Meet Ocean - also knows as Frank! He also goes by Franker Banker, Frank the Tank, Frankie Pie, Big Daddy Frank Baby. He is a loveable 2 year old French Bulldog that lives for cuddling, going on walks, chewing his favorite bone and playing fetch. Frank loves to chase squirrels and a ball of any kind in the backyard. He is so smart! He also loves lounging and napping outside in the sun. A fenced yard where he can play and relax would be ideal. He is a super chill boy when at home but he does enjoy being active. He gets so excited for a walk with his foster Mom and playdates with other dogs outside of his home.

Frank is potty trained and leash trained. He doesn't love his crate and is happiest free roaming during the day. This foster Mom puts up gates to keep him in designated areas when she leaves. He has never chewed anything or had an accident while she was away. He stands at the door when he needs to go out and waits patiently at his food dish when he knows it's time to eat. Speaking of food, he is extremely food motivated. We are working on this and keeping dog treats or your own food on a high surface is a must for he has discovered how to get on a chair and then onto a table if he smells or sees you enjoying anything tasty.

Frank will happily greet a friend or a stranger. However, he will do best in a home without other dogs or small children requiring your attention. He tends to police situations he finds uncomfortable or not socially correct. He needs a strong pack leader that is willing to correct and work with him on this. Frank wants to be the center of one's world and in return he will make you the center of his. Frank would love to work on obedience classes with you to remind him he is not in charge and that you are. He does not understand sharing attention with other dogs or small children and does has shown aggression with both.

Frank truly is one in a million and this foster Mom will be a mess when he leaves. However, she knows finding the best environment for him to thrive in is what he deserves.

Bulldogs are a member of the Brachycephalic breed and therefore have a host of health issues that may arise. Because these dogs are new into our rescue, health issues in the future may arise that we are not aware of. Some of these issues are allergies, eye issues, yeast infections, interdigital cysts, slipped disks in their back, breathing problems, among a host of others that can occur at any time or when seasons change. While breed experience is not required, we encourage you to thoroughly research the breed and its financial, medical, and environmental needs to be sure the breed is a good fit for you and your family. It is estimated that the average bulldog owner spends $2,000 per year on medical needs.
Bulldogs are one of the most expensive dogs to own, maintain, and rescue and our adoption fees reflect such expenses. The application process for bulldogs usually moves quite quickly as they are a popular breed, so we ask that adopters do research and be prepared for adoption at the time you submit your application. They are happy, goofy, playful characters and we are excited you are taking the first steps into rescuing one!
This dog requires an application fee. This fee must be paid within 24 hours or your application will be considered void. We will not review or contact applicants that have not completed the payment portion. Bulldog Applications will be responded to within 5 business days, after receipt of the application fee. Please understand that paying the fee does not guarantee you will be approved to adopt the bulldog. Our goal is place bulldogs in homes that are suited for their individual needs. You may be willing and able to provide a great home, but if it doesn’t meet the specific needs of the bulldog, we will not approve your application.

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:

http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/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 http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/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 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.
