Story
In the spring of 2023, we got a call about 4 dogs who were in bad shape and living in the woods a couple of hours from me. We set traps and were able to rescue 2 of the 4. We tried and tried to get the other 2, but we were unable to do so. Some of the local people continued to try to get them, as well, but couldn’t. I am still very sad about having to leave them behind. Chester and Chloe were near death when we rescued them. They were starving, their skin was horrible, and of course, they had every known parasite. They are healthy now. Chloe is still very shy, and I feel that she needs a special home with a lot of love, patience and attention! We do not see any aggression in her. She has been at Blue Ribbon Kennels now for 14 months and needs a forever and loving home so badly. She has never had the opportunity to live inside a house and to be part of a family. Chloe is in Mississippi. When adopted, she will come fully vetted and will be transported by Rescue Riders, a very reliable transporter. All of this is included in her adoption fee.

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.    DOB:  03/22/2017 Requires another dog in home: No Okay with dogs of all sizes: Yes, sometimes selective with small dogs Okay with cats: No, has prey drive Okay with children under 12 years old: Has done fine with kids 4+ that are respectful  Weight: 49 pounds Requires a fenced yard:  No,  with limited mobility he needs a special helper harness for his back end. A yard would give him the freedom to roam.  Note: dogs must always be leashed whenever outside of a contained area Hello, my name is Galleta, and I am an incredibly handsome and happy adult Shepherd/Cattle Dog mix. 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!

Nana has been in foster care with a MARS staff member since Aug 2021. During this time Nana has been working on all her life skills, with the help of our trainer.  At her annual exam on 6/7/22 she tested positive for heartworm. She went through heartworm treatment with flying colors. She has been retested for heartworm and is now negative. She needs to remain on monthly heartworm prevention, year round, for the rest of her life. Nana came to MARS with some significant fear based reactivity, stranger danger and trust issues. With the dedication of her foster and trainer she has improved dramatically and is ready to find her FOREVER home.  Nana will need to continue using these newly mastered life skills in her new home with a calm and confident human leader. MARS will provide training with her adopter during the transition.  While Nana is able to live in a townhome she would do best without shared walls as she does get vocal when she hears the door bell, loud noises, sees dogs or sees/hears people outside. Nana would LOVE a home with a big fenced yard that she can safely run around and have the zoomies. She loves to chill outside during the warm months! Once you are one of her trusted people she is sweet and cuddly and just wants to be with you. She would prefer to be the only pet in her new home.   If you are interested in learning more about Nana please complete an application!

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. //   Find our applications at www.midwestanimalrescue.orgAdoption Fee $400 plus taxGracie is the happiest and sweetest girl with a pinch of sass and goofiness (and she's the cutest). Her tail is always wagging and she loves to be around people. She loves looking out the window and watching cars drive by, neighbors walking their dogs, and keeping an eye on those pesky squirrels. She also likes to look out the window to keep track of us leaving and waits for us to come home. It’s the cutest thing to see her sitting in the window. She spends most of the day looking out the window so she would love it if her forever family had a spot for her to watch the world go by. She finished her heartworm treatment at the end of January, but she is still on restricted exercise until the end of March when she can slowly be eased back into exercising. Once she’s able to exercise again, she would love to have a fenced in yard so she can run, chase squirrels and rabbits, and lay in the sunshine. She would also like to go for daily walks. She does well on a leash but will pull if she sees a squirrel or other small animal. She is a cuddle bug, especially in the morning so she would love if her forever family spent time in the mornings recharging her cuddle battery. She does not like the kennel, she gets very stressed, but she does well having the run of the house. As long food and trash are put away, she doesn't get into anything. She’s also not a fan of the car, but that could probably get better with positive reinforcement training. She is very smart and picks things up quickly. She hasn’t met any cats or dogs yet living with us so I can’t speak to how she reacts to new furry friends, but she has met kids and does well with them.

