Please fill out a bulldog application to meet Adalee: https://underdogrescuemn.com/adoptionprocess/bulldogs/

Hello, my name is Adalee and I am a beautiful and quiet young adult female English Bulldog who is super funny, or so foster mom says…and I have an enormous amount of love to share. I am a very curious girl who loves to explore EVERYTHING and trot alongside mom when she’s doing stuff around the house or when we go on our incredibly awesome leashed walks. Ya know, it would be so incredible if my new family could be home to keep me company because I just love being with my people!! 

Some of my favorite things include cuddling, napping and my squeaky stuffed turkey whom I’ve named Cranberry. I love to toss Cranberry around when we play…I think she loves it too!! My favorite treat is peanut butter…YUMMM!!! If foster mom ever has to give me a pill, she puts it in peanut butter and I gobble it right up…I think foster mom thinks I don’t know the pill is in there but I do….oh, believe me, I do… but the peanut butter is so yummy that I don’t even care if there’s anything hidden in it. Anyway, I would have to say that my most favorite thing in the world though is getting loves, attention and pets from my humans and if the pets stop I will lovingly tell you to keep going by giving you my hand…I mean paw…and my adorable puppy-dog eyes…seriously who can resist that am I right!?!

I am fearful of a lot of commotion and have not had any experience with kids or cats but I am still learning about this new life of mine, so I should be the only dog in my new home.  I spent my previous life as a breeding mama and did not have proper socialization, so I am still learning about dogs, and play, and what it all means. I would love a forever home who has bulldog experience and can help me learn and do an obedience class to teach me all about this!  Speaking of  training, I am working very hard at potty training but because I’m not quite there yet, foster mom keeps me in my kennel/crate while she’s gone so I don’t have any accidents in the house. I really don’t mind my crate either, I think of it as my safe haven where I can go just to get away from it all if you know what I mean! As a matter of fact, foster mom says that I am the “best crate-trained dog” she’s “ever seen” and I even know what to do when she says “kennel/crate” …you see, I’m very smart too!

Foster mom says that I am her “favorite” and that I am “the best little love” and that I “deserve the best home”. I completely agree with her on all accounts! Now all I have to do is find a patient person who will love me unconditionally, keep me safe, will NOT give up on me and who is looking for a loving and cuddly companion who loves being loved and is simply looking for security. I know in my heart that you and I are a perfect match so please come and take me to my new home. I assure you I’m worth it; I will enrich your life more than you could possibly know and I will let you pet and love on me as much as you want!

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.
