Poodle puppies and dogs in Minnesota

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet our sweet, playful approx. 1.5-year-old mix Paco! Likely part poodle, he has low-to-moderate shedding, but we don't believe he's completely hypoallergenic.  He’s motivated by love and affection, great with dogs and is unfazed by the couple of cats we've had him come into contact with. He's gentle but high-energy, perfect for active families, especially with kids! For the most part he is crate-trained but not a fan of the crate, he will bark for a bit before settling down. He'd prefer a home that he doesn't need to be in a crate that often (he is house trained and not big on chewing things.)  He also loves looking out the window and being in the same room as you, following you around to keep an eye on things. He’s trained not to jump on furniture and usually does great with that. Loyal, he doesn’t beg for food, though he thrives on attention and affection. He enjoys car rides (though he can be a bit clumsy) and loves his daily walks or runs—after a couple of miles, he’s happy to chill and is worn out for a bit. While smart and eager to learn, he can get easily distracted when things are happening around him. He doesn’t play much with toys but loves interacting with people and other dogs. Though he barked the first couple of nights in his foster home, he quickly adjusted and is doing great! He might not be ideal for an apartment due to occasional crate barking, but he'd be a fantastic match for someone with a yard and/or who enjoys getting outside for walks. Overall, he's loving, affectionate, wants to please, and a loyal companion who could be just perfect for the right family.    Paco is from a local impound. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.

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! I'm Cristal! I am a very loving girl that loves to be with my people. When my people come back home after being gone I flop right over onto my back for belly scratches. I am excellent with other dogs and love to wrestle and do zoomies with my foster siblings both inside and outside! I do also know how to relax and am what some would call a professional sun bather. Foster mom says I am always a glass half full kind of gal- always smiling, always ready to please my human. I am fully potty trained and do well in my crate. I do need a little more help on leash training but I am smart so it shouldn't take too much work. I do get a bit carsick so I will need some practice in that department. If you are looking for a pup who will make you the center of the world I am her! I’m a growing puppy and I have not yet had a lot of experience with crates, kids or cats and I might bark if something alarms me, but I really love to learn and hoping for a family who will take me to a basic obedience class to continue to help me build confidence and dog skills. Ideally my forever home would need to be home during the day to help me with my potty training and not leave me for breaks longer than 3 - 4 hours. If you are looking for a best friend, please fill out the puppy application. The more info you include on the application the better so I can find a good match for my forever home. Get your toy box ready! **Obedience classes are required when adopting this puppy from Underdog Rescue. Many of our puppies have a mama who was not properly socialized before coming to Underdog Rescue. Since coming to Underdog, this puppy has been in a socialized and loving home, but that needs to be continued with its Adopters. Training classes teach puppies the ins and outs of being a pet while creating a bond with their new Adopter. Obedience classes are key to creating a relationship with your puppy while having it be a happy and successful member of society. Proof of Obedience Class registration is required for this puppy before adoptions can be finalized. If you would like some suggestions, we would be happy to send some trainers who have experience with Underdog Rescue, but a Basic Obedience class in your area should work! P   lease 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.   This puppy requires an application fee. This fee must be paid within 24 hours or your application will be considered void.  We will not review or contact applicants that have not completed the payment portion. Puppy Applications will be responded to within 5 business days, after receipt of the application fee.  Please understand that paying the fee does not guarantee you will be approved to adopt the puppy. Our goal is place puppies in homes that are suited for their individual needs. You may be willing and able to provide a great home, but if it doesn’t meet the specific needs of the puppy, we will not approve your application. We accept applications for puppies until we have a candidate that meets all of the requirements needed for the specific puppy and they have been contacted to review the adoption process as well as agree to all of the terms to move forward. ***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.

Mona is a 2-3 year old Standard Poodle. She is about 35 pounds and does have a docked tail. Very sweet girl. She is a smiler when happy or excited. House and crate trained. Good with other dogs.

Get to know Wilma: Wilma's a simple gal, a southern belle, and currently recovering from a bad injury- she was found outside a "car repair" place.... they didn't know how to repair a puppy so she was taken to the rescue after she was found. It was a really scary and sad situation but for Wilma, it started her REAL life- one of love and eating regularly and having HOPE! She's an absolute cutie with her scruffy ears and few spots on her white coat. She has a pretty smile and loves to wag her tail. The rescue people think Wilma is a Standard Poodle/Sheepdog mix... she has such a wonderful and outgoing personality. She is great with all people she meets and the smile she shares will melt everyone's heart, so be prepared!!! She'll be living a bit more laid back right now as her recovery process progresses. No high energy play or crazy activities. But that won't be for long!!! She is still a pup and now that she is fixed up and fed well and LOVED by the rescue people, she has LOTS OF FUN and LOTS OF ENERGY :) Local adoption fee is $400 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $600 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Tiny is anything but! This big, fluffy guy is a 1-year-old, 62.2-pound Poodle and Lab mix! Tiny is energetic, always ready to play, and extremely smart! He would do so well in a home with someone who`s willing to take the time to train him and give him lots of enrichment. Here at the shelter, he loves working on different training skills, getting petted by the staff and volunteers, and staring at the cows next door while he`s on walks.Tiny is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines. You can visit him at The Babinski Foundation Animal Shelter Tuesdays through Sundays from 8:30 to 5:00 PM!

Meet Smokey, aka Smoke Show! This sweet senior pup only wants to love and be loved in return. He is a gentle giant who is a little nervous in new situations, but quickly warms up to anyone who will pet him. Smokey is great with our resident dog and our 3 active kids. Smokey has recently learned that dog toys are amazing and loves spending his time chomping on a good bone. He is fully house trained and is a great walking partner. Smokey  doesn't pull on his leash at all. While he would prefer to be close to or snuggling with someone, Smokey does great in his kennel during the day and all night long. He has shown signs of some limited vision, but that doesn't stop him from being the sweetest pup. Smokey really is a dream dog and will the the most loyal, best friend in his forever home.  Who is the lucky person who will be Smokeys loving home in his senior years? If you would like to meet Smokey, please visit spotslaststop.org and fill out an application.
