My name is Logan!

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) for an Sunday, January 26th from 10:30-11:30 am . Please email inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com for questions regarding the dogs.

Hi there, I'm Logan! I'm a 4-year-old Miniature Australian Shepherd, and at 22 pounds, I’m the perfect size for snuggles and adventures alike. Let me tell you a little about myself.

I’m smart, charming, and full of personality! I love having a job to do, so if you’re into training or need a helper around the house, I’m your guy. I pick up on things quickly, and I’m always eager to make my humans happy. My herding instincts sometimes kick in when I’m excited—like during meal times or morning play—but with a little guidance and positive reinforcement, I’m learning to be my best self.

I’m about 90% potty trained—just keep me on a schedule with plenty of potty breaks, and I’ll get there in no time! I’m crate trained and will happily settle in my crate with a treat. If I can see you from my crate, I’m content, but if not, I might let you know how much I’d rather be with you. I’m a morning pup, so I’ll greet you with a little bark when I’m ready to start the day.

When I’m not learning or lounging, I love playing with soft toys—sometimes I even collect them around the house! I enjoy running in the yard and exploring. I get along great with other dogs and enjoy short play sessions with my furry friends. I can be a little shy at first, especially with new people (especially men), but once I get to know you, I’m all about love and loyalty. Oh, and treats? I’ll take just about any you offer me!

Loud noises and too much commotion can make me a bit nervous, but with a calm and understanding family, I’ll feel safe and secure. I’d do great in a home where my humans are around most of the time, whether or not there’s another dog. While I don’t need a fenced yard, I’m working on my leash skills, so a little patience as I build my confidence would be awesome.

If you’re looking for a sweet, smart, and wiggly companion who will stick by your side through thick and thin, I think we might just be a perfect match! What do you say—want to meet me?

*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.  

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:

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.
