Dogs for Adoption in Hamburg, MN: 20 Dogs Looking for a Home

Dog friendly: Yes! Toby gets along with other dogs and would be happy to have canine companions!

Cat friendly: Absolutely! This sweet boy is good with feline friends, too!

Personality: Toby is an incredibly sweet boy who is understandably feeling a little confused and anxious right now. After losing his person and everything familiar, who could blame him? He just needs a patient, loving family to help him feel safe and secure again.

Fitness goals: Let's just say Toby has been enjoying the good life a LITTLE too much. He's currently sporting some extra Beagle fluff and will need a family committed to helping him shed a few pounds at a safe, healthy pace.

Think leisurely walks, appropriate portions, and a whole lot of encouragement. Toby is officially entering his fitness era!

But here's the thing about Toby.

He doesn't know he's considered a senior.

He doesn't know he's carrying a few extra pounds.

And he certainly doesn't understand why the person he loved isn't coming home.

All he knows is that his world has changed, and he's waiting for someone to make it feel right again.

Toby doesn't need a perfect family. He just needs a family who will love him.

Someone who understands that adjusting takes time. Someone who will celebrate the little victories as his confidence returns. Someone who will give him the security of knowing he's finally home again.

At 8 years old, Toby deserves more than uncertainty. He deserves cozy beds, sniff-filled walks, gentle affection, and a family who will cherish every single day with him.

His first chapter was filled with love. Let's make sure his next chapter is, too.

Personal space is simply not in her vocabulary. If you wanted a dog who respects boundaries, you might want to keep scrolling! Sensitive Doberman princess? Oh, 100%. Dixie has that classic Doberman sensitivity, especially when it comes to the WEATHER. Rain? Hard pass. Wet paws? Absolutely unacceptable. Being asked to go potty when water is literally FALLING FROM THE SKY? The audacity. Dixie would much rather be curled up somewhere warm and cozy, preferably under a blanket with her favorite human. And honestly, can we blame her? At just 2 years old, Dixie has so much life, love, and adventure ahead of her! She's looking for a family who will appreciate her sweet personality, embrace her Velcro Doberman tendencies, and understand that sometimes a princess simply does not wish to get her paws wet. If your dream dog is a beautiful, dog-friendly, affectionate Doberman who doubles as a personal space heater and professional cuddle companion, Dixie might just be your girl!

Azo has also shown that she can handle large crowds. This girl has the brains, the sweetness, and the potential to make an incredible companion. She's still young, still learning, and ready for someone who will invest in her and give her the life she deserves. Could Azo be the missing piece of your family? She's ready to trade training sessions for a lifetime of love, adventures, and a place to finally call home. Ayzal is in a foster to adopt home.

When he arrives, River will be fostered in a home with other Danes, so he’ll have friends to enjoy and keep him company. He is crate and house trained, rock solid, and has truly been there, done that. He will be going through heartworm treatment once he is with us, but we don’t want him to wait any longer. We would love to find his happily ever after soon, even while he is in treatment. River has spent his life far to long waiting and we know moving him to our rescue was the right thing for him. Let's find him a forever home. He is so deserving!!!!

If you adopt River, you will probably say you don’t understand why he wasn’t scooped up by another family. And you will be so thankful it was you. Interested in meeting River? www.uniteddobermanrescue.org

He’s also living proof that a big dog doesn’t have to make a big fuss about everything. He ignores his foster’s chickens and remains calm around other animals, even when other dogs are barking. When something catches his attention on a hike, he’ll stop and observe until he’s satisfied there’s no threat rather than immediately reacting. Inside the home? He’s a dream. Scooby isn’t destructive, enjoys a good chew stick, and simply wants to be near his person. But here’s where this big guy will steal your heart… Scooby is a certified LOVE BUG. He wants to be petted on his nose and head all day, every day. He’s happiest just being close to his human, soaking up affection and reminding you that sometimes the best part of life is having a loyal companion by your side. Think about it. A dog who listens, learns quickly, enjoys adventures, can coexist peacefully with other animals, knows his manners, and wants nothing more than to love his people. This is the dog who was almost out of time. Scooby deserved more than the final hours he was given. He deserved a chance to be someone's best friend, hiking buddy, couch companion, and forever shadow. Now he needs someone to give him the one thing rescue cannot promise forever: a home of his own. Could that be you? If you're looking for a wonderful companion to welcome into your life, please consider Scooby. He has so much love to give, and his next chapter deserves to be filled with safety, adventures, affection, and the promise that he will never have to wonder if his time is running out again. Scooby is ready for his happily ever after. Let's make sure this boy's story ends with a family of his own.

