Meet Apricot 🍑

Apricot is a 5-year-old, 18-lb doodle with a heart full of love and a spirit of adventure. This sweet girl is truly one of a kind!

Apricot is a bit of an escape artist and definitely a runner, so she will need a very attentive adopter and a SECURE fenced yard. She has done well with a fully secured fence (reinforced with chicken wire) and is always supervised outside—she’s clever and curious and will explore any potential exit she can find. Because of this, a home without small children is recommended, as doors and gates need to be carefully managed.

The good news? Apricot is doing excellent with her potty training. She reliably goes outside for both potty breaks every time she’s taken out.

She’s what we lovingly call a Velcro dog. While she gets along just fine with other dogs, she doesn’t seek out playtime with them—her true happiness comes from being close to her person. She would thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time, enjoys taking their dog along with them, and has no more than one other dog.

Apricot is incredibly affectionate, gentle, and sweet, with not a mean bone in her body. She lives for cuddles and companionship and will happily be your devoted little shadow.

And one more adorable quirk—she’s a vertical jumper! She literally hops straight up in the air, earning her the nickname “Hopper” 🥰

Apricot is best suited for an experienced, attentive home looking for a snuggly, loyal companion who will be treasured and kept safe. If you’re searching for a loving little sidekick who just wants to be with you, Apricot may be your perfect match. 💕

Adoption $500. If you’re interested, please visit our website at www.underdogadopt.com to complete an application she’s located in Bradenton Florida and we generally do not adopt outside of a two hour radius.

⸻

Figgy’s story started a little rough. She was picked up as a stray with a large laceration on her chest, and the shelter reached out to ask if we could pull her and get her settled into a foster home once her stray hold was up. Of course, we said yes — and we’re so glad we did.

Figgy is pure sweetness in a tiny package. She absolutely adores snuggling, giving gentle kisses, and being close to her person. She loves her toys and has the cutest habit of chewing on her little blankies while cuddled up in bed right next to you.

She enjoys the company of other dogs and appears to be fully housetrained — she heads outside first thing in the morning to take care of business like a pro. While she hasn’t done much leash walking yet (she’s been loving life in a fenced yard with plenty of room to run and play), she truly seems like the perfect little companion.

Figgy weighs just about 7½ pounds and is estimated at 2 years old. She is currently still recovering from her spay, so she hasn’t been able to get a full groom just yet. But once her hair grows in and she gets a proper spa day, she’s going to be absolutely stunning.

Sweet, snuggly, non shedding and full of love — Figgy is ready to steal someone’s heart. 💕🐾
$500 adoption fee.

Meet Roxy! 🌶️💖
ID: 05892
Breed: Chihuahua–Terrier Mix
Age: 1.5 years
Weight: 8 lbs
Spayed • Microchipped • Vaccinated

Roxy is a spicy little Chi-mix with a huge heart and an even bigger personality! This petite girl is the perfect blend of playful and cuddly. She loves a good game of fetch, enjoys wrestling with her foster siblings, and is just as happy being carried around like the tiny treasure she is—especially when it leads to snuggle time with her favorite humans.

With her adorable scruffy long coat, Roxy is a non-shedder (bonus!), and she’s as smart as she is cute. She’s athletic, responds well to commands, and sleeps soundly through the night like a champ. She does well on a leash and in a crate, but her favorite place by far is right by your side.

Roxy would thrive either as an only dog soaking up lots of love and attention or with a friendly canine companion to play with. Loyal, loving, and full of personality, this little girl is ready to bring big joy to her forever home.

Could Roxy be your new best friend? 💗🐶

Meet Teddy! 🧸
ID: 05893
Breed: Malte-poo
Age: 1 year
Weight: 10 lbs
Neutered • Microchipped • Vaccinated

Teddy is a friendly, fluffy little ball of joy who truly loves everyone and everything! This happy boy is playful, affectionate, and full of puppy enthusiasm. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs, kids, and adults, making him an easy fit for many families.

With his adventurous and energetic spirit, Teddy would thrive in a home with a fenced yard and plenty of playtime—whether that’s with doggy friends or his favorite humans. He’s still learning the ropes on leash walking and will benefit from some gentle training, but he’s eager to please and very food-motivated (treats are his love language!).

Teddy isn’t a big fan of the crate just yet, though he does fine for short periods and has been perfectly happy sleeping outside of it. The good news? He appears to be potty trained and will go right to the door to let you know when it’s time to head outside. 🎉

This sweet boy loves toys, snacks, playtime, and—most importantly—cuddles. Teddy is searching for a forever family who will give him lots of attention, fun adventures, and plenty of snuggle time.

