Meet Tip Toe — a silly, sweet Beagle looking for his forever home!
Tip Toe is an absolutely delightful guy who is always up to something. He loves toys of all kinds—stuffed toys, balls, bones, Kongs—you name it, he wants to investigate it! He’s even been known to stockpile his favorites, sometimes carrying two toys in his mouth at once.
When he’s ready to relax, Tip Toe loves curling up on the couch or bed and being squished right between his people. He also loves belly rubs, gentle pets, being talked or sung to, and a little good-natured roughhousing. When relaxation mode ends, though, watch out for the zoomies! He gets them multiple times a day, both inside and outside.
Tip Toe loves being near his people, but he also has an independent streak. He enjoys exploring the yard, sniffing for squirrels, investigating the toy basket, and generally making sure nothing interesting is happening without him. He especially loves walks where he can stop and sniff all the new smells.
And yes… he has recently discovered his Beagle voice! So far, we’ve heard his impressive bay when we come home but haven’t let him out of his crate yet while our resident dog is barking, and when he spotted and smelled a squirrel on a walk and his mean foster mom refused to drop the leash so he could give chase.
Tip Toe does not have experience with cats. He may be okay with a dog-savvy cat, but because he may have a prey drive, adopters with cats should be prepared to introduce them carefully.
He is still working on potty training and has done some marking in his foster home, so his forever family will need to continue working with him on that.
If you’re considering Tip Toe, please do a little research on Beagles first! He definitely displays some classic Beagle traits: when the nose is on, the ears are OFF; he may pull when following an interesting scent; he can be stubborn; he has a strong opinion about things; and he is very enthusiastic about food.
But that’s all part of what makes him Tip Toe. He is incredibly charming, affectionate, hilarious, and sweet, and he keeps his foster family laughing every day.
We think Tip Toe would make a fantastic lake-house buddy, camping companion, road-trip co-pilot, kids’ sporting-event sidekick, walking buddy, couch cuddler, and all-around family dog.
If you’re looking for a fun-loving Beagle who will keep life interesting and fill your home with laughter, Tip Toe might just be your guy. ❤️
Tip Toe is ready to find his forever 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.

ADOPTION EVENTS:
Adoption events are updated at the top of each dogs animals' as their foster home signs up. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. If an event is not listed within their bio above, the animal is not planning to attend. Please understand that all of our pets are in volunteer foster homes and sometimes "life" happens and the foster family cannot make it to their scheduled adoption event. If you are traveling from a far distance to meet a specific animal, please understand we cannot guarantee event attendance. We recommend filling out an application and we will set up a private appointment. Private appointments are only scheduled after an application is submitted and approved.
ADOPTION PROCEDURE:
The first step in our process is to complete an online adoption application on our website:
.underdogrescuemn/adoptionprocess/
Note: In most circumstances Underdog Rescue will only adopt within 60 miles of Minneapolis, MN.
All of our foster animals can be seen by appointment with an approved adoption application. Contact us at .underdogrescuemn/contact-us/ if you have further questions.
FOSTER CARE:
All of our animals are fostered in individual homes or doggie daycare facilities. While they are in our care, they are part of our families and given lots of love. We work on training, crate-training and socialization prior to adoption, but each bio is written by the foster as they see them, in their home. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality, but it cannot be guaranteed. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves in time and with patience. If you have an interest and ability to be a foster home, please visit our website .underdogrescuemn/foster-applications and fill out a foster application.
NUTRITION:
Nutrition is vital to the rehabilitation and life-long health of our pets. All of our foster animals are fed a premium diet such as NutriSource, Canidae, Orijen, Nature's Variety, Fromm, Pure Vita, Stella and Chewy's, Primal, or balanced raw diet. All adopters are required to continue providing premium diets for the life of the animal.