Brandy is a typical Dobe when it comes to her home and her person. She bonds closely with her human and will absolutely let strangers know she is there when they enter her territory. Once she knows you, though, you'll quickly see the sweet girl behind that beautiful red exterior.

Brandy has done well with the other dogs in her home. Any introductions to dogs or other pets should be done slowly, correctly, and with plenty of time for everyone to become comfortable.

Brandy has spent the last five years being someone's loyal companion, and now she's looking for someone who will be hers. She deserves a home that understands the devotion, intelligence, and protective nature that comes with loving a Doberman—and, most importantly, a family ready to make her part of their world again.

This red beauty has so much love and loyalty left to give. Could Brandy be your girl?

Klaus is a smart cookie, too. He knows his basic commands and has an excellent recall, so when you call, he comes running (probably with a goofy grin). He's never possessive of his food or toys, and he is affectionate to the core, the kind of dog who will happily lean into you for one more cuddle.

He's up to date on his vaccinations and is currently being treated for allergies. Like any good student, Klaus has one subject he's still working on: leash walking. With a little patience, structure, and continued training, he'll be strutting down the sidewalk like a champ.

Klaus has so much love to give. All he needs is a family who will offer patience, guidance, and most of all, a permanent place to call home. Could that be you?

Penny’s leg may ultimately need to be amputated, but because she is still so young, we are confident that she will adapt incredibly well if that ends up being the best option for her. We will be working closely with our veterinary team and following their recommendations to make sure Penny receives whatever care is truly in her best interest.

Right now, Penny is focused on being a puppy — learning, growing, and soaking up all the love she deserves. She is looking for a family who understands that she may have some extra medical needs along the way, but who also sees what we see: a bright, beautiful little girl with so much life ahead of her.

Penny has already overcome so much in her short life, and we cannot wait to see what her future holds. She deserves a family who will give her patience, love, and the chance to show everyone just how special she is.

Penny may have had a rough start, but we know her best days are still ahead.

The wonderful thing about Diamond is that she really tries to be the best girl. She wants to do the right thing, and you can almost see the wheels turning as she learns about all these new things she may not have experienced while living at the kennel. Give her a little patience, encouragement, and guidance, and she is eager to figure it out.

It is also VERY apparent that Diamond has had some serious obedience training. She knows her commands and clearly understands what is expected of her. She sits when its leash time, sits when the door opens and waits for you to tell her to go through. We suspect she may have spent some time as a board-and-train at the kennel she was at because this girl has some impressive skills!

She loves going for walks and is a fantastic car passenger. Diamond is quite happy riding shotgun, taking in the scenery and making sure everyone is following proper driving procedures.

And then there is the ball. Diamond LOVES to play ball. Throw it, she is on it. Throw it again, she is ready. And again. And again. We are pretty sure she would happily make ball retrieval her full-time career if someone would just keep the paycheck coming in tennis balls.

Diamond is dog-friendly. Once she feels comfortable with humans, her playful personality comes out. She is affectionate, curious, and wants to be involved in whatever her people are doing.

She isn't normally much of a talker, but put her in a crate and suddenly she has a LOT to say. Apparently, Diamond believes being crated is the perfect time to provide everyone within earshot with her thoughts on the situation.

She is also learning about some of the stranger things that come with being a house dog. The robot vacuum, or computer printer, for example, neither has not exactly won her endorsement. She is still reviewing those particular pieces of technology. She clearly does not approve.

Diamond is such a fun combination of youthful energy, intelligence, sweetness, and personality. She is learning every day, and watching her gain confidence as she experiences new things is pretty special. She would love a family who will continue her training, give her plenty of exercise and mental stimulation, play lots of ball, take her on adventures, and help her learn that all those new and sometimes weird things in the world are actually okay. Diamond tends to be very clingy once she determines you are her person.

