Shoelace

Keep checking back for upcoming events I will be attending!

If you’re looking for a happy, affectionate sidekick who’s always up for fun, Shoelace may be your perfect match! This young mixed-breed girl is an absolute delight with a heart full of love and a playful spirit that makes every day more fun.

Shoelace loves everyone she meets and is eager to please her people. Whether she’s chasing toys around the yard, chewing on a favorite bone, or curling up for snuggles after a day of adventure, she’s happiest simply spending time with her family.

Her favorite place to be is outside, soaking up everything a Minnesota summer has to offer! Because she’s still working on her leash skills, a securely fenced yard is needed, or a commitment to continue her leash skills, so she can safely run, play, and burn off her puppy energy.

Shoelace is potty trained, crate trained, and does wonderfully with other dog-friendly dogs. While she’d certainly enjoy having a canine friend, she doesn’t require one if her people are home most of the time and can give her plenty of love and attention.

Loyal, playful, and endlessly sweet, Shoelace is ready to become someone’s very best friend. If you’re looking for a fun-loving companion who will keep you smiling and then happily snuggle up beside you at the end of the day, Shoelace can’t wait to meet you!

I’m a growing puppy and I have not yet had a lot of experience with crates, kids or cats and I might bark if something alarms me, but I really love to learn and hoping for a family who will take me to a basic obedience class to continue to help me build confidence and dog skills. Ideally my forever home would need to be home during the day to help me with my potty training and not leave me for breaks longer than 3 - 4 hours. If you are looking for a best friend, please fill out the puppy application. The more info you include on the application the better so I can find a good match for my forever home. Get your toy box ready!

**Obedience classes are required when adopting this puppy from Underdog Rescue. Many of our puppies have a mama who was not properly socialized before coming to Underdog Rescue. Since coming to Underdog, this puppy has been in a socialized and loving home, but that needs to be continued with its Adopters. Training classes teach puppies the ins and outs of being a pet while creating a bond with their new Adopter. Obedience classes are key to creating a relationship with your puppy while having it be a happy and successful member of society. Proof of Obedience Class registration is required for this puppy before adoptions can be finalized. If you would like some suggestions, we would be happy to send some trainers who have experience with Underdog Rescue, but a Basic Obedience class in your area should work!

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.
