Collie puppies and dogs in Princeton, Minnesota

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.   This is Otto, who will be coming to MN in December to start his new life! As the longest resident of an animal shelter in KY, we're so happy we're able to give him a new start up north. He's said to be 4-5 years old and around 77lbs. Otto originally arrived to the KY shelter 2-3 years ago as part of a court case, and during his time there, he's gotten to be a favorite and plays well with other dogs. Otto has long legs, so he may have some lab or shepherd breeding in him too... who knows! When he arrives in MN and settles into his foster home, we'll update his bio with more info!

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

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 get along with strangers, kids and other dogs. They do well in a crate, usually just go to sleep. They would do well on hikes or other outside adventures. They are in a puppy teething mode so beware of fingers!! They are in need of all basic puppy training and just loads of love! A wonderful addition to any family. She is currently being fostered in TN but we use the most animal-friendly transport on the road. Rescue Riders Pet Transport.

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. 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, 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. 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.

Found on the streets of Texas with his siblings several months ago, Duke is still waiting for his happy ending and is excited to find it in Minnesota! He loves treats and is eager to please, which makes training him a fun and rewarding experience. Duke enjoys running and exploring the backyard, where he can let his curiosity shine. He has the cutest funny face when he's intrigued by something new, making him an absolute joy to watch. Though he can be shy at first, Duke warms up with patience and love, and he will thrive in a home that understands his need for time to adjust. Because of his initial shyness, older more considerate children, who understand his need for space, will be best for him. If you're looking for a loyal, gentle dog who just needs a little encouragement, Duke is ready to be your new best friend! Duke is from Texas.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hello! My name is  Ohni , and I’m a sweet, somewhat shy pup ready to find my forever home. My fosters say I’m a genuine joy to be around—an easygoing girl who loves spending time with adults, seniors, and other dogs, especially the young, bouncy ones! Here is a video of me and my foster's puppy. I adore stuffies—they’re my favorite! I’ll toss them into the air, chase them around, and then find a cozy spot to quietly and expertly de-fluff them. You can check me out in action in this video. I also enjoy a good game of chase, even if my toys tend to bounce off my adorable face rather than get caught. Here’s another video of me playing with my foster’s pup!  When it’s time to relax, I’m housebroken, crate trained, and excellent on a leash, so I’m ready for calm walks or peaceful evenings. I love settling down with a bone or a stuffed Kong or curling up on a comfy dog bed near my foster while they read. I’m a gentle treat-taker (though I get a little quick for extra-special snacks like ham!) and an affectionate shadow—I’ll quietly follow you around the house, even leaving my nap to be near you. I may take a little extra time to warm up to new people, particularly men, but I’m eager to make friends and build trust with my humans. While I’m a wonderful companion, I do have a few things I'm still working on to be my best self. I can get startled by sudden movements, like clapping or quick gestures, and I’m happiest in a quieter, low-energy home. A sturdy plastic crate suits me best since I’ve managed to Houdini my way out of a wire one before! I’m also working on shedding a few pounds to be my healthiest self, but I’m already the perfect size for snuggles—smaller than your average Border Collie. If you’re looking for a playful, loving pup who thrives on cuddles and calm, I might be the perfect match for you! Ohni is from a local impound. f you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. I am a middle-aged, goofy pup with the perfect combo of spunk and chill in me.  I don't want to sound too full of myself, but I am really the entire package for anyone looking to add a new member to their family.  I absolutely love life in a warm home with people who love me, friends to play with, couches and beds to sleep on, and yummy treats to fill up my belly!  I am fully potty trained and crate-trained with no issues, I let my people know when I need to go outside.  I am very attentive to my people and watch them closely, which I'm told is really good because I am deaf and can't hear them!  My favorite toy is the tennis ball.  I like to chase it and bring it back to do it all over again.  I am very sweet and like everyone I have met so far.  Right now I live with a family with young adult children and 2 other old lady dogs.  Sometimes I try to play with the other dogs here, but they aren't much into playing.  We do enjoy going on walks together though.  I especially enjoy my cuddle session with anyone in the family who will let me get as close as I can to them.  My foster family was told that I have also lived with cats and kids in the past, and I was such a good girl with everyone.   I'm looking for my forever family, could that be with you?     Gemma is from a local impound.