She does startle easily by new things so a fully fenced yard will be required. Clearly learning about the outside world in her foster home.

Diamond is fully vetted, spayed, microchipped, current on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and on preventative. She is ready to keep learning, keep playing, and most importantly, finally have a family of her own. Diamond is fostered in Arizona. Adopters will need to travel to meet and adopt.

Because here's what we know: This 1-year-old Doberman arrived with very little information and approximately 17,000 unanswered questions. He was dropped off at a foster's boarding facility without official approval, with almost no history. We were told he had lived with children, another dog, and that his name was Doby.

That's it. Apparently, the rest of his biography was classified.

When he first arrived, he was scared, confused and understandably unsure about what was happening. But once he started settling in, we discovered something important:

THIS BOY IS A TOTAL DOG NUT.

LOVES other dogs.

Playing? YES.

Romping? YES.

Wrestling? ABSOLUTELY.

Running around like someone just announced free pizza? EVERY SINGLE TIME.

He has been having a blast at daycare and absolutely LOVES hanging out with his canine friends.

Give him another dog and suddenly the worried, uncertain boy disappears and the Doberman version of a professional WWE wrestler comes out.

But then there's the other side of this handsome guy.

He's a Doberman.

And apparently his internal software came with the "Protect My People at All Costs" package pre-installed.

Once he bonds with his humans, he is going to love them HARD. He will want to be with his people, know where his people are and keep tabs on his people.

Strangers?

Well...Strangers may apply for access. He will probably want to personally review their credentials, references, employment history and possibly their intentions regarding the snack cabinet.

This is why Atlas/Doby is NOT a first-time Doberman.

He needs someone who already understands this breed and knows that a Doberman can be loving, goofy, affectionate, intelligent, loyal and protective......sometimes all before breakfast.

He is young and still needs refinement. He needs continued training, structure, consistency and someone who will help him learn that he doesn't have to worry about everything going on around him.

And let's be clear:

He WANTS to learn.

He's young. He's smart. He's curious. He's playful. He's figuring things out.

He's not looking for someone who expects a perfectly finished product.

He's looking for someone who looks at him and says:

"Yep. I know Dobermans. I got this."

Because when he decides you're his person, you're probably going to know about it.

❤️ You will be loved.

️ You will be protected.

You will be monitored.

You will probably be followed into the bathroom. And heaven help the suspicious-looking Amazon delivery driver.

Because of his fear and uncertainty, a secure physical fence is non-negotiable. We require a tall privacy fence or very tall chain-link fence. No invisible fences, tie-outs or unfenced properties.

He has previously lived with children ages 1 through 9 and two other dogs, a little Yorkie and a large Lab. We're told those dogs apparently had him thoroughly trained in the art of knowing his place. Now he's discovering that life can actually be pretty fantastic.

He gets to play with dogs. He gets to wrestle. He gets to romp. He gets to make friends.

And slowly, he's learning that people can be trusted too.

What Atlas/Doby needs now is his person. Not just anybody.

Not someone who thinks, "I've never owned a Doberman, but how hard could it be?"

Nope. We're looking for an experienced Doberman owner who understands the breed, understands protective behavior, enjoys training and is willing to help this young guy grow into the

She would be fine in a doggy daycare as she is very social. Right now, I would say she is very sweet and very cuddly. People who have had this breed love it for the loyalty to their human. She is getting spayed and all her vaccinations at the Rescue. She is ready for her forever home. She would be best in a home with someone that doesn’t work all day everyday as she will need to finish up her puppy training. She would also be fine with children. We like them to be 8 or older due to her small size and trusting nature. A house with less stairs and less split levels would be best for her. She is currently in the CCPAL Rescue in Texas. She can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get him to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is $600 and transport is $200 to move her to another state. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states.

Friendly doesn’t even begin to describe Milo! Whether you’re an old friend or someone he’s meeting for the very first time, Milo wants to say hello. He loves people and is always ready to make a new friend.

At around one year old, Milo is still a young pup with plenty to learn. He’ll benefit from continued obedience training, especially when it comes to leash manners and walking skills. He’s also working on some typical young-dog behaviors, such as counter surfing and barking when he gets excited or wants to express himself. With time, consistency, and positive reinforcement, Milo has so much potential to become an amazing companion.

