Poodle puppies and dogs in Golden Valley, Minnesota

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.  Moe is a handsome standard poodle with a gentle soul and the sweetest, most easygoing personality.    Moe is truly a dream companion. He loves nothing more than being close to his people—whether that’s relaxing on the couch soaking up pets or curling up in bed with you for a full night of sleep. He’s calm, affectionate, and just has that comforting presence that makes you feel like he’s always been yours. He’s wonderfully well-mannered in so many ways. Moe is fully potty trained (outside only), walks nicely on a leash, and rides beautifully in the car—he’ll simply lie down and enjoy the ride. He knows several commands like “sit,” “come,” “shake,” “up,” and “go potty,” and is an overall smart, eager companion. He also does great with other dogs, though he can be a little protective over toys, and he completely ignores cats.  Moe is comfortable being crated when needed, though he may let you know he’d rather be out with you at first—he does settle down after a bit. He enjoys chewing on bones, working on enrichment like frozen treats, and—true to poodle form—may occasionally “deconstruct” a soft toy or two.  As a poodle, Moe is considered hypoallergenic, making him a great option for those with allergies. Moe has been working through some mild tummy sensitivity and is currently on a gentle diet, which has been helping. He may occasionally have some minor stomach upset, and his future family should be comfortable continuing to monitor and support him as he settles in.  Moe is the kind of dog who will seamlessly fit into your life—loyal, loving, and always right by your side.  Moe is a soft, steady heart who will fill your days with quiet companionship and unconditional love. 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.

Meet Cammie!! Have you ever wanted a standard poodle without having to go through the puppy stages? This is the girl for you!! She is an absolutely wonderful dog and comes preloaded with extra commands such as "sit" and "shake". Cammie is a well-behaved young lady who gets along with her peers, dogs and cats alike. She also walks well on a leash, is house trained, and is heart worm negative. If this sounds like the pup for you, please complete an application at https://www.saveastray.org/forms/form?formid=3635 Once the application is approved, a FaceTime will be set up for a virtual meet and greet. Since we are located in Mobile, AL, this will give you the opportunity to see the pet interact with other dogs, people, and see a bit of their personality. Transports leave every week alternating between the NE and the Great Lakes. We use the most animal-friendly transport on the road. Rescue Riders Pet Transport. Thank you for your interest in a Save a Stray pet.

Hi, my name is Atlas and I am from Georgia! Atlas is the sweetest dog ever. He loves to cuddle and snuggle up with you in the bed or on the couch. He is fully potted trained and house trained. He walks decently well on the leash but he does get a little distracted when he sees other dogs, but just because he loves to play! He is very good in the bath! Overall he is just the best boy in the whole world!!

Hi, I’m Mikko — a 4-year-old Standard Poodle with a big heart, sharp nose, and lots of potential. I’m house-trained, crate-trained, neutered, and calm and polite in the home. I’m a sensitive, loyal guy who takes a little time to warm up, but once I trust you, I’m all in (and yes — I give excellent full-body hugs).I had upland hunting training and still have strong instincts. I love following scent and have a high prey drive, so I’m not a fit for homes with small animals or livestock. A securely fenced yard is a must.On leash, I can get overwhelmed by other dogs, but I do much better with space and structure. I’d thrive with an experienced, active owner who can give me guidance, consistency, and a job.I’m looking for a calm, patient home and a gradual introduction so we can build trust. If you’re looking for a smart, driven, and loyal companion, I’d love to meet you.🐩 Mikko

**Currently Residing in a Foster Home.**I’m Merlin, a handsome 3-year-old grey Standard Poodle with a soft heart and a gentle soul. I was found as a stray, and when no one came to claim me, I made my way to Animal Ark to start fresh. I’m a sweetheart through and through. I am sensitive, smart, and eager to bond with someone who understands me. I do best in a calm home with adults or older teens (16+), where I can feel safe, loved, and appreciated for the loyal companion I’m ready to be. I may have had a mysterious beginning, but I’m hoping my next chapter is full of comfort, kindness, and a family who sees just how great I am.