Could Teddy be your perfect match? 💕🐶Teddy’s adoption fee is $500. If you are interested in adoption, please visit our website at underdogadopt.com and complete an application.

Chewy’s life took a turn when his family welcomed a new baby, and sadly this tiny boy was left on the sidelines. Thankfully, that’s all behind him now — because Chewy is ready to be someone’s whole world.

Chewy is a precious little Silky Terrier, about 6 years old and under 10 pounds, with the sweetest soul. He absolutely adores affection and happily soaks up every cuddle, belly rub, and kind word that comes his way. Chewy is a smart little guy too — he’s already learning how to walk nicely on a leash and is making great progress with his house training. He gets along well with other dogs and would love a canine buddy or a human who’s home often.

Chewy is gentle, loving, and endlessly grateful for attention. He’s ready to give his whole heart to a family who will never overlook him again. Could that be you? 💛🐶
Chewy is up to date on all vetting including a dental.

Hi all! Homer here! I am a Bedlington Terrier Mix-( we think!). I'm a 6-month-old puppy and still in potty training. I'm doing pretty good, though! When I got to my foster home, I was kind of skinny, but I'm eating great now! I weighed 9 pounds initially, but I'm about 11.5 pounds now. I should get to between 17-23 pounds when I grow up!

I am up to date on shots, am microchipped and neutered. My foster parents say I am a charming and sweet boy who loves to frolic about! I love to play with stuffed toys and my ball and run around in the yard. I have two other siblings here and I love playing with them, too! Please adopt me and you will have the most loyal and loving 4-legged family member ever!
Adoption fee is $500.
Homer is located in Bradenton Florida. We usually only adopt within a two hour radius. We do not ship dogs if you are interested and can provide a stable loving home for the next 15+ years please apply at www.underdogadopt.com

Meet Rascal — the sweetest little sidekick 💛

Breed: Poodle/Bichon mix
Age: 2 years
Weight: 14 lbs
Coat: Non‑shedding
Health: Recently neutered
Training: House‑training ~75% complete; walks beautifully on a leash

Rascal is a truly special boy—smart, loving, and eager to please. He enjoys playtime and learns quickly, but he’s just as happy to curl up for a nap on the couch or snooze on his dog bed while you work. He gets along well with other dogs; however, his play can be a bit overwhelming for very small senior pups, so a home with a fun canine companion(s) (or where he can be the center of attention) would be ideal.

What Rascal is looking for:

An adopter committed to finishing his house‑training with consistent routines
Daily walks and short, positive training sessions (he’s very smart and responsive!)
Plenty of love, soft places to nap, and time with his people.
Rascal is young- we are not looking to rehome rascal again in his middle to senior years-due to an inappropriate adoption.
If you’ve been searching for a new best friend, you won’t find a better one than Rascal. He’s ready to bring joy, cuddles, kisses and heart‑melting cuteness to his forever family.
Rascals been fully vetted. He’s adoption fee is 500.

It’s going to be a Merry Christmas for sweet Nunu! Happy adoption day! ❤️

Gorgeous Chanel is truly one of a kind 💕 She has the most beautiful, thick, plush coat and perfectly symmetrical facial markings that look just like a little masquerade mask — she turns heads everywhere she goes.

Chanel is as lovely on the inside as she is on the outside. She’s friendly, affectionate, and gets along wonderfully with people and other dogs. (She would prefer a cat-free home.) At about 35 lbs, she’s more husky-sized than pomeranian, solid and sturdy — though she wouldn’t mind shedding a few pounds and would be happiest closer to 30 lbs (relatable, right?).

We see Chanel thriving as a family dog with a fenced yard where she can safely explore, play, and enjoy the outdoors she loves so much. She’s happy whether she’s sniffing around the yard, going for leashed walks, or enjoying time at the dog park.

Chanel has had some training and is a joy to walk — she’s great on a leash with no pulling and knows common commands like Sit, Stay, Down, Off, and No. She sleeps soundly in her crate at night and also crates well when traveling in the car.

Chanel recently underwent bladder stone surgery and has made a full, successful recovery 🙌 She will remain on a special urinary tract diet, which is easily found at pet stores.

This stunning, sweet girl is ready to bring beauty, companionship, and joy to the lucky family who welcomes her home 🐾💖$300
