Hello, my name is Sabrina! I’m a 15-pound female French Bulldog who is about 8 years old. I am the happiest girl, but an initially a little shy. I like getting petted and loved, and just a note that if you don’t come say hi to me, I will bark to let you know I want you to (hee hee sorry!). I’m still sort of learning how to be a dog. I don’t like to be my adorable, sweet self to humans right away, but I do warm up! I like to chew on toys and eat treats. My biggest fear is overwhelming commotion. I’ve never met young kids before but I’m sure they are just as adorable and nice as I am so it shouldn’t be a problem! I’m not potty trained yet but mom says I’m close when on a good schedule. I am trained to walk nicely on a leash, so my furever home doesn’t need to have a fenced yard. I am also trained to sleep in my crate at night, however I would also share your comfy bed with you if your okay with it! When mom says the words “go potty” and “kennel,” I always listen and understand what she says. I do like all dog friendly dogs and need one in my forever home to play and teach me important dog things. I have never been around cats, but if they are nice, I know we would get along well! I only bark when I lack attention, but when you give me attention, I promise I will melt your heart with how much love I have to give. I would be an amazing addition to my furever home because I check all the boxes when it comes to being your picture perfect adorable little girl. Ecstatic is an understatement when describing how excited I am to go to my furever home, and I know that even during my shy first few days I will melt your heart. Love, Sabrina.
Some of our dogs are obtained from commercial breeders where they spent their lives getting comfort from their canine friends. Others have come from various situations where they are lacking confidence in humans. In turn, most require another companion dog in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog, and do not currently have a dog residing with you, please understand that your home might not be the right fit for many of our dogs.
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. In addition to normal pre adoption surgeries, Sabrinaalso had surgery on her nares and soft palate to improve the quality of her breathing. This is reflected within her adoption fee. 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. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there*** More about SabrinaGood with Dogs, Good with Older/Considerate Kids Only, Good with Adults, Somewhat vocal, Does not require a yard, Cratetrained, Playful, Affectionate, Eager To Please, Gentle, Needs a companion animal If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com>
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.