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.  Want to meet me? Come to the Underdog Headquarters (3345 Dakota Ave, St. Louis Park, 55416) on Sunday, May 17th from 10:30 am - 12:00 pm. Please email inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com for questions regarding the dogs. Matcha is a 12‑pound Yorkie mix with a heart full of love and a personality that’s all about her person. She’s an incredibly affectionate, cuddly little girl who wants nothing more than to be close to her human. She has a playful side and enjoys toys and fetch, but her favorite place in the world is curled up right next to you. She gets along well with other small dogs, though she doesn’t rely on them for comfort — she’s truly a “people dog” who prefers her human over canine company. She’s gentle, intelligent, and wonderfully well‑mannered. Matcha knows all her basic commands, is 100% potty trained, walks beautifully on a leash, and is easy to groom. She stands patiently for baths, nail trims, and even long grooming sessions. Matcha's biggest challenge is being left alone.  She is quiet and waits by your exit door if left in the home without closing her in a room, or worse, using a kennel.  If she's restrained or isolated, she will bark nonstop and fight for freedom.  Because of this, a family who is home most or all of the time is best for this love bug.  She also will not reliably potty while on a leash, so she requires a fenced in area to be successful. She’s cautious with new people at first but warms up gently. She’s great with kids, good with small dogs, and a lovely match for seniors or anyone wanting a devoted companion. She’s quiet, even‑tempered, eager to please, and incredibly loving. If you’re home often and looking for the sweetest little shadow who will adore you endlessly, Matcha is your girl. She will return every bit of love you give her — and then some.

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.      Hello, my name is Benji! I am a very handsome young adult male Mini Aussiedoodle who doesn’t like a lot of commotion, but I love to cuddle, and I prefer women. Truth is, I am highly sensitive and reactive to ‘stranger danger’! That’s right, I react to people approaching the front door, coming into the house, and even people approaching my kennel. I know…it’s not something I’m proud of but I’m working on it…really, I am!! In fact, foster mom is trying to help me associate new people (strangers) with positive outcomes and I am confident that I will be successful in time but for now it is still a work in progress. In the meantime, mom sometimes puts a muzzle on me and although it doesn’t bother me at all I prefer, of course, not to wear it so my new family will need to commit to working with me on training. Muzzle training may make me look scary, but it allows me to safely meet and work on my training so I can be happy!  After all, consistency, patience, loving encouragement, and LOTS of mental and physical stimulation are the keys to my success!!! I am good with older kids, cats, and other dogs; and my favorite activities include going on my daily leashed walks or car rides; hiking; exploring; eating treats like plain Greek yogurt or pumpkin; playing with small squeaky toys and other dogs; chewing on Benebones; and running zoomies in the yard so the yard at my new home will need to be fenced! Hee, hee!! I also hope to have a small, confident doggie companion who might help me overcome some of my anxiety about strangers!!! By the way, I almost forgot to mention that I am a prodigy…no, really! I know everything from how to do my business outside to a deluge of commands like “sit”, “down”, “come”, “kennel/crate”, “wait”, “leave it”, “outside”, and “go potty”!! Thankfully, I enjoy learning, especially when I have a strong, confident, respectful leader, and I really love pleasing my people!! Anyway, foster mom says that I am the “most affectionate” dog she’s ever met and as hard as I try, I simply cannot disagree with her! Hee, hee!! All I need in my life now is YOU…a patient, unconditionally loving forever family who will not only NEVER give up on me but will commit to helping me overcome my fears!! I promise that not only am I totally worth it, but I will enrich your life in ways you could never imagine!!! Love, Benji Some of our dogs are obtained from commercial breeders where they spent their lives getting comfort from their canine friends. Others have come from various situations where they are lacking confidence in humans. In turn, most require another companion dog in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog, and do not currently have a dog residing with you, please understand that your home might not be the right fit for many of our dogs.   This dog has received grooming with us at Underdog Rescue, but was likely neglected of grooming attention until he came into our care.  It can sometimes take months to get their coat healthy as Doodle mixes require daily brushing.  Grooming appointments occur every 3 months and cost on average of $150 per appointment.  Adopters should be prepared for such expenses.  Underdog Rescue cannot guarantee the non-shedding or hypoallergenic qualities of this dog.    ***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.
