remain on a prescription low-fat diet long-term, along with using a slow feeder bowl.   Dove will be a great companion for someone who understands and is willing to give her the time and space she needs, she is truly something special. Watching her slowly build trust, feel safe, and begin to experience life with confidence is an incredibly rewarding journey.   If you have the patience, heart, and environment Dove needs, she will absolutely be worth it!   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. 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.

Hi, I’m Charly! I’m a super friendly, gentle, and easygoing guy who loves being around my people. I’m a relaxed sort of fellow who would much rather lounge in a comfy dog bed than spend all day running around. I’m happiest when I’m included in whatever my family is doing, whether that means hanging out nearby or snoozing in my favorite spot. I already know some basic commands and I’m a great walker on a leash. I’m also mostly potty trained, although I may have an occasional accident while I’m learning a new routine. I’m not a fan of being in a crate, so I’d much rather be trusted to relax comfortably in the home. I can be a little vocal when my people first leave the house. I previously lived with my elderly dad, who was home much of the time, so being alone for long periods is something I’m still getting used to. Because of that, I’d do best with a family who is home more often than not. I’m gentle and sweet with everyone I meet, and I think I’d do well with older, respectful kids. I haven’t met cats yet, but my foster family suspects I may do well with them. I’m an older gentleman, so I need a little help with stairs, but that doesn’t stop me from being a happy boy who loves life and loves being part of a family. I’m sweet, easy, affectionate, and ready to find my new family! --- *This animal is a part of our “Seniors for Seniors” program where we offer senior adopters an opportunity to adopt an eligible pet at a discounted fee.* --- Adopting a senior dog is like getting a vintage car – it comes with character, a few extra quirks, and might need a bit more maintenance. Expect occasional tune ups at the vet for oil changes (aka meds), and embrace the fact that those 'normal lumps and bumps' are just part of the well-earned charm package! Ruff Start will share all known health information with adopters and recommendations Charly is from Texas.
