Collie puppies and dogs in Buffalo, Minnesota

Location: St Paul, MN Holly was named Honey by her previous family, and it very much suits her! She was unfortunately returned due to no real fault of her own. She can be skittish to loud noises and sudden movements, so a house with small kiddos just wasn't the right fit for her. She has been with us just over a week and is the easiest little sweetheart! She is potty trained, goes in her kennel on her own or when told to "kennel, but we have left her out when we are gone and she's just fine. She lets us know when she has to go outside with her cute little peeps, and comes right back in when called. She loves snuggles and attention, and digs her head under your hand when you stop petting her. She does know some basic commands according to her previous family. She loves our two dogs and is very playful with them. She has been interested in our cats but responds to "leave it very well. We have taken her on walks, and we think she somewhat enjoys them? She's happy when she forgets the world is a little scary, and is okay with cars passing by but could also hear or see something that is intimidating and might cower or jump. If her future home had a fenced in yard that she can explore on her own, that might be best for her. Dog parks might be pretty intimidating for her, but we haven't tried yet. She has been slightly apprehensive with my husband, but he reassures her and she's totally okay with him once he pets her and talks to her. Overall, she has been an incredibly easy foster for us, and we just wish she didn't have to be scared sometimes! She does still jump or cower to unexpected noises or movements, but she's never been reactive and can be called over for pets immediately. We think she would do best in a quiet home with someone who just wants a BFF. She is much warmer to females, but warms up to men eventually. We know there is a perfect home out there for her, and she will be the perfect dog for someone! ----- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Location: Sioux Falls, SD Hi, I am Brantley (but I prefer the name Max). My foster mom always tells me I am sweet boy. I am good with other pups and I don't mind kiddos! I love to play with my toys and take naps. I do have somethings we are working on! This includes kennel training I can get anxious in there - especially when my family leaves the house. I am potty trained but when I am in the kennel I may have an accident from worrying about where my humans are! I am working on some other commands but am catching on quickly! I recently came back to rescue, and I am still getting settled and decompressing but hope to show my true personality soon! --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Hi, I’m Sammy. I’m a collie beagle mix born approximately 3/17/21. I have the legs of a collie, but the beagle side of my personality is what comes out the most when it comes to sniffing. When I came to NDLB I was heartworm-positive and had a skin issue. I just finished my heartworm treatments and as you can tell from my pictures my fur has grown back beautifully. I get complimented on my coloring a lot when out for walks. Once I decide you’re my human I will stick to you like glue. I do well with my foster parent's dogs but sometimes if they are playing, I will mistake it for aggression and growl. I quickly stop if told no. Other than that, I get along great with them. I would be a great only dog since I love my humans. I go to the office with my foster mom and do well with all the customers that come in and the pesky office cats I just ignore. I’m quiet as far as barking unless I see deer or other critters on my walk. I sleep well all night on a dog bed in my foster parent's bedroom. I prefer not to be in a crate.  I do have separation issues when my foster mom leaves me at home and I have escaped from the house twice but as soon as she pulled up, I was right there by the car. This might be because I go to the office with her every day but it is something that needs to be considered. My foster parents think I’m super smart and maybe training and longer daily walks or a fenced-in yard would help with the separation issues.  I’m a very happy girl and love my walks but also don’t mind a good snuggle on the couch or right by your feet. Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $395.00 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 5:33 pm

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.  Do you want to meet me? I will be at Unleashed Hounds and Hops (200 East Lyndale Ave N, Minneapolis, MN 55405), for an adoption event Thursday, November 21st from 6:00-8:00 pm . I will be there! Please email inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com for questions regarding the dogs.   Hi there! I'm Rhys, a sweet and cuddly Great Pyr Mix. I'm a handsome boy, weighing in at 45 pounds and still a puppy, so I'm growing and learning every day! At home, I'm all about the cuddles. Whether it's on the couch, bed, your lap (even though I'm a bit big for that), or basking in a sunny spot, I'm happiest when I'm close to my humans. I'm also quite playful with other dogs – I love a good game of chase and splashing around in a kiddy pool. I might be a bit clumsy, but I've mastered the art of tucking and rolling when I tumble – hee hee! Belly rubs are my favorite, and I'm always ready to give you lots of kisses when you need them. I'm almost potty trained – just need to stick to a good schedule. I'm getting better with my crate, too. I might bark a bit at first, but I settle down quickly. I'm still working on my leash skills, but I go for daily walks and enjoy them. I know some basic commands like "sit" and "down." I'm great with other dogs of all sizes, and while I love having doggy friends, I could be happy as an only dog too, as long as I'm not left alone for long periods. In fact, I would thrive with other dogs in my forever home so hope you have some playmates for me. All in all, I'm a low-energy, affectionate pup looking for my forever home where I can continue to grow, learn, and share all my love. Could that be with you? *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 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.  T his 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.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.