Story
Meet Maynard (or Mater, as he's affectionately known)—a 60-pound, 3-year-old Heeler mix with a big heart and an even bigger personality! This energetic and friendly pup loves to explore the great outdoors and snuggle up with his favorite human. He's a smart, curious boy who loves toys—especially squeaky ones—and he’s always up for a game of chase, even if he hasn’t quite mastered retrieving yet. After spending a year at a shelter, he's adjusting quickly to the comforts of home life. Maynard is fully house-trained with no accidents and willingly goes into his crate without fussing. Future training will be a breeze because he's already making great progress with leash walking and curbing his enthusiasm for jumping up. This sweet boy thrives on attention and loves to burrow into you for pets. While he does well when left alone during the day, he’ll need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to stay happy. A fenced yard would be ideal to let him run and burn off energy, though an active family willing to provide outdoor adventures could also keep him content.Maynard may need some guidance on making friends with other dogs, or may prefer to be the only dog in the household, as he's a little dog-selective when he plays with his foster siblings. He hasn't had much interaction with cats or kids while in our care, so careful introductions are recommended.He’s looking for patient adopters who will continue his training, embrace his playful spirit, and provide the love he deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal, energetic companion to join your adventures, Maynard is ready to meet you!If you are interested in this dog, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $450. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, heartworm/Lyme test, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and Bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchip implant (including registration). Adoption fees INCLUDE a mandatory sales tax of 7.525%. Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. Due to post-adoption services provided, we prefer to adopt within a 150-mile radius of the Twin Cities. However, we will consider up to 250 miles if the foster agrees to travel requirements and staff approval.

Story
Hi! My name is Ozzy and I am from Texas. From his foster: He loves taking naps, going for car rides, walks, or just hanging out with his humans. He is doing very well with potty training and crate training. From the vet team: After coming into rescue, it was discovered that I had a serious heart murmur. An echocardiogram with the University of Minnesota Cardiology determined that the cause of my murmur was 2 heart defects. PDA (Patent ductus arteriosus - a defect that causes the ductus arteriosus to not close properly at birth) and pulmonic stenosis (a narrowing of the pulmonic valve). I had heart surgery where a device was placed in my artery to close the hole caused by the PDA defect. My recheck echocardiogram performed in Feb 2025 showed that the device placed in my heart well placed and helping to regulate my conditions. I will not need further surgeries and the cardiologists expect me to live a very close to normal life. I will be on medications life long and they recommend annual echocardiograms along with annual wellness exams (until otherwise recommended) to ensure the device and medication plan is still compensating for my conditions well. Once me neuter is completed I will be ready to go to my forever home! Could that be you?

Story
Meet little Bramble!! This little girl is such a cutie. She is a blend of Australian Shepherd x Australian Heeler. She is probably one of the sweetest little deaf girls we have had. Don't let her deafness fool you, she is wicked smart, loves her people and want to be with them. Bramble gets along with other dogs, is crate trained, and almost completely house trained. A fenced yard is preferred, solely because she is deaf and this is merely for her safety. Bramble is looking for a home that will be able to communicate with hand gestures and will give her the direction she needs. Often times deaf dogs will bond very tight to their people or other family pets and they will utilize them as their ears. Don't let this detour you from looking at her, she really is a little gem!! Bramble came into rescue through transfer from another facility where she came in as a stray. Bramble is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, tested negative for heartworm, and is microchipped. Bramble is available adoption. Fine Print: All dogs of NWMNAR are screened at the headquarters in Ada, Mn until they are vetted. They are then transferred to foster homes throughout MN and some into ND so they can get used to lifestyles with a family in a home. Adoption fee for an adult dog is $300 + Mn tax. Adoption fee for a dog over 3 years of age is $300 + Mn tax., pup/dog1 year to 3 years is $400 + Mn tax. Under 1 year of age $500 + Mn tax. Free adoption applications can be found on our website at: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/NMA/Dog. Because NWMNAR is not a public shelter, meet and greets do not take place until an application has been approved and a home visit has been completed in person or virtually. Meet and greets will take place in a public setting along with the adoption if compatible. Dogs can be met in Ada, MN weekday and weekends, or in our alternate office location in Maple Grove, MN on weekends only. Once we receive your submission, our application review team will be in touch with you. Please have patience while they look over your application.

These pups are in Minneapolis, Minnesota too!
