1. Josie
Welcome Josie to CCPAL Rescue. Josie is a Chug (Chihuahua/Pug) puppy. She weighs 4 pounds and is 9 weeks old. She will be a small dog full grown. She should be 12 pounds or less. She is very sweet and has an adorable rounded head. She likes to be held, is good in a crate, goes on a wee pad and loves to play with toys. She was born at the Rescue. They took in a stray female and she was pregnant. This means the puppies get lots of attention and are very used to being in a loud and rowdy environment. Josie would be best in a home that the person doesn’t work all day every day. She needs to finish up her puppy training. Social pups make great adults and now is the time for her to spend time with her family and to go places and let people pet her. She is an AMAZING puppy. She would be fine with children. Due to her small size, we would like children to be 8 or older. She is getting her puppy vaccines and will have 3. She will then be ready for spay and adoption. She can be adopted locally in Texas or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is $600 and transport is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states.

This sweet boy is a little shy and cautious at first, but he has such a loving personality! He enjoys being close to his people and is happiest right by your side. He especially loves the kids and will happily plop himself right on top of them for some cuddles!
He is a quick learner and has been making great progress with potty training when kept on a consistent schedule. He is also doing really well with crate training! He responds wonderfully to positive reinforcement, especially when treats are involved.
He is a gentle, affectionate puppy who just needs a little patience and reassurance as he builds his confidence. Once he feels comfortable, his sweet and cuddly personality really shines through!
A Little About Me!
Hi! I’m a sweet, cuddly pup who can be a little shy when meeting new people or trying new things, but once I get comfortable, I love being right by your side!
One of my favorite things to do is explore outside! There are so many new smells and things to discover. I also love being around other dogs and enjoy having furry friends to spend time with.
After a busy day of exploring and playing, you can usually find me curled up on the couch, snuggling with my favorite people. I especially love cuddling with kids and sometimes think I’m a lap dog!
I’m learning new things every day and doing really well with my potty training and crate. Treats and encouragement help me learn quickly!
I may need a little time to warm up, but I have so much love to give and can’t wait to find a family of my own!

21. Archie
Meet Baby Archie!
“Are you ready for some puppy kisses?” — Love, Archie!
Archie is the sweetest little guy with a big heart and so much love to give! At home, he’s completely comfortable and loves prancing around the house, checking in on every room to make sure he doesn’t miss a thing. He’s a perfect mix of playful and cuddly, with little bursts of energy when he’s ready to play and a love for squeaky toys. Once he’s all tuckered out, he’s more than happy to curl up in your lap for a nice, long nap. ❤️
Read more about Archie
This little shadow loves his people and wants to be wherever they are, preferably 24/7! Whether you’re lounging on the couch, going for a walk, or just going about your day, Archie is happiest by your side. He does well out in the world, but cars, people, and other dogs can be distracting. He can also be a little shy when strangers get too close, so he appreciates having the opportunity to approach people on his own terms. Loud noises can startle him, too, so a patient and understanding family will help him feel safe and secure.
Archie is still working on becoming fully potty trained, but he’s making progress and has minimal accidents when kept on a consistent potty schedule. He also experiences separation anxiety, so he would thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time or where he has another companion to help keep him company.
If you’re looking for a little best friend who will happily snuggle in your lap, join you on walks, entertain you with his playful antics, and shower you with puppy kisses, Archie might just be your perfect match! He has so much love to give and is ready to find his forever family.
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

