Please apply to schedule a meeting with Valerie

• Requires another dog in home: NO
• Okay with dogs of all sizes: Yes
• Requires a fenced yard: No
• Okay with children under 12 years old: Respectful children 

Valerie is a French bulldog x English bulldog and  new to our rescue.  She is about 6 years old and 26 pounds.  She is a darling lady that was rescued from a commercial breeder recently.  She is learning how to trust people and learning that dogs can be friends.  Currently she would probably do best as an only dog or with a  strong pack leader who can teach her proper dog socialization skills.  She isn't aggressive, just a bit  grumbly and listens well to correction.  

She really enjoys the comforts of a calm environment so would do best in a home without young kids.  She can't wait to meet you!  

Breed experience is not required, but please research the breeds, medical needs, and financial needs behind the breeds.  French and English bulldogs can be one of the most expensive breeds to rescue, maintain, and care for.

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:

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  www.underdogrescuemn.com/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.