If you are looking for a dog with brains, beauty and brawn, I may be just the guy for you. It is obvious I am a big boy but that doesn't mean I’m not a lap dog! I love to curl up as tiny as possible and sit right in your lap. I’m a young guy at about 10 months old and weigh around 50 lbs, with a little mix of Pyrenees, Husky and maybe a few other things! My foster family says I’m a mellow dude for my age, and I’ve fit in nicely with the older resident dogs. I love to snuggle up with my people and go on walks (or a good run!), where I might keep an eye out for squirrels and other curious creatures. My people tell me I’m a "Velcro dog" because I love staying close—I’m a big fan of being near my humans! I’m smart and eager to learn, especially with treats as motivation. I already know “sit,” and I’d be super excited to keep learning more commands with you. Because of my mix of breeds, I can be a little protective, especially around new people, so I’d do best in a calm, adults-only home where I can focus on bonding with my family and building trust. Just so you know, I am scared of some men so would need some patience and time to be friends. Walks are one of my favorite things, though I’m still learning not to pull so much. A fenced yard would be ideal, too, since I’m a bit of a flight risk if I get spooked by something unfamiliar. I’m working on my potty training and getting pretty good at signaling when I need to go out. And while I haven’t made peace with those fluffy cats, I get along great with other dogs, especially when they respect my need for space sometimes. A canine buddy who can keep up with me would be awesome! I’m a bit of a softie with droopy ears and eyes that (I’m told) make it hard to say no to me. If you’re looking for a smart, cuddly, and adventurous buddy, I could be just the guy you need. Let’s meet—I can’t wait to find my forever family! **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.

Welcome Maizi to CCPAL Foster Program. Maizi is a 4-month-old Smooth Coated Collie/Australian Cattle dog and maybe some Pyrenees. She is about 30 pounds right now and should be 55 full grown. These pups are good with other dogs, good with kids, good in a crate and they love water. Marina is the most water dog one of this puppy litter. Dad looks like an Aussie and Border Collie and the mom looks like a Lab and Pyranees. These puppies are well cared for in their foster home. They have beautiful shiny coats and all of them are sweet and submissive. They are shy in new environments but they all warmed up quickly to affection. Maizi met all kinds of new people and she was supper sweet to everyone she met. She is not a big shedding pup and she has a gorgeous shiny coat. She would be great with an active outdoorsy family. She would love to be with a family with children. We like them to be 8 or older. She has all her vaccines and is taking heartworm and flea medication monthly. She is currently in Texas and can be adopted locally 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. His adoption fee is 400 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.

These babies were brought to us after a lady’s neighbor left the pregnant mama. She kept the mom but could not keep her babies. This is a fun group of pups! They aren't very loud, do not bark a bunch unless playing. They do well in a crate, usually just go to sleep. Very sweet group that would do well with any type of family. They will probably do well with some exercise but a yard isn’t necessary if walked enough. They would do well on hikes or other outside adventures.

Location: Otsego, MN Elena is just the best type of dog. She is about a year old, house and kennel trained! She has the energy of a puppy but sleeps through the night! A bit smaller stature, I would guess 40ish pounds. She absolutely loves playing with toys and the resident kids/dogs, loves a good snuggle and getting so much better on the leash. She loves to play, so an active family would be ideal! Last but not least, look at that fur. It is beyond beautiful.

Location: Spirit Lake, IA Hi, my name is Laurel but my foster mom calls me Lolo- a pint sized ball of energy. I love to run around my yard with my fur friends and splash in the pool! I like dogs that are my size or bigger and it does take me a few days to warm up to them. I do well in my kennel or left out in a room for a few hours. I love my toys but I do tend to want them for myself so I'm learning to share. I sleep in my fosters room at night and do a great job all night. I am such a sweetheart and I love my humans! I'm still learning some manners but I've been doing great so far. I would love to join your family and find my furever home! ---------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Location: Sioux Falls, SD This is squash! She is so sweet and loves the kiddos in her foster home. Squash does take a little bit of time to warm up to new adults. She's so sweet! She takes a minute to warm up to adults. Squash will cower and hide if they move too fast but with time she does warm up. Although she doesn't love the kennel she will go in it and is fine when she is in there. Squash just needs a family who is ok taking their time to get to know her but once she does she will be your best friend!