Meet Nokomis — A Sweet Little Puppy Looking for His Forever Home!
Are you ready to add a little sweetness, silliness, and puppy love to your life? Meet Nokomis! This adorable little guy is looking for a loving forever home where he can grow, learn, and become the very best version of himself. ❤️
Read more about Nokomis
Nokomis is a happy, playful puppy who is full of personality! He has that special puppy charm that makes him so easy to fall in love with. He enjoys playing, exploring, and, of course, treats! If there’s food involved, you can bet Nokomis will be interested. His love of treats may also come in handy as he continues learning new things and building his confidence.
While Nokomis has a fun and playful side, he can be a little cautious when meeting new people. He may need some extra time to feel comfortable around someone new, so a patient and understanding family will be important for him. Rather than rushing him, allowing him to approach at his own pace and rewarding his brave moments will help him learn that the world can be a safe and wonderful place. Once he feels more comfortable, his sweet personality has so much room to shine!
Like many puppies, Nokomis is still learning all about the big world around him. Leash training is a work in progress, and right now, he sometimes freezes when he’s on the leash. He will need someone willing to work with him patiently, offering plenty of encouragement, gentle guidance, and tasty treats along the way. With time, consistency, and positive reinforcement, he can continue building confidence and learning that the leash can be part of fun adventures, exercise, and those important potty breaks.
Nokomis is also working on crate training. He can be vocal in his crate and may take a while to settle down, so his future family should be prepared to help him learn that his crate is a safe, comfortable place to relax. Patience, consistency, and a gentle approach will be important as he adjusts to his new surroundings and routine.
Please remember that Nokomis is still a puppy! He is learning, growing, and figuring out what is expected of him. He won't have everything mastered overnight, but with a family willing to invest time, love, and positive training, he has the opportunity to make wonderful progress. ❤️
✨ What makes Nokomis special? He's sweet, cute, and full of personality. He's happy and playful, with plenty of puppy fun to share. He loves treats and food, making them great tools for training. He has a softer, more cautious side that deserves patience and understanding. He's a work in progress who needs someone willing to help him learn and grow.
Nokomis is looking for more than just a place to live. He needs a family who will see his potential, celebrate his little victories, and stand by him as he gains confidence in new situations. Someone who understands that the best relationships take time and that watching a puppy blossom into a confident, loving companion can be one of life's sweetest rewards.
Imagine all the happy moments ahead: watching him discover his favorite toys, celebrating when he learns something new, enjoying playful puppy antics, and building a bond that grows stronger every day. With the right person by his side, Nokomis has so many wonderful experiences waiting for him!
If you have a loving heart, a little patience, and a willingness to help a young pup navigate the world, Nokomis may be the perfect addition to your family.
Nokomis is ready to start the next chapter of his life. Could that chapter be with 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 fr

23. Diamond
Diamond is a 5-month-old German Shepherd mix who is proof that even the toughest beginnings can lead to the sweetest stories. This beautiful tricolor girl had a rough start; she was found at just 3 weeks old with two broken bones in her rear left leg. But Diamond is a survivor, and she has worked incredibly hard to heal, learn, and discover just how wonderful life can be.Now around 25 pounds, Diamond is a happy, affectionate puppy who loves being part of the action. Her favorite things include exploring, going for walks, playing with squeaky toys and tug ropes, chewing on natural chews, and sharing affection with both her human and canine family members.This girl is smart and eager to learn! Diamond is crate and pen trained.
Read more about Diamond
She willingly goes into her crate, eats her meals in there, and sleeps there, too. Diamond is also making great progress with house training. Like many young puppies, she still needs frequent potty breaks and supervision.Diamond's leg injury has healed. She has made wonderful progress strengthening her muscles and improving flexibility, stability, and coordination. Watching her gain confidence and the physical ability to run around the yard has been incredibly rewarding.Diamond loves communicating with her people through check-ins and the occasional chat, although her vocal cues have been decreasing as she matures. With a voice that can carry, she wouldn't be a good fit for a home with shared walls, such as an apartment or townhouse.Diamond would love an active family who wants an active puppy. A fenced yard would be beneficial, as she enjoys the freedom to explore, play, and run with her newfound strength and coordination.She may have been knocked off course early in life, but Diamond didn't let that stop her. She's playful, affectionate, determined, and full of personality. If you are interested in Diamond, 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 $550.

24. Asiago
My name is Asiago and I am a 8 week old Great Pyrenees mix. My foster mom tells me I’ve got a face that melts hearts and I sure know how to use it to my advantage!! I’ll admit I’m a little spoiled in the snuggles department and love getting in close for some kisses. My spunky side comes out during playtime and when I’m outside following my nose, exploring the backyard. I'm still really young, but this whole potty training biz doesn't sound too hard- I think I'll have it down in no time! I don’t think walking on a leash will be too hard since I aim to please, but I have yet to test it out. I’m still snoozing with my siblings and I’m not sure how much I’ll like being in a kennel but I bet lots of treats will help! I’m looking for a playful and loving family (kids are great too) who has a heart as big as mine!

Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee:

