Bichon Frise puppies and dogs in Golden Valley, Minnesota

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.  Keep checking back for upcoming events I will be attending!       DOB: 12/07/2022 Requires another dog in home: Yes, another well-balanced dog is required Okay with dogs of all sizes: Yes Okay with cats: Unknown Okay with children under 12 years old: No Weight: 10 pounds Food Fed: Solid Gold Requires a fenced yard:  Yes, required Note: dogs must always be leashed whenever outside of a contained area. Invisible/ underground fencing is not recommended for most rescue dogs. Hi, my name is Corbin and I am a very shy and timid young guy that is ready to find my forever people with patience, toys and lots of love to help me be the best I can be! I’m very afraid of being touched by humans but I do love them.  Over the past few months, foster mom has been working with me on getting used to touch. She can now hold me and put me in her lap and I know I am safe.  I give her smiles and tail wags.  I’ve been brave enough to lick my foster mom’s hand but I’ll run away if you try to hold me or pick me up.  that whole picking me up thing makes me nervous and I panic, but I do enjoy gentle scratches.  With time, lots of patience and love, I’ll get there.  I’m getting a little better every day but when things are scary, they’re really scary! You have to understand that I likely have never been in a loving home so sounds like the TV, clanking dishes, the horrible vacuum and lots of commotion might make me a little worried. I have shown foster mom that I do have some puppy antics in me, hee hee! I like to play with soft toys, run around the yard and wrestle with the other dogs in my foster home. So, it’ll be important that I have a good doggy role model in my forever home to help me learn that touch isn’t scary and keep learning. A social, well-balanced and confident dog is required. This means that my buddy will need to show me humans are safe, how to get on a potty routine and teach me which toys are the best! My fur-brother and the other dogs in my foster home have been amazing teachers! I am still working on my dog skills like potty training. We go outside on a routine, but I will still need of practice in my forever home. Foster mom wants to let you know that I am smart – I already know what “go potty” means! We tried kennel training, and oh boy, I will tell you how much I don’t like it! Bark bark! Foster mom uses gates for the dogs when she isn’t home. I also bark at her when she comes home – maybe I’m telling you I’m glad you’re home, or maybe I’m filling you in on what happened when you were away!  Also, a fenced yard is required as I don’t have a leash or tie-out experience. This is very important for potty training too. My foster mom said I’m fun, adorable, learns quickly and likes to play with other dogs and that I play hard!  Oh and that I have a wonderful appetite! I will let you know with a bark bark that I am excited for dinner! I’m just an overall, very happy dog who loves the feel of the sun on my face when I’m sitting outside, other dogs and treats.  All I need now is a forever home with lots of patience, unconditional love and a family that will help me be the best I can be! Foster mom says that with time I will learn to trust – we are taking baby steps. Will you take those baby steps with me? 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.

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.

If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please complete  an Adoption Request Form.

These two sweethearts are bursting with energy and joy, always ready to brighten your day with their playful antics and affectionate cuddles. They adore playing with other dogs, are fantastic with children, and even love car rides—making them the perfect travel buddies! While they haven’t met a cat yet, they’re social and adaptable pups who thrive with love and patience. Zoe and Gigi are still working on their outside potty training, but they’re making great progress with the right guidance. They’re also not the biggest fans of crates just yet, but with time, training, and positive reinforcement, they’ll adjust at their own pace. One big plus? They shed very little, if at all—great news for those looking for a lower-maintenance coat! It’s clear that their previous owner cherished them, and they’re eager to bring that same love and joy into their forever home. If you’re looking for double the companionship and double the fun, Zoe and Gigi might just be the perfect match!

Meet Bebe! Bebe is a lovable 4-year-old weighing around 20 pounds. He came to rescue from one of our local impound partners, so his breed mix is a best guess by the sending shelter, but we are thinking he's more poodle and/or schnauzer mix. Bebe would make a fantastic running partner, always ready to hit the trail for a jog or a walk. He enjoys getting out and about, so a quieter environment with access to outdoor activities would suit him best. He'd also make a great camping partner! This sweet boy will thrive in a home with either a fenced yard or a tie-out for safe outdoor exercise. Bebe is good in the car, so he’s always ready for new adventures with you! While he enjoys getting outside and staying active, he also appreciates a calm and peaceful environment at home, where he can relax and recharge. He is crate-trained and doesn't mind downtime in his kennel. Bebe is a fun-loving, energetic companion who’s ready to find a forever home where he can run, play, and enjoy life to the fullest. He thrives in a quiet environment and would do best in a home with no children or older, respectful kiddos who can give him the space and attention he needs.

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.    Hi, I’m Opie! I’m a 1-year-old Maltipoo, weighing in at just 7 pounds of fluff and potential. I’ve had a bit of a rough start and can be very scared of people and very skittish, but with patience, kindness, and time, I know I can learn to trust and blossom in the right home. Here’s what you should know about me: I’m happiest when I’m with other dogs, especially my confident furry friends who help me feel safe and teach me the ropes. I love wrestling with them, basking in the sun, and playing with my soft, stuffed toys. While I’m not big on most treats, I do have a weakness for homemade dehydrated beef liver—yum! I’m working really hard on trusting humans, but don’t really like to be touched right now. My foster parent has been helping me learn with gentle cuddle sessions, and I’m slowly making progress. I’m even starting to approach for play and hold their fingers in my mouth—though I still get scared if things move too fast. I do enjoy quiet, early morning tummy rubs, so there’s hope for more snuggles in the future! Potty training and leash training are still a work in progress for me, so I’ll need a secure, fenced yard in my forever home. I’m also a bit of an escape artist, so doors and gates will need to stay closed tight! At night, I’ve figured out my routine—I sleep best in a crate on the bed with the door open, where I can snuggle up near my favorite doggy friend. It makes me feel safe and calm. I know I’m not your average puppy—I need an experienced adopter who can be patient, gentle, and understanding. Having another confident dog in the house is a must for me. If you’re up for the challenge, I promise I’ll try my hardest to make you proud. Underneath my fear is a sweet, mischievous little pup just waiting to come out. Are you the one who can help me find my courage? *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.

Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.  Meet Buster: The Snuggle Enthusiast & Soft Toy Connoisseur Buster is a charming, easygoing pup with a deep love for all things soft—whether it’s a plush toy, a cozy blanket, or your lap. He’s got just the right mix of playful energy and laid-back vibes, making him the perfect companion for someone who enjoys both activity and cuddle sessions. When it comes to other dogs, Buster is a go-with-the-flow kind of guy. Big dogs? Cool. Small dogs? No problem. Hyper dogs, lazy dogs, loud dogs, quiet dogs—he’s not picky about his company. However, he is very serious about his soft toys and Nylabone chews. Those are his prized possessions, and he will proudly carry them around like tiny trophies. He’ll happily play with another dog if they’re a good match, but he’s just as content doing his own thing, chewing on his favorite toy while the world carries on around him. Now, Buster does have one little quirk—he’s got an unidentified allergy. We’re not sure what he’s allergic to (he’s keeping that secret to himself), but the only sign is that his eyes sometimes need a quick saline rinse. He doesn’t fuss about it, and we like to think he enjoys the mini spa treatment. Otherwise, he’s a happy, healthy boy with no other allergy symptoms. Buster would fit in just about anywhere. He’d be a great buddy for a home with other dogs, but he’d also be perfectly content as an only pet, soaking up all the love and attention. Whether he’s playing, lounging, or curling up next to you for a nap, one thing’s for sure—this sweet boy is ready to bring love, laughter, and a whole collection of soft toys into his forever home. Could that be with you?
