English Springer Spaniel puppies and dogs in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Hi, I’m Walnut! I’m a 4-year-old, house-trained guy who loves my people big time. Once I bond with you, I’m yours. I like to be where you are and be part of whatever’s going on.I’m a smart boy and thrive when someone gives me good leadership. I’m not crate trained, but I do well in the home with consistency.My favorite things? Playing ball, running fast, and having space to stretch my legs. After I’ve gotten my energy out, I’m a professional-level snuggler. Couch time with my person is the best.I’m looking for a home with kids ages 12 and up. Little ones just aren’t my thing. I can be selective with other dogs — I like some, not all — so slow introductions are important. I might be happiest as your one-and-only so I can soak up all your attention. I’m not sure how I do with cats.I can be a bit vocal and like to keep an eye on my surroundings. I’ll do best with someone who understands that I need consistency, exercise, and clear boundaries.If you’re looking for a loyal shadow, a running buddy, and a serious cuddle companion… I might be your guy.--------------------------------------------All our Warrior Dogs will have all age appropriate medical care and vaccines, a microchip, and spay/neuter before adoption unless age is a factor with a puppy younger than 6-12 months at the time of adoption. If that is the case, the spay/neuter will be covered in the adoption fee and the owner will be responsible to have the procedures completed at a Warrior Dog Rescue Veterinarian at the appropriate time.Please note that the majority of our dogs in rescue are from shelters where they have been found as strays or abandoned. Their breed description is based on our very best educated guess based on physical characteristics and their dispositions. If they came to our rescue as an owner surrender, the breed description will be listed as provided by the previous owner.Adoption Fee - $400To apply for this pup, please submit an Adoption Application at http://warriordogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-application/

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.  Want to meet me? Come to the Underdog Headquarters (3345 Dakota Ave, St. Louis Park, 55416) on Sunday, May 17th from 10:30 am - 12:00 pm. Please email inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com for questions regarding the dogs. Lady is an 18‑pound Cocker Spaniel sweetheart who believes her true calling in life is to be your personal shadow, couch companion, and professional snuggle consultant. She’s friendly and outgoing at home, and while she may start off a little cautious in new places, she warms up quickly—especially if treats are involved. She is extremely food motivated and will happily demonstrate her “sit,” “come,” “shake,” and “outside” skills in exchange for snacks. She’s partially blind in her right eye, which gives her a bit of mysterious pirate‑princess energy, and may explain why she’s not a fan of chaotic environments or overly enthusiastic dogs. Big, bouncy dogs? Hard pass. Bossy little female dogs? Also no thank you. Calm senior pups? Absolutely—she’ll happily share space with the chill crowd. Lady came to us with 30% vision in her right eye due to juvenile cataracts because of this she will be more prone to glaucoma in that eye and will need annual eye check ups. Lady loves small squeaky toys, stuffies, and anything that makes noise when she pounces on it. She’s slightly active with a moderate energy level, meaning she’s always up for a walk, a car ride, or running errands, but she’s equally thrilled to curl up next to you and soak up all the affection you’re willing to give. She’s a world‑class snuggler and will happily join you on the couch or in a chair, molding herself into whatever shape is required for maximum coziness. She’s potty trained, walks nicely on a leash, and prefers a fenced yard because she’s not consistent about going potty on leash. She can be a bit barky in the crate at first, but she settles with time. She’s good with cats, good with adults, and likely best with older or considerate kids who understand her gentle, slightly nervous nature. Lady is a happy, goofy, affectionate little love bug who just wants to be with her people. She’ll make you smile with her antics, warm your lap with her snuggles, and brighten your days with her sweet, soulful presence. 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.

Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.    Meet Rio, a 6-year-old Cocker Spaniel with a big personality, a goofy spirit, and paws that could rival a lion’s. This handsome boy is equal parts playful entertainer and loving cuddle buddy, and he’s always ready to bring a little extra joy (and a lot of personality) into your home. Rio is full of life and absolutely loves to play. Whether he’s tossing around a chew toy, inviting you into a game of chase, or proudly grabbing a toy to show off when guests arrive, he keeps things fun and lively. He has a hilarious habit of snagging toys just so you’ll chase him—it’s all part of his charm! He’s also picked up some adorable behaviors from his foster siblings, like “dancing” with excitement at mealtime and greeting people at the door with a toy in his mouth. When he’s not being his goofy self, Rio is all about the snuggles. He loves to cuddle, enjoys being brushed, and will happily melt into you for a good bum scratch (his favorite!). He also enjoys spending time outside, sniffing and exploring—so a fenced yard would be a dream for him, though he’d also do well with regular walks and time to explore. Rio is a smart boy who already knows a variety of commands, including “sit,” “go lay down,” “kennel,” “outside,” “go potty,” and “quiet.” He’s eager to engage and quick to learn, especially when there’s fun (or treats!) involved. In his foster home, Rio has shown some resource guarding behaviors around other dogs during or just after feeding time. This has improved significantly as he’s settled in, but it’s something his future home should be aware of and continue to manage appropriately. He has a bit of a “leader” personality and likes to be in charge, so he would do best with experienced owners who can provide structure and guidance. He could do well with other dogs, especially with proper introductions and continued boundaries, but may also thrive as an only dog where he can soak up all the attention. Rio has had successful cherry eye surgery and is doing great, but he does have dry eye that will require daily eye drops long-term. He handles care well, and it’s just a simple part of keeping him comfortable and healthy. Rio is truly a special dog—smart, affectionate, playful, and full of character. He’s looking for a home that will embrace his big personality, continue to guide him, and give him plenty of love, playtime, and snuggles. If you’re looking for a dog who will make you laugh, keep you on your toes, and then curl up next to you at the end of the day, Rio just might be your perfect match.

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.  Daisy Duke is a gentle little Cocker Spaniel with the sweetest soul and the kind of quiet resilience that slowly melts your heart. It’s clear Daisy spent most of her life confined to a kennel or small space with very little human affection, and now she’s learning — step by step — that she deserves so much more than simply being used to have puppies. She’s discovering what it means to feel safe, cared for, and truly loved for the very first time. Daisy is shy and cautious at first, but beneath that timid exterior is a dog who desperately wants connection. She has started climbing onto the bed beside her foster family and will quietly inch her way within arm’s reach for gentle pets, though she still avoids eye contact while she builds confidence. The sweetest part? The moment you stop petting her, she scoots just a little closer, silently asking for more. She’s also beginning to discover how to simply be a dog. Daisy watches her foster siblings carefully and has started sneaking toys away to investigate when she thinks nobody is watching. She enjoys turkey tendon chews, carrots, lick mats, and just about any treat you leave for her in a quiet, safe spot. She’s never pushy for attention or food and would much rather hang back and observe until she feels comfortable. Daisy is crate trained, does very well in her kennel, and knows commands like “outside” and “kennel/crate.” She’s making great progress with potty training when kept on a consistent schedule. She is still learning leash skills, but because she is easily frightened and remains a flight risk, a secure fenced yard will be required for her safety. Loud noises, thunderstorms, and overwhelming commotion can still be very scary for Daisy, so she would thrive in a calm, patient home that understands healing takes time. She greatly prefers the company of female dogs (who can blame her after all those years of breeding) and simply asks another confident canine companion (who won’t give off baby making vibes) in her forever home to help continue showing her the world is a safe place. Daisy Duke is not the kind of dog who will rush into your arms on day one — she’s the kind who quietly changes your heart forever. Watching her learn to trust, seek affection, and slowly bloom into the dog she was always meant to be is something truly special. She’s ready for a family who will give her all the love, patience, and gentle kindness she has waited her whole life to receive.