25. Lacy
Lacy is a sweet, playful and curious 3 month old golden retriever mix and is looking for her forever home. She’s your typical puppy, full of energy and curiosity, with lots of learning still to do, but she is making great progress and picking things up quickly!
Read more about Lacy
Lacy loves people and enjoys being close to and interacting with her humans. She loves giving kisses and following her foster parents around the house to see what they’re up to (especially if it involves making food). She’s a playful girl who enjoys all kinds of toys, and when she’s ready for some downtime, she loves chewing on bones and treat puzzle toys. Lacy is also a very smart and food-motivated girl. She responds well to training and knows sit, lay down, and kennel up.
She enjoys playing with other dogs and is excited to have canine friends around. Like most puppies her age, she is still learning appropriate play manners. She is in the phase where she likes to nibble hands, clothes and just about anything she can reach. She’s learning that people aren’t chew toys and is working on redirecting that puppy energy toward toys and chews.
Lacy is also still building confidence when she encounters new people, sounds or things in her environment. She may bark when something catches her off guard or she isn’t quite sure about it, but she typically warms up quickly once she realizes everything is okay.
She is doing really well with her crate and potty training! Lacy sleeps quietly in her crate overnight without accidents. During the day, she spends a few hours at a time in her play pen without accidents. She is continuing to learn potty training and does well throughout the rest of the house when given frequent potty breaks and appropriate supervision.
Overall, Lacy is an affectionate and playful puppy who loves being part of the action. She has a fun, curious personality and is already showing how smart and eager to learn she is. She’ll bring plenty of kisses, laughs, and puppy adventures to her forever home!
Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $625.00

26. Priscilla Prissy
Welcome Priscilla “Prissy” to CCPAL Rescue. Priscilla is a 10-week-old sweetie. Lab/Black Mouth Cur mix is our best guess. She should be a medium sized dog 28 pounds or less. He is sturdy and has longer legs then her stubby legged brother. Her mom is Pickles and she is also medium sized. She is getting lots of attention at the Rescue and she is social, good with other dogs, good in a crate, learning wee pad manners and is over all a very nice puppy. The kennel staff usually bathe and clip toenails on a regular basis as well. She will be fine with grooming. She has a soft fluffy coat and adorable expressions. She was found as a stray with her mom who is Pickles. She is getting all 3 sets of his puppy vaccinations and will be spayed soon. She can be adopted locally in Texas or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Prissy would be fine in a family with children. We like them to be 8 or older. A puppy is always best with someone that is not gone all day every day. A puppy needs to bond with his humans and to go places to remain and grow up to be a well-rounded dog. Priscilla will also need to finish her puppy training. She would be great in a doggy daycare as she gets time playing off leash with other puppies her size. Her adoption fee is $600 and transport is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states.

27. Little Big Foot Special Needs
COMING SOON:
I'm just a tiny baby! I was born without a right hip joint and only a partial left hip joint. So far, it doesn't affect my movements. Only time will tell if this will be a problem for me or not. I'm just too teeny to know right now. Some dogs fare quite well and I like to think that'll be me! I'll need a family who is up for regular vet visits and physical therapy to keep the muscles around my joints strong. In return, I promise to be the best boy who will give you all the puppy snuggles and kisses your heart desires.

28. Cheese
Meet Cheese!
Cheese is a fun, playful, sweet little guy who is absolutely full of energy and personality! His tail is almost always wagging, and he is genuinely excited to see everyone — strangers, neighbors, friends, and especially his people.
Cheese loves to play and has been learning how to interact appropriately with dogs of all sizes. He has a playful attitude and is making great progress with his dog-to-dog skills. He loves being outside, going for walks, chasing squirrels, and doing zoomies around the house. He’s a highly active boy who would love a home that can keep up with his energy and continue helping him learn.
Read more about Cheese
When playtime is over, Cheese is happy to curl up on the couch for cuddles with his people. He also loves napping in the sunshine and, of course, investigating any snacks that happen to be left within reach!
Cheese is crate trained and is quiet and clean in his crate at night. He may bark during the day when left crated, so he is still working on feeling comfortable when separated from his people. He is potty trained on a schedule, although he may still have an occasional accident.
He is also working on his leash manners and is making progress toward becoming a great walking buddy. Cheese already knows several commands, including sit, come, go potty, and leave it. What a smart little boy!
Cheese is still learning about the world and how to respond to different situations. He is unsure about toddlers and smaller children and is continuing to learn how kids behave and interact. He has come so far since day one and is willing to learn, making progress with the right guidance, patience, and consistency.
One of Cheese’s favorite things is hearing someone come home — he perks right up and comes running to the door, ready to greet them! He is easy to have around, brings so much joy to his people, and has a wonderfully happy, playful spirit.
Cheese is a work in progress, but he is a very good boy who is learning more every day. His ideal home will continue building on his training, provide plenty of activity and enrichment, and appreciate all the goofy, energetic, cuddly joy this little guy has to offer.
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.

Adopting a puppy in St. Cloud
Puppies usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're weaned and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.
Ask the rescue how big the puppy is expected to grow and which breeds they think are in the mix, so you can plan for the dog they'll become.
Puppies need a lot of your time: house-training, a few minutes of training every day, several small meals, and someone home often enough to let them out. A puppy class is a good way to start.
