Miniature Poodle puppies and dogs in Mound, Minnesota

COOPER 2.0 I'm Cooper, a 2 year old Shih Tzu Poodle blend with energy, goofiness, and lots of sweetness! I will do well with walks and snuggles with my people. Because of this I would do best in a home with older children as I jump on my people with excitement. My foster is working on this behavior, I do obey the command "OFF!", but sometimes I can't contain my excitement. I also am very vocal about letting my people know when someone or something is going by. I will need a calm home with people who can give me consistent rules to obey. I am happiest when I'm snuggled up with my people while they watch their TV shows at night, and love to cuddle up with them on their bed. I am very obedient, know Sit, Stay, & Off. I'm housetrained when I'm on a schedule.  Don't be confused by my photos, one is before I was groomed, and the other is after. I like either haircut - I'm adorable either way! I would do well in a home with either no other dogs (so I don't have to share my people) or one other dog. No cats - I tend to chase them.  My adoption fee, including MN state taxes, is $429.10. I'm available to adopt within a 50 mile radius of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/Saint Paul. For more information about me, please submit an adoption application and my foster mom will be in touch. Please click  here  to fill out an online application.

Hi! My name is Chaparro and I am from Minnesota. From his foster: Chappy is an adorable 10 year that loves to be cuddled. He also like to have space to relax and take a nap. He is house trained so no kennel is necessary but he has been kenneled in the past. He cries for a few minutes when I leave but then settles down. He loves to tell me when something is going on outside. He does well on the lease and likes exploring the backyard. Chappy would do well in a female only home. Perhaps with some training he will get over his fear of men. He gets along with other dogs and older children. Chappy is just a lovable little guy that needs a home where he feels loved and safe.

Hi! My name is Cookie and I am from Minnesota. From her foster: Cookie a yorkipoo breeder release. She has diabetes and is blind, but still manages to be sweet and silly. She loves being with her humans and snuggles. She has strong opinions about being separated and will use her voice to let you know exactly how she feels. She is also pretty quick to settle down. She does seem to go potty and poop on a schedule but is also still prone to have accidents in the house. She doesn't have accidents in her kennel, on the furniture,or while being held. She does enjoy small walks and does okay on a leash. Because Cookie is blind I do feel that she would benefit from another small to medium sized dog in the house. She would need someone willing to keep a good schedule for her Insulin and to follow through with veterinarian appointments. From the Vet: I am Cookie and I have been cleared for adoption! After TBB helping to address my medical issues I will share where I am at with all of them. My diabetes is currently managed on 1.5 units of insulin twice daily and a special veterinary diet. My next recheck glucose curve (typically a day that I stay at the vet for monitoring throughout the day) will be due approximately 2-5 months from September 2024. I was seen for a mammary mass removal surgery recently and the good news is that the biopsy showed that the tumors were benign with good margins. This means that the removal procedure is likely to be curative for these masses and we do not expect me to need any future care for this issue. It is always good to routinely monitor for any masses and have them evaluated in the future should any present. Now that my mass removal is done and my diabetes is stable, I can be scheduled for my dental procedure. This procedure + 1 round of medications and a recheck appointment can be included in my adoption contract. If adopted prior to the dental, I can still go to my new home and settle in, but the adopter will be responsible for transport to this appointment.

