Yorkie puppies and dogs in Delano, Minnesota

Hi, my name is Sage, I am from Alabama. From her foster: Sage came to rescue from a hoarding situation. She is very sweet, but also very hesitant to trust people. She gets along beautifully with dogs and is very gentle. We have learned that she loves mealtime and treats. Sage is still very leery of being touched and I have to corner her to be able to pick her up. She sleeps in bed with all of us at night. She is really good about using potty pads. It has been too cold to start going outside and she has no idea how to walk on a leash so we are staying in for now. She will likely need a dental (paid for by The Bond Between) and will be scheduled for a spay. She is visiting with the vet soon. If you’ve ever wanted to help a dog learn what it is like to be loved, adopting a dog from a bad situation is extremely rewarding. You will need patience, a gentle, quiet personality, and more patience. Sage will feel most comfortable in a home with another dog. I don't know if she has ever met a cat, but I doubt she would hurt one. She is a flight risk. From the Vet: At Sage's Intake vetting exam with our Rescue Medical Team, Sage was noted to have several missing/discolored teeth. TBB will be pursuing a Dental COHAT surgery for Sage to further evaluate, clean and remove any teeth that are severely diseased. This procedure could potentially be coupled with her spay with one or our partner hospitals, so as soon as we are able to medically clear her for surgery with healthy blood work, TBB will schedule the procedure.

Hi, my name is Calvin. I am from Alabama. From the Vet: Calvin came from a situation with poor conditions/medical care. His skin needed some TLC that we are supporting with medication/shampoo and other anti-itch therapies. He has fairly severe dental disease so TBB will plan to send him for dental surgery with his neuter procedure. He will receive a thorough cleaning with a possibility of extractions. If adopted shortly after the procedure, he may need some softened kibble or canned food for a period of time. Beyond that, we hope that he finds a soft and deservedly loving forever home. He has been through so much and we can't wait to see him thrive!

Hi, my name is Carl, I am from Alabama. From his foster: Carl is a sweet and shy boy who is looking for a quiet home. Carl was recently rescued from a Puppy Mill that was shutdown due to neglect and living conditions. He has had a rough start on life and needs a quiet, understanding home that can help him learn what love is. At this time he is not potty-trained because he is too scared of the new environment of the back yard. We have been taking him outside to get used to it, and are hopeful that once it is no longer a scary place, he can be house-trained. Carl needs a home with no small kids as fast movement and loud sounds are terrifying for him. Carl has done well with the small dog in the house, though he has been pretty shutdown, so there is not much interaction.

Hi, my name is Adele, I am from Alabama. From her foster: Adele was rescued from a hoarding situation in Alabama. It was a very rough start for this sweet girl. She was malnourished, underweight and fearful of human touch. Adele has made lots of progress, healthier and her playful personality is emerging. She's learning to trust humans are good but is still fearful of being touched. Each day Adele comes a bit closer. She eats from my hand, likes to nap on the couch near me, and follows around the kitchen when it is meal time, wagging her tail and tapping her paws in excitement. With time and patience, Adele will be a wonderful companion. She wants so badly to bond. Starting to vocalize when I leave the room. Adele is good about using pee pads. She likes her kennel but prefers to sleep on the couch. Haven't taken her outside on a leash yet. Trying to take it slow. Adele needs someone who is willing to be patient and let her gain trust in people. It's important she is given time to bond without forced contact. She is a flight risk due to her anxiety and fear of people.

Deaf and recovering from past ear infections, she’s learning how to navigate the world with curiosity, courage, and the help of the dogs around her. After a rough start to life, she’s finally discovering what it means to feel safe—and her personality gets cuter every day as her confidence grows. When she first arrived, Cheyenne would hide, army crawl when approached, and bark anxiously in her crate. Now, she eagerly approaches the people she trusts, initiates contact and even warms up to new faces faster than expected. She still army crawls when picked up, but it’s clear she wants connection—she just needs time and patience to feel fully secure. Cheyenne absolutely adores other small dogs and learns best by watching and following their lead. A confident canine companion is essential for her continued progress. She also needs a home where someone is around most of the day; being alone, even briefly, is very stressful for her, and she will bark if she can’t see her people. Her silly side is emerging too—she dances on her hind legs at mealtime, proudly carries around toys, leaves, or bits of paper, and growls playfully to get your attention while wiggling her whole butt. She loves car rides and is a perfect passenger, and at night she sleeps curled up next to her foster mom, warm and content. Cheyenne is doing well with potty training on a schedule but still has accidents. She’s learning simple hand signals and would benefit from continued positive&#226&#128&#145reinforcement training tailored to her hearing impairment. A fenced yard is important so she can safely explore, sniff, and enjoy her surroundings. This gentle, goofy, affectionate little girl will thrive with a patient adopter, a calm home, and a friendly dog to show her the ropes. With time, love, and understanding, Cheyenne will reward her family with deep trust, sweet cuddles, and the joy of watching her continue to bloom. 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.

This little Yorkie mix is a playful, fun-loving guy who loves to run, run, run—and then run some more. Backyard zoomies are his favorite pastime, and he’s happiest when he has a furry friend to keep up with. Zander thrives with other dogs and will need a doggie companion in his forever home to show him the ropes of indoor life and to join in his energetic play sessions. Zander is smart and extremely food motivated, which makes learning new tricks and commands a fun challenge. He’s still a bit shy with new people and can be cautious at first, but every day he gains more trust and confidence. With patience, love, and the right environment, he blossoms into a sweet, loyal little buddy. He loves small squeaky toys, chew bones, and anything that encourages playtime. Potty training is almost mastered when he stays on a schedule, and while leash walking is still a work in progress (he sometimes freezes when unsure), he’s crate trained and does wonderfully for car rides. Zander is affectionate, playful, and endlessly entertaining—a clever little guy who will fill your home with love, laughter, and the pitter-patter of tiny paws. He’s looking for a family that understands his need for a furry friend, is patient as he gains confidence with new people, and is ready for a lifetime of play, snuggles, and adventure.
