Maltese puppies and dogs in North St Paul, Minnesota

Hi, my name is Calli. I am a 2 year old Maltipoo. I was a breeder release mamma, so I am extremely scared. Right now, I don’t know how to be a dog, but the other dogs in the house are showing me the way.  They already taught me how to play with dog toys. I am currently on anti-anxiety meds, and they have helped me relax enough that my foster mom can finally touch me! I like to be wherever she is and will frequently go and sniff her as long as she’s not looking. If she does see me, I take off running.  My favorite place to be and where I feel safe is snuggled up with my foster mom in a baby bjorn.  There are cats in my foster home, and I don’t mind them at all.  I’m still pretty darn cute even though I was shaved because my fur was matted. Will you be my forever family? Please??? Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, dental, 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:  $750.00Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 18, 2024, 4:50 pm

Hi, my name is Carrie and I am a Multipoo approximately 6 years old. I am very scared and shy. I find myself shaking and hiding from new people and noises. However, I have surely started liking all that human contact. I will sit on your lap (you will have to help me get on your lap) to get loved on and will just fall asleep until you get up. I have been known to bark at the cats but I know I wouldn't hurt them. I love playing with other dogs who are my size. I really don't like the kennel and prefer to sleep on a bed next to yours. I have started to learn what a loved dog's life is supposed to be like. I am looking for a patient, kind, and loving person to let me sleep next to for the rest of my life and learn the "real" dog's life. Will you be my forever family?  Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, dental, 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.

****Zeke is part of a bonded pair with Lucky Hi. I'm Zeke. I'm a 1 y/o male morkie ( Maltese/yorkie mix) who is part of a bonded pair along with my shitsu sister, Lucky. I am considered a "designer dog because 2 small, non shedding dogs were bred together. I get along well with other small dogs and all people, including children. I am playful and love toys and bones. I also love to sleep in foster mom's bed. My energy level is low and I don't bark unless I hear the UPS guy. I prefer to stay indoors. I am good on the leash and love walking in the neighborhood. I am crate trained, pee pad trained, and almost house broken. I do get nervous in the car if I am not with my sister. So, if you are interested in 2 well behaved, small dogs have your peeps call mine and we'll get this love affair started. Adoption fee local in Texas is $700 for the both of them, the out of state fee is $1200, this includes the transport fee for both of them as well as the fuel surcharge.

Let me give you the scoop on what makes me special. At 7 pounds and 7 years young, I may be small, but my personality is mighty. I'm friendly, curious, and playful—always up for a good time! Despite my luxating knees, I don't let it slow me down. With a little extra care and some glucosamine, I'm ready to tackle life head-on. I'm a social butterfly who loves making new friends, whether they're furry or not. Playing with other dogs and even cats? Count me in! Squeaky toys are my jam, and I'll happily gather them in my favorite bed for a play session. Plus, I'm a foodie at heart—I'll devour treats, fruits, and peanut butter like there's no tomorrow. While I may not be a fan of the kiddos under 12, I'm still working on mastering the art of potty training. I'm a quick learner, though, and with a little patience and consistency, I'll get there in no time. At night, I sleep quietly in my kennel, but I might get a bit chatty when I hear someone stirring in the morning. Now, about those stairs—I'm still getting the hang of them. I prefer homes with minimal stairs to spare my precious knees, but don't worry, I don't mind being carried. And if you lay out a trail of rugs on those slippery floors, I'll be forever grateful, especially in the kitchen where I love to supervise meal prep. In a nutshell, I'm cute, snuggly, and full of personality. I adore cuddling on the couch and striking my best playboy pose when you want to scoop me up. So, if you're ready to open your heart and home to a furry friend like me, let's make it happen! *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 adopters 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.

But for now, maybe a home without small kids would be better as commotion, loud noises and men seem to make me more tense. I don’t have too much desire to play right now as I’m still trying to get accustomed to life in a loving environment.  I’m low key but I ventured out a bit this week and actually played with a toy!  Hold your applause! I don’t really have a fur bestie so I can be an only pet if you’re home most of the day.  Why, you ask?? Well, I tend to have lots of conversation with people and like to voice my complaints to the peanut gallery often (bark bark).  I am crate trained but that darn potty thing is a bit trickier.  However, when you keep me on a good schedule, I feel I’m close to making it happen! I don’t require a fenced yard either, as I’m working on my leash skills.  Granted, it’s got more work to be had but we can do it!  I have put my noodles together and with lots of practice, I know “sit, come, kennel, outside and go potty!” I’m food motivated which is why my noodles are functional. Don’t think you’ve missing what you want to know.  I wanted to wait to tell you but this kid right here loves to cuddle!  I’m super sweet (with a bit of sauce).  Once I know you’re one of the good ones, I am always happy to see you know will run right up to you looking for pets and loving!  So, what are you waiting for?!  Let’s get this loving on the road!! *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.

My name is Lupe, and I’m a gentle five-year-old Maltese, weighing in at a petite 8 pounds. I may be little, but I’ve got a lot of heart—I’m just still working on sharing it with humans! I’m still shy around people and a bit skittish, but with the help of my foster family and the friendly dogs here, I’m learning to trust and explore the world. I feel safest observing everything from my cozy dog bed, keeping an eye on my furry companions and occasionally following them around the house. I’ve even made a best friend—another female dog here—and she’s teaching me the ropes, which makes me feel more comfortable. I think I’d really love a home with a calm, confident dog who can show me that I don’t need to be worried around people. As for my skills, I’m still learning the basics like potty training and crate time. Right now, the crate isn’t really my favorite, and I’m still getting used to the leash, but I think a fenced yard would make me feel a lot more at ease. When it comes to treats and toys, I’m just starting to figure out how fun they can be—chewing on toys and exploring the yard are all new adventures for me. My foster mom says I’m making progress every day. I’ve gone from spending all my time in the kennel to sleeping on my bed right beside hers! I’m a quiet observer, but I do bark when I get excited for dinner or when the other dogs start barking. With patience, love, and the right furry friend by my side, I know I can blossom into the happy, loyal companion I’m meant to be. So, if you’re looking for a gentle soul who’s learning to trust and ready to love, maybe I’m your girl! *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.
