Collie puppies and dogs in St Louis Park, Minnesota

Hi! My name is Henry Waternoose, and I am from Arkansas! From his foster: Puppies don’t get much better than Henry Waternoose. He’s well behaved, easy going, and gentle. He sleeps through the night, happily greets strangers, and is highly food motivated which makes training easier. Need a buddy for the kids? Henry thinks tiny humans are great! Have a dog already? Henry loves to play! Although his name is from Monster’s Inc, his mission is not to collect screams but rather lots and lots of snuggles. Henry doesn’t like to snuggle up next to you. Henry likes to snuggle on you. If you think Henry sounds like he’s a good fit for your home it’s because he probably is.

Temp foster needed from 12/31 - 1/4! Please email fostersupport@thebondbetween.org if you can say YES to fostering this animal! Hi, my name is Carol, and I am from Tennessee! From her foster: She loves walks and runs, does well on a leash, and has mastered some basic commands. I'm working on house training; it's a work in progress with her but she's coming along. She's good at going in crate when directed to do so, but will howl/bark for a little while before settling down. She’s wonderful with other dogs and absolutely adores people. Ace snuggler. Very sweet temperament that's on the calmer side. But also game for adventuring. I don't have cats so unsure if friendly with them but I have no reason to think she wouldn't be.

Hi, my name is Mona and I am from Oklahoma! From her foster: Meet Mona! Mona is a 7-month-old Collie/Australian Shepherd mix with a big personality and an even bigger love for people. She settled into her foster home quickly and wants to be part of everything you’re doing. Mona is very smart and has already started picking up basic commands, showing just how eager she is to learn. She loves going on walks, playing in the snow, and romping around with dogs of all sizes, especially her foster’s small dog. Mona is on the higher-energy side and will do best with an active home that can give her plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. While she can get hyped up easily, she also settles down well. She’s been doing great with potty training, has had only one accident, and sleeps quietly in her crate at night. Mona is spayed, nearly done with her meds, and ready for her forever home!

I am looking for a foster starting on 12/17! If you can say YES please email fostersupport@thebondbetween.org. Hi, my name is Dakota, and I am from Tennessee! From his foster: If you're looking for a sweet, energetic companion, look no further! Dakota is the perfect blend of loveable fun and spunky energy. This happy pup has a heart of gold and loves spending time with people – whether it's playing, cuddling, or just hanging out. Belly rubs? Yes, please! Dakota can’t get enough of them and will happily roll over to show you his soft belly. He also loves long walks to explore the world, and loves the snow, so if you enjoy getting outside, he's your ideal buddy! With his fantastic personality and love for life, Dakota is ready to bring joy and laughter to your home. If you're ready to add an easy going, people-oriented, dog to your family, Dakota is here, waiting to shower you with love. Dakota has a strong prey drive and is very interested in squirrels, rabbits, and other small animals. For this reason, a cat-free home would be best as we’re unsure how he would do with cats. Dakota sleeps soundly in his crate at night, settling down quickly, but he’s a bit more vocal during the day when left alone. He eventually quiets down, but a home where he isn’t confined to a crate for long periods of time would be ideal for him. Dakota knows basic commands like "sit" and "no," and he’s working on “stay” and “off.” With a little training and consistency, he’s sure to keep growing into an even more well-behaved companion.

Hi, my name is Ringo, and I am from Tennessee! From his foster: Ringo is a sweet young dog. He is quiet, gentle and submissive. He approaches new people and things cautiously, head down, until he figures out the situation. Then his tail starts slowly wagging and he comes over for some pets. Ringo will take quickly to some training. He’s a smart boy who’s a good listener. He runs to you when he’s called, and doesn’t like to be too far out of your view when he’s out in the yard. He enjoys hanging out with my resident dog. While Ringo’s social skills are a little awkward at his young age, he gives things a try. He responds nicely to any feedback he gets from my dog, and either backs off or starts to play, depending on the vibe. He has been playing nicely with my dog outside. Taking turns chasing each other, doing play bows, rolling on the ground to let the other dog wrestle with him, and vice versa. Ringo has not been around cats or kids yet. On walks, he is protective of me when he sees other dogs and people, but he responds really well to redirection and praise when he feels safe. He is a loving dog who wants to be with his people and be happy!

Zuma is 11 years old and is very spry for her age. She has tested positive for Lymes 5 years ago and vets will not vaccinate her in fear of a relapse. We are moving and the new place will not allow for unvaccinated pets. She is a great dog and is great around people/kids

Sure, I have limited feeling and movement in my hind legs, but I love life just the same! I mean not only do I have a wonderful wheelchair that allows me to run around but I also get to do about 10-15 minutes of physical therapy, stretches, & exercises every single day to help ensure my muscles don’t atrophy. Some people may not like doing a PT regimen, but I don’t mind it at all because it’s more quality time with my people. I would love to find a family that would also bring me to a chiropractor, acupuncturist, and even swimming!! Oh my gosh not only is playing fetch in the water is SOOOO much fun but I am an excellent swimmer! I do not like a lot of commotion and I’m a bit shy around new people especially if they get too close, but I love to be with MY people and I’m getting braver every day! I have a high prey drive so cats are probably not a good fit for me; I’m good with kids as long as they don't try and climb on me; and I do well with most other dogs although I can be a bit selective with small dogs. But mostly, I am easy going! I am a super smart boy who’s not only potty, crate, and leash trained but I know a bunch of commands like “down”, “kennel/crate”, “outside”, “wait”, and a release word “ok”.  Also, I have learned how to go up and down stairs! I can climb 3-4 steps of any surface on my own, and a full flight of carpeted stairs on my own if supervised. Sometimes I need a little help to get started if the landing is slippery like vinyl or hardwood. Ideally my forever home doesn't have a lot of stairs inside and going outside.  I am a happy, playful, and very loving boy who loves giving hugs, kisses, & snuggles, playing fetch in a huge yard, going to the dog park, playing with my toys, going for leashed walks, getting lots of belly rubs, and eating treats especially fruits & veggies! YUUUMMM!!! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I also love to practice Barn Hunt…I may not be able to compete, but I sure do have a great time practicing! Hee, hee!! Anyway, I am an incredibly sweet bundle of love who is simply looking for patience and unconditional love from a committed fur-ever family that not only will NEVER give up on me but who will help me continue my physical therapy routine and keep me safe. I promise that I am totally worth it, and I will love you more than you could EVER imagine! Love & snuggles, Galleta. *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. 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. 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.
