More about the shelter
Underdog Rescue and Placement was founded in 2000 by Shannon McKenzie. Having volunteered for several other animal rescue organizations, Shannon saw a need to help the dogs and cats often overlooked by other rescuers, the âUnderdogsâ
Our very first rescues included a pair of black kittens named Fenway & Wrigley, a pitbull puppy named Lucy and a tiny Toy Poodle named Lily (who was suffering from a head injury). No other rescue groups would take Fenway or Wrigley because black kittens are often overlooked by potential adopters, and, up until the time we rescued Lucy, rescue groups had not been allowed to rescue any dog considered to be a âPit Bullâ from Minneapolis Animal Control.
While in law school, Shannon McKenzie had the âanti-pitbullâ policy changed, with the assistance of Attorney, Marshall Tannick. Underdog Rescue continues to successfully rescue and place pitbulls and other âbully-breedsâ through a continued partnership with Minneapolis Animal Control.
Shannonâs dedication to the Underdog also extends to puppy mill survivors. Dogs that survive life in a puppy mill often come with a different set of challenges. They may require additional medical care, socialization and teaching of basic dog skills even though some may be adults. Our volunteers understand this and welcome these pets into their homes to show them what life as a dog and life with kind humans is like.
Our process for adoption is:
1. Potential applicant searches our available dogs and/or cats listings and completes an adoption application.
2. Our staff reviews the application and puts you in contact with the foster volunteer of the pet your interested in.
3. The foster volunteer coordinates a âmeet and greetâ with you and any other members of your household.
4. If the foster and adopter agree the pet is a good fit, a home visit will be scheduled. Upon completion of a successful home visit, you will complete and sign our adoption contract, pay the fee, and take home your new pet!

HI I’m Molly! I’m an adorable tiny little girl who is just as happy as can be! I have the cutest smile and when I’m really happy my whole body wiggles like crazy. If I don’t have the body wiggles then I have the cutest nub wag to show you I want to be friends. I’m a little nervous with people. I want so bad to be your friend, but I will stay just a tad out of reach. I get up my courage though if you bend down to me and I give happy little kisses to your hands and then dance around you til I come back for another round of kisses. I do like pets though and will give you my belly for belly rubs. Each day my foster mama holds me and I shake for a few minutes, but then I settle in. I know that we are working on trust and confidence and I’m getting it pretty quickly! I really enjoy the presence of another dog and they give me a lot of confidence so I do ask that my home has one. I’ll be following them and you around the home because I’m curious about things. If you work from home I make a great companion because I’m usually pretty quiet and will snuggle up with the dog in your home and nap. I’ve discovered that tv is a pretty interesting thing too and my foster mama catches me watching it pretty often. I’m working hard on kennel and potty training. I’m a little too scared to walk on leash yet so I haven’t practiced it much, which I another reason I need a fenced in yard right now. I haven’t met any kids or kitties yet. I can say that kitties are bigger than I am so I might be just fine with them. I think little kids might be a little too loud and overwhelming for me so older respectful kids would be a better fit. If you have love to give and a little patience then I think we would be great together! I promise you won’t be disappointed!
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. 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.