I'm a very handsome Miniature Poodle, and I'm discovering the joys of comfort and love in my foster home. Each day brings me more confidence, and I'm eager to share my overflowing love with a special someone—maybe that's you! I am a bit timid, sudden movements, commotion, and loud noises still make me a bit uneasy. However, I'm getting better at facing these fears every day. When foster mom is still, I'm all about those loving pets and cuddles. But if she's on the move, I keep my distance—I even bolt if she walks toward me. I know commands like "outside" and "stop," and leash and potty training are still on my to-learn list. I'm 95% potty trained, especially with a consistent routine. A fenced yard is a must for my adventurous spirit. I'd love to have a canine companion to show me the ropes, help me 'dog' properly, and boost my confidence. We're working on some manners, and my foster pals are excellent teachers. Walking on a leash needs some practice, and a confident pal by my side would be perfect. Despite being easily startled and a bit hand-shy, I've found joy in playing with toys, furry friends, and even those mysterious creatures called cats. I'm all about giving kisses, nibbling fingers, and enjoying ear scratches. Zoomies are my specialty, especially in the fenced yard or on the stairs. I've got some manners to polish up, like waiting for my turn and distinguishing between toys and household items – hee hee! I really am a sweet boy who is simply looking for the patience, unconditional love, and security that I SO richly deserve from my own fur-ever family! I really hope that YOU will be my new family because my heart is overflowing with love that I want to share with someone very special!

I'm Heston, a 2-year-old male Poodle weighing in at 10 pounds. At first, I might seem a bit shy around new people and situations, but once I get comfortable, I'm a playful and cuddly little guy. I'm really smart and curious, always eager to learn and explore. I’ve been learning about trust and now I’m more apt to stay put than run, when approached.  Once I’m picked up I just melt right in for love.  That’ll likely be my personality all the time once I know you’re my people.  I’ve just started sleeping on my foster’s leg and inching my way up to hopefully a lap soon. I do have a fear of thunderstorms, so during those loud, stormy nights, I might need some extra comfort. I haven't been around young kids yet, but I think I'd do great with respectful children who understand how to be gentle and kind to me. Potty training is a work in progress for me. I’m trying hard to follow along and go potty outside but as close as I am to getting the hang of it, I might need a little transition time to learn it at my forever home too. I'm not the biggest fan of leashes and new things can make me nervous, so a fenced yard is a must for me. I've been on occasional walks, though, and I do know the command for “stay” which is what I’m told when they want to wrangle me in the harness.  I get along well with other dogs of all sizes, and while I don't need another dog in the house, having a furry friend to play with would be fantastic. I'm usually pretty quiet, except when the other pups start barking or when it's time for breakfast and dinner – then I might join in the chorus. One of my best qualities? I'm a world-class cuddler. I love nothing more than spending all day being held or sitting on a lap, soaking up all the love and affection. If you're looking for a sweet, but timid companion who is learning to be braver everyday and promises to adore you endlessly, I'm your pup! *Please note tha t 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.

When foster mom says “Hey Buddy” I will come right away because she might have some good treats! Yummy! I am initially shy with strangers, but learning to be brave and with a little time we can be friends. I like to play in the big fenced yard and chase around with the other little dogs. I especially like to catch the leader and you can’t catch me – hee hee! I am getting used to coming back in the house when the other dogs go in- but I am still unsure of the sliding door, my people need to help me in. Good thing there are other dogs in the house, they have shown me so many new things about living in a home. While I would thrive with another dog in my forever home, it isn’t required. Although it would be good if someone was home a lot with me if I am the only dog. Other things I like to do is sit on foster mom’s lap and take a snooze. She says I have Velcro on my tummy because I like to stick to her – hee hee! I am really hoping you have a me-size spot available next to you! My second favorite place to relax are the dog beds. Since there are several dogs in my foster home, I have lots of options. I am a smart boy – I am doing great with potty training on a routine. In fact, so good that foster mom has been letting me sleep in her bed with the rest of the gang. We haven’t worked on leash training – so I require a fenced yard in my forever home. I am also learning the words “out”, “sit” and “stay”. My favorite word is “up” because that means up the stairs and into the bed. We are learning to play with toys, I have started to help myself to toys and trying to figure out catch. I will need more practice in my forever home. There are cats in my foster home and I don’t mind them. One is bigger than me and I tried to smell him – he boxed me a few times so I left him alone. I am a little too curious, so it would be best if there were no cats in my forever home. Not that I am a bad boy, but my curiosity might get me in trouble. Ready to help me be brave, learn new things and most important – do you have a me-size spot available next to you on the couch? Well, then let’s be buddies! *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.
