Meet Blackie– the ultimate lap dog! Blackie is a sweet, affectionate 9 year-old Terrier mix who’s happiest when snuggled up in your lap for a long nap or lounging by your side for some quality bonding time. He’s the kind of dog that brings quiet joy to a home—calm, loyal, and eager to love his human. Within hours of arriving at his foster home, Blackie was happily asking for back scratches and cozy lap time, proving just how quickly he bonds with those he trusts.Blackie is fully house-trained and a polite little gentleman when it comes to potty breaks—he’s happy to go on leash or explore the yard. He’s also crate-trained and willingly goes into his crate at night or when needed. While he does bark for a bit when his foster mom leaves for work, but will quickly settle in for his daily naps.Blackie is mild-mannered and doesn’t require a high level of activity—just a quick walk around the yard or a short stroll will do. He loves sniffing out new smells during his explorations and makes the cutest little grunting sounds while doing so, guaranteed to make you smile!He’s still getting used to life with other dogs and seems a bit nervous around them, so he may prefer to be the only pet in his forever home or introduced slowly to resident dogs. He’s shown no interest in cats during brief encounters and would likely do fine in a calm, quiet environment.Blackie is a gentle soul who wants nothing more than to love and be loved in return. If you’re looking for a loyal, cuddly, and easygoing companion, Blackie is ready to fill your life with quiet joy, laughter (thanks to his cute little habits), and unconditional love. He’s patiently waiting for the perfect lap to call his forever home—could it be yours?https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $250.

We are a retired couple. We have been traveling extensively and just bought a home in Gulfport. All the traveling is hard on Chachi, he needs a place to be without moving around so much. Chachi is a loving little dog who loves to snuggle with you. He can be on his own at home. He likes his "home" kennel. He is good with people once he gets to know them, same with kids. At first he can be very nervous and barking at strangers. He is good on walks and is overjoyed to ride in the car. He is mostly good with other dogs, sometimes barks at larger black dogs. He came from Texas where he was raised by a family that could no longer keep him. We have had him three years and we do love him, but think he needs a more stable home life. Not so much traveling around.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.    Hi there! I’m Betty, a petite, 11-pound Jack Russell Terrier with a lively personality and a whole lot of love to give. They call me a "velcro dog" because I love to stick close to my favorite people. At home, I’m a total cuddle bug, happiest when snuggling up on the couch or in bed. I can be a bit reserved with new faces, but once I warm up, I’m all yours! I’m a high-energy girl, and I would thrive with an active family who loves to play and be outdoors. I’ll admit, I can get into a little mischief if I’m bored—so plenty of toys and fun activities keep me on my best behavior! I’m smart and love learning new tricks, especially if treats are involved. I even know how to sit and do a little "dance" for a snack, and I think I’d be a superstar in agility or obedience with the right training. I would be a great fit for someone with dog experience that understands training and setting boundaries for me. I’m getting the hang of leash walking, and I do best with a harness to keep me safe as I get excited and will pull on the leash. I get along well with my foster dog siblings and would love to have a furry friend in my forever home, especially one who likes to run and wrestle with me. While I enjoy the company of other dogs, I’m a little too rowdy around cats, so I’d do best in a home without them. Potty training is coming along, but I’ll need a little encouragement on those chilly days! I do bark at strangers outside the home and might need gentle reassurance around loud noises like fireworks. When my foster family is away, I stay in my kennel, though I sometimes get a little whiny if they’re home and I’m in there. I just want to be near them! My favorite things? Following my foster mom everywhere, chewing on bully sticks, and playing fetch. I’ll need a home with a fenced yard since I can be a bit of an escape artist, especially when I’m in the mood to chase after something. I’m jaunty, confident, and ready to be your new best friend—let’s make some memories together! *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.

I’m a 4-year-old shy Wirehaired Fox Terrier with a heart as gentle as my scruffy little face. I may be a bit timid at first, but with a bit of time, patience, and kindness, I’ll show you just how sweet I really am. I’m about 19 pounds and love quiet spaces, soft pets, and cozy spots where I can feel safe. New things can make me nervous, so I’m still getting used to the big, bustling world around me. Sometimes, I freeze up or even shake a bit, but if you’re calm and steady with me, I’ll start to trust you—and once I do, I’ll melt right into your lap. I love giving gentle kisses, and I’ll snuggle up close for more pets when I’m feeling safe. I’m learning how to play and absolutely love squeaky toys, especially ones that dart around like little squirrels! Tug of war is one of my new favorite games, and I can even hold my own against my 50-pound foster sibling. Since I’m still practicing leash walking, I’d feel most comfortable with a fenced yard where I can explore and play at my own pace. I do best with a calm, confident dog friend by my side; having another dog to follow helps me feel brave, especially on walks or when we’re out and about. I’m also crate-trained, which is where I go to feel extra safe when I need a quiet moment. My ideal home would be a peaceful one with someone who’s patient and gentle, willing to go at my pace. With a little love and understanding, I’ll reward you with all my gentle kisses and quiet loyalty. Let’s start this journey together—I know I have so much love and courage to share. *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.