This active boy loves going on long walks where he can sniff all the wonderful smells the world has to offer. Squirrels don’t seem to distract him too much, but bunnies definitely catch his attention! When it’s time to play, Milo is a big fan of fetch, balls, and durable chew toys.

Milo is looking for a person or family who can keep up with his energy, provide structure and training, and include him in an active lifestyle. He’ll thrive with someone who has the time and patience to help him grow into his best self while enjoying all the fun and adventures life has to offer.

In return, you’ll get a smart, playful, affectionate companion who will fill your days with laughter, love, and plenty of tail wags.

Could Milo be the missing piece in your family? ❤️

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.

Murphy is a fun combination of playful and laid-back. He enjoys toys, fetch, squeaky plushies, snuffle mats, and especially spending quality time with his humans. He's energetic and enjoys getting out for walks and playtime, but once he's had some exercise, he's more than happy to settle in and relax. He also loves exploring the world with his nose, so leisurely sniff-filled walks are right up his alley! A fenced-in yard would be a wonderful bonus.

He's fully potty trained, leash trained, and a smart boy who is eager to learn. He already knows "sit" and "shake" and is working on improving his recall. He's also friendly and confident when meeting new people and is always happy to accept attention from anyone willing to give it!

Murphy gets along well with other dogs, although he generally prefers playing with his human friends. He's also very cat-savvy! He hasn't been around children, so a proper introduction and assessment would be important. One thing to know is that Murphy can be protective of high-value treats like bones around other dogs, so he'll need his own space to enjoy those special goodies.

Murphy's biggest challenge is being away from his people. He struggles with separation anxiety and can bark persistently when left alone, even when other dogs are present. His ideal home would be with someone who works from home, is retired, or otherwise spends most of their time at home. He is working on building confidence with alone time, and he'll need a patient family willing to continue helping him with that. Car rides can also make him anxious, although he enjoys feeling the breeze when the weather is nice!

At the end of the day, Murphy isn't asking for much. He just wants a family to love, a cozy spot to nap, toys to play with, walks to sniff, and plenty of opportunities to be close to his favorite people.

If you're looking for a devoted companion who will be your shadow, your cuddle buddy, your walking partner, and your very best friend, Murphy is ready to meet you! ❤️

Grainger is eager to please and is learning his manners. We're working on jumping, as he gets so excited to see his favorite people. He may also give affectionate little nibbles on your inner elbow or ears. He responds well to correction, although he may need a few reminders. Because of his enthusiasm, a home without small children may be best.

House Manners & Potty Training

Grainger is doing wonderfully with his potty training! He prefers going outside but will also use a potty pad if you miss his subtle signals. He does best when someone accompanies him outside, encourages him with a "Go Potty," and gives him lots of praise. He doesn't have accidents in his crate and settles in nicely. He may whimper softly at first because he'd much rather be with you, but he falls asleep quickly.

Other Dogs & Playtime

Grainger isn't quite sure how to play with other dogs yet. When his foster siblings play, he prefers to give them space and observe. He could be perfectly happy as your one-and-only or could be integrated into a home with another dog. He just wants love, attention, and a full food bowl!

Fun Facts About Grainger

Great car rider! He sits nicely beside you without trying to climb into your seat and doesn't require a crate for car rides.

Loves Benebones, balls, and stuffies. He especially enjoys chewing and trying to get those stuffies open!

Very cooperative when it's time to take toys away.

Loves bath time and does beautifully with grooming wipes.

Learning to sit and patiently wait.

Crates easily and settles down quickly.

Loves his food and gets excited for mealtime!

A Little About His Diet

Grainger has allergies, so his foster family has been careful to keep him on a raw diet that he absolutely loves. Because of his dietary needs, he isn't currently given treats. His food routine will need to be maintained and discussed with his adopter.

Grainger is a loving, gentle-hearted boy who wants nothing more than to be close to his people. He's happiest when he's getting affection, hearing your sweet voice, and knowing he's a good boy.

Could you be the person Grainger has been waiting for? ❤️

Bulldogs, pugs, and Boston terriers, Brussels Griffons, Pekingese and others are a member of the Brachycephalic breed and therefore have a host of health issues that may ar
