Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting. 

Hi I'm Faye, but answer to Toula!  I'm a beautiful happy, English Bulldog lady looking for my forever home.  I had found an amazing home, but due to some human health issues, I am back with Underdog and looking for another family to love me.  I was so blessed to find my previous mama and know Underdog will help me find my next!  I am a creature of habit and enjoy doing the same thing every day so I know my expactations - and hey, I like what I like!
I enjoy snuggling on the couch in my blankie with someone and napping the day away.  On the couch alone I like to observe the world around me. I adore belly rubs and I'll give you my big happy smile, lift my paw and wag it in the air to say please scratch my belly and I'll be yours forever!  Loud noises and new situations can be scary for me and I get nervous and try to get to a safe zone.  I just need more time to continue building up my confidence.  Because of that, older respectful kids would be best for me.  I will say, I do adore kids, I just need them to not be too loud or energetic.
I potty on leash, love my kennel since it's one of my safe spots and give big wet kisses if you're ok with it.  I'm good with other dogs but do need my person to remind me sometimes that I'm not the boss of the couch.  A thrive in an environment with a strong pack leader.  When I meet a new doggie friend I sometimes bark and jump at them because I'm a little scared.  It doesn't take long though and I realize they won't hurt me and I want to be with them running in the yard to play.  Kitties are a little too interesting for me, so no kitties in my forever home - or chickens. I like to chase those too - sorry!  So far I'm not food motivated - weird for a bulldog huh haha!   I can go up and down stairs in my foster home too.  I've also done pretty well with potty training so far.  If you're looking for a pretty lady to complete you're family you should hurry and apply for me!

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:

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.
