Blue Lacy puppies and dogs in Golden Valley, Minnesota

My given name from my foster mom is exactly who I am. Asta... this name means "divine strength", "love", and "star-like". I was abandoned by my first family on the side of the highway for a few months with my sister Kinsley. She was my protector during that time. I was terribly traumatized by being abandoned. Today I'm a shining star with beautiful grey eyes that match my coat. I like to play and go on backyard adventures with my sister and dog foster family. I like everyone and get along with other dogs and I'm a bit submissive and respectful towards everyone. I have beautiful pleading grey eyes that draw attention and make most ppl say awwwww and have a low key nature about me. We love each other very much and want to stay together for life! Please find it in your heart to adopt us together! We promise years of love and fun :) Local adoption fee together is $300 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee together is $600 (includes transport to your area, $50 temporary fuel fee will be included)

Sure, I have limited feeling and movement in my hind legs, but I love life just the same! I mean not only do I have a wonderful wheelchair that allows me to run around but I also get to do about 10-15 minutes of physical therapy, stretches, & exercises every single day to help ensure my muscles don’t atrophy. Some people may not like doing a PT regimen, but I don’t mind it at all because it’s more quality time with my people. I would love to find a family that would also bring me to a chiropractor, acupuncturist, and even swimming!! Oh my gosh not only is playing fetch in the water is SOOOO much fun but I am an excellent swimmer! I do not like a lot of commotion and I’m a bit shy around new people especially if they get too close, but I love to be with MY people and I’m getting braver every day! I have a high prey drive so cats are probably not a good fit for me; I’m good with kids as long as they don't try and climb on me; and I do well with most other dogs although I can be a bit selective with small dogs. But mostly, I am easy going! I am a super smart boy who’s not only potty, crate, and leash trained but I know a bunch of commands like “down”, “kennel/crate”, “outside”, “wait”, and a release word “ok”.  Also, I have learned how to go up and down stairs! I can climb 3-4 steps of any surface on my own, and a full flight of carpeted stairs on my own if supervised. Sometimes I need a little help to get started if the landing is slippery like vinyl or hardwood. Ideally my forever home doesn't have a lot of stairs inside and going outside.  I am a happy, playful, and very loving boy who loves giving hugs, kisses, & snuggles, playing fetch in a huge yard, going to the dog park, playing with my toys, going for leashed walks, getting lots of belly rubs, and eating treats especially fruits & veggies! YUUUMMM!!! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I also love to practice Barn Hunt…I may not be able to compete, but I sure do have a great time practicing! Hee, hee!! Anyway, I am an incredibly sweet bundle of love who is simply looking for patience and unconditional love from a committed fur-ever family that not only will NEVER give up on me but who will help me continue my physical therapy routine and keep me safe. I promise that I am totally worth it, and I will love you more than you could EVER imagine! Love & snuggles, Galleta. *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.

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, March 16th from 10:30-11:30 am. Please email inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com for questions regarding the dogs. Hello, my name is Tacoma and I am a happy gal from Texas ready to find my forever home in Minnesota. I am an incredibly beautiful 6.5 year old Australian Cattle dog mix. I am a bit on the smaller size – so perfect for snuggling into a comfy dog bed! I also really like laps and my humans. I like to see them and be by them when I can. I am such a smart and fun girl, but there are a few things you should know about me. I am deaf, but I don’t let that stop me. I have picked up the routine in the house very quickly. And I know that if you are patient with me, I'll keep learning more and more stuff! I also have a medical issue called “fly biting”. The dogtor thinks it is related to my diet. With a low carb diet and daily Prilosec, it is manageable. While it might be weird, or nerve wracking for you when you first see it, it doesn't last long. In fact, my foster dad says I shouldn't worry that it will make people not want me. He says it isn't a big deal and that he never even notices anymore.  When I came to Minnesota it was also discovered that I was heartworm positive. While those pesky worms are gone and I'm a very healthy girl now, I will need to be on year-round heartworm prevention. I know that's a lot for a girl, but I think being honest is the best policy.  Isn’t that what you humans say?  And even though I get nervous about it sometimes, my foster dad reminds me that we all have quirks and that I should stay positive about finding my forever home. He says that I'd do best in a calmer home and that there are loads of families with calm homes, and that I just need to be patient.    I would love to find a forever home with another dog that can help me stay on a routine and keep me busy. I am not a high energy dog but a busy girl following my people and the other dogs around the house and yard. I don’t need a fenced yard since I am leash trained but would do best in a fenced yard to run and play in.  If running in a fenced yard isn’t possible, it’s okay if I have someone who can help me burn some energy out on walks, runs or teach me agility skills (I am very smart after all!).  I love meeting new people and really like watching passing cars or passing people.  I think everyone is my friend, they just haven’t met me yet so I like to try to meet everyone!  I do try and play with the cats in my foster home, so if there are cats in my forever home they would need to be dog savvy and slowly introduced. If I didn’t have my foster sister to romp around and play with, I might be too interested in the cats and I don’t think they would enjoy how much fun I am. I love being around my people and following them around – they are helping me work on my manners like not jumping on people or barking at strangers. The barking doesn’t really bother me since I can’t hear it anyway, ha ha, but I guess strangers may not like it.  I’m doing well and will keep practicing my manners.  I do love face and neck rubs with an open hand. Back scratches aren't my thing and might make me nervous. But, when the face and neck rubs are really good I will even snort! I also really love laps, like really really love laps. I had to learn that laps are sometimes things vs all the time things. Apparently, humans can't really drive when I want to sit on their lap in the car. Who knew? Instead I just sit quietly and look out the window, but you may have to remind me I can’t sit on your lap in the car, ha!  There are some neighbor kids that I get to hang out with and we love each other. They like to hold my leash and hug me, and it is fun to get to hang out with them. I love naps too. And, even though I can't hear, I know if you get up and will wake myself up after a few moments to come find you! Remember...I love to hang out with my people. I am potty trained and crate trained. I live with a few other dogs and really enjoy the company of one in particular – she is a great buddy and we like to play together. Sometimes I do get into trouble, and it kinda makes my foster dad laugh, although he knows he shouldn’t. He says that I will pick up anything that isn’t nailed down – shoes, socks etc and carry it around – then my foster sister grabs the other end and the circus begins. Play time is great!! I love to be part of the action and would love to find a forever home that will love me unconditionally and help me be the best girl I can be! I know you will love me with all your heart, because I already love you! I hope to meet you soon!
