Pekingese puppies and dogs in Minnesota

Maycee is a charming 7 year-old Pekingese/Pomeranian mix with a heart full of love and a personality as big as her fluffy tan coat. Weighing in at just 11 pounds, she is the perfect lap dog who thrives on companionship and affection. Maycee is extremely tolerant, playful, and absolutely adores her humans! She quickly forms deep bonds and will greet you with excited little dances on her hind legs, almost as if she’s crying in happiness when you return home.House-trained and crate-trained, Maycee has excellent manners. She’ll politely let you know when she needs to go outside by sitting near the door and looking at you expectantly. At night, she sleeps in either her crate or the bed without issue, snuggling into her favorite blanket. She is currently an only dog and may do well with other resident dogs given the right fit. She’s a bit apprehensive when other dogs pass by the house, but this also means you’ll get a built-in guard dog! We aren’t yet sure how she’d do around cats and a meet and greet would be recommended prior to adopting to a home with cats.A natural entertainer, Maycee has a collection of quirky habits that bring joy to everyone around her. She loves rolling around and snorting after coming in from outside, and her signature look—her tiny tongue poking out due to her toothless grin—is sure to melt hearts. Her favorite pastime is playing fetch with her beloved squeaky toy, and she absolutely loves her daily walks. While she enjoys the outdoors, she must always be on a leash unless she’s in a fully fenced yard.If you’re looking for an affectionate, playful, and endlessly devoted companion, Maycee is eager to be by your side—ready to snuggle, stroll, and bring endless joy into your home!If you are interested in this dog, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $450. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, heartworm/Lyme test, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and Bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchip implant (including registration). Adoption fees INCLUDE a mandatory sales tax of 7.525%. Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown.

However, we will consider up to 250 miles if the foster agrees to travel requirements and staff approval.

Please email inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com for questions regarding the dogs. Hi!  I'm Rush. I’m a 1-year-old Pekingese weighing in at a whopping 11 pounds of pure heart-melting fluff. My hobbies include lounging with my doggie friends, cuddling with children, and pretending I don’t hear the mailman when he knocks. I’m a pretty easy-going guy – just don't expect me to walk on a leash alone. I’ll happily follow another dog though, because why walk alone when you can have a buddy? I’m still working on my potty training (hey, we all have our struggles), but I’m already acing my crate game. I do know how to let you know when I’m alarmed, but that’s about the extent of my barking skills—so I won’t drive you crazy, promise. My ideal home has a resident dog who can show me the ropes of doggy life. I do love my Greenies, by the way. Oh, and I’m a total cuddle champion, so if you're looking for a partner in snuggles, I'm your guy. Loud noises and chaotic situations are not my jam, so a calm environment with a fenced yard is where I thrive. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful, and adorable little fluffball, I’m ready to be your new best friend. 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 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.   ***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.

Hi! My name is Farrah and I am from Iowa. From the foster: Farrah is the cutest dog with a sassy attitude! You just want to pick her up and cuddle and kiss her....but that isn't where Farrah is at all! She loves her head scratched. She doesn't like to be held but is happy to sit next to me and have me occasionally pet her. My favorite part is when I talk to her she tilts her head back and forth as if she understands everything I say. She is mostly potty trained... I believe the accidents have been when she was sick and couldn't help it. She is currently on a bland diet to work on her stomach issues. She does have some resource guarding issues when it comes to giving treats.  Farrah loves consistency! She will bark at all new guests especially men. She continues to bark for quite some time before settling down. She has no interest in others even petting her. She is warming up finally to others in my household as she will go up and sniff them but does typically walk away before they can pet her. Farrah is a very timid/shy girl. She doesn't need a lot of exercise due to her knee issues. She is ok on a leash but doesn't like to walk a lot and unsure if that is pain so I don't push her. She prefers dogs that stay out of her space and are more at the low energy level. If they get in her space she will quickly tell them she is the queen! She sleeps on the couch just fine without making a peep. She has no interest in being in a crate and has not been destructive at all when left at home while I am gone. From the Vet: I have bilateral MPL (luxating patellas) that will require two knee surgeries, completed at different times to allow one side to heal. I need a foster or adopter who is willing to help me heal after surgery with activity restriction, rehab and recheck exams.  Additionally, I am currently being treated for a scratch on my eye so my future foster/adopter would need to apply medication and get me to weekly appointments until this is healed It was determined that I do not need stenotic nare (short nose) correction as my quality of life is good right now but this should be monitored by a primary veterinarian in the future. At home dental hygiene is also recommended and it is likely I could require a dental in the future.
